153 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? A zoo has no useful purpose. Use specific reasons and examples to explain your answer.
Can you image that when day your kid learns a new word, “ tiger”, you try to explain to him, just by pointing a picture on a book or in TV, and say, “ that is a tiger.” One day, however, when he realizes that a cat goes through your living room, he is crying horribly, “ it is a tiger.” It is not funny when zoo disappears in the city. In my opinion, therefore, the statement that zoo is useless is false and ridiculous, since zoo can function well in respect to the education among young, connection of different regions, and refuge for animals.
The real and live animals always can elicit plainly what is really the specific animal about, including appearance, size, and habits. Such touchable information helps the young to achieve new knowledge or to supplement what they have learned from the textbooks. For example, the matured monkey, a common animal in zoo that people don’t have any difficulty in realizing, varies in sizes and appearances. In zoo, the young man not only finds out the actual information by himself, but also communicates with the animal. In turn, such experience stimulates him to learn more from schools.
However, young students can’t see all the animals in their local zoo, which they learn from textbooks or watch on the TV, for most of animals don’t live in a small specific area. The zoo, an efficient and effective exchange place, offers a golden change for these anxious young men. American can go the zoo to look at panda from China, and people in Africa can enjoy the show that dolphins are play. The animal exchange, on the other hand, enhances the understanding between areas.
Another reason for the existing of zoos is that they provide refuges for animals. Such function doesn’t mean that human being tried to interfere the ecosystem. The protection can be temporary or permanent, depending on the condition of the specific animals. Some animals free in the wild world after they recover from hurt. But some endangered animals will live in the zoo, because after return they can’t survive in the wild world. Such protection is necessary for animal world.
Therefore, the statement is wrong. The zoo is playing an important role on education for people, and hence improving the understanding of the animal world. People can also know more animals native to other places through this platform. Obviously, a zoo is necessary in the human’s life.
