Nowadays, zoos are among the places that people, especially children, want to visit the most. Instincts, exotic animals, and various wild animal species are on display here. How did you feel about the animals housed in cages during your visit? Are the animals that have been captured living in their new home in a way that makes their lives better? These unresolved issues continue to cast doubt on the public’s opinion of zoos. Zoos were built with the intention of saving animals, but detractors have found that they aren’t doing a good job at it. Thus, animal welfare is typically violated in zoos.
Laura Fravel (2003) claimed that “Zoos have acted as safe havens for many endangered species. But many critics call it ‘foul’, saying zoos have stepped far beyond conservation.” This implies that zoos’ role towards animal conservation is becoming alarming due to some identified scenarios that have a devastating negative impact on wildlife. According to Hancocks (2018) of National Geographic, the budget for zoos is spent more on infrastructure that lures visitors. Therefore, animals’ welfare, as a priority, is compromised. This is supported by Benjamin Beck, who claimed that conservation efforts are not always successful since reintroduction programs worldwide for restoring animal populations to the wild are carried out by government agencies, not zoos. Laidlaw, R. & MIBiol, C. (2000) also claimed that zoos are still menageries where animals receive less attention and care, especially since they are given small spaces. He supported the idea that zoos really keep animals alive but cannot maintain the behavioral and social interactions they need. On the other hand, according to In Defense of Animals, experts agree that zoos do more harm than good. This implies that zoos are now businesses rather than conservation organizations. Animals in zoos live in perpetual captivity and lack access to all of the things that make life interesting and enjoyable. Animals are deprived of their natural habitat, replacing charismatic megafauna for the sake of spectators. Also, animals’ behaviors, socialization, decisions, desires, and abilities are restricted, which is considered animal abuse.
When I think about the reality of zoos, I see animals as analogous to people who are denied access to the real world, where they can grow and explore. I understand the anguish of knowing that no matter how beautiful and aesthetic your surroundings are, if they are artificially made and constructed, you will never be satisfied. It would only cause you stress, anxiety, and depression, especially knowing that this scenic beauty was created for the enjoyment of others rather than your own benefits of living life to the fullest. Animals, like humans, require natural shelter and an environment in which they can make their own living. They must do it in their actual homes. We, like humans, need to find ways to feel at home when we are in different places. We have our family to lean on at home, to share our joys and sorrows, and to enjoy the available resources. Hence, animals need these too. We may not be able to hear their voices, but we can feel their emotions as they express what they truly require. Hence, zoos must be reinvented as sanctuaries. As a result, zoos must only house animals that cannot be kept in captivity, such as confiscated illegal exotic animals used as pets, injured animals that cannot be returned to the wild, and street-abandoned animals. In this manner, zoos could in fact function as real saviors of the wild, maximizing animal welfare.

TITLE
General Purpose: To inform
Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about the three branches of the federal government
INTRODUCTION
Attention Getter: Pull the audience in and secure their attention by using a question (rhetorical or reactionary), a startling statistic, a story (hypothetical or real), humor or video/audio file.
Audience-Topic Connection: This is the reason WHY the audience should listen. How does it connect to them?
Credibility Statement: Tell the audience why they should listen to YOU. Are you an expert? Have you done a great deal of research? Are you involved in this topic in some way? Did you have an experience that allowed you to gain firsthand knowledge about this subject?
Preview Statement: Give the audience a hint of what’s to come by simply stating your main points from the body of your speech.
Transition Sentence: Share with the audience that you are moving into the body of your speech and ready to highlight your first main point.
BODY
First Main Point: State your first main point here.
Add subpoints that support your main point making sure that you use only ONE sentence (not multiple) for each main point, subpoint or sub-subpoint as you see demonstrated in this template outline.
Continue adding subpoints that support your first main point.
To develop strong support for your main point, at least 3 subpoints are required for my class.
You may need to add sub-subpoints, too.
Sub-subpoints provide more details about the subpoint above it and must be indented as you see here.
When you use subpoints or sub-subpoints, you must add at least two of them at a time as a general rule of thumb.
Make sure your points are balanced so that no main point is light while the others are well defined.
Also, your outline will be unique to your speech; you may have mostly main points with a few subpoints while someone else may have main points supported by both subpoints and sub-subpoints.
Focus more on making sure you have sufficiently provided enough details to support each main point and that your outline points are balanced.
Remember, you can only have one sentence per point (at any level).
Transition Sentence: Write a sentence that alerts your audience that you finished the previous point and are moving on to the next one.
Second Main Point: State your second main point here.
Use the same rules under the First Main Point to complete this section.
Add subpoints that support your main point above and, if needed, sub-subpoints (at least two) that support the subpoint above it.
Transition Sentence: Write a sentence that alerts your audience that you finished the previous point and are moving on to the next one.
Third Main Point: State your third main point here.
Use the same rules under the First Main Point to complete this section.
Add subpoints that support your main point above and, if needed, sub-subpoints (at least two) that support the subpoint above it.
CONCLUSION
Recap: Restate the main points made in the preview sentence to remind the audience what you covered in your speech. The conclusion does not have a one-sentence limit like the body of the speech. Use as many as you like.
Closing Remark: It is the final, brief statement summing up the main message.
