Task 2: Some people think that zoos are cruel and should be closed down. Others, however, believe that zoos can be useful in protecting wild animals. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Zoos are the places where animals are kept. It is thought by some people that zoos are merciless and should be closed, whereas other people contradict and assert that zoos are always beneficial to protect wild animals. I will discuss both views and give my opinion in the conclusion.
On the one hand, first and foremost there are two main reasons why zoos are considered heinous places and should be closed or banned. Firstly, zoos are often aimed to entertain people and earn money from them, which means that zoos held animals not because of responsibility or take care but because of making profits.
Secondly, many zoos limit the freedom of their animal by providing poor quality environments and facilities. This prevents animals from doing daily activities the same way as they do in their habitat which is likely to make them go aggressive and violent. So it is asserted that zoos are cruel and should be closed down.
On the other hand, some people believe that zoos play important part in preventing animals from extinction. Nowadays, many people hunting several animals, which is because their body parts are seen as luxury items and status symbols and as well as other purpose of doing that is earning more money. For example, some animals are the level of the extinction. In wild area, people kill these animal in order to sell them in the market for their monetary gain. That is why some people argue that in the zoos these animals are safe and secure compare to the nature.
In conclusion, although different people believe in different views but in my personal belief, zoos are beneficial as well as useful for protecting the animals who are at the verge of extinction.
