Some people say that it is absolutely unfair to keep animals in zoos, whereas others do not agree. They believe that zoos are not really bad places for animals. 

soch 001 002

I think that it is not unfair to keep animals in zoos. First of all, they are well protected from their natural enemies there. Nobody attacks and kills them as it might be in a wild nature. Second, I guess, they do not really care where they live if they get what they need. Usually they are well-fed and taken care of. Many of them can live as comfortable in zoos as they can in a wild nature.

At the same time there are people who say that many animals suffer from bad conditions in zoos. Being cut off from wild nature and the possibility to hunt to be themselves, they do not feel happy.

soch 001 004

In my opinion these people have a point. Some animals need more space and some must hunt. Nevertheless, many animals have already been born in zoos so they do not really suffer without hunting in the wild.

In conclusion, I would like to say that zoos are a good place for keeping animals. To my mind the main point is how well the animals are kept, not where they are kept. Good zoos provide animals with everything they need so they will live happily there. Bad zoos violate many living condition needs of their animals and make the lives of these poor creatures miserable. The situation in such bad zoos should be changed as soon as possible.

or

In conclusionI would like to say that there are opposing views on this issue. At first sight keeping animals in zoos looks cruel but in actual fact the main point is how well the animals are kept, not where they are kept. Thus, I support the idea of zoos and good conditions for animals there.

Some people believe that it is normal to keep animals in zoos, whereas others think that it is one of the worst things that we can do to animals.

soch 001 002

Personally, I think that there is nothing bad in keeping animals in zoos. First of all, there are a lot of people in zoos who take care of the wild animals. For example, there are many veterinarian doctors and medical workers who can help animals if they get sick. Secondly, in such places animals do not have natural enemies that can eat them. Animals such as rabbits and deer feel more comfortable and protected there. The conditions of keeping animals are really good nowadays. They have everything they need to feel protected and safe.

At the same time there are people who say that keeping wild animals in cages is unfair and horrible. They are convinced that these animals must live in forests and fields where they really belong.

soch 001 003

I cannot agree with the opinion mentioned above for a particular reason. In my opinion, there are a lot of animals that are born in zoos and are used to living with people. They would die “in the wild” because they do not know how to hunt and take care of themselves.

soch 001 005

In conclusion, I would like to say that there are many ways of protecting wild animals and zoos are not the last one in this list. They appear happy to live in zoos or natural parks that is why it is quite a fair way of treating animals, I guess.
