Zoo Argument
Zoos are a popular house for animals. People can see many kinds of animals at zoos. However zoos are more harmful than good for animals. There are some causes to this such as bad environment for animals and small enclosures. One of the reasons for the bad effects of zoos is a loss of real conservation.

So they work to make money from the animals. They always open their zoos and welcome the visitors who visit to look at the animals or for entertainment such as dolphin shows.

This high level of stress and boredom of the animals can lead to illness. However modern well managed zoos want to educate us about the issues like animal conservation. The zoo carries out research to improve our understanding of animal behavior. If we understand the animals better we can
