Some people think that zoos are cruel and have no place in the modern world. Others feel that zoos still serve a useful purpose. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

Zoos

can be quite controversial amongst animal lovers.

While

Linking Words

some people think that

zoos

Use synonyms

are useful in some ways, I side with those who feel that

zoos

Use synonyms

are inhumane and should

therefore

Linking Words

be shut down. On the one hand, it could be argued that there are some pros of having

zoos

Use synonyms

.

Firstly

Linking Words

,

zoos

Use synonyms

can provide suitable living conditions for endangered

animals

Use synonyms

. Take elephants

for example

Linking Words

, which are often poached for their ivory tusks, but when living in

zoos

Use synonyms

, they can benefit from a protected environment to remain safe from illegal hunters.

Besides

Linking Words

that, the

animals

Use synonyms

can be well taken care of

due to

Linking Words

the availability of veterinary care, and these multiple levels of protection should be able to extend their life expectancy.

Secondly

Linking Words

,

zoos

Use synonyms

can act as a recreation area

as well as

Linking Words

an educational resource where visitors can see various types of

animals

Use synonyms

in person and learn about them. In fact, not only can they offer fun activities

such

Linking Words

as animal feeding, but they can

also

Linking Words

raise awareness about

animals

Use synonyms

that are on the verge of extinction.

In other words

Linking Words

, more people can be encouraged to partake in preservation efforts to prevent animal extinction.

On the other hand

Linking Words

, I agree with those who argue that

zoos

Use synonyms

should be closed down for their sheer cruelty.

Firstly

Linking Words

, by being kept inside

zoos

Use synonyms

,

animals

Use synonyms

can feel extremely uncomfortable living in artificial zones, which are nowhere near as spacious as their natural habitat.

For example

Linking Words

, whale sharks, despite their immense size, are often seen being confined in relatively small pools, thereby limiting their physical movement. Given that

animals

Use synonyms

are meant to roam freely by their very nature, keeping them in captivity likely creates a devastating effect on their mental well-being and should

thus

Linking Words

be perceived as morally unacceptable.

Furthermore

Linking Words

,

zoos

Use synonyms

are often made as a business, and the

animals

Use synonyms

are frequently forced to perform shows to entertain visitors against their will. The

animals

Use synonyms

might not always have adequate rest especially when the

zoos

Use synonyms

are busy.

This

Linking Words

is because the zoo management may only focus on generating as much money as possible, even at the expense of the

animals’

welfare. In conclusion,

while

Linking Words

zoos

Use synonyms

could protect

animals

Use synonyms

from external threats and serve educational purposes, these reasons cannot justify their operation simply because holding

animals

Use synonyms

in confinement has questionable ethics. I,

therefore

Linking Words

, remain convinced that

zoos

Use synonyms

no longer be permitted to operate.
