Some people say that zoos should be banned for being cruel towards the animals while others say they should be continued for protecting rare animals. Discuss both your views and give your opinion.

Some people argue that

zoos

are harmful and should be eliminated,

while

others believe that

zoos

are important for protecting species.

Although

zoos

can play a role in saving

animals

, I believe that keeping

animals

in confined spaces with limited room for movement is unpleasant and unethical. On the one hand,

zoos

are excellent places for protecting endangered

animals

. Many wild

animals

are becoming increasingly rare in nature, and numerous poachers hunt them for profit in dark markets.

Therefore

,

zoos

can be a clever solution for conservation.

For example

, snow leopards in southeastern Kazakhstan were on the brink of extinction, but the government of Almaty took some of these

animals

and protected them in

zoos

. Of course, their population is not large but

this

effort has helped prevent their complete disappearance.

On the other hand

,

zoos

often provide limited and cramped spaces for

animals

.

This

confinement can prevent them from experiencing positive emotions and can lead to stress and depression.

For instance

, in China, a panda named Hoo Zai lived in a zoo from birth. When the zoo workers decided to release him into the wild, they found that the panda was much happier and healthier after a few months in the natural forest compared to his time in the zoo. In conclusion,

while

zoos

can protect

animals

from immediate dangers, their mental well-being and the preservation of their natural behaviour and essence are more important. It is recommended that we consider

animals

' freedom and prioritize their well-being in the future.
