We need zoos! To keep our endangered species safe from predators, well fed and safe from poachers. Firstly, our endangered species are already at risk of becoming extinct, so zoos are a benefit for keeping them safe from predators e.g. the kiwi, stoats and ferrets are killing them so now there are only 70,000 left worldwide. Secondly, we need to keep our animals well fed so they don’t starve to death in the wild .e.g. the orangutan is at risk of starving because of people buying too much food with palm oil in it. And the polar bear is at risk because the ice is melting so they can’t catch food. Thirdly ,our endangered/native animals are at risk of extinction because of poachers their skins and horns are being ripped out to be sold in shops to make rugs, medicine and souvenirs some are even killed for nothing! Its utterly frightening! Therefore, we need zoos to protect our endangered species safe and keep them well fed and away from poachers.
