In response to The Environment and Wild Animals.

Depriving animals of their natural habitat and freedom is definitely immoral. These animals are also God’s living creatures, and they deserve to be treated kindly. Wild animals have lived here longer than humans, so we are essentially stealing from them.
Zoos and aquariums are a good place to help endangered species and animals that are facing too many predators, mostly people, come back stronger. Zoos and aquariums are also a good place for scientists to learn more about the animals and how they could possibly help them. They also help spread awareness about these endangered animals to other animal lovers that visit these establishments. However, zoos and aquariums should not be viewed as a complete alternative to wild animals’ natural homes.
The government should control human activity that is harming animals. They should do more to help reduce the need for deforestation, and restore areas that have already been destroyed by people. There should also be stricter laws put in place about pollution, and more clean-up projects should be planned.
People should stop destroying animals’ habitats to build more homes, stores, etc. We have already taken enough of the Earth’s land. Hunting, trapping for fur, and using wild animals for entertainment and pets should also be stopped. Everyone should do their part to help protect the environment and wild animals.
