Many people believe that zoos have no purpose in today’s world and should be closed. What problems do zoos bring? What are the alternatives to zoos if they are closed?

The existence of

zoos

has been discussed a lot. Many people believe that

zoos

are no longer needed and should be shut down. In

this

essay, the issues and the alternatives to

zoos

, if they are closed, will be outlined. The obvious problem in some

zoos

is cleanliness.

For example

, some places leave the cages covered with dung and let it has a bad smell. A sticking smell can cause many illnesses and

also

interrupt visitors’ viewing.

Moreover

,

zoos

are known as places that take

animals

out of their environments

such

as forests or the ocean. Many

animals

are forced to live in a strange environment. Some should live only in their place and are not suitable to dwell in a small cage. Some should go hunting.

In other words

, they should not just lie around. In terms of alternatives,

wildlife

parks are more useful. These provide more space for the

animals

.

Additionally

,

wildlife

parks are designed to mimic the natural habitat as closely as possible. The difference between a zoo and a

wildlife

park is that a zoo contains

animals

for exhibition while a

wildlife

park protects wild

animals

. At the same time, we should promote nature documentaries

such

as National Geographic so that some people do not have to go to

zoos

. In conclusion,

zoos

are not the only ones where we can see and study

animals

. There are many ways to study and not harass

animals

. If

zoos

do not exist, we can still experience nature.
