My name is Peter. When I was a small

child, I thought that I was the luckiest person in the world — we lived near

the zoo and I could go there whenever I wanted. And I wanted to go there every

day! The zoo was another world to me. It was a great way to escape the reality

of a big city with its skyscrapers and highways.

Then I grew older and realized a lot of

things. The animals in cages have never seen the great environment they belong

to. They felt nervous with the visitors' eyes on them

all the time but there was no shelter on their territory. That

actually made me look at the zoo from another angle. Should zoos exist?

I'm still in two minds over that. On the

one hand, life in the zoo is like serving a life sentence — there's no hope of

the animals returning home. That's definitely unfair. On the other hand, zoos

are a place where children can be taught about different animals. It's also

true that zoos can save some species from extinction. The media says that when

the animals are old enough they can be returned to the wild.
