Most children have visited a zoo. They are both entertaining and educational. In my view, though, zoos should be banned.
Firstly, zoos are not natural environments. Animals were meant to live in the wild, not in a zoo. Zoos are like prisons with no space or freedom for the animals.
Secondly, zoos change animals' behaviour. They develop odd habits such as pacing up and down or violence. Many animals have difficulty habing babies, too.
Nevertheless,  some people argue that zoos protect many animals from becoming extinct. As natural habitats are being destroyed by deforestation, animals are finding it difficult to survive in the wild. In zoos, however, they receive food, shelter, and medical care.
All in all, I believe that zoos should be banned because they are like prisons. Instead, I am in favour of wildlife parks, where animals can wander around freely in an area like their natural habitat.

Should zoos be banned? In My opinion banning all zoos could be a good idea as it would animals live in freedom

Firstly, we like seeing animals in zoo but are animals happy for this? For example we feed the animals but animals can not learn hunting sonra they can not fully develop.

Morever Everybody want to live in freedom and this is tahrir right but we are taking this right from animals and just because we want.

On the other hand some animals' family is dying and we take them and feed and be family and Thus this animals live in comfort

Finally, animals should be a live in freedom because this is right and the right is always more important

As far as I am concerned, animals have rights about freedom , just as humans, and zoos are restrict them. It is not fair for animals to live their entire lives behind a cage. Initally, no matter who looks at them, that despair on their faces is worth nothing.

Secondly, animals are forcibly taken from their natural habitats, moving away from their families and where they lived for years. Those forests, rivers and plants were created for animals. The removal of animals from these places is the worst thing of humanility’s damage to our world.

Furthermore, we don’t need zoos for children’s fun. There are amusement parks and shopping centers for people to entertain their children.

However, some people think they can see the endangered species or they think the keepers look after animals really gratifying.

There is no doubt that we actually don’t know how they look after them. This is just our hope. Animals don’t have to endure the zoos for our fun.  Zoos should be closed for the animals’ health.

All Zoos Should Not Be Banned

I do not think all zoos should not be banned and in this essay I will explain why.

Some animal activits are questioning whether or not animals should be taken away from their natural habitats.
They claim that zoos restrict animals' freedom of action and harm their instictive behaviour.
But I believe that workers in zoos fulfill an important duty when it comes to
protecting animals and raise awareness.

Some researches show that zoos that take good care of animals really help to raise awareness about prorecting animals that are about to become extinct.
One of the main reasons for the extinction of species is the destroyed natural habitats. Because of that, zoos support the environmental control
studies in the wildlife in tropical countries and provide financial assistance

Considering all these, I believe that it would be wrong to ban the zoos.

We take the animals from their habitats and put them in cages. They are not there on their own will. They want to be in their habitat. So in my opinion all zoos should be banned. First of all most animals are subjected to very poor care in zoos. Most animals in the zoos are not well fed. Most animals are not cleaned by their carers. The living standard of animals in the zoo is very low. Secondly animals in the zoo are not used to being close to humans. There are no people in most animals habitats. Most animals in the zoo are afraid of humans. On the other hand, some zoos host animals that are endangered. They put the endangered animals into breeding programs. They host animals whose habitatsa re been destroyed. As a result animals must be in their habitat. We can’t put them in cages for our own fun.

- [ ] All Zoos Should Be Banned

Today I will actually talk about the closure of a place full of bad facts that we all go with excitement as a child but we understand as we grow up .This place is zoos.

First I looked for an answer to the question of why it should be closed.The answer to this question is not far away.For example, how afraid would you be if you thought someone was taking you away from your home?Or that you have been cut off from your family.What would you feel?

In addition, if you think that you  experience violence, you would probably think that it should be closed.After all, they have a creature.

But there is a side like this: Endangered animals need to be protected and some zoos do this very well.

As a result, when we consider everything, zoos should be closed as negative sides are more than positive.

ALL ZOOS SHOULD BE BANNED

Zoos causes many problems.In my opinion all zoos should be banned.A necessary step for the animal population.We must not disrupt the balance of natural life and respect it.
Firstly if zoos are closed the animal population in the forests will increase.For example,if the animals in the zoos are in the forest,animals will breed and their generation will continue.
Moreover,they also have the right to a living and free life.If zoos close as a result they will be free.
On the other hand,some zoos are not given due attention.Animals are trying to live in bad conditions.In some zoos,they are seen only as a financial resource.
Finally let's close the zoos for a better world and future.

İs all zoos shoud be banned? Nowadays we all talk about animal rights. İn social media we see many animal in bad situation.

Fist of all we shoud start with this question "what is zoo?". Zoo:an establishment which maintains a collection of wild animals, typically in a park or gardens, for study, conservation, or display to the public. So if you a tiger in zoo your life safer than me ,who is normal person in Turkey, or your far cousins in jungle of bengal.

But there is no only perfect zoos in the world. Actually they are not zoo. They are cages. Circuses in 20th century are terrible. They are literally cages. Because they are not well feeded and they haven't got enought space to live healty.

İn our time zoos are operated according to the rules. Soo i think they are no longer problem. Zoos have true coppy of habitats which is animals accualy lives in. İf you against my opinion think about your natural habitat.Soo i think you understand

my opinion.

All zoos should be banned
Animals have to leave natural habitats because of people
In my opinion,banning all zoos be a good idea because restrict their freedom to have fun.Wild animals forget to hunt so they lose animal instinct.In short, animals become pets and this is not true
Firstly,If people moved new home or city,they can't adjust to there.Animals can't  get used to the zoo right away so they are wild at first.Animals be afraid when they leave their natural habitat.
On the other hand,animals being there proctet them from humans because hunter kill animals so many animals extinct and people do it for fun but people are protecting them in the zoo and people feed them
Finally, Zoo should be closed by people and animals should be free.

As urbanitation and human population increase , the number of zoos is increasing day by day. As far as I’m concerned ‘All zoos should be banned is a good idea. In this way, animals will not be deprived of their habitats.
Firstly, just as a live comfortably and safetly in our own homes, animals also have the right to live in their own habitat. We can’t take them away from own lives to visit and see them. They are happier in their areas.
Moreover, there is a balance in nature. And we are harming this natural balance by trapping animals here. Wich means that many animals and plants species are endangered.
On the other hand zoos can be useful for sick and needy animals. It also host some animals that can’t live on their own in nature.
All in all I think that zoos should be banned because zoos aren’t real habitats of animals. And we don’t help them by trapping them here. We harm them by this way.

Animals are alive like us. Every animals have a own their suitable areas. For example, a lion can’t live at the poles or a camel can’t live in the forest.
Firstly, zoos are a place where animals of all kinds are collected. Thus, people can see animal species that they never seen in their life. Especially entertainment for children.
Secondly, animals are captured for our fun. They have to leave their families and habitats. They are no different from monkeys in the circus.
Thirdly, since zoos are not suitable for living areas, some of them are psychologically impaired and some are not adaptable and die. So we cause their extinction.
To sum up, zoos should be closed. We are unfair to them and there is nothing forgivable. We should let them live in suitable places with their families.

All cities have a zoo today.All many animal species live in zoos. Thanks to the zoos we can see the animals we have never seen. In my view all zoos must be banned.Animals should live in own natural habitats.

Firstly all animals have a natural life areas and adapted the this areas. If we change the habitat of animals, they can get sick and die.For example penguins can’t live anywhere else than antarctica or a giraffe can’t live in cold regions.Also although it is forbidden, zoo guests give a harmfull foods to animals.This situation endangers the health of animals.

Moreover, in a possible disaster, these animals will escape from zoos and create an environment of chaos. Especially predator animals will make this situation more dangerous. As a result all animals should life in own habitat.

On the other hand,some believes we must protect  endangered species.I agree this because hunters killing some species  in own life areas.

In conclusion all animals should live freely. No animal should be kept captive.For this reason,zoos should be banned.

From my point of view all zoos should be banned. It should be noted that every animal is a living  being so every animal deserves freedom.

First of all every animal have a habitat. Seperating animals from their habitat harms both animals and the ecosystem.

In addition, no zoo can provide enough living area for animals so animals do not have sufficent quality of life and can not live properly. Besides some zoos torture animals just for  people to watch.

On the other hand, some people think to animals should be in zoo. According to people, animals should not be in cities. Because they believe that animals can harm to humans.

To sum up I believe that , zoos should be banned because no one want to live in a cage, why animals live in cage? If we do not provide animals we have to improve the living conditionsof animals.

Nowadays,the freedom of wild animals is restricted and presented to people. In my opinion “All zoos should be banned”could be a good idea, if keeping animals healthy and free.

Firstly taking the liberty of a creature is one of the biggest punishments in the world.So we couldn’t their freewill.Therefore all should should be banned.

If we banned all zoos animals could be happier,healthier reproduce efficiently . Animals have not come to the world to keep people fun.We always forget this.

On the other  if we banned all zoos we should not forget about endangered animals. They should protect in their habitats. Moreover we can't leave animals to the environment .İt causes chaos.

Last but not least we should not forget that animals have a place in the world but not our toys . We don’t keep them behind bars and we don’t go to zoos our children just fun they are wild and they living in their habitats freely.

The number of zoos is increasing every day in the world and people go to zoos, which limits the freedom of animals. For me, banning zoos can be good for expanding the habitats of animals and making them happier.

At the beginning , zoos give people a short happiness, but they give animals great sorrow.  For example, a family goes to the zoo to have fun at the weekend, but the animals are there all day and away from their own habitats. Also, the zoos will freeze when the zoos are closed and the animals are forcibly taken and closed.

Moreover, the pet is not sold at pet stops and the circuses are closed.  As a result, the animals are free on the field.

On the other hand, some people may threaten their safety by hunting animals, so it may be wrong to strictly ban them.

To sum up ,I think that removing most zoos can be good for the happiness and freedom of living things.   Mali Özyigit

Today some animal activists say that all zoos should be banned. But zoos are a very good place to have fun. They are beautiful and different from other places in town. Other than, can you get yourself in the animals, which live in zoos, shoes?
First of all, there are lots of animals live in zoos without freedom because they are not like people. They have a habitat and if you change it their all habits can change.
Moreover,  if they escape they can attack people and you don't want this because they are more dangerous than a human killer. You can kill a human killer but you can't kill an animal that attacks you.
On the other hand, animals are very important for animal researchers. For example, think that you are an animal researcher and you need tigers to research. İf there isn't any zoo, you need to go to Africa and look for weeks to find one of them. But in zoos, you need to get your privacy permission and do whatever you want.
All in all, zoos are important places to research and earn money although they are limited animals' freedom so they should be closed.

Today, it is possible to see a zoo everywhere. zoos are beautiful places for us to study animals and learn their lives. But i think all zoos should be banned.
First of all, zoos change the habitats of animals. It is not only limited to this. You think it only affects animals, but it also affects the life cycle in the forest. In addition, people can see the lives of animals, but 1 animal cannot see the life of a person.
Moreover, if the animals return to their habitats, the life cycle of other creatures will be in order. In short, it would be good for animals not only for them, but for everyone. They will be better off both life and mentally.
On the other hand, zoos are very important for those who do this job. For example, zoos can be a job for vets. People wonder and spend time in their spare time and spend both time and money.
All in all, zoos should be banned because they are not only here in their actual habitats, but no matter how well they are affected, they are badly affected by this situation and this is not fair.

the number of animals in zoos is increasing by the day. In my opinion "all zoos should be banned" is a good idea. this prohibition will allow animals to live in their natural habitat and prevent the deterioration of the ecological balance.
Firstly, animals have the right to be as free as we are. For example, if the animals are not shut down, it will make them happier and will be better for the survival of their species and their psychology.
Moreover,the removal of animals from their free environment is the 4th amendment of our Constitution. is contrary to Clause. As a result, zoos restrict animal freedom.
On the other hand, some people argue that Zoos protect endangered animals such as pandas. they suggest Zoos should only look after endangered animals.
As a result, I think that Zoos should be banned because animals should not be displayed as objects to humans, if animals are to be cared for, "special care homes" should be opened for those who are endangered or injured and then left to their natural environment.

Nowadays we have a lot of zoos in the cities. That’s why some people say “We shouldn’t create zoos.” I blieve this is not true. Because ı think if we want animals to live well, closing zoos is not the best way.

Firstly we have not a lot of species animals in the cities. For example predators such as lion, tigers, crocodiles are very dangerous and if we want to see them, we must go zoos. Or animals like giraffes, elephants, monkeys are not predators but they are wild animals. They can’t live in the cities so we need zoos for see them.  Especially little children want see them. Children see them and learn their life.

Furthermore, some animals in need our help. For example they are injured or they are endangered animals. So we need zoos for we help their.

On the other hand, some people say  “We captive animals in the zoos.”. They blieve they are animals were extorted from their habitats. According to their opinion if we like the animals, all zoos should be banned.

Consequently, we shouldn’t ban the zoos. I strongly blieve that if we like the animals, we should find another ways for help animals.

Today we can see many zoos in every countries. The zoos are opening to teach people  something about animals, spending their free time and have some fun.However, i think all zoos must be banned.
First of all,  lots of animals are living in their habitats peaceful and healthier than zoos, because they are free in their habitats. Sadly, the zoos are disturbing and taking them from their habitats with using force to earn some more money. For example, many zoo owners buys wild animals such as lions,tigers,eagles etc. to takes people’s attention. Also animals which lives in zoos can forget how they act in their normal habitats.
Moreover, some families which have little children wants to teach all species of animals and their features to their children's.So they goes zoes and sees animals,but they don't know that animals can't act as they wish in zoos.
On the other hand, people goes zoos as a social activity and spends their time with their family. Also if an animal got injured, the vets who works in zoos can help them.
All in all, we must ban all zoos because all animals wants to live where they want and as they want.We mustn't forget that they are living in Earth like us.

Our society is devoloping and the number of zoos are increasing. In my view closing all zoos could be a good idea, in this way animals which lives in zoos can live in their natural habitat.

Firstly, all animals should live in their own habitat. Forcing animals to live in another place could be detrimental for both of us. It change World’s order and cause bad consequences. Also, forcing animals to live in cage is subhuman. We should treat them like a living creature, not like an object.

Consequently, commercialise the animals is unethical.

On the other hand, zoos could be good for endangered animals. In charge of vets they can reproduce again. Moreover zoos are good way of entertainment. Children can learn more about animals and can have fun with their parents. Also zoos are attracting so many tourist and that could be good for national economy.

In conclusıon, though zoos have good sides, they are subhuman and unethical. And banning zoos are better for animals.

ZOOS SHOULD BE BANNED
Zoos are everywhere. Almost every city has their own zoo. There is a zoo even near our school. And i think all of them should be banned.
Firstly in zoos, you can see some animals acting strange. For example, you might encounter dancing of a bear or you might see a monkey tearing his own hair while you are travel in a zoo. They are acting strange because the prison which humans imprison them is mentally hurts them.
Moreover animals live much longer when they are in their habitats and animals increase in numbers much more when they are live in the wild not in the zoos.
On the other hand zoos are great source of money. People wants to see wild animals with their naked eyes so they go to the zoos. They spends money and time in there and the countries take their share in that money.
All in all zoos should be banned because animals has some mental issues in there and mostly they live in zoos shorter than their habitats.

To me all zoos should be banned.
Recent research indicates that ...

Animals are not free...

If you visited a zoo, you noticed that animals are often unhappy.
We humans often think that animals are not intelligent and have no emotions.
So , we do not think that they will be unhappy when we close them in a cage.

Animals are mistreated...

Even if they are not killed, they are mistreated in zoos.
They are beaten, punished, and starved.

Animals live less in zoos ...

In general, animals are thought to live longer, away from diseases and the severity of nature.
However, this is not true. Narrow habitat, malnutrition and maltreatment shorten the life span of animals.
For example, wild African elephants live about 3 times longer than in the zoo.

That's why ı think that zoos should be banned.  Am ı right ?

Today many country have zoos. This places are a host for many animals. I think all zoos should be banned.
Firstly, animals are free. They can live healthy in their natural environment. For example, horses want to run freely, birds want to fly they wish. Also if they can't hunt in nature, lose their ability.
Moreover, animals are limited in the zoos. Only they act in a border. They are alone in their area and they live a short time in zoos. For example elephants are live 60-80 years in nature but they live 30-40 years in zoos.
On the other hand people can see many kind animals together and observe their lives in the zoos. Zoos are social activity for a family and contribute domestic and foreign tourism.
All in all, animals live suitable for their creation. They can hunt for the food cycle. Mew the animals for our enjoy is very selfish. We don't forget they are alive and have a rights.

In my opinion, zoos should be illegal because humans do not have the right to capture animals and tear them from their familiens.
Firstly , zoos should be closed down is the fact animals are better of natural ecosystems than in captivity. For example, The elephant is particularly distrubed when it is enclosed in a small confinement and prefers to stay in its natural habitat.
Moreover , the change in the climatic conditions is a leading cause of sickness and death for animals kept in captivity.
On the other hand, zoos provide education an entertainment. Both children and adults enjoy visiting zoos because they provide and opportunity to see wild animals without having to go the jungle.
All in all, zoos should be banned because all animals should be left to live freely in their own environment and not be restrained by human barriers.

According to the “Universal Declaration of Animal Rights” announced by UNESCO in 1978, all animals have the right to live. Killing an animal without necessity is a crime against life. No animal can be treated badly, and brutal and cruel action cannot be taken. If an animal is obligatory to be killed, it is necessary at one time without pain and frightening. Performing painful experiments on animals is also against animal rights.

If you have visited a zoo, you have noticed that animals are generally upset. People generally think that animals are not intelligent and have no emotions. Therefore we don’t think that they will be unhappy when we close them in a cage. On the contrary, we think that we have saved them fort he difficulties of wildlife, perhaps from dying and that we have been given a blessing. However, this is not the truth. Animals are intelligent and have emoitions. They love, get angry, can be happy or unhappy. Keeping them in the cage is selfishness.

Wild animals are constantly in motion and need a certain geographic area to survive. Zoos cannot provide them this area. For example, zoo habitatsa are on avarage 18,000 times smaller for a lion and 1,000,000 times smaller for a polar bear.

Animals are mistreated in zoos even if they are not killed. They are beaten, punished, and starved. As a minimum of maintenance cost are high, they cannot be fed enough.

It is generally thought that animals live longer in zoos, away from diseases and the severity of natüre. However, this is not true. Narrow habitat, malnutrition and maltreatment shorten the life of animals. For example, wild African elephants live about 3 times longer than the elephant at the zoo.

Caring for animals in zoos is very costly. Today, it is possible to protect animals in their natural habitat for much less than spending zoos. Prohibition/restriction of hunting and allocation for protection of a certain geographic area will be sufficient for species protection. This is because there are good examples. In one example in Turkey, only the prohibition of hunting and the implementation of severe fines caused a serious increase in the Brown bear population.

That is why “All the zoos should be banned”.

İn our country these days, there are many zoos and people often choose to go in the zoos. İn my opinion, all zoos should be closed.
At the beggining, animals are tear from their natural habitats. For instance , someone goes into your house, kidnaps you, tears you from your family and jails you for life. How would you feel if that were you? There would be outrage. We should empathize.
Secondly, they become pets because they don’t live in habitats and this is against the features of a wild animals.
On the other hand, zoos are good place for endangered animals. Zoos are a safe place for the best care of endangered animals.
When everythings is taken in consideration, we should want the best for animals. As as a consequence of that, we need to find another way to help animals.  All zoos should be banned.
