I am in the midst of marking of your timed practice you wrote last week. It seems that a lot of you guys are not writing properly in PEEL format, thus leading to a lack of clarity in your writing.

Please write 2 full PEEL paragraphs to the following question:

Keeping animals in zoos is cruel. Discuss.

You are to write one paragraph that AGREES and one that DISAGREES.

If you have time, write a conclusion to this question. A lot of you guys are not able to write a conclusion that properly addresses the question.

Use the notes that I provided on discursive essay writing last term to help you.

I agree because, keeping them in the zoo is not Thier natural environment in the wild they can Rome anywhere and have unlimited freedome unlike the zoo where they have a small environment behind bars where they are trapped without enough space for them. And they are loosing Thier natural habits like hunting. The zoo does give them good food but they are becoming softer as everything is given to them instead of hunting and working for Thier food

I agree that keeping animals in zoos is very cruel because animals are not meant to be kept in tight claustrophobic spaces like cages, even if make the enclosures are large, animals aren’t meant to be in one place for long periods of time. Animals are supposed to be on the move hunting for food instead of lazing around being given food without putting in any work causing them to rely on the zookeepers to make sure that don’t die of starvation. Thus, if they were to be put out in the open they would die due to the lack in their ability to hunt for their own food.

I disagree because, in the zoo they are taken care of well and fed well. If they have any wound it will be treated instead of the risk of getting infected in the wild. In the zoo us humans can study them and Thier habits to get to learn more about them. In the wild they are risk getting hunted , hurt or eaten by other alpha predators in unlike in the zoos where there in a friendly safe habitat where it's stress free for them.

I agree that keeping animals in zoos are cruel. This is because keeping the animals isolated in one place is not good for their mental wellbeing. The animals will not look at the nature wildlife, or their homes when taken in. They would not get used to the nature and the environment around them. Some animals are forcely taken into the zoo, just to entertain tourists or people which would make the animals more hostile to humans. The animals would still have their families out in the nature. Therefore, it is a bad idea to keep animals in the zoo.

Yes , I agree as keeping animals in zoos are bad as animals in zoos are forced to live in unnatural, boring environments, leading to a lack of mental and physical stimulation such as not able to roam around the place. They are removed from their natural habitats and confined to small limited spaces and often forced to perform a show or to entertain the visitors. Visitors may visit them but animals may not feel comfortable as they are in a cage/compartment being locked. This could harm their mental health and physical health. Visitors may not enjoy watching the animals from afar , instead they would probably would want to see them up close.

garcia_daniella_theone_yling1_1 — 2024-07-09 05:47:56 UTC

i agree. Keeping animals in zoos is animal cruelty due to the fact that most zoos crowd their animals making it uncomfortable and uneasy for the animals. this is shown in an article, “In addition to limited space, many zoos cram in as many animals as possible into the enclosures. Many visitors prefer seeing animals up close, instead of peering at them from afar, hidden in their dens or nests. This encourages zoos to increase the number of animals per exhibit, increasing the likelihood of visitors seeing animals on the move near the boundaries of the enclosure. ”. Hence, making it difficult for animals to feel at ease or have privacy which can affect an animals life and put them into risk of harm or even fatal death.

muhammad_danish_muhammad_khairi — 2024-07-09 05:47:59 UTC

I agree because they got no freedom and they lack of space because they are kept in a small cage and they can’t walk around freely and they feel stress inside a small space and some people abuse them by faking to give food and hurt them like they are a prisoner

Limingyang :control animals in the zoos can be very helpful for them to get rid of the illegal hunting.As many animals are really rare and can sale for an expensive price,many hunters may against the legal right to catch wild animals.It causes a big problem.The ecosystem will de destroyed due to the hunting.Building zoos can protect these animals from being hunted well.And it can also protect the ecosystem.

I agree.Keeping animals in the zoo may shorten their life span.Many animals are kept in the zoo for a long time and might be curious about the life outside.Many animals also lose their animal instincts since being kept in a zoo means that they dont need to hunt for their food,they will think that food comes to them easily and dont know how to hunt.

I agree that keeping animals in zoos is cruel because the animals are kept in a confined space which may result in them not being able to experience the real wildlife situation. Not only that, but having to be admired all the time by the public may cause them to have a mental breakdown as some people may throw things at them causing them to be injured and traumatised. Therefore, I agree that keeping the animals in zoos is cruel.

Agreeing with Keeping Animals in Zoos:

I agree that keeping animals in zoos can be beneficial for conservation efforts and raising awareness about endangered species.For example the bangla tiger it is kept in the zoo because the tiger is a endangered special and for the next generation to see and

providing a safe haven for animals at risk of extinction, zoos play a vital role in preserving biodiversity and educating the public about the importance of wildlife conservation. Through breeding programs and research initiatives, zoos contribute to the protection and survival of vulnerable species, making a positive impact on global efforts to safeguard our planet's diverse ecosystems.

keeping animals in zoos is cruel ? This is bad because zoo animals won’t get to explore nature on their own as they are use to people taking care of them . The animals will have difficulty finding their own food and even having a hard time finding a place for them to stay. Since they are not able to take care of themselves , they will not know how to protect themselves. In a case of them being attack by a predator, they will not be able to defend themselves and worst senario is them dying . This is why keeping in zoos is cruel

poh_reiya1_1 — 2024-07-09 05:52:16 UTC

I agree that keeping animals in zoos can be cruel as sometimes zoos tend to keep/get animals just for the sake of profits which can be linked to this article. “While some captive animal venues claim to prioritize conservation efforts, their main focus remains on exploiting animals for entertainment and financial gain. “ Although zoos offer benefits like being able to educate the public about animals, it still doesn’t justify the fact that the animals are being taken out from the wild and held in captive just for this reason.

benjamin_manktelow2 — 2024-07-09 05:52:34 UTC

I agree that keeping animals in Zoos is cruel as the animals are kept in caged areas with no escape or freedom. For example, some baby sharks in aquariums have not aged to be mature yet and would.be trapped in a large variety of sea creatures with no space to move or roam around in the water, unable to leave. Sometimes if the animals do something wrong, they might get abused by the zookeepers.

Zhang Wei 🙃

yap_zhangwei1_1 — 2024-07-09 05:54:06 UTC

I agree that keeping animals in zoos is cruel. Although they re safe from bigger predators that may get them out in the wild it would make them not learn how to hunt or survive in the wild.For example some cubs that were birthed and raised in the zoo wont know to hunt and survive on their own as they have been carefully taken care of and raised in the zoo. So if they were to get released back into the wild they would have a hard time adapting to their original habitat as they would be reliant on their zoo keepers to give them food. Thus, placing animals in zoos is in fact cruel as they would slowly lose their ability to hunt and survive.

Disagreeing with Keeping Animals in Zoos:

On the other hand, I disagree with the practice of keeping animals in zoos due to the ethical concerns surrounding the confinement of sentient beings for human entertainment. While zoos may claim to provide educational value and promote conservation, the limitations imposed on animals' natural behaviors and habitats can lead to physical and psychological distress. This raises questions about the ethical implications of prioritizing public display over the well-being of individual animals, casting doubt on the true benefits of captivity for wildlife preservation.

Keeping animals in the zoo is cruel, as animals will have no freedom to explore the world that can cause them to have a lack of access to find their own food . As said, there will be no access to find their own food and lack of access to freedom, which leads to them being depressed and they cant learn survival skills for their own good . Thats why they need to learn to explore the world themselves so that they are prepared . Keeping animals in zoos are cruel .

Danish

muhammad_danish_muhammad_khairi — 2024-07-09 05:56:52 UTC

I disagree because the zoo will take care of the animals unlike in wild life they may get injured and no one will find heal them and they might also die due to massive blood loss and in zoo they will feed them on time or even put them to sleep unlike in wildlife they will need to keep a lookout for predators or even searching for prey to get food they may die to hunger or being eaten by other predators

Benjamin

benjamin_manktelow2 — 2024-07-09 05:57:08 UTC

I disagree as most Zoos are helpful towards their animals that they keep. The animals are well fed and can roam around in their large enclosure. The animals whom are injured can be aided by the zoo’s vets. The animals enclosed in these zoos are safe from any predators or hunters trying to harm them. The zookeepers can help the animals practice their survival instinct by training them if they get released back into the wild.

Amos

li_bingjun1_1 — 2024-07-09 05:57:23 UTC

I agree,Zoos keep animals safe by keeping them inside the zoo to prevent the hunters from hunting them and endangering their species.Another pro is that the zoos educate people about animals and conservation efforts, teaching people from all around the earth who come to the zoo about animals and why not to hunt them and animals that are endangered. In over 80% of cases,zoo animals live longer than their wild counterparts, it is because the zoo keepers feed them nutritious food and prevent them from getting hunted by other animals and hunters.

Cayden

2024-07-09 05:57:31 UTC

I disagree,because zoos can help the animals be protected from poaches,hunters and other predators,they are also fed well,well taken care of and can be used to give other ppl information.

Teh Li Sheng

2024-07-09 05:58:30 UTC

Zoos is not cruel,but rather kind.Why? Because the zoo help endangered animals by keeping them in safe environments ,safe from predator,giving them food.Zoo even breeding endangered animals for protect them vanish from the world.Zoo is for people to see animal in person and learning them.

Crystalbelle

crystalbelle_yong_kai_qi1 — 2024-07-09 05:58:36 UTC

Keeping animals in zoos is extremely cruel. This is because keeping animals in confinement may stress the animals and they may start acting oddly such as snapping and biting themselves when they cannot escape according to research. Researchers has also shown that after being held captive, they develop stereotypical behaviours which may lead to them pacing in circles, back and fourth and even self-harm. This is also called zoochosis when they do such things.
This is very unhealthy for the animals as they can easily die from doing these things. By keeping them in cages, you will also take away their joy and happiness and they have to endure immense suffering as they cannot move around anywhere because they are restricted to do so.
Therefore, keeping animals in zoos can ruin their freedom and joy of being an animal.

Farah

nurul_farah_zafirah_mohamad2 — 2024-07-09 05:59:09 UTC

No, I disagree as animals could be helped by the animal welfare. They could teach them new skills and making sure that they adapt a new skill. This could help them to entertain the visitors as well as they could play a crucial role in wildlife conservation. Zoos contribute significantly to wildlife conservation. They could also keep them safe from danger or getting extinct.

reiya

poh_reiya1_1 — 2024-07-09 06:01:09 UTC

I disagree that keeping animals in zoos is cruel as zoos play a crucial role in animal research for researchers. Zoos also provide invaluable opportunities for researchers to learn more about conservation, biodiversity and sustainability which makes it a great resource for understanding more about it.

Marreyah 🙂‍↕️

marreyah_mohamed_ghazali2 — 2024-07-09 06:01:58 UTC

I also disagree with the fact that keeping animals in the zoo. This is because there are animals that get treated well and get good treatment. For example, as the animal was injured in the wildlife, the caretakers take them to get them medical attention. Once they are well and healthy, they might participate in shows or even display themselves with a calm manner. They would feel love and kindness towards the humans as they are treated well and being fed. Some animals could live their lives in the place itself. Since it has a nature-like environment and it makes the animals more comfortable and more easier to find a home.
So, in my opinion, I find putting animals in the zoos are very convenient for them.

Gavin👎

sng_qian_en_gavin2_1 — 2024-07-09 06:02:00 UTC

I agree because the point is that nobody on earth would like to be locked up, let alone animals. What I am concerned about, is that the animals that are caged up in a cage, may not have the space to freely roam around inside its own cage, thus losing its mental health over this little thing. Another point is that, it makes them lose their socialising skill amongst another animals over time as since they are on their own in the cage, they will soon be more and more shy. So therefore, I agree that animals that keeping animals in zoos is cruel.

Fiza

fiza_faneendra1_1 — 2024-07-09 06:02:01 UTC

I disagree that keeping the animals in the zoos are cruel as these animals are being pampered by the public and the zookeepers. The animals in the zoos do not have to hunt for food or learn how to defend themselves which makes their life easier than the animals in the wild. They are also being praised for their behaviours by the public and getting free food which may result in them being spoiled. Therefore, I feel that having animals in zoos are not cruel as they are being taken care by the public and the zookeepers

Keeping animals in the zoo is not cruel . As animals will be well taken of and fed so that they wont end up sleeping in hunger and if they do it can be hard for the zookeeper as they need more help to keep them healthy and take constant medication . People will also get to explore animals with an up close view .

Draco 👍

2024-07-09 06:03:41 UTC

I disagree that keeping animals in zoo enclosure is cruel because the animal will be taken away from their natural predators so they won’t have to worry about being killed for food and the zookeepers will make sure the animals will all be well fed, entertained and happy so as to make sure that their mental health is good, safe and healthy.

Insyiraah

nur_insyiraah_mazhairy — 2024-07-09 06:05:11 UTC

Keeping zoo animals is not cruel because the animals are in good hands. The zoos have been really helpful and saving endangered animals but it doesn't work out for certain species . The zookeepers will feed them and ensure that they are in good condition. In a case that they are sick , the zookeepers can take action and help them to feel better . This is why keeping animals in zoos are not cruel

The animals being enclosed in these zoos are safe from the predators or hunters that's trying to harm them. The zookeepers can help the animals practice their survival skills by training them if they get released back into the wild such as catching prey for the carnivarous or as looking for plants to eat in the wild as some may be poisonous

regine_tan_si_ying2_1 — 2024-07-09 06:08:52 UTC

I agree because keeping animals in zoos in a small space might lead to them going crazy and doing dangerous stuff. Lack of space means that animals don’t get enough space to roam around and be more free. Animals are sentient beings, capable of feeling pain and joy. When they're locked inside cages or crates, they endure immense suffering, as their movements are severely restricted, they can't engage in any of their natural behaviour, and they have no control over their lives. Studies have shown that psychological distress in animals kept in zoos is so common that it has its own name called Zoochosis. Thus keeping animals in zoos are cruel as it will lead to consequences.

Crystalbelle

crystalbelle_yong_kai_qi1 — 2024-07-09 06:09:32 UTC

I disagree that keeping animals in zoos is cruel. Zoos are protecting the animal species from the wild and also from extinction. Animals get fed by zookeepers which is much safer for animals as they do not have to hunt for food if they lived in the forests. If animals in zoos get injured, the zoos keeper can help bandage them instead of animals being in the wild and crying for help. Research has also shown that peoples well-being after going to zoos is better than before. Animals can bring joy to us humans and animals can also help our mental health. We also learn more about wildlife when we go to the zoos to see animals and we can learn about their natural habitat and what they eat and those type of things. When animals put on shows for us, we can enjoy the show by watching the animals perform which can make our day. Therefore, having zoos is not that bad in the end as it can bring joy to us.

Zhang Wei 🙃

yap_zhangwei1_1 — 2024-07-09 06:11:39 UTC

I disagree that keeping animals in zoos are cruel as the zoo vets would take care of the animals whom are injured or sick not to mention that their population would increase due to them being in captivity allowing them to reproduce in peace. In addition, they would be properly fed as the zoo care takers would feed them food at the appropriate time as some animals struggle to find food due to climate change such as the polar bear for example, polar bears now struggle to find food as the ices are melting not allowing them to properly hunt for food. Some other animals that struggle due to climate change not just because of food are: snow leopards, whales, bumble bees and green sea turtle. Thus, i disagree that keeping animals in zoos are cruel as they would be well protected from global warming and predators in the wild.

garcia_daniella_theone_yling1_1 — 2024-07-09 06:12:46 UTC

zoos are not animal cruelty as zoos provide shelter for animals endangered. they provide food and water and a safe environment. this is shown in an article, “Zoos protect against a species going extinct. A species protected in captivity provides a reservoir population against a population crash or extinction in the wild. Here they are relatively safe and can be bred up to provide foundation populations.”Therefore, concluding that zoos do not support animal cruelty. it also benefits almost extincted animals from going truely extinct.

Teh Li Sheng

2024-07-09 06:14:12 UTC

Zoos are cruel.They kept animal on limited space(cage),Especially for animal that roam,swimming or flying in big distances.Usually animal don’t like to visited,human can affect negatively to animal by the sound,smell,and appearance can trigger the stress responses of some animal.many animal from the captivity get caught and brought to the zoos with unnatural environments(Using plastic,concrete). Most zoos are for-profit enterprises, meaning they have one goal in mind: maximizing revenue.

Daniyal

2024-07-09 06:15:47 UTC

Animals in captivity often live longer due to a lack of natural predators and no need for them to hunt and scavenge for food.animals in captivity are often more pampered and less feared than wild animals. Many wild animals are regarded as not sanitary and dirty thus people tend to avoid them animals such as dogs get treated very differently based on where their wild and raised in captive

Amos

li_bingjun1_1 — 2024-07-09 06:18:38 UTC

I disagree, as one of the cons are that animals have very limited space as the animals are meant to live in the wild which has a large area to move around in but in the zoo they are confined to just that room. Another con is that the animals might be shy and don’t like people to come and look at them or take photos of them as there might be flash photography and the animals might not like that flash i their eyes. Sometimes animals might be mistreated as the zoo keepers might forget to feed the animals and sometimes the zoo keepers might force the animals do to tricks for shows and make them do tricks that might hurt them and force them to interact with the guests which they might be uncomfortable with.

Gavin

sng_qian_en_gavin2_1 — 2024-07-09 06:18:52 UTC

I disagree that keeping animals in zoos are cruel. As in the name, it states that the zookeepers would be keeping animals in a zoo or perhaps a cage to safeguard or maybe to watch it. I feel like the zookeepers are just doing their job just by leaving their animals in the cages to watch it so that in any danger situation, they know where to find the animals and will not panic as much. Therefore, I disagree that keeping animals in zoos are cruel.

regine_tan_si_ying2_1 — 2024-07-09 06:29:17 UTC

I disagree that keeping animals in zoos is cruel because animals are kept in zoos to make sure that they are safe and are in good shape. If animals were to be out in the wild they would be hunted down by predators or hunters. Animals are also being feed good and healthy food inside of in the wild when the word is unsafe and unhealthy. Animals also can get treatment as soon as possible unlike in the wild where no one is there to seek the animals if injured. Thus, keeping animals in zoos are not cruel but for the animals safety.
