IELTS WRITING TASK 2 (AC + GT)
Zoos are inhumane and should be abolished. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Give reasons for your answer, and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
SAMPLE ANSWER
Many people believe that there should be no zoos because they are cruel to animals, and I agree with this opinion. Zoos are like jails for wild animals that should live free, and at the same time they are completely unnecessary because we can see and learn about animals in their natural habitat.
Wild animals are born to live freely in the wild. Each different kind of animal is adapted to live in its specific habitat. It has the skills it needs to survive and live happily in the place where it was born. If you take a wild animal from its natural habitat and put it in a zoo, it is like putting it in jail. Zoos try to make areas for their animals that are similar to their natural habitats, but they are only imitations. In addition, the animals are not free to move beyond the walls of their cages. A zoo is nothing like an animal’s wild home, and living in a zoo must be very depressing for the animals.
People say that zoos are important for research, but I don’t believe this is true. It may be easier for researchers to observe animals when they are in a zoo. However, since a zoo is not an animal’s natural home, you cannot assume that a zoo animal’s behavior is natural. The only way to see how animals really behave is to study them in the wild. Therefore, research is not a reason to have zoos.
In my opinion, all zoos should be shut down. It is cruel to keep animals locked up in cages. Zoos are also not the best places to do research on animals. I can see no good reason for the existence of zoos.
