My dream vacation is a two-week trip to Europe. During her I would like to visit Finland, Sweden, Germany, Italy, France and Spain.
At first glance, it may seem that it is impossible to fulfill this plan in 14 days, but my mother works at a travel agency, and she knows that there are special bus tours around European cities. That's exactly the trip I would like to go with my parents.

Zoos provide a rare and unique opportunity to peer into the wild without actually traveling to distant locations around the world, searching for often very rare animals. One of the central advantages --- at least in terms of human advantages --- lay in the education that people receive when visiting a zoo. They receive firsthand knowledge of how animals behave and act. The zoos usually have information describing the animal, its history and natural location. Learning about animals also brings empathy to many people, raising awareness about their endangerment in the wild, which can often be attributed to human causes.Zoos often take an active approach in helping animal populations.Many animals have been tremendously helped this way, including famous zoo residents such as the white tiger and panda bear.The downside to keeping animals in a zoo is the captivity they face.No matter how nice the zoo is, room is limited for zoo animals, which can be especially troublesome for large animals that are prone to roaming.Taking animals out of their habitat serves as an ethical issue because of its focus on human benefit as opposed to animal benefit, with the exceptions of captive breeding and freeing animals from an otherwise dangerous situation.Although most zoos are built as nice abodes, others lacking proper maintenance can create poor living conditions for animals.More common in developing countries, these zoos' poor upkeep can encourage disease and poor animal health.
