Wild
animals
 are kept in
zoos
 all over the world. At present,
zoos
 are a tourist attraction in many countries and need wild
animals
 to attract visitors. I here that wild creatures should not be kept in
zoos
 and there should be alternative ways to see them. There are many good reasons for having
zoos
 in our cities. Most importantly, they attract tourists and make money for the city. Visitors get a chance to see wild
animals
 that they would not see unless they travelled far away. Rare species, like the Chinese panda, Indian tiger, or African rhino ,
for example
, are endangered and if we had no
zoos
 they would die.
Zoos
 care for these aminals and give us chance to see them.
Therefore
, we cannot underestimate the educational importance of
zoos
.
However
, many people feel that wild
animals
 should be free. They should not be kept in cages and small areas in
zoos
.
This
 is heir for
animals
 and they often die because they are not in their natural habitat. We frequently see

 or getting sick because the area is not big enough or suitable for wild
animals
 like lions or polar bears.
Also
, these
animals
 are unhappy and sometimes attack humans. Caging wild
animals
 is unhealthy for the
animals
 and is cruel. Both views put forward valid points,
however
, I strongly believe that
zoos
 are no place for wild
animals
. If
animals
 need to be cared for, they should be looked after in their natural habitat in game parks or wildlife reserves. Governments should look after the precious wild
animals
 in their country and should close down
zoos
 that profit from them. In conclusion,
although
 people believe that
zoos
 are good places to keep wild
animals
 because they can earn money and educate people, I feel that we do not need
zoos
 anymore. As far as I am concerned, wild
animals
 should be set free.
