Persuasive Essay On Zoos

Decent Essays
Were you aware that most zoos used to only have animals people have heard about but not seen? Mostly big and impressive species, like lions. We should have zoos because they keep animals safe and entertain and inform people about the animals. But, the animals are not learning what they need to learn to survive the wild.

First and foremost, some animals are threatened in the wild. Those animals are kept perfectly safe in zoos. The animals have medical care and are well-fed. As well as having breeding programs to ensure that endangered species don't die out. Thus, zoos keep animals safe from any harm.

In addition, zoos entertain people and give us a show. We might even learn a few things. People get to see animals up close and realize how

    Just zoos alone bring in billions of dollars a year, and a ton of employment opportunities, but the real question is if it is worth it. It is important to see all of the ethics behind captivity, and to know what goes on inside the zoos and aquaria that the spectators cannot see.

    The Stripes Will Survives

    In "The Stripes Will Survive" by Jacqueline Adams, "The Zoos Go Wild" by Nicholas Nirgiotis and Theodore Nirgiotis, and the video “Behind The Scenes with the National Zoo’s Lion Cubs”, all of the texts claim that the role of zoos is to protect animals from extinction or from harmful things in the wild. Whether certain animals have potentially fatal diseases or are disabled in some way, zoo keepers are there to protect the animals and help them grow and strive in areas where they are not skilled. In "The Stripes Will Survive", the text explains what specialists are doing to prevent the extinction of Siberian tigers. Two twin Siberian tigers are included in the story to help the text flow into saying what is being done to help these endangered species. This nonfictional story is an example of how the role of zoos is to protect animals.…

    The question of the impact of captivity on animals remains one of the most challenging and controversial over the several decades. Some people disagree that zoos are an important part of animals conservation as they believe sanctuaries in animal's native habitat would bring more positive results as animals suffer from the constant human presence and lack of space. Others argue that zoos provide animals with even better conditions than in the wild and that without zoos many conservation programs would not exist so that for endangered species it is better to live in captivity than become extinct. Both opinions can exist as there are many zoos in the world and their facilities contrast greatly. It is obvious that ill-designed zoos does not serve…

    Though, I know the establishment of zoos gave people the opportunity to see and learn about different animals from around the world, they play a role in animal conservation and education. It is a way of preserving species of animals that may become extinct in the future. What we do not realize is by keeping these animals in confinement, it is an act of cruelty and we do not know what takes place behind the scenes of the shows and displays of these animals. Studies have indicated that confined animals living with uncommon social groups, different climates, and unsuitable diets, unlike animals living in the wild, can lead to animals suffering from psychological and physical problems such as zoochosis. Zoochosis is a kind of behavior common in…

    In these zoos, animals are treated cruelly and are killed for no reason, animals go through mental/psychological disorders, and lack the nutritious values that are only given to them in the wild. These reasons prove that zoos need to be shut down and these helpless animals deserve to live and thrive in the environment and habitat they come from. It is disturbing to think of how positive zoos are seen and how they are a popular attraction for people of all ages. Next time people go to a zoo, they should look closely at these animals and see the misery and depression in their…

    Zoos protect animals from these dangers and can help reintroduce endangered species back into the wild. “Quite simply without these efforts there would be fewer species alive today and ecosystems and the world as a whole would be poorer for it.” (Source D).
