should animals be kept in zoos
S3ANgan Chui Kei Kenneth (24)Should animals be kept in zoos?The zoo is a place where many people like to go at weekends. In this place, we can see a wide variety of animals. Some think that it is not good for us to keep animals at zoos, but others think that there are advantages of this act. Let us look at some of the arguments.An advantage of keeping animals in zoos is that it is educational. When visitors see the kept animals, they can obtain knowledge about the species through observation of their behaviour. Children who are brought there can learn about different animals and see the beauty of them. This can help them develop interest and love towards nature.It is also said that keeping animals in zoos can help save the animals. Some species are facing extinction due to many reasons, and zoos can increase the number of them by breeding them. This is a way to conserve nature.While there are advantages of keeping animals at zoos, disadvantages are also present.Something people dislike about is that it is cruel and inhumane to keep animals. Animals in zoos are trapped in a small area and they have lost their freedom. Upon losing freedom they will start feeling uncomfortable and will walk in circles. Their unhealthy mood will start to influence their body health, causing different kinds of sickness. Some think that it is a torture for animals.Another bad thing is that the animals being kept will suffer from a change of nature. Animals should obtain food by themselves, but in zoos the staff give them foods ready to be eaten. Animals should encounter enemies, but in zoos there are none. As time goes by, their nature will change and their wild side will disappear. It is just like the change of wild boars to domesticated pigs. We cannot see the natural behaviour of them again.There are many advantages and disadvantages of keeping animals in zoos, but I think the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Therefore, I think it is a better choice to let animals live in the wild rather than trapping them in zoos.
