    I think strongily that the Zoo is the worst plaace to live
    Because:

    The Zoo is for Animals and we do not belong there.If we lived ther it would be smely
    and you would have to but up with the animals yelling and making noises all day.
    Also it good be good with the Animals to play with and mabye if they are good you
    good play with the tigers and mabye the dogs also. And in the water you could play with the
    sharks and the eels woulden it be fun living with the animals and playing footy with
    them during the day

    so make your disure if you would like to live in the Zoo or just stay at home with your
    mum and dad. That would be boring.
