Should there be zoo's ?




Many people like the zoo's; well I definitely know that young children do, but do zoo's hurt animals? Do get animals frustrated and stressed? Should there be zoo's? Some Nature reserves argue that animals should get more space, but some zoo's argue that they don't have enough money now especially now that the credit crunch has hit.

Some people that having zoo's is an amazing experience for young children. The zoo's can be educational as kids can learn about animals at a close range. This can can be fun for children, especially for kids with disability's and problems at their home or school. Children can also interact with some of the animals(the animals that are safe and still cubs). The zoo can be a spacial thing for everyone.

Furthermore, Animals can get protected from hunters and predators. Also scientists say many animals are coming to extinction, and zoo's help this by letting animals breed, and then some zoo's then realise them back into the wild. Animals also get what they need.

On the other hand many people believe that keeping animals in small spaces like zoo's can lead animals getting stressed and fustrated. This can destroy an animal's life , as scientists think that the animals think that they dion't want to live anymore. Scientists also think, that animals think that they are in a type of prison.

Futhermore, animals start to get lazy as animals gat all there food given to them, as normally in the wild they hunt for there food. Also the change of habitat can have some long term effects, such as to exited or to angry in there cage.

I feel that animals cam be in a place that is caring for them but they have to hunt for there food and have lots of space to play. I think nature reserves could be very goog for animals.
