LIFE IN THE ZOO
Zoos have existed for many years. Many people are against them
because animalsare caged there. They say it is cruel to keep savage
animals in cages. Someanimals get restless having such a little
space to live in. They don't have to hunt forfood and tear their
prey into pieces. They feed on what is given to them as
regularmeals. If they were set fretthey wouldn't know how to'stalk
their prey. Animalsthat were born in polar regions don't feel well
when they're moved into a zoo in awarmer climate. And what about
the fastest of all animals? If a cheetah were set freeafter a few
years in a zoo it would be difficult for it to outrun its prey.
