It is considered by some people that preserving creatures in zoos is not a good idea , whereas others believe that zoos have not only entertainment but also economic values. In this essay I will explore both views and give my own opinion.
On the one hand, animals should not kept in menageries according to several reasons. Firstly, many zoos cannot create the natural habitats of the animals so they can suffer from stress and mental health issues. Furthermore, some zoos make animals behave unnaturally, for example, marine parks often force dolphins and whales to perform tricks and they may die decades earlier than their wild relatives. Hence, animals also have a right to live freely like people in their natural habitats rather than being preserved for human entertainment.
On the other hand, Zoos play a crucial role in breeding programs for endangered species, helping to increase their populations and prevent extinction. Moreover , zoos are the place where provide educational opportunities for people to learn about animals, ecosystems and conversation efforts. I do believe that argument of, zoos attract millions of visitors every year, contributing significantly to local economies through tourism, job creation, and related industries. Taking the USA as an example, zoos and aquariums collectively contribute approximately $16 billion annually to the economy.
To sum up, it seems to me that keeping creatures in zoos are better place for extinction animals the reason why is that zoos have breeding opportunities so as to grow their populations and also it can help to increase other countries’ financial system.
