Some people believe that zoos are inhumane and should be closed down. Others argue that zoos play an important role in wildlife conservation. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Nowadays, we have

zoos

all around the world to preserve endangered

animals

and to the purpose of introducing these

animals

to people.

While

some people think that

zoos

are necessary to protect wildlife

animals

others believe that

this

lifestyle is not acceptable for

animals

and should not be allowed. I will discuss both viewpoints and elaborate

the

Change preposition

on the

show examples

reasons why I side with the latter opinion defending that putting

animals

in a small place for a lifetime is unacceptable. On the one hand,

zoos

might play an important role in protecting endangered species by providing them with essential conditions to survive. Since the biggest issue in the wild is difficulty to find food and water sources,

zoos

can help the

animals

by providing these basic needs.

Furthermore

, these controlled

places

might give a chance for treatment to

animals

with serious injuries and help to increase their lifetime. More than that, with controlled breeding next generations could be produced and animal genes can be preserved.

On the other hand

, removing

animals

from their natural habitats can lead to a lot of problems

such

as an imbalance in nature.

For instance

, removing one animal from the food chain can affect all other species in the food pyramid.

Therefore

, as all the natural balance would be affected negatively changing the natural system should not be that easy.

Besides

all of these, putting an animal in a very small living place can cause a lot of behavioural disorders

also

.

Consequently

, these disorders will lead to other mental and physical conditions. In conclusion, there are some believers that menageries are necessary to keep wild

animals

alive and protect their generations for long years

whereas

others argue that

zoos

are inhumane

places

for

animals

as they are way smaller than

animals

need and change balance of the nature. I believe animal welfare is more important than everything and the protection of endangered species can be done without changing their natural habitats. I opine

zoos

have gone out of their purpose and have become touristic

places

only.

Therefore

, as a veterinarian, I believe as these conditions cause more problems than help,

zoos

are unacceptable

places

for

animals

.
