People's opinion about zoos nowadays
Zoos are a very controversial theme nowadays. While some people see them as an invaluable resource to educate children about nature,
for others, they are something completely outdated which should be banned.
In my opinion, zoos' research work in not very well known nor appreciated. Scientists investigate different aspects of the animal's life and, especially in the case of those in danger of extinction, this can be very helpful in order to protect them.
Thankfully, people are now more sensitive about animal's life and, it is for that they are worried about how animals live in zoos, as they think they would be better in their natural environment. From my point of view, if people had a better knowledge about zoos' functions, they would have a more positive view of them.
Endangered species can't be abandoned on their own luck. Living in a controlled and safe environment like a zoo, scientists can help with their reproduction and conservation.
In conclusion, current people's worry about zoos is a good thing, and zoos should spread more the important work they do to be more supported.
