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.

Since the dawn of, times wild
animals
have been kept in
zoos
all over the world.
This
is a controversial issue. At present,
zoos
are tourist attractions in many countries and need wild
animals
to attract visitors. I believe that they should not be kept in
zoos
and there should be alternative places to see them.
This
essay will discuss both sides and an opinion will be put forth. There are many good reasons to not build
zoos
in our cities. 1) First of all, god’s precious gifts need to live in their natural habitat.
Furthermore
,
zoos
are no place for wild things. If
animals
need to be cared for, they should be looked after in their natural habitat in game parks or wildlife reserves. Governments should look after the precious wild
animals
in their country and should close down
zoos
that profit from them. 2) Another valid reason to support
this
view is that people can see wild
animals
on the internet, or in books. They don’t need to visit them in cages where they are sick or dying.
Moreover
, These
zoos
try to make money from
animals
' misery and they don’t care about the
animals
' welfare. Recent research at Harvard shows that 89% of all wild
animals
die in cages. 3)
In addition
to
this
, we should allow
animals
to live in the wild. They can be healthy in their own habitat, they can hunt and have normal behaviour. They cannot do
this
in a zoo. In the future, if a man wants to see wild
animals
, we must travel to their country and see them in the wild in their environment and not ours. In a nutshell, people believe that
zoos
are good places to keep wild
animals
, I feel that we do not need
zoos
anymore and we can look at wild
animals
on the internet or travel there and we can be happy for these wild creatures.
