. The
first
Linking Words
group may have two main reasons for having
zoos
Use synonyms
.
Firstly
Linking Words
, it would be better for children to visit these creatures in person. They have been learnt about
animals

in schools but it would not be as effective as seeing them alive. It
also
Linking Words
may help them to become more passionate about other creatures.
For example
Linking Words
, perhaps many zoologists were taken to these places a lot during their childhood which has affected their curiosity.
Secondly
Linking Words
, some species are endangered enough that need to be kept in a safe place to live and breed.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, I agree with the argument against
this

idea. In my opinion, any kind of creature should not be kept in a cage. Wild
animals

need to be as much free as humans and live on their own,
otherwise
Linking Words
, they may get depression. Keeping them in

also

could affect the food chain and the consequences would not be favourable.
For instance
Linking Words
, the lack of some predators may result in the overpopulation of some species
such

as foxes that would eat crops. Another reason against
zoos

is that some managers and zookeepers would be harsh on these creatures and injure them. In conclusion,
although

there are convincing reasons to keep wild

in
zoos

, I believe that they should be free to leave and hatch or die.
