In my opinion i think that zoos are inhumane for many reasons. One, they don't get to live and survive in their natural habitat.Which could alter their species completely.And may cause some changes physically. One con is that there is hardly any space for the animals to roam and play.It can't be fixed by adding on to the exhibits and possibly sending the animals to another new zoo. They could do that so less animals get taken against their will to a zoo.That way less animals would get harmed.…

Millions of people around the world enjoy going to the zoo. For most, it is a major part of their childhood and their early education. Some go only to see the animals and learn interesting facts about them; while others go to see how closely represented their zoo environment compares to their habitat in the wild.

Zoos lie to you about the animals. Many zoos claim that the reason why they exist and continue to breed animals is to help protect endangered species, but that not true. In fact most animals in zoos aren't endangered, and those who are likely never be released into natural habitats. I think we shouldn't have zoos. Living without the important things to them can cause “zoochosis” which is a condition animals act strangely even hurt themselves from boredom or frustration. They don't get to do…

Rhino—extinct in the wild, existing in captivity (O’Connor). Despite existing only in zoos, critics wonder if this situation is truly acceptable. Those in favor of zoos would argue that absolutely, the species lives and can work towards re-establishment and conservation. On the other hand, critics say it prolongs an inevitable death, forcing the animal to spend the rest of its life depressed and alone. This argument has loomed over zoos’ existence from the dawn of their creation. So how does…
