Some people believe that it is wrong to keep animals in zoos, while others think that zoos are both entertaining and ecologically important. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In today’s modern society, it is considered by some people that holding

animals

in

zoos

is not appropriate

while

others say that

zoos

provide both entertainment and ecological value.

While

zoos

can bring certain benefits, I am firmly convinced that it is more appropriate for

animals

to live in the wild. On the one hand, there are some reasons why

animals

may be kept in

zoos

. The main reason for

this

is that

zoos

can help to protect endangered species that are on the verge of extinction.

This

is mainly because scientists can maintain the breed of endangered species by helping them reproduce.

As a result

, the population of these species will be maintained so that they will not become extinct.

For example

, in China, pandas are usually kept in

zoos

where they are taken care of carefully.

On the other hand

, it is my firm belief that it is unethical to keep

animals

in

zoos

because of some reasons.

To begin

with,

animals

can lose their instinct for hunting and fighting if kept in

zoos

for a long time.

As a result

, when they are released to the wild, it may be hard for them to survive in the harsh environment.

For instance

, when living in

zoos

, a lot of

animals

are fed by zookeepers, so they cannot hunt anymore.

Moreover

, there are some organizations that just focus on profit rather than protecting

animals

.

In other words

, some zoological parks are not established for saving

animals

, but for creating income.

Consequently

, when

animals

cannot be used for profit, these organizations may eliminate them. In conclusion,

although

zoos

might help with saving endangered

animals

, I personally believe that

zoos

may be detrimental since/because they can cause the loss of

animals

’ instincts and can be used to generate income.
