Some people believe that zoos are cruel so that they should be closed. However, some people hold the belief that these place are actually in terms of animal protection. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

There is no doubt that

zoos

have become a very common sighting around the globe. While many advocates that captivating

animals

in confined places are cruel, others opine that

this

practice is for the betterment of species. I agree with the latter view. In

this

essay, I will discuss both ideas and provide my opinion.

Firstly

, keeping

animals

in a closed and unnatural environment have been practised for years.

Although

this

was for entertainment, horses were often harmed in one way to get

this

performance.

For example

, a jockey beats with a leather whip to win horse racing. .

Furthermore

,

animals

lose their inherent skills by keeping in cages as they are not exposed to the natural environment.

On the other hand

,

zoos

' modern concept is entirely different from the past. To

further

illustrate

this

, nowadays,

zoos

have been constructed in various manners like safari parks, reservation and breeding centres.

This

concept has helped develop an eco-system in which

animals

are grown and protected.

For instance

, in my neighbourhood, a crocodile breeding centre has helped conserve and protect

this

animal.

Additionally

,

zoos

provide various facilities for the

animals

, be it wild or domestic. Veternity teams are a must in every zoo; they look after the health issues of these

animals

. They

also

play a pivotal role in creating awareness and education about animal wellbeing and the importance of biodiversity among society and children. To conclude, despite many protests and resistance against

this

concept, it is clear that

this

kind of setup is necessary to preserve

animals

and their rights. I firmly believe that

zoos

, if managed well and organised, can serve their fundamental purpose very well.
