Persuasive writing: Why animals shouldn't be held in captivity

Tuesday 23 August 2016

In my opinion animals should not be held in captivity. I will provide you with many reasons as to why animals should not be held in captivity.

Tigers are born to hunt , they are natural predators. By keeping them in the zoo they will lose their natural ability to hunt. If you release them from the zoo they will because they don't know how hunt. In the zoo the food is provided and this is not good for them. This is how they lose their natural ability. If you keep them in captivity , Tigers will become lazy because they are not getting enough exercise. In the wild they move around and they are more active. Surely you will agree with me tigers are better off in the wild.  

The food provided in the zoo has lots of chemicals because it is processed food. It makes them sick and lazy. In their natural habitat , food is naturally provided for animals. This makes the animals strong and healthy. Surely you would agree with that the natural environment is the right place for the animals.

In the zoo people throw objects at the animals. This makes them angry and want to attack. There have been incidents when animals have attacked zoo attendants and people visiting the zoo. This is not good for the animals and the people.

This can make the animals sick and unhealthy and also
