WE ALL HAVE OPINIONS, BUT CAN YOU BACK THEM UP? Let’s see…
Have you ever thought about the lifestyle and the future of the animals, whether they should have them live with us on Earth or not? “Animals have few rights, but they have every right to be here.” (Bigcat Rescue) A way to keep the animals safe is by having zoos. Having Zoos means to keep the animals alive and to prevent their future from being impacted where they may no longer live in this world. Zoos are there to not only entertain people by their unique characteristics, but zoos also provide utmost care to the animals to ensure that the animals will continue to survive. A reason why some people disagree on having zoos is because they think that the zoo workers are taking

They point to animal species having their protection from their natural habitat being taken away, then they’re either being kept in zoos, or sold as pets. However, as valid as the following argument may seem, the argument has error. It’s definitely not the case as zoo keepers only bring in animals that were at risk of dying. For example, the animal could be critically injured, the young could be chased by a predator, the animal could almost be poached or hunted, etc. The Milwaukee County Zoo brings in new animals by talking to other zoos and bring animals that are in need of being taken care of, that needs to be healed, etc. After a promotion, many zoo workers have a responsibility of taking care of a certain animal den and care for the animals. There are severe consequences if the job is either done wrong, or if the zoo worker annihilates the animals. By taking a look at the evidence as to how the opponents’ argument has error, this is how the evidence supports the topic of having zoos. Many people may believe that the zoo workers randomly take animals away from their natural habitat and keep them in the zoo, but as per the reasons why the zoos can keep the animals safe, we can see that the opponents’ argument doesn’t match up to what the zoos actually do with the …show more content…
The opponents to the topic, on the other hand, believe that we should not have zoos because the zoo workers separate the animals from their natural environment and keep them in a smaller den. To support their argument, the opponents point out to the protection of the animals they could’ve got by staying in their natural habit. However, since most of the animals can’t get the medication they need, most of these species are close to extinction, and they could be poached or hunted at any second, the argument has error and the opponents are wrong. Zoo workers and animal experts say that the safety and the future of the animal species depend on us. Therefore, the zoos can take care of the animals with utmost care and provide the animals the safety that they need to get. Now is the perfect opportunity to help save the animals and protect them with the care they need. This is the only time we can protect the animals from them dying out. After all, aren’t the lives of the animals just as important as our
As is written in the article, “He says zoos play a major role in educating people about animals and promoting wildlife conservation.” Ultimately, what the person is trying to clarify is how zoos play a vital role in our associations to conserve flora and fauna. Conjointly, without zoos, people will waste the wildlife and continue to pollute the earth. Without zoos, animal life would cease to exist. You may go against the grain and consider that zoos must be banned for the fact that they are very deadly to the environment. Nevertheless, I still hold my conviction that zoos are a must. At length, zoos persuade the public to conserve the
One of the most fun, visually amazing functions to visit are zoo's. Growing up as a kid going to the zoo was so much fun and basically guaranteed a great day out. People have been complaining and questioning the role of zoo's for a long time now. Some claim that it actually kills the animals off faster. Others claim that zoo's actually help protect and preserve the lives of these animals. Only one can make a reasonable argument by studying sources, and finding out statistics. Based off of the articles, "The Stripes Will Survive", "The Zoos Go Wild", and "Our Beautiful Macaws and Why They Need Enrichment", we can truly get in-depth analysis about the role zoo's play.
Zoos have always been criticized because some claim that animals are being abused and mistreated due to the lack and care of certain zoos. However, zoos actually help many animals with research and are critically important for conservation purposes. People need to understand that zoos have programs that breed endangered animals as well as rescue programs for exotic animals that people are no longer able to support. Also, they have many hands on activities that allow people to get more connected to animals. In addition, zoos do not only focus on animals. They focus on environmental problems/concerns as well. Zoos help us stay educated about environmental impacts and animal care.
Some people go to zoos to see the wild animals, but that’s not all that they are for. People in groups such as PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) may think that zoos cannot provide the needs to wild animals as the wild can. Zoos help animals. They have improved, helping to repopulate species and save animals in the wild.
Zoos may seem fun to visit and exciting to see the animals; but what you don’t see is the suffering and depression that lies in these helpless creatures. There are many arguments whether or not zoos are good or bad, and if they should be removed or kept. Several think that zoos should be abolished or at least very much improved, due to animal cruelty. While, others want zoos to stay because it is beneficial for the animals and people. I strongly believe that zoos aren’t good for both the public and animals for numerous reasons.
Even though opponents, like PETA, claim that animals are not happy in the zoo and that their cages and conditions are dirty and unhealthy, both physically and psychologically (Morgan.n.d.). In fact animal breeder will be the care and feeding well and will provide professional medical equipment and scientific nutritious meals, not only that, the zoo also offers a good protection for many endangered animals, endangered animals were killed to prevent poachers. According “How Do Zoos Help Endangered Animals” depicted that dozens of zoos participate in the Association of Zoos and Aquarium’s (AZA’s) Species Survival Plan (SSP)
Have you ever been to the zoo? Don't you love to see all of the beautiful and exotic animals? I always loved seeing all the different reptiles, even though I’m terrified of snakes. Whenever I visit zoos, always in the back of my mind, I would think that this is wrong. Keeping animals locked up with no freedom whats-so-ever. Animals should be out in the wild, running free, and being themselves. They should not be caged up or should they be forced to perform for tricks just to prove that they can be taught to something for our our amusement. This is why I think all zoos should be shut down. If a person wants to see an exotic animal they should visit the animal’s habitat.
In my opinion I think there should not be zoos. And they have more food in the wildlife and they are free in the wildlife and not in a small area. they can get sick in the zoo, in wildlife they can live with fresh air and they can’t get that sick in the wildlife. There should not be any zoos because animals can die.
Some associations are claiming that zoos should be banned because it’s having negative impact on the animals. They reject the idea that zoos are made to preserve some species from extinction. Their argument is that if zoos were really made for that solely purpose then the species in the zoos will not be kept for public viewing. These associations propose
Why? One reason why is because they will suffer from loneliness. A second reason why is because they will die. A third reason why animals should not be kept in zoos is because they will not know how to survive in the wild once they are let free. I object to keeping animals in zoos.
Some people agree that animals should be kept in the zoo. They said it would be safer for the animals and they won’t be extinct. The amount of possibilities of them dying, shot by hunters or any other reason, still higher than the chances of their survival. Food and shelter are provided, medicine, and their breeding is being controlled. And many of the wild animals in zoos are ones that are on the endangered list as their amounts are rapidly diminishing. Letting them loose and returning them to the wild is not necessarily a safe option. (Mylot, 2007) In fact, zoo can be one of the educational studies for children and people who are interested with animals. Zoo is the only place that we can have an opportunity to see animal’s life really close and sometimes we can touch them. Zoos also provide lots of information about certain animals, children can have chance to get out of the classroom and learn so they can see natural beauty from different species of animals. Even children can see them from discovery channel but that’s really different if you see animal in real world, for an example, if you see crocodile, snake or shark in the movie, maybe you won’t afraid than you see the real one. According to Tudge, (1992, p.56) Zoos are the place where people can study animals and their habitat, even scientist don’t need to go
Are zoos actually doing us any good? By enclosing animals are we making them more endangered than before? Can we put an end to it? Zoos today are both a benefit and a hindrance to the animal society. By providing them with health care and food, we could be taking away their instincts as a wild animal. Although zoos can be beneficial, we should limit zoo activity because, zoos can change the behavior of an animal, breeding issues may occur, and the animals may not be able to return to the wild.
there is a several reasons why people agree with holding animals in zoos , it can extend the animal's life by providing a better care and food , it can be argued that the zoo is a safer place for animals than the forests , it should be taken in to account that animals live longer and a more peaceful life in zoos .
In today’s world, having zoos in today's culture is bad. It is a major problem and it should be considered illegal. Have you ever been scrolling on twitter and see one of those sad videos about animal abuse or someone treating an animal bad and it makes your heart throb? Well that is what it is like for animals in zoos everyday. The zookeeper's keep this a secret because they do not want humans to see the negative effects of zoos. The reasons it should be illegal is animals main cause of depression is the fact that they are in zoos, zookeepers do not care about the animals health and finally animals mainly die in zoos. If this was happening to a human, would you be okay with it? Having zoos is allowing the companies to make money, which again, is all they care about. Zoos are facilities where animals are abused. We just do not see it. Zoos are bad.
For you, zoos might be homes for animals or simply a place you could visit. But for the animals, it’s more like a prison. Making animals suffer in the cage for their whole life ignores animal rights. They suffered both mentally and physically. Animals are often imprisoned in small, enclosure spaces for their whole life. This could cause two problems. First, the life in wild couldn’t be simulated. Animal's natural abilities would disappear. So a species couldn’t survive if they have the opportunity to return to the wild. Second, wild animals usually are high active animals. In the wild,
