Many people regard the zoo as just another place to spend an afternoon, but the zoo is actually a very important place for good and for bad.
The zoo has a few very positive functions; first, the animals that are kept there are being taken care of, fed and sheltered and they don't have to worry about their survival like they have to do in the wild.
Also, the fact that so many different animals are being seen and loved every day by so many visitors helps in teaching people and children about nature and the wild life of the planet, and raises awareness to the dangers that some animals suffer because of human beings, like hunting, destruction of rain-forests and more. The awareness that the zoos are helping to create could save many wild animals.
Another good thing about the zoo is that zoos can take care of endangered animals and help their numbers grow until they can be released back into nature.
In spite of all these good things about the zoo, we must remember that zoos are prisons for animals that are taken from their natural homes. The animals have to live in small cells and they can't behave like they would in nature.
Visitors to the zoo may see the animals as entertainment only and not really care for them.
In my opinion in order to save the wild life in this plant we have to have zoos that will educates people about the amazing species that share our world. But we must make sure that we keep the animals in the best and most comfortable conditions so that they don’t suffer.
