  Zoos are not very good places for animals, but they can help to well keep them.Children can also learn a lot about the animals when they visit zoos.

  Another visitor, a man called Alan, was very angry.“If we send them back to the wild they will die.If you take away big animals, people will stop visiting London Zoo.It can survive(继续生存)at the moment, but it won't survive in the future.”
