    Zoos can help protect endangered species by caring for them and allowing populations to reproduce in captivity. They also help prevent poaching by satisfying human interest in wildlife. However, cages limit animals' natural behaviors and do not provide adequate space. While zoos aim to educate the public, animals are often isolated and suffer from small, unnatural enclosures that compromise their welfare. In conclusion, zoos both aid conservation and restrict animals' freedom, so their impact is debated.

    Zoos have a lot of debate as to whether they are a good place for animals or not.

    It is fine to bring
    wildlife to the zoo with the intention of keeping it safe, but does it actually feel safe? You can say you
    have done a good deed by letting free an animal, but does it actually feel free? You can think you
    have raised awareness for an animal by featuring it in a movie, but can you take care of it? Animals
    seem to be on a balance; humans decide what happen. This is not right but depending on the
    situation, human intervention can save animals lives.

    Zoos protect animals in different ways; if an endangered species is brought to the zoo, the animal
    can properly be cared for and can reproduce to create foundation populations. Strong populations of
    animal species only manage to be seen in captivity, still a bigger percentage only exist in the wild due
    to their reintroduction from zoos. Zoos also have crucial benefit of prohibiting animal poaching. Since
    individuals yearn to sell the prized parts of creatures for colossal prices, the number of these wild
    creatures, keep decreasing every year due to poaching. Poaching leaves several species vulnerable to
    immediate extinction, or extinction in the near future.

    If zoos are to aid in animal’s protection, why are they displayed for humans’ entertainment? Zoos are
    interested in exploiting animals to make profit. Cages are made to hold the animals for humans to
    stare and poke at, not to conserve or help animals. Wild animals are unsuitable for those little cages;
    they have developed to endure definitive environments, ecosystems, and temperatures. While
    zoos usually attempt to resemble a distinct species’ native habitat, this impression might not
    always be successful.

    Quite a number of people, especially those residing in cities would never get to bear the sight of
    real wild animals in the flesh. Television documentaries are doing impressive jobs, but this seems
    dull compared to a real living creature and experience it. It may even give them a greater
    appreciation for wildlife. Modern zoos earnestly work to inform and educate the next generation
    about the importance of conservation and biodiversity by often planning tours and informational
    booths. Zoos may play a highly important roles in informing the public about the earth’s
    environmental problems to help protect our animals as much as possible

    Animals are often isolated as they are kept in different cages from their like species. How would
    you feel if you were locked up in a cage with no other humans? You would feel sad and alone.
    Separating family groups is just unnatural and shouldn’t be done. Zoos are also naturally small.
    The cage size will always be smaller than the animal’s habitat in the wild. Some animals may
    become very bored and have developmental disorders, which cause them to damage themselves.
    It means each creature would only have a small area to survive.

    In conclusion, animals are creatures that shouldn’t be kept in captivity by zoos but, in some cases,
    they aid in the conservation of animals. Animals are wild animals that don’t deserve to held in
    such small cages without any freedom. They don’t deserve to be exploited when they aren’t
    getting a say in anything. However, zoos might be helping animals for the better by protecting
    them; keeping them from the harms of their wild habitats.
