Happy, an Asian elephant, lives at the Bronx Zoo, in New York City. But the Bronx Zoo was taken to court (法庭) because it doesn’t provide the space and socialization that Happy needs. The case has restarted discussions about whether or not zoos should still be there.

Many animals are saved from dying out thanks to zoos. This past summer, I saw the California condor(秃鹰) at the San Diego Zoo and learned about the breeding(繁育)program there. Scores of years ago,these birds were almost wiped out in the wild. But the zoo has taken some of them in and helped them breed. Now there are many more California condors.

In zoos, animals might not be provided with proper living conditions. They might also be mistreated for entertainment(娱乐). Animals can feel stressed by the cage, an unfamiliar environment, and the presence of humans. A 2003 study of 35 kinds of animals found that zoo cages were too small for some of the animals to do their daily activities.

Zoos provide animals with food and a place that is made by copying their natural living areas. And most zoos have educational programs that help humans learn about different animals and protection efforts.

Animals are kept away from their natural homes, where they can run free, and put in limited areas or cages. If it's a crowded day at the zoo, some animals might get nervous or frightened. When they're in zoos, they can also lose their natural characters. If they were set free into the wild, they wouldn't know how to survive. An animal's health is more important than our entertainment.
