Zoos: Keeping animals in zoos is good for them

Arguments For:
• Zoos keep animals safe from predators and hunters. Many species would be in danger of
extinction if not protected in zoos.
• Breeding programs in zoos help endangered animals have babies, which increases their
population and prevents them from disappearing forever.
• Zoos let people learn about animals up close, which can inspire them to care about wildlife and
support conservation efforts.
• Animals in zoos get food and medical care regularly, which they might not always get in the wild,
especially when food is scarce.
Arguments Against:
• Animals lose their natural freedom when they are kept in zoos, which can make them unhappy
and stressed.
• Some zoos keep animals in small cages or enclosures that are nothing like their natural habitats.
• Zoo life can be boring for animals, leading them to develop strange behaviors like pacing or biting
their cages.
• Some zoos care more about making money than about giving animals a healthy and natural life.
