Zoos are inhumane and pointless. To what extent do you agree or disagree

The morality of the
zoo
has been criticized by the critics for a long period of time leading to the controversial issue debating on the topic of whether the
zoo
is considered inhumane and pointless or not. Some may agree
while
some opponents may disagree.
However
, after a thorough consideration, though there are some benefits of the
zoo
, the drawbacks of the
zoo
should not be put down by any chance.
One
of the obvious benefits of the

Nonetheless
, there are several disadvantages of the
zoo
that should be taken into account. It is undeniable that
zoos
are often viewed as the big cage for the
animals
which restricts the
animals
in a small captivity, and demolishes the natural instinct of the
animals
. The first negative aspect of the

is that it kept the

provide a room for each

which could make some

For instance
