In our local zoos, even though they have food to eat, animals like lions, tigers and monkeys are actually confined to tight space like cages and thus they cannot move, run, climb,hunt or play around like they did in their natural habitat, which will damage their health. Second, it’s also badfor their mental health. As we all know, many animals are social species and live in groups innature. So, staying at the zoo will make them feel very lonely, which may cause some chronic mental illness.

　　原答案：

　　I disagree with the statement and I believe zoos are doing more harm to animals than good.

　　Firstly, it’s not good for their physical health. As I saw in a local zoo where the animals like lions, tigers and monkeys were actually confined to small places like cages, they cannot move around or running around or playing around like they did in the wild habitat. So I think it’s not good for their body health.

　　Second, it’s not good for their mental health, either. As we all know, animals are mostly gregarious, they want social life. So I think, staying in the zoo, they will actually feel very lonely. It’s not good for their mental health. They will catch some long-term diseases. (122words)
