Should Animals be kept in Zoos
They tend to live longer in zoos Animals live longer in zoos than they do in the wild they get the necessary care and food they need to live a very healthy lifestyle. Lets say if an animal was sick in the wild nine times out of ten they would die or be killed by a predator but if an animal got sick in the zoo it will have a more likely chance of survival because of vetinarians on standby.

Extinct in Wild There are many animals who are only alive because of zoos. The zoos keep the population of wild and almost extinct animals growing instead. There are very many animals that you can see today only because of zoos. Animal live much longer in a zoo than they do in the wild. Zoos should keep their animals and keep them alive.

Animals live longer When they're in good zoos. If they are out in the wild, they can dye from lack of food, droughts, predators, diseases, and natural disasters. At zoos there are veterinarians on hand, constant food, and there are no predators. A good zoo will prolong the life of an animal. So long as they're taken proper care of, animals should be kept in zoos. Posted by: Anonymous

Why animals should not be kept in zoos. It is cruel to be locked up in a cage seeing the same thing every single day. Should we let the zookeepers continue they're cruelty or should we stop this at once. Would u like to be locked up in a cage with people staring at u and invading your privacy. Posted by: Ishi

They can not live in the wild Yes, under certain circumstances. In the state in which I live, all of the animals that have come to the zoo here are because they cannot be in the wild for whatever reason. Perhaps they

    Are Zoos Good Or Good

    For many years people have debated whether zoos are bad or good. There is the debate about animal cruelty to some extent because the animals are locked up in a cage where they have no freedom. And the other one is how animals in captivity is a good cause due to the dangers that are present in the wild now in days. These two points are an endless debate in which both sides are equivalent to each other. Yet I strongly believe that animals in captivity have more chance of survival than if they were released back into the wild.…

    The Stripes Will Survive

    After I read the articles: The Stripes Will Survive by: Jacqueline Adams, and The Zoos Go Wild by Nicholas Nirgiotis and Theodore Nirgiotis I realized how important zoos are to animals. Firstly in the article “The Stripes Will Survive” by Jacqueline Adams it says “Make sure that threatened and endangered animal species don't disappear.” (Paragraph 4) There used to be one hundred thousand tigers roaming in the wild. Now about 5,000 tigers live in the wild. The zoo's breed these animals to make sure that they will survive. The breeding program works like a dating website for animals. They animals get matched by a computer then meet. (Paragraphs 3&5). My next reason is that zoos protect animals from hunters and poachers. “The World Wildlife Fund…

    Persuasive Essay On Zoos

    • 4 Pages

    Zoos are like animal insurance, preventing predators from being able to hunt them down. As some may say, zoos are cruel and harsh punishments for the poor little animals that happen to be on display, but zoos are nothing in comparison to the devastating, murderous reality of the forests. According to the “Why Zoos Are Good” article,”They will not suffer from the threat or stress of predators (and nor will they be killed in a grisly manner or eaten alive) or the irritation and pain of parasites, injuries and…

    Pros And Cons Of Zoos

    • 1026 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Zoos are like internment camps and should be shut down. Animals deserve the right to live out their lives in their natural habitat, not be the source of human entertainment. Zoos are more detrimental to animals than they are good for them, even though there are conservation efforts and educational purposes for having animals in captivity. The negative aspects far outweigh any positive effects when it comes to having animals in captivity due to poor living conditions, failure to educate, and psychological trauma.…

    Should Zoo's Be Banned

    • 584 Words

    Absolutely not. In today's world, zoos are nothing short of essential. Their main function is conservation. Without captive breeding, many endangered species would now be extinct - for example, the golden lion tamarin, red wolf and Przewalski's horse. I am not for a moment suggesting that we should stop trying to protect animals' natural habitats, but if endangered species were to become extinct in the wild (which sadly seems quite likely in the near future), zoos will have preserved them for future generations, with enough genetic diversity that the possibility for reintroduction to the wild exists. In my opinion it would be unforgivable to allow tigers, pandas and so on to become extinct because they were wiped out in the wild due to hunting, habitat loss, etc., and people did not want to see them in captivity. Would you like to have explain to your children or grandchildren that they will never see a tiger except in pictures, because you disagreed with zoos? I certainly wouldn't.…

    Even though zoos help countless wild animals, it has become fashion by some, to ignore their contribution to save wild life. A depressing fact is that 1 000 animals in South Africa, 100 000 elephants in Africa, and 100 million sharks are killed each day! It’s not just the animals living in modern zoos that benefit from the scientific knowledge and experience the zoo gives. The wildlife benefits too thanks to zoos which rescue stranded animals each year!…

    Hardly any zoos register their animals on an international species database and the majority of animals located within zoos are not part of an endangered species at all. Zoos can be more accurately depicted as collections of intriguing species rather than actual havens or homes for them. Even while situated in the best circumstances, no zoo can truly replicate wild habitats. Animals who are captive bred in zoos or otherwise typically cannot function properly or in the wild as they have not gained the experience of their wild counterparts ("Zoos: Pitiful Prisons"). Animals tend to untimely perish within zoos for having been prohibited from their natural and important actions such as flying, roaming, choosing a partner, and being with others of their own kind. The decrease in lifespans among animals located within zoos surpasses any increases zoo conservation efforts in the last…
