Should zoos and aquariums exist?
Hook
The first zoo to open was in the United states in New York.
People forget the good that zoos do. If it weren't for zoos, we would have so many species that would be extinct today. - Betty White
Zoo is short for zoological
Background Info
1793 the first modern zoo opened for animal research. It was made in Paris, France.
Most zoo animals are born in captivity
Some zoos are dedicated to one species or a set of species.
Specialized Info
Zoos will donate money and other essentials to help with conserving endangered species.
Zoos have a team or teams of vet staff to help sick or injured animals
Zoos will reintroduce animals which were injured in the wild back into their homes if they still have survival instincts, are scared of humans, and are fully healed.
Thesis
Zoos and aquariums should exist because zoos protect endangered species, give injured animals a safe to recover, and give animals who can't take care of themselves a home.
1st Main Argument
Zoos help endangered animals.
Zoos have survival plans for endangered animals
Zoos use some of the money they make to help endangered animals in the wild be able to stay and survive in the wild.
Zoos will take their research and give it to other scientist working to protect endangered animals
Zoos have saved the Arabian Oryx from extinction. The Arabian Oryx is extict in the wild, but thanks to zoos efforts they are making a comeback.
2nd Main Argument
Zoos give animals a safe place to recover.
Zoos research saves many wild animals every year.
When a sick or injured animal is left somewhere the zoo will come and care for the animal, giving it a second chance
Zoos will take an injured animal and provide as much care as the animal will take. They will even reintroduce them into the wild.
3rd Main Argument
Zoos give animals homes.
If an animal can not take care of itself then zoos will take that animal and care for it and make it feel at home with replicating its home.
When an animal like a bird that someone rudely pluck its flying feathers, the zoo will take it in and care for it.
Zoos put a lot of money into recreating animals homes with climate control, waterfalls, and living with ways they would find food and much more in the wild.
