Argument (Animals in zoos)

This week for writing we had to write an arugument on should animals be kept in zoos. I think that they shouldn't be kept in zoos. Here is mine.

Should Animals be kept in Zoos?

I strongly believe that animals shouldn’t be kept in zoos because it is
unnatural. It is also cruel and cramped. Animals are often separated from
their families when they are brought to zoos. How would you like to be
separated from your family?

When animals are kept in zoos it encloses and refines them from doing what’s
natural. Like Hunting, and being self sufficient. research says that Tigers and
lions have around 18,000 times less space in zoos than they would in the wild.
Animals should be in their natural environment and NOT in cages. Animals in
zoos often lose their natural instincts because their habitat isn't natural.
Being kept in captivity doesn't allow animals to fully test their instincts, so
many animals lose their natural behavior.

Animals in zoos are endlessly getting looked at, yelled at, scrutinized and
pointed at. They are like bugs under a microscope. All cramped and homesick
animals squish in their cages everyday for the rest of their life!. That’s not a
life for a wild animal. 

Animals get separated from their family when their taken to zoos. When
animals are without their family they will be sad and depressed. What child
wants to see lifeless animals mope around all day. Well, Certainly not ME! 

Think about what we are doing to our wild animals. Taking them from their
natural home and their families. Just think if you were in a zoo. All the power
would be sucked out of you. That’s why I don’t think animals should be in zoos.
