Should animals be kept in zoos/ speech writing

WALT - use specific vocab

 This week we were learning to write about speeches because speeches are coming up at the end of the term. This was just a practice and starting to know how to write a specific speech. The whole class did this type of writing because it was just a warm up. Here is my writing, if you want to answer one of the question then please comment down below.

Animals should not be kept in zoos.

Should animals be kept in small cages and not be able to move around?

I strongly believe that animals should not be in zoos because it’s brutal. I think it’s mean because in zoos, they rely on humans to survive, they are taken away from their habitats and taken away from families.

Firstly, their natural instinct to hunt goes away because the zoo keeper’s feed them and decide when they eat, and how much they eat. Also the tourists or visitors feed animals junk food. They are NOT ALLOWED it because it makes the poor animals sick. It’s also not healthy for animals. It’s not their normal diet.

Secondly, lack of freedom means muscles detenciate. I mean the animals don’t use their muscles so animals can lose simple stuff like walking, swinging and swimming for some animals. It is too hot for some animals like polar bears and penguins, just because of zoos. Some zoos are also too cold for other animals like elephants and crocodiles.

Thirdly, babies are taken away from their mothers. Which is very hard for the babies to live. Like us, elephants feel joy when they see their families but grief when separated from each other. In zoos, they are lonely. There are no herds. They are normally in heards. Animals in erds, when they are separated, they will feel and have depression, anxiety, aggression and sometimes die.

I strongly believe that animals should not be kept in zoos because it is brutal.
