Some people think that 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.
While some people believe that zoos play an important role in wild animals, others
feel that keeping animals locked up in such places is cruel and unnecessary. I
strongly believe that animals should not be kept in zoos.
On the one hand, zoological gardens are beneficial to preserve wild animals from
environmental and other threats. These days, due to urbanization, forests are
destroyed for modern infrastructures like factories or houses. They can not only
protect these animals from predators and poachers but also
help them breed. Scientists will operate captive breeding programs so that they
can increase the number of individuals of these species to avoid them becoming
extinct
On the other hand, animals should not be kept in zoos. Firstly, animals in zoos will
lose their wildlife skill because the food is served every day without hunting and
fighting. Secondly, in many zoos, animals are being mistreated as they are often
provided with insufficient food and medical care, which has so far caused many
animals to die because of starvation and diseases. Moreover, a wild environment is
the best condition for animal growth. Scientists prove that animals have their
temperature, atmosphere, and nutrition for biological systems and other activities
like animals' ability to bear.
In conclusion, though some zoos may have some positive impacts on the
conservation of certain animal species, overall, I think they are cruel places and do
more harm than good.
