Should Zoos be Banned? By Kelly Santana

  A For and Against Essay 

The debate over whether zoos should be banned raises important questions about animal welfare and conservation. While some criticize zoos for keeping animals in captivity, others argue that zoos play a crucial role in protecting endangered species and educating the public. 

Firstly, zoos are vital for the conservation of endangered species, providing safe spaces for breeding programs that have successfully saved animals. Also, they serve as educational centers, allowing people to learn about wildlife and the importance of environmental conservation. In addition, zoos contribute to scientific research by studying animal behavior and healt, which helps improve conservation strategies in the wild. 

On the other hand, critics argue that many zoos do not provide adequate living conditions for animals, leading to physical and psychological stress. Also contend that some zoos prioritize profit over welfare, treating animals as attractions rather the living beings. However, opponents suggest that wildlife sanctuaries or reserves could be better alternatives, offering more natural habitats and less confinement. 

To sum up, I think that we should transform the zoos for conservation-driven spaces like African Safari so that we can ensure a balance between protecting wildlife and inspiring future generations to care the environment.
