A
All over the world, thousands of animals are used for wildlife tourism. People travel to watch monkey shows, hug baby tigers and swim with dolphins. It might look like fun, but there are reports that animals are hurt now and again. The World Animal Protection(WAP) says that up to 550,000 wild animals are exposed (暴露) to ill treatment around the world; in Cambodia, for example, it's been reported that elephants have died after carrying tourists for long in hot weather. This is getting attention—over 100 travel companies have promised that they will no longer open up such places. However, some people argue that animal tourism isn't always as bad as it seems. So what do you think?

The way animals are treated is often cruel and causes much pain.Even if treated well, they cannot act in the same way as they would in the wild.
We don't need wildlife tourism.We can see animals close up in their natural home in TV programs.There's no need to disturb(打扰) them in real life.

It is enjoyable and educational for people to communicate with the wonderful animals.The more people know about them,the more they want to protect them.
