Animals in zoos. What’s your opinion? Is
it fair?
There are a lot of zoos in the world and millions of people
visit them every year. But are zoos harmful or helpful to animals, which are
caged there?
I strongly believe that we should not keep animals in zoos
because captivity is not natural for them and it is a constant stress to a wild
animal. Keeping animals in zoos harms them by denying them freedom of movement
and association. What is more, zoos are like prisons for animals as they live
in small cages and do not get necessary food. In addition, animals become very
aggressive and unpredictable as they get older and often attack zoo keepers and
other people.
However, most people think that zoos help endangered species
survive. But this is not true because most rare animals are extremely difficult
to breed in captivity. Besides, in zoos, it is almost impossible to meet the
animals’ natural needs. Another argument for keeping animals in zoos is that
people learn something new about these animals. Actually, zoos do not teach us
much because animals do not act the way they would in the wild. I think we can
learn more about animals by watching wildlife programs on TV.
In conclusion, I would argue that zoos do not seem to help
endangered species and keeping animals behind bars only for the sake of our entertainment
is not quite fair. In my opinion, people must create nature reserves, where
wild animals will be able to live in their natural environment.
endangered species –
виды, находящиеся под угрозой вымирания
captivity
– неволя
wildlife
– дикая жизнь
harmful
