ZOO
by:Renzo
Have you ever been to a zoo? Don’t you feel sad for the animals in a small cage – no running no flying! I do, I feel sad for them. If I were in the cage I would wish I could just die because when your life is sad maybe you will kill yourself. Zoos are bad because animals don’t have space, they don’t have a place to hide, and they don’t have friends.
In a zoo, an animal does not have space like they do in the wild. For example, the hippo needs a huge water to swim. They can’t just stay in a little tiny cage and a small pool. Next, the elephant or other animal, can’t run or fly. Also, they cannot escape, they are just stuck there forever. The animals should go in the wild.
In zoos, animals don’t have a place to hide. If there was a storm they can’t hide in a safe place. If there was a tsunami they can’t escape. For example if the tiger is totally closed in a cage and the door is locked it can’t get out if it needs to get out. Animals should have a choice to hide where they want.
In a zoo, the animals might not have a companion. For example, the animal is bored in the cage and they have no friend and nothing to do. For example the bear or the elephant have no friends and the elephant lives in a group; they travel a lot they can’t just stay there and do nothing. Animals should be in the wild where they can make friends and have fun.
This is why I think zoos are bad. Animals need more space, they need the wild so they can hide if they need to and also, in zoos, some animals don’t have friends. Think about it, if you were an animal wouldn’t you rather be free?
