Some people think that wild animals should not be kept in zoos. Others believe that there are good reasons for having zoos. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
It is often believed by a certain number of individuals that wildlife creatures should not be placed in
zoos
while
others have thought that zoos
are good for keeping wild animals
. In my opinion, I believe that animals
should not be kept in a man-made environment
like zoos
.
The individuals who believe that zoos
are necessary for wild animals
have their own reasons. One of the major reasons is that zoos
are required to protect endangered species
. In other words
, species
of some animals
are going to be distinct in coming years, on the contrary
, it is crucial to save them and zoos
are the best options to protect their lives. For instance
, according to
a survey conducted in India, the white tiger is the most endangered species
and only five tigers were found alive in 2022. That’s why, the Government of India decided to bring them to zoos
to save the future generation of these white tigers. As a result
, it can be said that keeping endangered species
in zoos
is a good notion.
However
, I strongly feel that animals
should not be kept in zoos
because providing them with an artificial environment
can affect their behaviour badly. To elaborate, in zoos
, animals
are provided with a man-made environment
like they are locked in cages and fixed time periods for their food which is completely different from their natural habitats. And this
can make them sad and aggressive. To exemplify, research conducted in the USA (United States of America) has shown that a huge change was found in monkeys, more aggressive than those who were living in the natural environment
. Thus
, animals
should not be kept in zoos
.
In conclusion, although
both opinions have valid points, I strictly believe that zoos
are not good for keeping animals
captive and also
other ways can be found to save endangered species
