XY‚ I have recently read your letter about zoos which are out-of-date and where the animal keepers treat the animals cruel. I think the article talked about only the zoos’ bad side which is very sad but I’m sure that we can find a lot of zoos which shows us the opposite. In my opinion the zoos can be educational because they keep exotic animals which most of us couldn’t see in their natural environment in Asia or Africa. To visit a good zoo is our only opportunity to get to know some wonderful

Zoos are inhumane‚ some of the reasoning for this is because the animals become stressed in captivity. The noises and‚ on occasion‚ anything being thrown into the enclosure can stress them and force them into a depression.

Animals are happier in zoos then in the wild. This truth about animals eludes the public‚ and consequently‚ has caused society to develop a negative attitude towards wild life in captivity.
