Some people think that intelligence is innate while others think that we can improve our intelligence through learning.

Zoos

have been a widely-loved source of entertainment over the

last

decades.

However

, more and more people have been questioning the humanity of housing

animals

in small cages just for the amusement of the populace. In my opinion,

zoos

are cruel and have no particular reason to keep working.

First

-of-all,

animals

are kept in captivity and away from their natural habitat. For the most part, wildlife is kept in small cages that do not replicate the natural living area. These artificial conditions prevent wild

animals

from natural processes like foraging, hunting, and grazing, but

also

conditions that

show examples

for living, including habitat and relationships with other

species

.

Secondly

,

zoos

damage public attitudes towards conservation. Unfortunately, keeping

animals

in pens makes people believe in their dominance over other

species

and lack of necessity to care for them.

Zoos

create an impression of wildlife being an exhibit rather than a living creature.

Furthermore

, attenders do not see a representation of wild

animals

, because

zoos

tend to have a few large and cuddly

species

.

This

view negatively affects people's attitudes and awareness of conservation. In conclusion, the conditions in

zoos

and carelessness towards conservation make

zoos

cruel and pointless. From my point of view, there needs to be more effort put into preserving wilderness areas and protecting endangered

species

instead
