People have different views about the necessity of the existence of
zoos
Use synonyms
.
Although
Linking Words
I accept that
zoos
Use synonyms
are brutal for wildlife and should be shut down, I partly agree with
this
Linking Words
idea and I will outline the reasons in the following essays. There are several reasons why it could be argued that
zoos
Use synonyms
should not exist.
Firstly
Linking Words
, wild
animals
Use synonyms
have the right to live in natural habitats. In captivity,
animals
Use synonyms
can not perform their natural behaviour and
this
Linking Words
may lead to stress and behavioural problems.
For instance
Linking Words
, there were cases that
animals
Use synonyms
harmed themselves and even tried committing suicide.
Secondly
Linking Words
, some
zoos
Use synonyms
were established for profit
instead
Linking Words
of educational purposes. These zoo owners do not take
animals
Use synonyms
' interests into first consideration.
Therefore
Linking Words
, wildlife may not be treated well in both physical and mental aspects.
However
Linking Words
, I would agree with those who believe
zoos
Use synonyms
are beneficial to society.
Zoos
Use synonyms
protect endangered species so that they will not die out in the wild.
For example
Linking Words
, pandas can only live under strict environmental conditions and may not possibly survive if it had not been for
zoos
Use synonyms
.
Moreover
Linking Words
,
zoos
Use synonyms
provide good educational opportunities for people to observe wildlife at a short distance. Without
zoos
Use synonyms
, people may not have the chance to look at
animals
Use synonyms
so closely and may not gain related knowledge about
animals
Use synonyms
. In conclusion, 
while
Linking Words
some
zoos
Use synonyms
are undoubtedly negative towards
animals
Use synonyms
, many other
zoos
Use synonyms
are doing their best to preserve rare
animals
Use synonyms
. Both sides of the argument have merits,
nevertheless
Linking Words
, I believe the existence of
zoos
Use synonyms
is necessary.
