dear editor,
after reading the two letters, i realize that i must say something about animals and zoos. i don’t agree with disgusted. in fact, many animals only eat once a day or once every few days, so feeding them just once a day is not a problem at all. i think zoos are very important to animals. they can stop many endangered animals from being killed or hunted. they can provide man with places for research work. also we can visit the animals in the zoos to learn some knowledge to protect the animals better.
sincerely,
