Some people think that zoos are cruel, and all the zoos should be closed. However, other people think that zoos are useful to protect rare animals. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Spending a day in a zoo has ever been an educating activity and if not, fun is there always. There is no shred of doubt that zoos’ efforts in serving educational and recreational purposes are quite admirable. Despite that, some individuals believe that they should be shut down due to non-negotiable cruelty to the animals. Some are also against it; say still they are useful to protect rare animals. This essay intends to analyse both perspectives. I personally with the former view.

On the one hand, to bolster the first view several reasons can be presented as follows. To commence with, often beasts from birth are kept in a small fenced area where they're not allowed to move out. The food serves as a ready-made meal and no worries of prey to fight hunger. Due to this service wild animals who are meant to be skilled hunters lose their instinct to do so. For example, a National geographic has broadcasted one case study of an eagle kept in captivity from the early age of life. The male bird was rescued from the forest with a damaged leg and treated well. At a young age, he was allowed to get his freedom back, but he had forgotten to fly. In addition to these, many zoos are not well funded, and they are not able to manage a proper diet for all of them. As a result, they had to survive from deficiencies or might die from starvation.

On the contrary, there are a plethora of reasons, why some denizens are on to save zoos. To embark with, the vivarium is the place who allegedly responsible for taking care of species that are on the verge of extinction. Most of them have achieved that. Furthermore, they provide information about domestic and wild creatures that might be not appealing to explore on own side. The best thing about that is at a very reasonable price and comfort with security. Hence, it is also a fun task to go there and learn.

To sum up and offer my position, I would state that zoos had served a vital role in protecting endangered species from predators. Despite that, there should be more open areas to keep animals safe like wildlife parks. These animals are not only allowed to move freely there but also stay in their very home - nature.
