Animals in captivity

Do you think animals should be in the wild or captivity? In my opinion I think that animals should be in both wild and captivity according to the circumstances. I believe this because animals can be safer in captivity, some animals can be put in the right or wrong habitat, we should consider to what habitat animals are in, some animals don’t get the experience other animals get in the wild, both  sides should be thought about animals in the wild or captivity.

Animals in captivity can be safer. For example in the book Owen And Mzee, Owen was found after a tsunami and was checked eminently. This shows that people found him and took care of him.

Animals in captivity such as a sanctuary have their needs met of not met, animals can be put in the right or wrong habitat. For instance according to the text Ivan, Ivan was put in a shopping mall and did not have anymore gorillas to accompany him. This shows that some zoos do not care for what the habitat is for some animals and some habitats do not support the life of some species. Another example is in the book Owen And Mzee, Owen was put in a boma with leaves, trees, water, and other animals. That was the same habitat he was in before he went to Haller Park. This shows that the workers at Haller park care for all the animals that come to there.

Animals in captivity such as a zoo, don’t get the experience other animals get in the wild. For example in the text the owl article It said that owl cafes are not the best for owls because owls love flying and hunting but they can not do that in such a small space, but animals in the wild can do anything they want to do. This shows that owl cafes can not be healthy for owls. Another example in Ivan, Ivan was not able to roam, climb trees, and be with other gorillas when he was in the first shopping mall. This means that he could not live a long life because he did not have a friend and he did not have trees to exercise on. 

In conclusion, I strongly believe that animals should be in both wild and captivity according to the circumstances. Animals can be safer, they can be put in the right or wrong habitat, animals don’t get the experience other animals get in the wild. Remember to take care of your own pets.
