The Pros And Cons Of Zoos

The zoo is the place to see some of the most dangerous predators, majestic birds, skittish herbivores, and the sheer beauty of the animal kingdom and some of the deadliest snakes in the world just on the other side of a glass or just observed from a couple yards away. People say that the animals should be freed and sent back to their natural habitats. Others say that these animals should stay there because they are protected from poaching, bring the numbers back from endangered species, getting good nutrients from the foods they eat there. However that is not the truth of what happens when the gates are closed to the public, or what goes on behind the scenes.

In the introduction of this argument I start by connecting with the reader by showing

There is an act that has a range of cage sizes that are required for all zoos to fallow but these zoos will pick the smallest cage sizes because the act says that the animals must be able to make normal postural have enough freedom to move around, and interact with the same species of animals. The act also has some ways that can be wrong, that is by the animals are feeling stressed in poor conditions (like cleanliness, etc.) Which brings me to my next point about the animals having these feeling that they would not encounter that much in the wild.

The paragraph that was just read has some logos and pathos. How I establish logos is there are parts of the paragraph were I use pieces of the Animal Welfare Act. There is also pathos in this paragraph showing the reader that the animals are kept in small confined spaces. I also try to keep the reader flowing in to the next part by organizing it that the last paragraph and this next paragraph flow smoothly

Why all of these animals that live in the zoos are under so much stress the constant being watched by people that will take pictures of them, the sheer amount of people that will come up to the railing and yell or scream for them to do something while they just sit there. Why do you think that the animals are always sleeping in their exhibits? Because they are tired? No it is because they are bored and have nothing really to do. Think about it we have all been kids once. When it was your birthday or Christmas and get a new toy we would wear that thing out till it was no fun anymore and move on with other toys or other things laying around. These animals don’t get new “toys” every Christmas, they have the same toys that they have since the beginning and have warren out their time with them and can’t move on to the next toy. But not all the time are these animals bored my family and I were at the zoo and we came across these two animals called fossa, and these two fossae were have a game of tag where the littler one would chase around the bigger one and we stud there for a good ten minutes watching these fossae chasing around one another, then we moved on and that was the best part about the zoo that
