A comparative/contrast paragraph


Sex Pistols and Johnny Rotten Rostropovich both work in the world of the music but they have many differences that I am going to compare. First of all, the style of Sex Pistols' music are not the same as  the Rostropovich's music, since the first one are experts in punk and rock music and the second one play classical music. Secondly, we can see in images  that Sex Pistols wear casual and scruffy clothes while Rostropovich wears formal and smart clothes with shirt, jeans and a tie. In addition, Sex Pistols are a band formed by four musicians while Rostropovich is only a soloist. Then, instruments that are played by Sex Pistols are different from Rostropovich's instruments, since the band play the guitar, drums, etc and the soloist only play the cello. Another difference is that Sex Pistols, as well as they play instruments, they sing. In contrast, Rostropovich does not sing, only play cello. Although they are different styles of music, both are famous musicians who earn money for it.

Are we sure that endangered animals are safe in zoos?

http://www.animanaturalis.org/p/1416

Zoos can be great for people who enjoy looking at animals, even thare are persons that think animals are protected there. However, they are not the best option for saving endangered animals.

First of all, the most important fact that makes animals disappear is the changing of their own habitat. Most of them are not safe in zoos because they are in an artificial habitat and the conditions are not the same. For example, birds cannot fly long distances freely as they are used, aquatic animals have little water to swim as usual or many other species which are used to living in big groups of family are locked in cages, many times alone.

Secondly, I have to say that nowadays zoos are improving conditions for animals but it is not enough. Moreover, not all zoos have appropriate conservation ideas since, in many cases, zoo owners are more concerned by the profits than the animal welfare and this endanger animals.

So, I consider that the best idea would be to move zoo animals to natural enclosures with reputable breeders to get the protection that they need, specially of hunters. Besides, I think that zoos should disappear because animals only suffer inside of these tiny cages.

In conclusion, zoos are not the most correct way of saving endangered animals because they are treated poorly. Therefore, natural eclosures are the best manner to conserve species.
