Some people think that wild animals should not be kept in zoos. Other believe that there are good reasons for having zoos. Discuss both these view and give your opinion.
There appear to be differing views on whether
zoos
are the appropriate and acceptable places for wild animals
. On the one ,hand people argue that keeping animals
in zoos
is inhuman, while on the other ,hand a group of people finds many advantages in having zoos
.
It is self-evident that a zoo is not a suitable place for wild animals
. It depends very much on the sizes of animals
whether they should be kept in cages. Additionally
, other conditions such
as temperature or surroundings are also
important. For example
, a polar bear prefers low temperatures while a zebra rather enjoys hot weather. Moreover
, some animals
like lions need a very large area to move around in. Therefore
, there is a need for very varied conditions although
it is very hard to offer that. And last
but not least, being exposed to a large number of people is not good for the mental health and well-being of animals
.
It can not be denied that zoos
have a lot of advantages as well. To begin
with,a zoo is a perfect place for children to learn about wildlife and nature. Therefore
, zoos
are important for educational purposes. In addition
to that, universities and researchers are usually in close cooperation with zoos
in order to save endangered species.Furthermore
, keeping wild animals
in zoos
is also
an option to save animals
that are threatened by illegal hunters or, for instance
, by deforestation.
Personally, I think that there is a substance in both views. However
, all things considered, I believe that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Although
I agree that there are some negative aspects such
as inhuman conditions, more positive aspects can be found. Therefore
, things like saving animals
from illegal hunters and educating our children are the main arguments why we all should be in favour of having zoos
