Are ZOOS cruel to wild animals?


Our children love watching animals and they encourage their parents to go to Zoo in spare time. It is said that animals make children calm and sometimes watching animal is a good therapy for our pupils.
Nonetheless, did some of us, even for a while, think how really look the life of the poor and begging looking animals in Zoos. In my opinion we do not have any right to keep the wild animals in the awful cages. How we would feel if someone would close us in one of the small cages.


Firstly, we all can notice how terrible and dirty are places where the animals are closed in the Zoos. The condition of the cages are sometimes of more lower standard than we can see from outside. It is obviously known that some of the animals must have a lot of space to survive and have even the basic part of nature conditions. The cages are usually cold, unpleasant and the only thing we can see inside of it, is cringed in the corner creature, devoid of freedom.


In addition, people sometimes do not have any idea how to behave in Zoos and how to treat every specific kind of those animals. Children are screaming, crying, parents or carers of groups are feeding some of them and do not keep orders of their charges. Such behaviour scan be very dangerous, not only for the animals but also for observers.


Thirdly, our government does not have money even for orphans, so how it could think of the poor condition of Zoos. Some of the animal supporters are trying to gather a money for the animals purposes but it is still not much. There are necessary not only great amounts of money but also good wills.


In contrast, there are some people who have an opinion that animals do not deserve for right treating because human is more important in the world. Animals should not have any rights because they are not the thinking creatures. Such attitudes are very negative and make the animal situation only worse.


Taking these points into consideration, I would say that there should not be any Zoos in our countries until people and government will create better condition and special law for those innocent and deny of living in their natural environment wild animals.
