Imagine a world without being able to see any animals? Well, that would be a world without any zoos. People have brought up that zoos should be banned and I agree for these reasons: Serious Health Problems, The animals and human lives aren't equal and finally Captivity. Read more to find out more about my 3 reasons we should ban zoos.Health Problems:
Because of bad weather, a zoo in Alaska struggled to look after an elephant named Maggie. Usually, on a rainy day, you will have to stay inside and play games but for Maggie, she stayed inside a small space. She was provided with a treadmill to do at least some exercise but she then developed difficulties to walk.
Unequal Lives:
Poor Harambe the gorilla died because an unsupervised 3-year-old boy went into a Harambes' habitat. Human and animals lives aren't equal and humans don't understand that animals need their space. If humans invade animal habitats then the animal is most at risk.
Captivity:
Animals like a cat will do well in a small atmosphere unlike larger animals like the orca or whales. In the wild, an orca can live up to 100 years old but in the zoo 30 -17 years is as long as they will live. So they do better in the wild.Conclusion:
In conclusion, animals should be left alone because of the reasons stated above. They thrive when in the wild and if we want to preserve these animals then we should treat them well. So what do you think, should zoos be banned?
