Some people think zoos are all cruel and should be closed down. Others, however, believe that zoos can be useful in protecting wild animals. Discuss both opinions and give your own opinion.

Just like how a coin has two sides, the debate on whether

zoos

must be present is

also

Linking Words

two-sided.

While

Linking Words

some say

zoos

are torturous to

animals

Use synonyms

, others believe that

zoos

Use synonyms

are important for protecting

animals

Use synonyms

, especially endangered

species

Use synonyms

. I unequivocally believe that

zoos

Use synonyms

must be present but must be used only during certain necessary circumstances. On the one hand,

zoos

Use synonyms

are compared to human prisons.

This

Linking Words

is because the

animals

Use synonyms

are stuck between four walls throughout their life and their movements are restricted.

Moreover

Linking Words

,

zoos

Use synonyms

have reduced interspecies and intraspecies interactions, which are prevalent in the wild

hence

Linking Words

causing distress to

species

Use synonyms

. In nature,

species

Use synonyms

are dependent on each other and are connected via numerous food webs.

Subsequently

Linking Words

, if

animals

Use synonyms

are removed from the wild, it causes an imbalance in the food web,

thus

Linking Words

affecting other

species

.

For example

Linking Words

, in 2020 when the Indian government started conserving otters, the alligator population faced a decline

due to

Linking Words

the fewer food sources available for them to consume.

On the other hand

Linking Words

,

zoos

have helped conserve threatened and critically endangered

species

such

Linking Words

as the Dodo bird and the Red Panda.

Due to

Linking Words

climate change, many

species

are finding it difficult to adapt to their changing habitat.

As a result

Linking Words

, their numbers are reducing.

Zoos

Use synonyms

have helped these

species

Use synonyms

by providing them with apt conditions necessary for their survival.

Furthermore

Linking Words

, the concept of getting killed by a predator is no longer a concern.

For instance

Linking Words

, the parrot population has increased by 50% over the past 10 years,

due to

Linking Words

captive breeding and reintroduction programs done by

zoos

Use synonyms

. In conclusion,

zoos

Use synonyms

can be a boon when used out of necessity and a bane when misused. In my opinion,

species

Use synonyms

need to be free in the wild unless they are threatened with extinction, in which case

zoos

Use synonyms

work wonders.
