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

Zoos have long been controversial institutions. On one hand, critics see them as cruel environments that deprive animals of freedom;
on the other hand
Linking Words
, supporters argue that they are essential for the conservation of wild species.
This
Linking Words
essay will explore both viewpoints and provide a reasoned conclusion." The zoological garden's closing provides an advantage in many ways, as it is used for entertaining purposes, which involve torturing the creatures and taking their freedom away. Before showing them in front of people, they get strict training and are taught fun activities to attract individuals.
Additionally

, animal sanctuaries often give living beings little space, restrict natural life, cause stress, and may involve poor care; some breeding and capture hurt fauna;
this

can be seen as cruelty.
For instance

,
according to
Linking Words
the incident that happened in 2018, when a foreign breed of lion attacked the children because of the aggression and cruelty he faced for a long time, and when he got the chance, he tried to escape from the place and attack everyone on the way. On the other side, some wild places save wildlife from danger, help sick or lost wild species, and provide care when habitats are harmed; wildlife reserves can teach people about nature and support rescue and science.
Furthermore
Linking Words
, there are a lot of breeds of animals that are on the verge of extinction and are in danger from predators and others; these can be preserved in a zoo.
For example

, the Chandigarh Zoo has some rare species of birds that cannot be seen in the outside environment. These birds were

observed by our ancestors, and now only a few of them are preserved in the Chandigarh Zoo.” Consider the arguments from both aspects of
this
Linking Words
possible debate and reach a conclusion that not all wild places are the same; some of them have good care, big spaces, and
also

meet welfare standards.
Thus
Linking Words
, I believe zoos should exist only if they meet high welfare standards and contribute to animal protection and education;
otherwise

, they should close or reform.
