Zoos are not truly helping or saving wild animals as they claim. Rather, zoos are harming animals by keeping them in confined, unnatural enclosures that cause stress, anxiety, and separation of family ties. While some zoos try to provide good care, the fundamental issue is that zoos deprive animals of their rights and natural habitats for human entertainment and profit. Incidents at zoos show that captivity causes animals great mental anguish and can lead them to attack humans. Ultimately, zoos exist primarily for recreation rather than education, and depriving wild animals of freedom for this purpose is unethical.

Zoos are internment camps for animals and should be shut down.
Introduction
Zoos are public parks, which keep animals, for the reasons of recreation or training. But,
what is truly happening? Zoos are humankind's recreation of, what they now call a habitation.
They are indeed cages intended to make life relax on the faces looking in and not on what's
living confidential them. I totally agree with the message asked to. Zoos assert that they are
saving the lives of wild animals, but in fact, they are endangering species. Still, they are harming
these animals instead of saving them. Those humans who are working to save the wild lives in
zoos, their life is in danger (Coetzee, Pp., 111-166).
Body
Petting zoos, Roadside zoos, and littler animal exhibitors incline to save animals in little
cages. Occasionally, desolate concrete and iron bars make feel to tiger and bear that they have to
pass their whole lives inside these bars. Large zoos attempt to separate themselves from these
operations by expressing, how well the animals are dealt with, yet the issue is not how well the
animals are dealt with, but whether we have a privilege to limit them for our entertainment.
Animals inside the iron bars experience the ill effects of anxiety, fatigue and control. Family ties
are separated when animals are sold or exchanged with different zoos. Child animals may grab

the attention of visitors and money; however, this motivates to breed new infant animals that
direct overpopulation. Extra animals are sold to different zoos, as well as to bazaars, canned
hunting offices and for slaughter purposes (Lindburg &Donald, Pp., 433-448).
Analysts found that elephants in zoos live for a long time contrasted with elephants in the
wild that live for a long time. Asian Elephant named as Ned took birth at a certified zoo, later
moved from a tyrannical trainer and lastly sent to a sanctuary. The enthusiastic symptoms on
animals are not sufficiently terrible, there are physical torments delivered on more rare animals.
In some immoral zoos on the earth, pulled out the teeth of tigers and bears are fastened through
the nose so that visitors should feel safe and take photographs. At the end of the day, our
entertainment is based on the wild animals fundamental rights.
Do you think that the natural habitats of these animals are simulated? I never heard about
wild bears that they are tied one another up in order to take photographs. This is cruelty to put
these animals in trouble by pulling out their teeth, which create difficulty for them while eating.
This thusly could prompt ailing health and demise. How is this any superior to anything living in
nature? In addition, expelling people from the wild will further endanger the wild populace in
light of the fact that the remaining people will have more trouble-discovering mates.
We may be keeping these animals for entertainment and cash; however, we are turning
into the adversaries of these animals and taking a chance to lives of our own species. Only two
years prior in October, a female elephant at Moscow Zoo slaughtered, it's trainer with a thrill
because of apprehension while being moved into a truck. Another occurrence included a tiger
that had gotten away from its confine and assaulted two guests of the zoo; the same tiger had
assaulted a zoo manager the earlier year (Westley; Frances & Harrie Vredenburg, Pp., 17-30).

The tiger was then, shot to death in the wake of being found. Animals from zoos may bring about
death and wounds, however, that is because of we give them pain and hunger. It is an endless
circle. These animals are wild animals, and humorously the disappointment brought about by
their captivity has made them fabulous. They experience huge anxiety as their regular
developments are constrained by the limits of the zoo. What's more, the miserable the truth is
that regardless of how great the offices of a zoo are, animals are sure to endure (WickinsDrailov & Dita, Pp., 27-36).
Conclusion
At last, it is said, that Zoos exist to instruct individuals. Individuals do not visit zoos for
instructive purposes. It is only a method for excitement, for them. If individuals get used to
watching animals in zoos, a profound situation considered zoos a perfect advert for animals. It is
watched that guests tend to mistreat animals by throwing requests or yelling at them; such sort of
foolish conduct by visitors negatively affects animals. Such kind of misuse can also be fatal. As
found in the past passage, tigers and lions are desirable end of such kinds of misuse. Most of the
informative advantages of zoos are not even took a gander at. Consider it, how frequently have
you ceased to examine one of those little plaques? We are in a couple meters away, tittering at a
few monkeys through their ordure at one another. It is inappropriate to instruct eras that should
be confined, we are nature. So taking a glance at zoos now, stripping without all the false
positives. They make a case for, it is anything but difficult to see that they are just "internment
camps for animals and ought to be closed down.
