[1518 이은채] I agree with your opinion to be against abolishing the zoo. However, it is questionable that it is right to maintain the current zoo system for the sake of children's education, despite countless animals living in cages for life under enormous stress. I think we should not abolish zoos entirely, but also change the current human-centered zoo system.

이은채 : Thank you for writing first.
I agree that zoos destroy the animal ecosystem.
But instead, zoos can be a comfortable haven for animals that are hard to live in the wild.
And if you decorate the zoo with nature, it's not a prison.
I think it's more a means for animals.

(1802 김나영) Your essay was impressive and I respect your opinion. But my opinion is different. I think your first argument that 'zoos provide children with various things to enjoy' only focus on children not animals. The shows children would show in zoos are very backbreaking shows. For the show, animals have to go through rigorous training. And you said zoos can protect endangered animals. Maybe they can but they don't. For example, only two out of ten zoos in our country are said to be pursuing policies on the protection and preservation of animal habitats. So I think that the current zoos have very little concern in the management and conservation of endangered animals. Lastly, the third argument that destruction of the zoo system can lead to economic loss is also focusing on financial part of our country not on the endangered animals rights. Originally, zoos are not the place for tourist attraction.

I love you too, but can not agree with the idea. First of all, the zoo said that it gives children various pleasures, but animals are not toys. The only thing that makes animals happy is humans. Think about how you feel about animals. It may be a good experience for us and a learning experience, but it is a stress and a threat to animals
