I truly believe that the Houston Zoo is a great place for children. In no other place will they get to see wild animals, or just in general the type of animals they see here. In the Zoo, littles kids will not be frightened to come close to a dangerous animal because they are in cages, and I think that this is also safe for them as long as they have adult supervision. In fact, the children get a chance to touch some animals and even play with them somtimes unlike when you find these animals in the wilderness. Also, these kids get to learn about certain animals and they get an idea of the place where they live.
I know that the Zoo is a wonderful place, but I have to take in consideration that some of these animals may be treated unfairly. We do get to enjoy watching these animals but we do not know what they suffer when we aren't there. Even though they may be treated poorly I don't think it is that bad for them because I mean they get fed, and they have a place where to live. Some animals even have their family there. After all, the Houston Zoo is a wonderful place for children to go and visit.
