(2022春·广东广州·八年级统考期末)①Zoos are very popular with adults and children. But are zoos actually a good thing?
②Some people criticize keeping animals in zoos. In their opinion, animals often suffer a lot for being enclosed. Even the best zoos can’t provide the environment that animals have in the wild. It’s a pity that the animals living in the wild are caught, and then kept away from their families. This leads many zoo animals to feel nervous or sad. What’s worse, some zoo animals may even die earlier than their wild relatives.
③However, some people have different ideas. They think zoos can connect people with animals, educate the public to protect animals and call on people to save animals as well as their homes. Some zoos offer a safe place to those animals which have been badly treated. Also, to support international breeding program, zoos have special programs to produce more young animals, especially for the species (物种) which are in danger of dying out. In the wild, some of the endangered species have trouble in finding partners and having new baby animals. A good zoo will provide a safe environment for these species. Moreover, zoos also do research into animal behavior and how to treat their illnesses.
④So, are zoos good or not? It depends on how good the zoo is. It’s sure that zoos have more advantages than their harmful effects. But it is understandable that many people don’t agree to enclose animals for any reason.
