Публикация: Animals in the Zoo.
Автор: Исмаилова Лариса Александровна
Do you think it’s fair to keep animals in Zoos?There are a lot of zoos in the world and millions of people visit them every year. But still there is a heated debate whether such places are harmful or helpful to animals which are caged. 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 wild species. Keeping animals in zoological gardens harms them by denying them freedom of movement and communication. 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. Another argument for keeping animals in zoos is that humans learn something new about these animals.But this is not true. Firstly, most rare animals are extremely difficult to breed in captivity. Besides, in zoos, it is almost impossible to meet the animals’ natural needs. 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.
