As some argue this is a way to save an animal from extinction, others may argue the unnecessary need to cut down rain forests and turning green field land into buildable land is simply not needed. The idea of using extinction as a reason for the existence of Zoo’s is what this essay will be evaluating. The aim of this paper is to highlight the issues and problems found in the world, in terms of protecting animals by creating supposedly ‘habitable caged environments’ whilst linking animal to humans. Evaluating why there became ...
