Many animals are dying from hunger. Is there a way to stop this. In my opinion, I strongly believe that animals should be taken care of in captivity. I believe this because animals are safer from extinction, animals don’t have to hunt for there own food, and they are safer from injuries. Also they can heal easier.
Animals in captivity, such as at a zoo, are safer from extinction. For example, in the article Mexico hopes to catch, protect last few world’s smallest porpoises, the specie of fish that was in Mexico were getting killed. Now hunting that specie of fish is now illegal. Another example is in the article endangered species Giant Panda. Pandas were getting killed, and the Giant Panda were rare and endangered. Once the Giant Pandas were they were in preserves the Giant Panda were safer from extinction. This means animals are safer from extinction in captivity.
Animals in captivity , such as at a sanctuary do not have to hunt for their own food for instance in the book Owen and Mzee, Owen and Mzee ate leafs off trees together. Another example is in the article Ivan, Ivan ate food at the zoo. Also at the Milwaukee Public Zoo, zoo keepers feed the animals this means animals do not have to hunt for their own food in captivity.
Animals in captivity, such as at a nature preserve are safer from injuries, for instance in the article Owen and Mzee. Owen was taken to Holler park after a tsunami hit were he lived, and Owen got stuck in a coral reef. When he got stuck it was a possibility that he would have died. Another example is in the article Ivan. Ivan was taken to a zoo to be safe, and he would not be alone like he was in the mall. Also he would not get injuries from the food he ate. This means animals are safer from injuries in captivity.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that animals can live a content life in captivity. In captivity animals are safer from injuries, they don’t have to hunt for their own food, and they are safer from extinction. You can keep animals safe in captivity by donating to your local zoo or a animal sanctuary.
