I’m going to talk about one of the best zoos in Iran and its Eramzoon terror. It must have been about two or three years ago when my friend and I decided to visit a zoo because I’d never had the chance to go to a zoo before. We set off early in the morning and when we got there I stood in a queue for 20 minutes to get two tickets. On arrival there was a special section in the shape of a tunnel where they kept some species of reptiles which I really hate. After passing through this section we reached an area where wild animals such as lions, leopards and tigers were kept. As I’d never visited a lion from a close distance I went near the lion’s cage to have a better look but unfortunately they were kept in horrible conditions. They didn’t have any water to drink, a piece of meat to eat and all of them looked really exhausted. They were stretching and yawning. It was obvious that the zoo didn’t care about the animals. They only wanted to make more and more money. Seeing the lions in such an awful condition made me feel really upset and depressed. After that moment I decided not to go to such zoos where they don’t care about the animals.

I'm going to talk about one of the best zoos in Iran and its Eramzoon area. It must have been about two or three years ago when my friend and I decided to visit a zoo because I'd never had the chance to go to one before. We set off early in the morning, and when we got there, I stood in a queue for 20 minutes to get two tickets. Upon arrival, there was a special section in the shape of a tunnel where they kept some species of reptiles, which I really dislike. After passing through this section, we reached an area where wild animals such as lions, leopards, and tigers were kept. As I'd never seen a lion from a close distance, I went near the lion's cage to have a better look, but unfortunately, they were kept in horrible conditions. They didn't have any water to drink, a piece of meat to eat, and all of them looked really exhausted. They were stretching and yawning. It was obvious that the zoo didn't care about the animals. They only wanted to make more and more money. Seeing the lions in such an awful condition made me feel really upset and depressed. After that moment, I decided not to go to such zoos where they don't care about the animals.
