It is often said that zoo has a significant meaning in our society. Some people may be opposed to this statement because zoo makes various animals just pleasant diversion by limiting their life in a small fence which causes animals to lose their nature. However, I believe that zoo has useful purposes because it can be used by learning medium for children and protecting rare animals.
First of all, it is really helpful for children to go to a field trip to the zoo. This is because children can learn other existences and how to live with them by watching animal's life in the zoo.
For example, I cannot forget the day when I went to the zoo in my 8 years old. It was a striking for me that there were really so many animals which I had seen only in the pictures or drawings. The animals were so vivid and interesting that I had a dream to be a animal trainer. What is more, the affection to animals taught me how to love and share.
Also, zoo plays a significant role in preserving animals which situated in the danger of extinction. Nowdays, there are so serious environment pollution and destruction of habitat that it is certainly essential for animals to live in a certain facility like zoo which is well equipped for them. For example, in korea, there are only about 20 korean tiger that had been flourished 10 years ago. It began to be swipped out when severelly violent and strong tiger species were introduced to korea from japan. Fortunately, the tiger can maintain their life in the zoo which has no dager to be attacked by stronger species. This show that zoo serves an important role keeping variety of animal species.
On the whole, I definitely believe that society needs zoo. It gives many lessons to children as well as place to live for indigenous species. |
