Answer 1

Most animal advocates adhere to the point of view that any forced detention of an animal in captivity for the purpose of entertainment of people is inhumane in its essence, in the natural habitat, many fauna representatives lead a secretive lifestyle, and in the zoo they are always in sight – this causes them incredible stress. It is not uncommon to find animals in zoos, especially predators who are in a state of complete apathy or demonstrate a high level of stereotypical behavior (walking in a circle or from corner to corner). Biologists call the phenomenon “frustration” It is a negative mental state caused by the impossibility of satisfying innate needs, such as sedentary life, communication with the outside world and with their own kind, etc. Especially cruel trapping of animals from the natural habitat with the aim of placing them in the cage. No need to entertain illusions about the content of animals bred in captivity. They have a number of the same biological needs as animals living in the wild, to realize these needs in the zoo, is not possible.Of course it's bad that the animals are in the cells and cages, they need freedom. For us it is good, interesting, and not very much for animals.   Zoo does not perform educational functions!    It is believed that zoos introduce animals to people and save rare species from extinction.  But, as practice shows, most often they do not justify either one or the other purpose. Most often, the zoo is located on a very small area, on the plate next to the cell is indicated only the name of the animal, its diet and habitat. In the zoo it is impossible to observe the natural behavior of the animal, because it has no conditions for self-realization. Birds have clipped wings so that they cannot fly, water animals often lack water. Animals in nature live in herds in the zoo they  are kept alone or, at most, in pairs. The way of food in the zoo is also unnatural: in normal conditions animals get their own food, in captivity they are fed besides not enough very often. In zoos animals do not get enough physical and mental stress, they suffer because in front of them all the time there are crowds of people. As a result, they develop abnormal stereotyped behavior.  A survey of zoos around the world conducted by the organization "Born free" showed that zoochosis is widely spoken everywhere. According to another survey, 22% of the time elephants, for example, are in a state of zoochosis. They bite the bars, shake their heads, etc., and the bears 30% of their life in the zoo roam the cage, which is also a sign of the zoochosis.Employees of one of the shelters, which receives rescued animals from zoos, reports that very often on the body of animals are visible traces of a zoochosis. So, there are cases when the chimpanzee all four extremities are covered with scars from bites. Animals bite themselves because of stress.
As for getting to know nature, zoo visitors usually spend only a few minutes at each cell, they rather need entertainment than knowledge. Observation of zoo visitors, conducted in Buffalo, new York, showed that most people did not stay at the cells long. When they talked about animals, then used words such as "funny", "dirty" or "lazy".   To conclude: Don't support cruelty: don't visit zoos!

Answer 2

Зоопарки – это места, где содержатся и показываются животные для развлечения посетителей. Существуют как положительные, так и отрицательные аргументы в отношении зоопарков.

Аргументы ЗА зоопарков: 1. Образовательная ценность. Зоопарки предоставляют возможность людям увидеть различные виды животных из разных уголков мира, что способствует образованию и пробуждению интереса к природе. 2. Сохранение и защита видов. Многие зоопарки участвуют в программах по сохранению и разведению уязвимых и исчезающих видов животных, что способствует их сохранению от исчезновения. 3. Развлечение и отдых. Зоопарки предлагают возможность провести время с семьей и друзьями, наслаждаясь природой и животными.

Аргументы ПРОТИВ зоопарков: 1. Страдание животных. В зоопарках животные часто находятся в неприродных условиях, что может вызывать стресс и болезни у них. 2. Ограничение свободы. Животные в зоопарках лишены возможности свободно передвигаться и проявлять естественное поведение, что вредно для их физического и психического здоровья. 3. Эксплуатация для прибыли. Некоторые зоопарки используют животных как объекты для получения дохода, не обеспечивая им достойные условия содержания.

Таким образом, зоопарки имеют как положительные, так и отрицательные стороны. Важно убедиться, что зоопарки следуют этическим и гуманным стандартам в отношении ухода за животными и их сохранению.
