Zoo's should be banned!

Most people would agree that zoo's are a nuisance to animals and should be rightfully banned.  Why do I think that?  Well, here are two pieces of evidence that prove that animals hate their homes.

First of all, animals are taken away from their homes.  This shows that animals are put into a smaller space alone instead of staying in the wild with their wonderful families.  What would you rather do?

Some say that animals don't get as much exercise as they usually would in the wild.  Zoos have changed and they're opening a new section in the zoo to make sure that all the animals have room to run around and play in.  I understand that people want animals to be protected but I think that animals should be free from zoo's.

That concludes my explanation on why zoo's should be banned.  Come on, join my side!

Should Zoos be banned?

Zoo's should not be banned.  Zoo's help animals that are sick and hurt.

Turtles live in water with plastic and rubbish that kills them.  When they put turtles in the zoo there is no plastic and rubbish so they don't eat it.  Yes, zoo's do take away hunting skills but they put the animals in a better place and they help endangered animals too.

I strongly think that zoo's are good.  Because if they release the animals more animals will die.  We love seeing the animals and it's a struggle going around the world to see them.

This is my reason that I believe zoo's are good.  They get a better habitat and it's not such a struggle for food and we don't have to travel around the world.

Should Zoo's be banned?

Most people would agree that zoo's are spectacular!  They feed the animals and make sure they are looked after extremely well.  Some people would disagree with me, and would say that zoos are horrible and they torture the animals, take away their hunting skills, kidnap them and remove them from their homes.  However, all this is wrong.

The animals do not get tortured.  

Animals do not lose their hunting skills, the zoo keepers feed them in ways that they have to work for their food, they also have toys that teach them how to hunt.

Some people also think that animals are trapped in tiny little enclosures but you are a fool if you think this.  The animals enclosures are absolutely gigantic, they have so so so so so so so so so so much room to run free.

Zoos also help hurt or endangered animals.

I hope you see my side of the argument and I hope I've change your opinion of zoos.

Zoos should not be banned.  Thank you for listening and understanding.
