Some people think that zoos are cruel and should be closed down. Others, however, believe that zoos can be useful in protecting wild animals.

In recent years, a crucial debate related to the presence of

zoos

in urban areas has sparked among communities. Whilst some believe that these artificial environments are cruel and not ethical, others contain that they are fundamental to protecting endangered species.

This

essay will examine each view by considering the obvious benefits and some downsides of

this

practice. It is irrefutable that

zoos

have several benefits, some of which will be discussed below.

To conclude

, in spite of these issues, like exposing animals for pleasure and how they are obtained, if a zoo fulfils its requirement and is ethically correct, as far as I am concerned, the benefits of saving species in danger of extinction and helping them during their rehabilitation path outweigh any downsides.
