 a prison for wildlife, lacking freedom and nature. Along with the process of urbanization,

.
First
 and foremost,
zoos
 may be used as a home to endangered
species
. A
species
 earns the title of “endangered” when they are hunted to extinction and life-threatening levels by human beings. Only a few of their kind will exist on
this
 planet, susceptible to even their natural predators.
That is
 why
zoos
 act as a shelter for these
animals
. There they are fed, taken care of and protected round-the-clock. Accommodation will be provided for them until their fertility rate has stabilized and are self-sustainable enough to go back to their natural habitats.
On the other hand
,
zoos
 are often viewed as unnatural habitats for
animals
 to live in. Imagine being caged, locked away from the outside world, and living in a closed, unfamiliar and unsanitary place for the rest of your life and generations to come. These boxes prevent natural growth in
animals
 since they cannot provide the exact environment where they live. These
species
 will slowly become inactive and attached to a manmade environment, so much so that they will either die alone in their prison or be unable to assimilate into their natural habitat again. In short,
zoos
 should only be used with the sole purpose of aiding in protecting and preserving endangered
species
. They should not be used as mere destinations for human’s entertainment.
Instead
 of expanding
zoos
, we should focus on rebuilding the habitats that people took away from them and illegalizing overhunting.
