Should Animals be Kept in the zoo?

Should Animals be Kept in the zoos? A zoo is a place where animals are kept and displayed to the public, and in which they may also breed. Have you ever been to a zoo? Because we have zoos, we can go there to see wild animals, such as tigers, giraffes, elephants, koalas, and so on. Having zoos is convenient for us to see wild animals. If we don’t have zoos, we want to see wild animals, we need to go to forests. Although zoos probably are not a good idea to treat them, I still agree that we should keep animals in the zoos.
First of all, we give protection for endangered species. Zoos help animals from being extinct. There are approximately a hundred million wild animals, and about twenty thousand species that die every year. Wild animals are in great danger from nature, diseases and worsening environment. At zoos there are veterinarians on hand, constant food, and there are no predators. So animals are safe in the zoos, which mean they cannot be hurt in their cages. They don’t need to worry about other animals will kill them. And they also don’t worry about food. Animals can always eat in the zoos, while they may be starving in nature. Animals in wild need to find their food and don’t know when is the next meal. Zoos will extend the life of animals. So long as they're taken well care of. The second reason why I agree that we should keep animals in the zoos. Because zoos provide educational material, it gives everyone a chance to know animals’ lifestyle, instead of learning from books. For the education of children, zoos provide education and conservation. Children are taught about the value of endangered animals so that they understand the importance of conservation when they visit. They will learn by having a close encounter with animals. They can see, listen, smell or even touch the animals. This cannot be done by watching television. So zoos are great place for children to learn about conservation of wild animals.
