opinions about zo o Some people think the zoo is crucial and we should shut down all the zoo. Some disagree with it. Discuss both views and express your opinion. People' opinions toward the zoo vary a lot. Though I disparage the behavior to take animals as a toy to play, I think we could not close all the zoos at present. My personal experience tells me that animals all own their freedom and nature and should be fairly treated. I spent my first 12 years in the countryside, and at that time my family lived on some animals: the dog can watch our house and prevent thief; the cat can help to capture mice and gate guide our corns; the cattle can help to plow, significantly relieving my grandfather's burden. Those animals, though not those kinds of wild animals, are just like our family, sharing the responsibility of the family. Hence, they deserved to be treated well, rather than taking as toys to be played or even abused. Some people, however, take pleasure from zoos. For the complexity of humanity, some people are addicted to the feeling of controlling animals. The existence of the zoo, to some degrees, satisfies such desires legally. Because we could not deter all such demand, we have to admit this and turn our attention to how to reduce the unwanted result. The logic of zoo as a form of animal protection lies in that the zoo makes the ownership of animals clear, and thus the owners are incentive to protect the animals to make sure they could make some money from visitors. If we shut down all the zoos, which makes animals useless to their owners, owners have no incentive to protecting animals anymore, and then, in the end, these animals may die more miserably. All in all, I appreciate the value that all animals should be treated fairly. Nevertheless, for some people’ demands which we can’t deny, and the byproduct of protection the zoo owner offers, I, to be realistic, oppose to shut down all zoos.
