tokens: The zoo deserves maintenance and public respect For a long time, the zoo has been a second home to endangered animals . However, other people believe that the existence of zoos is next to nothing . In my opinion, the zoo deserves maintenance and public respect for two specific reasons . First of all, the zoo should be considered as a means of education with regard to providing real and vivid materials for learners . With zoos, pupils will have a chance of observing the habit and unique instinct of, for instance, a lion or a crocodile . At a higher level, it is of university students' benefits to do biological research based on practical statistics and live recordings, which otherwise would not be at hand . This means that the zoos conduce to the acquisition of knowledge at various levels . Secondly, the zoo also serve as a means of ecological protection . Nowadays the process of globalisation is accompanied by the encroachment upon natural habitats, which consequently calls for the help of zoos . What is more, the ever-increasing huntings are having a heavy toll on rare and specious species . Only when zoos appear are such distinction-driven animals as: giraffe, panda, koala or leopard provided with their own inaccessible territory . In sum, the role of zoos towards both human and animals is undeniably indispensable . It is highly recommended that zoos should be seen with different perspective in order to function at their most efficiency .
