It is believed that zoos are no longer necessary and should be closed. However, I disagree with the statement because zoos provide medical care for wild animals, help protect endangered species from extinction and generates income for government.
On the one hand, zoos are necessary for providing medical support for animals. Many animals have been disappeared due to lack of medical treatment and irregular check up. Having zoos can be beneficial for injured or sick animals and endangered species. For instance, veterinary doctors in zoos can treat injured tigers and provide regular health check ups to monitor their condition. As a result, these animals feel safe and have a better chance of recovering.
On the other hand, to protect endangered animals the zoo is necessary. Zoos can help to protect animals from poachers and educate students about different animals. For example, elephants need to be protected from poachers who consumes ivory from elephants, where by poaching the population of elephants will be decreased. Furthermore, it will be an advantage for government for having a zoo. It will attract many children and to learn about the different species of animals .It will generate more income through tourism, where the revenue is collect in the form of tickets, food for visitors and other facilities.
In conclusion, I completely disagree that zoos should be closed and no longer needed because zoos will provide medical support for many animals and protect them from hunting. It is also beneficial for government to generate revenue in the name of tourism.
