People began to keep animals in zoos over 3,000 years before, when the rulers
of China opened an enormous zoo called the Gardens of Intelligence. In much of
the early zoos, animals taught to perform for the visitors. This no longer
happens and it is accepted that the purpose of zoos are for people to see animals
behaving natural.
Today, most cities have a zoo or wildlife park. However, not everybody
approves of zoos. Person who think that zoos are a good idea say they provide
us for the opportunity to learn about the natural world and be close to wild
animals. Both of these would not be possible with zoos. On the other hand, some
people disapprove of zoos because they believe it is wrong putting animals in
cages, and argue that in zoos where are not managed properly, animals live in dirty
conditions and eat suitable food. Trang 4/6

valley is still secure and safe.
