Nature is a beautiful thing to me. One might say, what is nature? Well, to me, nature is everything in our environment that has life. Plants even have life. The first thing that comes to mind for me personally are animals. I just imagine a variety of animals in all types of climate and place. The other concept that comes to mind is total freedom.
The zoo is not something I would personally consider nature. Yes, there are many animals that we would not normally see, but we are caging up living, exotic, and powerful creatures that thrive on freedom. There are two main arguments used in the debate between whether zoos are inhumane or not. One argument could be said like, "What if the animal is sick or hurting?" At this point I could see about keeping certain animals in captivity until they get better, but once they get better they should be released back out in the their natural habitat. Keeping them after they have been healed just for personal viewing pleasure. |
