Somepeople think zoos are cruel and all the zoos should be closed. However, somepeople think zoos are useful to protect the rare animals. Discuss both viewsand give your opinion.一些人认为动物园是很残忍的应该关闭，另外一些人认为动物园可以帮助保护动物。讨论双方观点并给出自己的观点。

话题解析

正方

1) 在人工环境下保护动物是动物园的主要目的(Protecting animals in artificial environment is the main purpose of zoos.)。动物, 特别是珍稀动物rare animals 在灭绝(die out)前正面临被保护的迫切需要(in urgent need of )。

2) 动物园也可作为⼈们对动物属性和生存条件的教育基地 (Zoos also function as places wherepeople can be educated about the attributes of animals and specific conditionsin which they can survive.)。 动物园也发挥了科研的重要作用。

3) 在动物园里, 科学家们可以对动物进行持续和有系统的实验(conduct continuousand systematic experiment) , 看看他们在什么样的条件下可以住得舒适。这有助于保护珍惜动物免遭灭绝。

反方

出于娱乐人类目的的动物园没有存在的理由。人类为了欣赏动物的萌态，强行把他们抓进动物园，保存多物种，这对动物所产生的身体和尊严伤害是可耻的。
