Zoos

I don’t agree with zoos being a good way of saving endangering species. Most zoos are over-priced places that sometimes even mistreat animals and people only use them to gain money for themselves. They use animals as an attraction or even use them for shows from time to time. Sometimes they even try to teach animals tricks and in order to do that they beat them up. We can’t be sure that all zoos treat animals good, we can’t even be sure if the animals eat fairly there. I understand that people are trying to conserve species so that’s why they created the zoos, but I think that for doing this they are really narrow minded. If humans were to disappear, would you like to be kept in an artificial environment and live like that until someday you die? I don’t think so.  We are mostly talking about savage animals, animals that were not born in captivity and lived free for hundreds of years, so let’s just think about it, are they really happy being held in captivity? I think that they would be happier living free. I think they only bring endangered species to the zoos to gain money from people that go to see them because they think it’s something spectacular seeing a species that is about to disappear. In my opinion it would be better if we tried helping the animals in a way that they needn’t be kept captive.
