Suggested Answer Key
Most children visit the zoo with their parents at some time or other and such visits are considered to be both entertaining and educational. In my view, though, keeping animals in zoos should not be allowed.
Firstly, zoos are very different from an animal’s natural environment. The small concrete cages in which wild animals are often kept remind you of prisons rather than homes, as there is no space or freedom for the animals to move around.
Secondly, as a result of being kept in captivity, animals’ behaviour can change. They develop odd habits such as pacing up and down or they may even become unusually aggressive. Many animals have difficulty having babies, too.
Nevertheless, some people argue that zoos protect many animals from becoming extinct. As natural habitats are being destroyed by deforestation, for example, animals are finding it difficult to survive in the wild. In zoos, however, they receive food, shelter and medical care.
All in all, I believe that zoos should be banned because they are unnatural for the animals and restrict their freedom. Instead, I am in favour of wildlife parks, where animals can live in an area which is more similar to their natural habitat.
