Last Sunday the elephant keeper at London Zoo, Jim Robson, was killed by one of the elephants he loved．This was terrible, and it could be a big problem for the future(将来)of London Zoo-and maybe for all of Britain's city zoos．
London Zoo said that it would move its three elephants to a wild(野生的)animal park outside London．Its director-general(总经理), Michael Dioxn, said,“We are sorry that the elephants are leaving; there have been elephants at Lon-don Zoo since 1831．”
One British newspaper said that though many small animals were very interesting, most people wanted to see big animals－and most of all elephants．
London Zoo is not only losing its elephants．The tigers will also leave soon and most of the bears(熊)have already gone．Outside the elephant house at London Zoo, a woman called Mary said she hoped the zoo could keep big animals．“This is the only way the young people can see animals without travelling to other countries,”she said．
Zoos are not very good places for animals, but they can help to well keep them．Children can also learn a lot about the animals when they visit zoos．
Another visitor, a man called Alan, was very angry．“If we send them back to the wild they will die．If you take away big animals, people will stop visiting London Zoo．It can survive(继续生存)at the moment, but it won't survive in the future．”
However, Mary Rosevear, directory of the Federation(联合会)of Zoos, believes(相信)that city zoos can survive without keeping large animals．
