Should animals be kept in captivity?
People think that life is harder for animals that are kept in captivity. Well, think again! Life is actually easier for animals that are kept in zoos. Here are my reasons why.
Firstly, animals are treated very well. Zoos provide them with special homes and toys to play with. If an animal gets sick, zoos will always take care of them so they can get better.
Secondly, it’s easier for them to get food. At a certain time they will get a variety of foods depending on what type of animal they are. For example lions love meat, so they would get a nice juicy steak. Wouldn’t you want a nice juicy steak for dinner?
Thirdly, animals have so much fun! They get to play with animals of their own kind. If they like water they can go for swim. They can even celebrate their own birthday! Wouldn’t it be cool to celebrate your own birthday in a zoo?
In conclusion, I hope that I convinced you that animals should be kept in zoos. That’s why I believe that animals should be kept in zoos and not roaming free.
