I disagree that animals should be kept in men made cells. I feel that zoos are an
unsuitable environment for animals and therefore should be abolished.
Firstly, zoo animals are kept in very confined area compared with their vast natural
habitat. Due to this zoo animals develop unnatural habits like pacing back and forth
or swaying from side to side. For example, polar bears are given about 10 metres of
walking space where as in their arctic home they roam for hundreds of kilometers.
Similarly, lions and tigers are confined in cages where they lack exercise and
stimulation. What is more, it is very common for visitors to tease and provoke caged
animals. This also leads to unnatural behavior in animals.
Secondly, the breeding programmes taken up by zoos are not very successful. For
instance, the ‗Panda Breeding Programme‘ has been very costly and unsuccessful.
Also, zoo life does not prepare animals for the challenges of life in the wild. They are
provided good food in the zoos, but if left in the jungle, they may die of starvation
because they cannot hunt for themselves.
Finally, the zoo is an unnatural environment that exposes animals to many dangers.
Diseases often spread between species that would never live together naturally. For
example, many Asian elephants have died in African zoos after catching herpes from
African elephants.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that, zoos are unnatural habitats for the wild
animals and there is no justification in caging these marvelous creatures of God.
