Should we have zoos?

For:

We should still have zoos because I still think some people will still enjoy just watching the
animals. Even though there might still be arguments it is still important because over half of
the extinct animals lived longer in zoos. But if we wish to keep any real measure of
biodiversity we may lean on zoos.

Against:
We should not have zoos why because if we were to let a tiger for example (the largest cat)
go without a clue what to do it would be up for grabs by poachers. Humans should not have
the right to confine such majestic creatures like flamingos. Plus they can force a creature like
a tiger to breed with a different gender they do not no.

For:

Zoos have a type of breeding programme which helps endangered

Species like pandas, tigers and eagles. You can see exotic animals without the need of
travelling and raises awareness on environmental problems.

Against:

The first reason why zoos should be banned because is that zoos do not offer sufficient spaces
for large animals like elephants. Unless you give it a reasonable amount of space and food
they can take care of themselves.

Should we have zoos?

For:

Zoos shouldn't be banned because we need to keep fatal animals like tigers, gorillas and lions
in a cage because if we don't, they could go rouge and go on a rampage. If we don't have
zoos, people who work for them won't get paid and eventually become homeless. Animals
like tigers could breed more in zoos since they are extremely close to extinction, even the
same for kakapos, there are only 252 left In the world and there population in actually
increasing because of where they are (zoos).

Against:

Zoos should be banned because animals aren't supposed to be kept in captivity, they shouldn't
be captured and be Locked in a cage but instead be free into the wild where they belong,
animals like tigers can get distressed from being away from there natural habitat, some
animals can even die from being stressed which isn't increasing the animal population but
actually could be decreasing it.

SHOULD WE HAVE ZOOS?

Pros:

- they can protect injured animals

- they can protect endangered species

- they can be used for education trips

- protecting animal from getting extinct

- found research about animals

- some zoo keepers relay on there wage from the zoo

- some animals are put in zoo so they can breed and increased the numbers of that animal

The main points of a zoo is for research, education and recreation. breeding animals in
captivity so they don't become extinct. Zoos also work out in the wild conserving animals in
their natural habitats.

Cons:

- the animals lose there natural instincts

- zoos can teach the baby animals the wrong lessons

- zoos don't replicate animals' natural habitat

- Monkeys can live up to 40 years in the wild, but in zoos they live 25-30 years in zoo

- between 2,800 and 4,000 animals have passed away in zoos

- lack of space I zoos

- don't have freedom

Animals are slowly haunting us and are taking over our habitat

Should we have zoos?

Pros

Zoos provide animals with food and a habitat that resembles their natural habitat. It
encourages them to breed due to the amount of food they have.

Also, most zoos have educational programmes that teach children how to identify them.
Zoos help fight extinction and they protect animals from leaving the Earth forever.
Zoos preserve biodiversity (genetic and species) that might be threatened or at times
even 'extinct in the wild'.

Even when animals are never introduced to the wild, putting them under human care
can help them live longer lives then their wild counterparts.

Cons

Animals suffer in captivity due to the fact that they are away for their family, alone with
no company and treated with no care. All the cages in the world can't stop an animal
from going extinct because we need to take care of it, not store it in a zoo.

Keeping them in zoos doesn't help because even if they are healthy, they still die because
of depression. This is because they are forced to do gruesome tricks to impress the
public, but it isn't good for the animals mental wellbeing. Carnivores like polar bears,
lions, cheetahs didn't cope well with captivity because they were too used to the wild
and hunting for itself. In the zoo, the food was given to them, no hard work required.
According to researchers, the more time an animal spent in the wild, the worse it fares
in captivity. When animals are never introduced to the wild, they don't survive due to
the fact that they have never been in the wild and are soft compared to the others.

The animals in zoos suffer, they get depressed, psychologically disturbed, frustrated,
they fight and go hungry.

Should we have zoos?

Pros

- they can protect endangered animals

- protecting animal from getting extinct

- it can teach other kids about animals

- they can live more

 Zoos have helped remove animals from the endangered species list and have saved many
from extinction.

Why zoos are bad for animals:

Animals are removed from their natural habitats.

Zoos teach children the wrong lessons

Animals Are Trained to Perform Tricks

All the Cages in the World Won't Stop Animals From Going Extinct

Between 3,000 and 5,000 healthy animals are killed across

European zoos Animals suffer in zoos

Dawar

Friday 27th January

Should zoos be banned?

Propositions:

- Animals need to cope with the wild environment

- Zoos do not actually educate people as much

- Animals are usually depressed in zoos

- Zoos do not do good jobs to encourage animals to breed

- Certain animals (tigers) will die after released to the wild because of zoos
Zoos should be banned since animals cannot rely on zoos to escape starvation, habitat loss
and predators. Instead, animals should be in the wild, where they can cope with
their suitable environment. Also, zoos do not actually educate people that much, and the
human interaction is causing them to be depressed, making it difficult to breed. Lastly, when
certain animals (like tigers) were released into the wild, they quickly die due to its loss of
survival instinct.

Opposition:

- Safe from poachers

- Very slowly populating endangered species

- 80% mammals live longer in zoos

- Zoos entertain people and let people see animals before they are gone

- Helps with researching

Zoos should not be banned since animals needed a place safe from poachers. Zoos also,
although very slowly, help recover population decrease of certain animals. Simultaneously,
80% of mammals live longer in zoos, and zoos also let people see exquisite animals that may
be gone forever. And finally, zoos help researchers find ways to help the animals. All
reasons explained why zoos should not be banned.

Erick

Friday 27th January

Should we have zoos?

For: We should have zoos because the people who works there take care of the animals. We
should have zoos because people help them breed so their not endangered. We should have
zoos because zoo keepers are helping them from extinction. We should not ban zoos because
animals are in good care in zoos. We should not ban animals because children need to learn
more about these mysterious creatures. If there was no zoos animals would
be endangered from earth.

Against: We shouldn't have zoos because if animals are kept in zoos they might not know
how to take care of themselves if they get kicked out of the zoo. If animals are kept in zoos it
might be harmful because they might get kicked and don't know what to do because of being
kept in zoos. Zoos should be banned because animals might break out of there cage and kill
people. They might escape and cause a terrible disaster in the country. We shouldn't have
zoos because animals suffer in zoos.
