主题：Do you think it is acceptable to keep wild animals in a zoo?

On one hand, I think it's terrible that wild animals are brought to captivity for zoos coz the living conditions can be no better than a prison to them. On the other hand, a prosperous zoo in a large city can provide better accommodations for the animals and meanwhile raise public awareness about conservation needs and efforts.

Captivity: 囚禁
Prosperous: 发展良好的
Public awareness: 公众意识
Conservation: 保护
