Should
Zoos be Banned?
There are many different
types of animals in the world, big or small, tall or short. Zoos are a place
that is safe to learn about the animals and what kind of things they eat and what
they need to be taking care with. There is also a risk of the animals causing a
stampede if their enclosure isn't strong enough.
Keeping animals in an
area is taking the animal away from it’s natural habitat and also taking them
away from family. If zoos are teaching children and students anything, they are
saying imprisoning animals can be justified. Some zoo keepers might want to
send the animals back to the wild but the animals might not remember their home
in the wild and they probably won't remember the family they lived with.
If people want the
animals to be in the wild, it will mean animals might get eaten, however in a
zoo they are safe and protected. Depending on the zoo, the animals never get
bored and they are well cared for and get healthy food to eat. Zoos hep
endangered animals that are hurt, almost being eaten or just help prevent
extinction.
Zookeepers do not have
the right to breed animals even though they are almost extinct. Baby animals
bring in visitors and money but this could lead to over population. Surplus
animals are not only sold to other zoos they are sold to anyone who can care
for them. Otherwise surplus animals are just killed.
