Prompt: The topic of zoos for animals is very controversial.

Some people believe that


all zoos should be abolished because they imprison animals. Others argue that zoos are
positive because they raise awareness about endangered animals and provide opportunities
for people to appreciate creatures they otherwise wouldn't encounter. Write an essay in
which you argue for or against zoos. Use specific details and evidence to support your
viewpoint.

Have you ever enjoyed a trip to a zoo, but wondered whether it is acceptable for humans
to keep so many exotic animals in captivity? You are not alone. Many people ponder the fate of
zoo animals and feel conflicted about the very existence of zoos. However, there is no reason to
worry. There are many zoos around the world that provide the highest level of care and
cleanliness for their animal residents. In fact, animals in zoos often experience far healthier lives
than they would in the wild due to the access to medical care. Zoos provide opportunities for
people of all ages to view and connect with animal life they would otherwise not encounter. By
interacting with wildlife, people can gain a greater appreciation for the animals of the world.
Zoos offer educational experiences through which people of all ages can learn why it is so
important to protect and maintain the diversity of animal life on Earth.
Zoos bring visitors into direct contact with awe-inspiring creatures from all over the
globe. At zoos, you'll find people delighted by watching the unique behaviors and habitats on
display. However, this is just the surface of what zoos represent. Beyond just providing a
spectacle for sightseers, zoos also function as places where these often rare or endangered
animals can be studied. By keeping and raising animals in captivity, extensive research can be
conducted on the animals to help scientists understand them. This scientific understanding, in
turn, contributes to conservation efforts around the world. Because zoos are a safe place for
animals to be observed, scientists are able to make important discoveries about their lives.
While it is true that not all zoos are as well maintained and outfitted as the previous
examples, there is growing international pressure for universal regulations that will ensure the
monitoring of all public zoos. This type of legal support will allow the world?s zoos to continue
their important research programs, many of which are geared toward breeding programs
designed to replenish endangered species. Breeding programs are essential to continue certain
species who are nearly wiped out from the wild, and zoos are the ideal place for these programs
to proliferate. Breeding animals in captivity can give them the best chance for survival and
access to top-tier medical care. In this manner, zoos contribute to restoring balance in the
wilderness by giving endangered species a ?second-chance? at survival.
If you visit a top-ranking zoo, you will enjoy viewing animals in a habitat designed to
support their optimal health. You can rest assured that by supporting such zoos as a visitor, you
are also supporting valuable science and conservation efforts. Your interactions with the animals
and exhibits might educate you further about creatures in parts of the world you haven?t been
exposed to. When people are inspired, they tend to take action more readily, and zoos are an
inspiring example of this truth. Zoos provide an unparalleled experience in appreciating animal
life and take concrete action towards advocating for their future.
