Should Animals Be Kept in Zoos?
Zoos are the places where animals are kept. Some people argue that animals shall not be kept in zoos as they deserve freedom. Zoos cannot provide them with enough space, therefore, they cannot run around so as to grow up freely.
On the other hand, some people argue that animals should be kept in zoos. Nowadays, forests and mountains have been cut down by people. If we leave animals alone, they might have nowhere to find food and nowhere to live. It is for the sake of the animals themselves that we keep them in the zoos.

Nowadays, there is an ongoing heated discussion among people on the topic whether wild animals should be kept in zoos, and there is no common consensus among people on it. Some people believe that zoos can protect them from various dangers while others argue that it is inhumane to confine animals in such man-made environment. As far as I am concerned, I insist that animals should live in the wild instead of the so-called zoos.
I will illustrate my viewpoint in three aspects. First of all, animals kept in zoos will reduce their wild nature. Without fierce competition, lots of animals, such as tigers and lions, become considerably mild. It seems that they have become the domesticated pets instead of the king of animals! Secondly, animals kept in zoos do not have access to the real nature, thus they have lost some of their living skills, which may make them unfitted to the natural environment and speed their extinction. What’s more, animals kept in the zoos may destroy the balance of nature. As we all know, the wild animal is part of the ecosphere; therefore, keeping them in the zoos means that the ecosphere is to be changed, which may affect the balance of nature severely and even bring disasters in the near future.
To sum up, zoos are actually the prisons of wild animals and more freedom should be given to those animals to help them live longer and happier.
