It is wrong to keep animals in zoos?

Actually, keeping animals in zoos is a very polemic subject. Is it right or wrong? To answer that
question, first I’m going to write about how animals are treated in zoos, secondly about those
kinds of animals in captivity and finally I’m going to conclude explaining my opinion about
what is the better for those animals according to their nature.

First of all, even though animals’ friends think that animals are not well treated in zoos,
actually I think that it may be not always true. In fact, the law protects them.

But, on the other hand, I have to say that actually, those animals are wild, so they may need
their original natural environment. Moreover, we can observe that it’s difficult to them to get
offspring, so that make us suppose that they could fell really bad.

Finally, I think that the psychological state is as important as the physical condition. So to
balance, in my opinion, since wild animals in captivity look like depressed in zoos, keeping
them in captivity is wrong.
