Argument writing

Kia ora bloggers! For the past two weeks our class has been writing arguments for the speech contest. I wrote one with a buddy. My buddy was Lilly. Together we wrote an argument about why zoos are good. Sadly when it came to judging we didn't get chosen to go to Kaikohe. Instead Willow and Depla are going to Kaikohe. Here is my argument:
Why zoos are good

Have you ever been to a zoo? A zoo is a place where humans hold animals in separate enclosures so none of them will get hurt by each other and so humans can can come and see them. Well, I believe that zoos are good. Here are some reasons why.

Firstly, a zoo is like a sanctuary for sick or injured animals just like a hospital. Zoos have great vets to look after the animals. If you were an animal living at the zoo you would know you were going to be looked after. If the animals were in the wild they would die of sickness because there are no vets in the wild. Also, after the zoo vets have healed an animal, sometimes they release them back into the wild.

Secondly, they have breeding programs for endangered animals to increase their family. So none of the animals will be extinct. If the animals were in the wild it would be harder to find a mate to breed with. We need more zoos in the world to save exotic species. For example there are only 7,100 cheetahs left in the world. We need to save animals and  not let poachers keep on killing them.

Finally, zoos educate people about the beauty of animals. Every person should know about animals so they respect them ,understand them and don’t hurt them. And everyone knows if you want to know more about animals, you just go to a zoo.

So, I sure hope you agree with me that zoos are good because they are safe places for animals, they help bring more endangered animals into the world and they teach us all about our planet’s greatest treasure-the amazing life forms that live on our earth. C’mon people, let’s look after our zoos and help them look after the animals.
