Imagine going on a vacation to the beautiful country of Australia. Australia has many adventures to offer but all you can think about is that you get the chance to be up close and personal with a koala bear.

into its natural habitat with help of the AZA Bongo Species Survival Plan. Although this has worked, the plan only focuses on bongos and fails to help any other species (“Captive Breeding” 71). Conversely, giant pandas in an international rescue programme failed. Only five out of the 400 pandas born by captive breeding were released into the wild and subsequently, two of them died (Gillespie and Burgess).

I found a great pleasure in staring at these big, beautiful, and mysterious animals through the wide glass windows; and during the course of being adolescence, I marveled at the fact that, still, living in the city, we had the opportunity to be exposed to an animal in its “natural” habitat.

Keep Zoo’s! Between 200 and 2,000 animal extinctions occur every year. I believe that animals should stay in zoos. Animals should stay in zoos because they wouldn't have to worry about getting killed and they will always get food. Zoos are helping less and less of animals each year that are going extinct, zoos are providing a safer environment for the animals. As Dr Dave Hone form The University of London “Zoo's protect against a species going extinct.” (Hone, Dr. Dave. "Why Zoos Are Good.").…
