Zoos are problematic because we always cannot trap a life. We can see a bird singing in a cage but do we think it can also be screaming for help? Zoos should be completely abolished because animals belong to their natural habitat and they ought to be playing and living life on their own terms.
The term zoo doesn't mean a place where animals are kept but its real meaning is The study of animals taken from the science word zoology. In my point of view, instead of zoos, national parks should be made because the whole ecosystem is conserved inside a particular area and the habitat of animals is conserved and all the animals are already there and are guarded so no one can do animal trafficking.
Many people say that more zoos should be made because it conserves the animals but it is completely wrong because how would you feel if you are kept inside a cage and people come to see you and tease you. Animals literally have no space around that and it is difficult for them to even walk there. Roaming around is too far for them, and in many cases animals are not treated well. We only show them some sympathy because deep down we know they are caged and are not free like us.
The zoo also causes disability in animals because the hunters get food at home and if placed in the wild they forget in hunting and the prey forgets how to run to save their lives. Our government should reconsider establishing more wildlife sanctuaries than zoos that don't have enough space for animals to have a comfortable life. Can you imagine yourself in a pretty cage with food and shelter but without freedom?
