As spring approaches, many people go on a picnic with their families in the zoos or parks. After spending a day in the zoo, some people think that the animals in the zoo look particularly inactive and weakened. They also question the functions that zoos claim to serve. I, on the other hand, have a different opinion about zoos for their ongoing efforts for both humans and animals. Zoos can be a place of education for children. In modern society, kids often do not have the chance to interact with a wide variety of animals due to the lack of green space in metropolitan cities. Therefore, zoos help children to have a project called "Going Back to the Nature." Through this program , people can touch and make up close and direct contacts with animals. According to the park, this teaches young children to take care of animals and improve thier sense of responsibility and independence. Moreover, children can learn a vast amount on animals and gain valuable experience. As to the animals, zoos provide the optimal living conditions for them. To show people the animals in their healthiest, most zoos devote a considerable amount of time and money to keep ideal living conditions for the animals. A friend of mine, a top breeder in one of the world-renowned zoos, has confirmed my belief when he explained the details of his work in caring the animals. He added that the zoos use the best available food, make regular medical checks, and wash cages everyday. This shows the extent to which zoos are willing to invest their resources to keep their animals happy and healthy. Seeing birds flying in the sky, people compare them to the animals in the zoo, arguing that it is harsh and cruel to confine animals like that. On the contrary, I believe that zoos have many advantages in caring animals and their functions go beyond simple nurturing of animals. They also provide effective learning space for children. |
