Zoo? A killer of wild animals?

  Have you ever imagined a situation that we can only see wild animals in the zoo? These endangered animals are sure to be fed well. It may seem that they have a good life. However, they are always kept in cages, which is a lager disadvantage of zoos.

  I felt impressive when I saw the video about zoo. Animals that kept in zoos only can wander in a small place to kill their time. What a sad thing!

  Kept in cages, wild animals will lose their wild natural abilities to hunt for food and other abilities. Even for a human-being, he or she may lose some skills if one does not practice them for a long time. People usually keep endangered wild animals in a small cage, in which way they think they can protect wild animals. However, they are pushing endangered wild animals towards an edge of extinction. Wild animals will lose their skills to hunt after being separated from wild environment for a long time. They are far from their wild habitats. They can only feed on artificial food or dead animals, so that they cannot have chance to hunt in the wild. Even though one day they may be released, they may not survive in their former in habitats.

  What I mentioned before may become a circle. More wild animals are kept in zoos, more of the may lose their natural abilities. Then more of them lose their natural abilities, more of them need to be protected. Then more of them are kept in zoos. As time goes by, the condition of wild animals may become worse.

  When wild animals are not wild any more, it makes no sense to protect them by keeping them in zoos. Making natural reserves may be a better way to really protect wild animals. They can have a larger living place and will not lose their natural abilities.
