    I was 5 when I went to the zoo for the very first time.

    Extremely astonished at the sight of


    distinct animals. But they were all behind bars. Not as enthusiastic as I was looking at them.
    Well, probably because many people just like me have been staring at them since days or even
    years. Good morning to one and all. I would like to speak for the notion. Yes, zoos should be
    abolished. Even though zoo advocates argue that zoos save endangered species and educate
    the public,the violation of their right to freedom cannot be justified no matter what the cause
    is.

    Artificially stimulated environment in order for those animals to feel like they are in their own
    natural habitat isn't the answer.

    Animals in captivity suffer from boredom, stress, and confinement. I think any human can now
    understand more than ever what 'boredom and confinement ' feels like especially after the
    pandemic where we started considering our own homes as prison cells. In an Era where we talk
    about the rights of all living beings why are we neglecting Animals?

    A common justification for animal exploitation is Animals are not intelligent. They cannot think
    or reason. Rights cannot be determined by the ability to think. Then babies and mentally
    disabled people would have no rights in this world!

    Harambe, a 17-year-old western lowland gorilla, was shot in 2016 when a toddler accidentally
    fell into his enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo. While the child survived and was not badly injured,
    the gorilla was killed outright. was it the animals fault that it was held captive and on top of
    that put on display for money? To be precise animals are nothing but a commercial commodity
    set up for display because there is a demand for it!!!

    When there is overpopulation of certain animals. Surplus animals are sold to other zoos, also
    to circuses and hunting facilities. Or simply killed! Let's talk about
    the practice of killing “surplus” animals. This is being kept quiet by zoos, but it happens! In
    2014, the director of the E.A.Z.A. estimated that 3,000 to 5,000 animals are euthanized in
    European zoos each year. Next, Early in the pandemic, a Zoo in northern Germany coolly
    announced an emergency plan to cope with lost revenue by feeding some animals to other
    animals, compressing the food chain at the zoo. Is this what they call conservation of
    endangered species or are these caged animals mere tools of financial gain for big
    organizations!! Well the answer is pretty clear!

    Our zoo advocates also say that zoos instill love for animals among children and adults. But
    there’s no evidence that zoos are making visitors care more about conservation. Ironically,
    more than 700 million people visit zoos worldwide every year, and yet biodiversity is still in
    decline .
    With this I rest my case!
