the mother. They killed the mother first because the mother would protect her kids by attacking the people. 3) After the entire process of getting the animal they have to send them to the zoos. Some of them end up dying from a dart the hunters would shoot them with, but if they don’ t then half of them die on there way to the zoo because of the long journeys. I think there is no reason for them to get animals if they only come back with 1 or 2 animals that are still alive. 4) When there is too many animals in a zoo animals are not only sold to other zoos, but they are slaughtered, sent to canned hunting facilities, and circuses. If there is too many animals in a zoo how come they can’ t just put them back in the wild? 5) Another issue in zoos are animals suffering from boredom, stress, and confinement. No habitat is compared to the freedom of the wildl. 6) Have you ever saw an animal escape from its
enclosure. Well it happens and when it does people and other animals get harmed. 7) My last reason zoos are bad is because of the elephants. Did you know elephants in zoos do not live longer than elephants in the wild? Well it’ s true and sad. The reason why is because they have little room and elephants can travel long distances.
My Survey
I went around asking people if they think zoos are good or bad. 24 / 36 people thought zoos where good and 12 / 36 people thought zoos where bad. I was really surprised because people do not know the bad things about zoos, they only know about the good things.
Weather a zoo is good or bad there are a lot of pros and cons and different situations that make it the way it is.
