In this IELTS Zoo Essay you have to discuss whether you think zoos are cruel and should be shut down or whether they are useful as they protect some wild animals.
Essays on zoos have appeared in the IELTS test before and this was a question that was recently in the test.
Some people think that zoos are all cruel and should be closed down. Others however believe that zoos can be useful in protecting wild animals.
Discuss both opinions and give your own opinion.
You must always read the question carefully and note if there is anything restricting the topic.
You have to discuss both sides of the argument and with this zoo essay question it would be very easy to read it and then simply write about the benefits and drawbacks of zoos.
But look at this bit carefully:
One of the arguments is specifically about protecting animals. So when you discuss the second argument you must be careful not to just write generally about the advantage of zoos.
You have to focus on how they may protect wild animals . So when you brainstorm your ideas for the zoo essay, you should be thinking about:
And in your other body paragraph you would need to explain why they are also seen as cruel.
And of course you must remember to give your own opinion. In this essay, the author makes it clear at the beginning that they support the closing down of zoos.
The opinion you decide on though is of course your choice.
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own experience or knowledge.
Write at least 250 words.
Zoos remain popular places for people to visit for entertainment and to learn about wild animals. Although some people are of the opinion that zoos can provide a sanctuary for endangered animals and so should be kept open, I believe that the cruelty that animals suffer outweighs this benefit, and that they should be shut down.
These days, animals are under threat from humans in many ways, seen for example in the way that their habitats are being destroyed through the cutting down of rain forests, or through poaching. Following on from this, the argument is that zoos can protect some of these animals that are under threat. The reason is that they are in a safe environment managed by trained staff who can ensure the animals are looked after and can produce offspring. There are examples of successes in this respect, such as with Pandas, which have been endangered for many years but have been protected.
However, there are more convincing arguments for why zoos should be shut down. Firstly, even though some species are under threat, there are lots of animals which do not fall into this category and who are there just for the entertainment of visitors. While it may be fun and educational to see them, animals are not meant to be caged, and their distress can often be seen in the way many of them pace back and forwards all day. Not only this, if the prime reason of zoos is to protect animals, this could be done in other environments such as wild life parks where the animals have more freedom.
In conclusion, animals should be protected but this does not have to be in zoos. Zoos are cruel to animals, not similar enough to their natural habitat, and they should be closed down.

Law & Policy Policy
Debates about the ethics of zoos abound — but when it comes to animal welfare, there are certainly more cons than pros.
Explainer • Entertainment • Policy
Words by Björn Ólafsson
For many people, zoos are the only chance they’ll have in their entire lives to see beautiful animals native to far-flung ecosystems — lions, elephants, pandas, lemurs — the list goes on. And they’re popular — over 181 million people visit a U.S. zoo every year . But zoos face criticism from animal welfare organizations and environmental activists for inhumane treatment of the animals they claim to protect. Zoos maintain that they are important aspects of conservation and education.
So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of zoos ? Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of these controversial organizations.
First, not all zoos are created equal. While it is easy to imagine animal ethics as a binary of evil and moral, zoos can vary widely on how they treat their animals, how much space they are given and how the animals are obtained. Still, most zoos tend to have the same positives and negatives overall.
Poor conditions for animals.
Animals Often Only Have Quite Limited Space
Many zoos’ enclosures are too small, especially for animal species that are used to roaming, flying or swimming large distances in the wild. For example, polar bears are used to home ranges of about 1,000 square kilometers in the wild — large swaths of land and ice they enjoy exploring . In zoos, they get a couple hundred square feet.
Zoos Are Crowded
In addition to limited space, many zoos cram in as many animals as possible into the enclosures. Many visitors prefer seeing animals up close, instead of peering at them from afar, hidden in their dens or nests. This encourages zoos to increase the number of animals per exhibit, increasing the likelihood of visitors seeing animals on the move near the boundaries of the enclosure.
Animals Are Trapped in Unnatural Environments
Anyone who has visited a zoo knows the exhibits are a far cry from the natural landscape they are trying to imitate. Nearly all zoo enclosures contain fences, glass or other barriers for visitors to look through, which are inherently artificial. And the natural-seeming landscapes can sometimes be made out of astroturf, concrete or plastic.
Confinement May Alter the Behavior of Animals
The lack of space, unnatural environments and crowded conditions can directly affect the behavior of animals ; most notably in the form of what’s known as “stereotypy.” Stereotypy is a condition in which non-human animals engage in repetitive behaviors with no apparent purpose, such as pacing for hours on end, wagging tails abnormally or picking their own fur.
The structure of zoos increases the likelihood of stereotypic behavior due to a lack of enrichment, mundane environments and boring, repetitive schedules. This prevalence of stereotypy in zoos even has its own name: “zoochosis,” or psychosis caused by zoos .
‘Surplus’ Animals Can Be Killed
After an animal has reproduced successfully and the zoo no longer requires the animal to maintain an exhibit, the animal is deemed “surplus.” At this point, the animal’s welfare is no longer profitable . Zoos can sell the animal to private owners (who may keep the animal in tiny cages for amusement or kill the animal for taxidermy purposes), sell the animal to other zoos or enclosures, or “euthanize” the animal.
Animals Are Often Mistreated
Animal mistreatment is much more than hitting or beating an animal. It also includes harmful training techniques, separation from family members and forcing animals to behave in abnormal ways.
In a report from World Animal Protection, three-fourths of zoos include human-animal interactions , many of which can be very stressful or physically harmful for animals. In some extreme cases, visitors rode on the backs of animals (causing injury) or encroached on the animals’ enclosure (causing stress).
Investigations into popular zoos sometimes reveal that caretakers don’t always clean the exhibits frequently , leaving the animals to live near their feces. The research also reveals many zookeepers hitting animals who “misbehave,” and not helping animals with injuries sustained in the enclosures. While not all animal caretakers behave this way, the reporting suggests many zoos around the world are lax with animal welfare.
Animals Don’t Like Being Visited
The mere presence of human beings can negatively affect wild animals, especially in massive crowds that are common at zoos. Being bombarded by the sounds, smells and appearances of swaths of humans can trigger the stress responses of some animals . Some studies show that the number of visitors correlates with the amount of stress hormones in many animal species.
Animals Struggle to Form Connections
Many animals are highly social creatures. Elephants, lions, pigs, cows and many more species are shown to have complex connections, hierarchies and relationships with members of their own kind — especially with friends and family. However, zoo animals rarely stay with the same herd or family for their entire lives. Instead, zoos opt to transfer, sell, buy or relocate animals throughout their lifespans, making it difficult for animals to form social connections . This lack of bonding can harm the animals emotionally.
Zoos Are for Humans, Not Animals
Most zoos are for-profit enterprises, meaning they have one goal in mind: maximizing revenue. It is easy to see how making more money can come at the expense of animal welfare. For example, a zoo is unlikely to fund an exhibit expansion if it isn’t cost-effective, regardless of its benefits for the animals inside. While many zookeepers form real bonds with their animal companions, the animals still exist under a for-profit, human-centered organization.
Zoos Promote Human Superiority
The aesthetic nature of zoos — animals in panopticon-like enclosures, viewed 24/7 by members of a different species — can reinforce human superiority. As moral philosopher Lori Gruen writes in her book, “visitors leave the zoo more convinced than ever of human superiority over the natural world.” Of course, zoos also reinforce the idea that humans have a right to take away animals’ freedom and bodily autonomy.
Zoos Don’t Always Help with Conservation — Some Wild Animals Have to Be Caught to Bring Them to Zoos
Many animals in zoos are born in captivity, but that’s not the case for all. Many animals are taken directly from the wild , often when they are babies, to make the transition to captivity a bit easier. At times, this is done in the name of conservation, or when a wild animal is very ill. But many zoos will take animals from the wild, or buy animals from unethical animal traders.
It’s Often Not Possible to Return Animals to the Wild
Releasing an animal into the wild isn’t always successful, especially if the animal has spent time in climates different from their native regions, like jungles, savannas or ice caps. Properly preparing animals for success in the wild is a multi-stage process that can require thousands of dollars — and it doesn’t always work . Captive-born predator species — disadvantaged by being born and raised in an artificial environment — only have a survival rate after being released into the wild of 33 percent , according to one study. As a result, re-release is not a priority for many zoos.
Zoos Are Poorly Regulated
While there exist many laws that protect animals, such as the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) and the Endangered Species Act , they only offer minimum protections . For example, the AWA excludes entire species of animals, like mice, farmed animals, birds and all cold-blooded animals. Its “minimum” standards of care usually ensure the animals’ safety, not their welfare or happiness. Many animal law experts say these regulations don’t go far enough .
What Are the Pros of Having Zoos?
They Can Be Important for Researchers
Biologists and zoologists can benefit from studying animals in zoos. Some breakthroughs in animal behavior and treatment, like why elephants swing their trunks or how gorillas develop heart disease, have been made possible because of zoos’ ease of access . However, not all animals behave the same in captivity as they do in the wild, so not all research is possible in zoos.
Zoos Are Educational — People May Behave “Eco-friendlier” After Going To the Zoo
Zoos can kickstart individuals’ interest in biodiversity, which is a critical aspect of environmental protection. Many zoos include calls to action in their exhibits, highlighting how endangered animals are being poached, driven away, or otherwise killed by human activity. This can inspire some people to behave more conscientiously. One limited survey found that 35 percent of eco-friendly people learned sustainable behavior from zoos . ‘
Zoos Can Help Educate Children About Animals
Zoos are a quintessential school experience for many young people. Children love learning about animals up-close in a safe environment — in fact, education is possibly the biggest advantage of modern zoos. Many programs, like school presentations, guided tours, informational exhibits, and talks with zookeepers can trigger a lifelong love of animals in children .
But zoos aren’t perfect in this regard. According to a study of zoo visitors in the UK, only 34 percent of children learned more about animals at zoos (the result was slightly better when the children were given a guided tour). Worse, children did not feel empowered to help with conservation efforts after visiting a zoo. This suggests that if zoos care about education, they need to more actively reach out to schoolchildren for empowerment and education.
Going to the Zoo Is Affordable
More ethical ways of engaging with animals without removing them from their natural habitats — like whale watching, safaris, hikes, or excursions — are usually expensive or inaccessible for many people. Zoos tend to be relatively cheap for the average family that wants to learn about animals.
Conservation
Zoos Can Protect Endangered Species from Extinction
Zoos often claim they can protect entire species from extinction through conservation programs that involve breeding more animals in captivity and then releasing them into the wild. This is especially important for endangered species like pandas.
While these conservation efforts are truly important, they don’t represent the majority of a zoo’s activities, nor are zoos leaders in conservation worldwide. At the National Zoo, for example, only one-fifth of animals are endangered . In North America, zoos only contribute about 14 percent of all animals reintroduced into the wild as part of a conservation program. Zoos also tend to focus on headline-grabbing endangered animals to bring in visitors, like pandas, elephants or tigers, as opposed to lesser-known but crucial species, like tamarins, kakapos or wombats.
Are Zoos Good or Bad for the Environment?
Zoos claim to support global biodiversity through conservation efforts like protecting endangered animals. This is somewhat true, although it varies greatly from zoo to zoo.
On the other hand, zoos are big polluters and use up lots of resources , especially energy and water . Aquariums in particular use tons and tons of water. Zoo animals also generate waste that may or may not be composted or disposed of correctly.
Should Zoos Exist or Be Banned?
Given the many ways that zoos are unethical to animals, the flawed attempts to contribute to conservation, and the positioning of humans as superior to animals, many animal ethicists believe zoos should not exist — or at least, not exist in their current form .
For example, animal philosopher Dale Jamieson says in his book Ethics on the Ark that zoos primarily “alleviate our sense of guilt for what we are doing to the planet, but they do little to help the animals we are driving to extinction.” He continues to argue that zoos exist for humans alone , and that it is very difficult to wave away the inherent immorality of depriving animals their liberty for the sake of human amusement.
Instead, private conservation programs can benefit endangered animals without showcasing them to the public. Animal sanctuaries, which are areas of land in which endangered and other animals are protected by humans, are also advantageous for both individual animals and global biodiversity .
Zoos do have advantages — fostering curiosity and education chief among them. But experts believe there are other ways of accomplishing these goals without resorting to zoos with tiny enclosures. Excursions, nature documentaries, safaris, local gardens, hikes, boat tours and other ways of interacting with nature don’t involve taking animals out of their natural habitats.
The Bottom Line
If you do choose to visit a zoo, opt for zoos that have certifications from independent animal welfare organizations. If you are interested in animal conservation, you’d be more impactful donating to a non-zoo animal protection organization instead. And if you do want to visit animals, consider an animal sanctuary or an ethical safari, where you can see animals in their native environments.

500 words essay on zoo.
The world is a huge place to see. It consists of so many living organisms that it is impossible to see each and every one of them. Especially for human beings, who are fascinated very much by animals. For the same reasons, zoos were created so that humans can interact better with animals.
In other words, a zoo is a facility that has animals, birds, and reptiles of all kinds. They are confined to space where they are given food and medical facilities. The government has given strict guidelines to maintain a zoo. This is done keeping in mind the animal’s safety. In addition, zoos are made breeding grounds for animals to protect their species.
Zoos were made to bring wildlife closer to humans. It gave humans a better and up-close view of them. This allows various researchers and scientists to note the behavioral pattern of the animals. It helps them in their studies and discover new things.
In addition, zoos are a great source of entertainment for kids. They love visiting zoos and interacting with animals. This helps them learn practical knowledge about the animal. It also gives them exposure to wildlife and widens their knowledge.
Furthermore, zoos give us easy access to rare animals. Had it not been for zoos, we would have never been able to see what some animals looked like. We enjoy their behavior and it also creates awareness about the extinction of the rare species.
Similarly, zoos are a safe breeding ground for animals. They ensure the animal breeds so they never go extinct. This helps in creating a good balance. Moreover, the zoos ensure the animals get all the nutrition in their bodies to lead a healthy life. This is beneficial as the animal may not get guaranteed meals in the forests.

While the zoo is a great place for entertainment, it is also very exploitive. It takes advantage of the poor animals to make a profit off them. The zoos keep animals in very bad conditions. It takes unethical methods just to create revenue.
Furthermore, zoos are very unfair to animals. They take the animals out of their natural habitats just for the sake of human entertainment. Why would the animals be put into cages as humans want them to? They are voiceless creatures who are being forced to live in poor conditions. Imagine putting humans into cages so animals could come to see them. It sounds inhumane the other way around but not when we do the same to animals.
Most importantly, zoos do not take proper care of exotic animals. They bring them over in their facility despite knowing that they cannot survive in that climate. Some zoos do not take enough precautionary measures to keep the animals safe. This has resulted in so many deaths of animals that it seems cruel.
In short, though zoos are very helpful to humans and animals to an extent. They must be monitored constantly to ensure the animals are safe. The unethical zoos must be shut down at once to prevent any further loss of animals.
Q.1 List the advantages of Zoo
A.1 Zoos bring the wildlife close to humans. It helps researchers study them closely and discover new things. It protects rare species and provides a safe breeding ground for them as well.
Q.2 How are zoos harmful to animals?
A.2 Zoos are very harmful to animals. They take them out of their natural habitat for human entertainment. They make them stay in poor conditions due to which they also lose their life and get infections.

To the Editor:
Re “ The Case Against Zoos ,” by Emma Marris (Sunday Review, June 13):
Ms. Marris argues that leading zoos and aquariums spend an outsized amount on “operations and construction” compared with their expenditures on “conservation projects.”
The reason modern zoos spend so much on operations is simple — effective, science-based zoological institutions focus on the welfare of animals in their care, a moral obligation that does not come cheap. American Humane , the country’s first national humane organization, certifies the humane treatment of animals in more than 60 zoos and aquariums around the globe. These zoological institutions receive our Humane Certified seal as they meet or exceed a science-based set of criteria evaluated by independent auditors who have no stake in the outcome of their decision.
Money spent on proper veterinary care, enrichment activities and nutritious food is not money wasted but rather an investment in the social, and moral, contract we have with animals. To pressure zoos and aquariums to spend less on their animals would lead to inhumane outcomes for the precious creatures in their care.
Robin R. Ganzert Washington The writer is president and chief executive of American Humane.
I am a veterinarian who was a zoo and wildlife park employee for years before obtaining my veterinary degree. Both the wildlife park and zoo claimed to be operating for the benefit of the animals and for conservation purposes. This claim was false. Neither one of them actually participated in any contributions to animal research or conservation. They are profitable institutions whose bottom line is much more important than the condition of the animals.
Animals such as African lions that bred in captivity were “culled” (killed) when their numbers exceeded the financial capability of the zoo to feed them. Baby bears, seals, beavers and other animals were taken in and used by the zoos for financial profit until they were no longer useful, and then either “culled” or released into the wild without the ability to survive. I was taught to recite a spiel on conservation to zoo visitors that was false.
Animals despise being captives in zoos. No matter how you “enhance” enclosures, they do not allow for freedom, a natural diet or adequate exercise. Animals end up stressed and unhealthy or dead.

Zoos are great, right? You get to be up close and personal with some amazing animals that you’d pretty much never get to see in the wild. Clearly, zoos are a win for people. But when it comes to the animals, zoos might cause more harm than good. Should zoos exist?
TEACHERS: Guide your students to practice civil discourse about current topics and get practice writing CER (claim, evidence, reasoning) responses. Explore lesson supports.
How did zoos become a thing? Humans have been capturing and displaying exotic animals for thousands of years. The earliest known collections date back to 3500 BCE in Egypt, where rulers kept hippos, elephants, baboons, and different species of large cats. Now back then, that didn’t mean that your average Egyptian could go check any of that awesomeness out. These early zoos were really just a way for kings to flex on other kings. Modern zoos, where the public can come and watch animals exhibiting their natural behavior, didn’t really become a thing until the early 1800s. The longest continuously operating zoo in the world is the Vienna Zoo, which has been going strong for more than 260 years.
What are the arguments in favor of having zoos? Zoos may be great entertainment, but their big goal is to educate the public about wildlife and what we can do to protect them. Zoo animals are sort of like ambassadors for their counterparts in the wild. Zoos also contribute to scientific research. “Zoo” is short for zoological park, and zoology is the scientific study of animal biology and behavior. In addition, zoos work really hard to save animals that are threatened in the wild. Zoos can take at-risk animals, breed them in captivity, and then reintroduce them back into the wild.
What are the arguments for NOT having zoos? Zoos have their problems. Not all zoos are created equal. Some are clean and well staffed, others aren’t. There are some in the richest cities in the world, and there are some in conflict zones. What this means is that not all zoos have the resources to properly care for the animals they house. And for many critics, no amount of education or research justifies keeping animals captive. That captivity can be REALLY bad for both physical AND psychological health. And while zoos have been really helpful is saving endangered animals, it doesn’t work out for certain species. For example, most large carnivores like lions and tigers that are bred in captivity die when released into the wild. It turns out that they haven’t developed the natural behaviors they need when they’re out on their own and have to fend for themselves.

Many people think that zoos are cruel. Others think they are helpful in protecting rare animals. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion. Real Past IELTS Exam
Some concerned groups feel that zoos are cruelly exploitative while others argue they serve the vital function of protecting endangered animals. In my opinion, though zoos are inherently unnatural, their efforts are laudable overall.
Those activists who decry the existence of zoos often point out how animals live in the wild. A lion in the African Serengeti, one of the few remaining preserves for lions in their natural habitat, roams over miles of grassland, hunts for meals and competes with rival prides. This is how lions have lived for thousands of years and is the natural byproduct of a generational process of evolution. The same lion placed in a zoo paces a small cage, is tossed already dead meat to eat, and rarely has other lions to interact or mate with. The evidence for zoos as a cruel institution lies in the contrasting of a natural and unnatural lifestyle and turning proud beasts into scavengers.
Regardless, zoos are essential for the preservation and cultivation of endangered species. There are countless animals ranging from various big cats (lions, tigers, leopards, and other sub-species), to pandas, rhinoceros, gorillas, pangolins and many more that depend on zoos for protection and safe breeding grounds. These animals have been driven to the brink of extinction either by loss of habitat due to rampant development and climate change or hunted for their fur or alleged medicinal properties. Responsible zoos are tasked with breeding them in order to stabilise falling populations and then re-introducing them into the wild. Without these zoos, many species would likely already have gone extinct.
In conclusion, zoos are fundamentally artificial but also a net positive because of their conservation efforts. To ensure this remains the case, these refuges must be well-regulated and governments should enact complementary solutions such as anti-poaching laws.

Zoos have been operating for thousands of years. While other people believe that it has a lot of helpful effects on animals and society, in my opinion, there are many negative impacts on animals’ physical and psychological health if they are in captivity. The following paragraphs discuss both views and reach a reasonable conclusion.
The motives of zoos preserving animals are indeed for the benefits of the majority. Firstly, zoo owners are protecting endangered animals through confinement because they are at risk when outside. Species such as elephants, tigers, lions, and pandas are the popular creatures people can see inside the zoo. Also, they consider showcasing animals in captivity as a way of educating humankind. It is also regarded as an exciting experience for children to see wild creatures personally. That is why the idea of caging endangered species is useful for human-being.
On the other hand, the well-being of animals in captivity is not ensured. There are some zoos that the resources for proper care are not sufficient. With this, the survival of other species living inside the cage, in terms of food and shelter, is not in a good hand. Besides, animals are not comfortable if they are not in their natural environment. Research shows that the monotonous routine and limited space in the animal’s conditions could lead to depression. For this reason, the behavioral development of these living creatures could become complicated.
In conclusion, there is no denying that capturing and displaying animals to the public could positively affect the people. However, it is also important to promote the diversity of the ecosystem and let animals live in their natural habitat for their survival.
Good Jessica!
While some believe, that they, will discuss, motives for zoos to house wildlife, when living in the wild, zoos where the resources, not as comfortable, could be problematic

Sample Essay #1
(Using 3 points arguing that zoos are useful and 1 point arguing that zoos are cruel; Conclusion: conditionally agree with the opinion that zoos are useful)
Visit to a zoo is part of fond childhood memories of almost everyone. Yet, it has become a contentious subject in recent years whether zoos serve an overall positive purpose. Since there seem to be valid supporting arguments for both perspectives, this essay will discuss them and reach a logical conclusion based on the presented line of reasoning.
Firstly, these establishments provide a safe place for wild animals from poachers and other risks. This is especially crucial for rare and endangered species. For example, tigers and pandas are kept in different zoos across the globe because of which their numbers have grown manifold over the years. Secondly, these zoological parks are needed by researchers and scientists to study animals. Lastly, menageries, such as zoos, are an ideal location for edutainment. That is to say, these establishments are not only an ideal source of entertainment for people of all age groups but they are also a way to impart education to children regarding animals. As a result of visit to such places, children may feel an affinity towards animals. What is more, zoos are a brilliant means of creating awareness about environmental issues.
On the other hand, those who oppose zoos and want them to be closed assert that animals are not treated well in zoos. These animals are caged in confined spaces. The cages and enclosures are tiny compared to the natural habitat of these animals. For instance, a tiger which is one of the fastest animals is sometimes kept in small cages. Similarly, monkeys which can jump from one tree to another in seconds are at times confined to a small area with just 2-3 trees.
In conclusion, my opinion is that zoos have many benefits which have been proven over the years and they should certainly not be closed. We should, however, ensure that the animals in zoos have larger spaces where they can move about.
Sample Essay #2
(Using 3 points arguing that zoos are useful and 3 points arguing that zoos are cruel; Conclusion: zoos are cruel)
(first two paragraphs are almost the same as the previous essay)
Firstly, these establishments provide a safe place for wild animals from poachers and other risks. This is especially crucial for rare and endangered species. For example, tigers and pandas are kept in different zoos across the globe because of which their numbers have grown manifold over the years. Secondly, these zoological parks are needed by researchers and scientists to study animals. Lastly, menageries, such as zoos, are an ideal location for edutainment. That is to say, these establishments are not only an ideal source of entertainment for people of all age groups but they are also a way to impart education to children regarding animals. As a result of visits to such places, children may feel an affinity towards animals. What is more, zoos are a brilliant means of creating awareness about environmental issues.
On the other hand, it is necessary to accept that no creature should be treated as if it is for the entertainment of humankind. Hence, the treatment of wild animals in zoos has to be considered as brutal as their freedom is hampered. What is worse, the animals bred in captivity are incapable of adapting to the wild environment and thus can never be released into the wild. For instance, if a chimpanzee is born in a zoo environment, it would never be able to live in a forest. This chimpanzee would not know how to live with other wild animals or find food for itself.
In conclusion, although it seems that there are quite a few positives of zoos, I strongly believe they are an atrocity and closing is the only ethical recourse.
Sample Essay #3
(Using 3 points arguing that zoos are useful and 3 points arguing that zoos are cruel; Conclusion: zoos are cruel + alternatives to benefits of zoos)
(first three paragraphs are almost the same as the previous essay)
In conclusion, although it seems that there are quite a few positives of zoos, I strongly believe they are an atrocity and closing them is the only ethical recourse. As far as education is concerned, we now have a wide range of audio-visual media for this purpose. A practical example of this is the fact that no child has ever seen a dinosaur but through movies, documentaries, animations, and museums, they are very familiar with these extinct creatures. Similarly, for research and conservation purposes, wildlife sanctuaries and national parks should be encouraged where the focus is the well-being of the animals and not the amusement of human visitors.

Zoos, if done right, could be a good thing for the animals and the public—yet many so-called zoos get it terribly wrong.
Arguments for zoos, arguments against zoos, the last word on zoos.
A zoo is a place where captive animals are put on display for humans to see. While early zoos (shortened from zoological parks) concentrated on displaying as many unusual creatures as possible—often in small, cramped conditions—the focus of most modern zoos is conservation and education. While zoo advocates and conservationists argue that zoos save endangered species and educate the public, many animal rights activists believe the cost of confining animals outweighs the benefits, and that the violation of the rights of individual animals—even in efforts to fend off extinction—cannot be justified. Let's dive into whether zoos are ethical and if they truly encourage education and conservation.
Humans have kept wild animals for thousands of years. The first efforts to keep wild animals for non-utilitarian uses began about 2,500 BCE, when rulers in Mesopotamia, Egypt kept collections in enclosed pens. Modern zoos began to evolve during the 18th century and the Age of Enlightenment when scientific interest in zoology and the study of animal behavior and anatomy came to the fore.
Early zoos were a dismal affair. Animals were kept in small enclosures with little if any, greenery. With a scant understanding of what the various animals needed, many perished relatively quickly. In accredited zoos in the United States and globally, things are better. Primates have gone from barren cages with little furniture to naturalistic and sometimes semi-free-ranging designs. But is it enough?
In making a case for or against zoos and whether zoos are ethical, both sides argue that they're saving animals. Whether or not zoos benefit the animal community, they do make money. As long as demand remains, zoos will continue to exist.
Since zoos are likely inevitable, the best way to move forward is to ensure zoo conditions are the best possible for the animals that live in captivity and that individuals who violate animal care health and safety sanctions are not only duly punished but denied any future access to animals.
One day we may look back at zoos and marvel at their barbarity. Or, one day we may look back at zoos and be grateful for the species they saved from extinction. Of these two scenarios, only time will tell.

Zoos across the globe have witnessed some truly fascinating events over the years. One such event occurred in 1988 at the San Francisco Zoo when Koko, a gorilla, used sign language to communicate with her caregivers. Similarly, the birth of an endangered white rhinoceros in the Toronto Zoo back in 2016 brought joy to everyone. Zoos are not just places to visit; they are an experience that offers a world of excitement and nostalgia for people of all ages. For parents, it’s a chance to share the wonders of the animal kingdom with their children while kids enjoy the playful antics of the animals. Every family has a story to tell about their zoo visit, where they witnessed a lion’s roar for the first time or were mesmerized by the colorful hues of a peacock’s feathers. In this essay on zoo, we will discuss the importance of zoos, their role in education and conservation efforts, as well as the ethical implications of keeping wild animals in captivity.
Why do people visit zoos, what types of animals are in zoos.
Use of technology in zoos, future of zoos.
Zoos are places where you can see and learn about many different animals. Zoos not only offer fun, but they also teach us the importance of caring for animals and the environment. Some zoos have special provisions for endangered animals. This means that these zoos keep such animals healthy and safe, especially when only a few of them are left in the wild.

There are many reasons why people visit zoos. Some people visit zoos to see animals that they would not normally have the opportunity to see, such as lions, tigers, and elephants. Others visit zoos to learn about the animals and their habitats. Still, others visit zoos for the entertainment value or because they have fond memories of visiting zoos as children. Whatever the reason, there are many benefits to visiting zoos.
Zoos house a variety of animals, from the common to the exotic. Mammals such as lions, tigers, and bears are popular attractions, as are reptiles like snakes and crocodiles. Birds like parrots and penguins are also often found in zoos. Some zoos also have unusual animals like kangaroos, koalas, and wallabies. These animals come from Australia and are rarely seen in other parts of the world. However, they are available in some zoos in North America and Europe.
There are many benefits of zoos that often go unnoticed. Here are a few of them:
Zoos play an important role in educating people of all ages about wild animals and their natural habitats. They also work to conserve endangered species and protect them from extinction.
Zoos offer a chance to see amazing creatures up close and personal, which is an experience that few people ever get in their lifetimes. A trip to the zoo is sure to be a memorable one for people of all ages.
Zoos keep animals safe when they lose their natural homes because of human activity. By keeping these animals safe in captivity, zoos help ensure they will not disappear entirely from the planet.
Zoos also help rehabilitate injured or sick animals. They team up with animal rehab centers and other groups to help sick or injured animals that cannot survive in the wild.
Zoos allow scientists to research various species. These research studies aim to learn more about animal behavior and biology.
Zoos help endangered species by breeding and protecting them from extinction. Once these animals reach a certain age and are healthy, they are released back into the wild.
Zoos often work with local communities to teach them why taking care of wildlife is crucial. They may also offer volunteer and internship opportunities for people who are interested in working with animals.
There are many problems associated with zoos:
Many people believe zoos are cruel to animals because they are confined to small spaces and deprived of their natural habitats. Others argue that zoos provide a necessary service by rescuing endangered species and educating the public about wildlife conservation.
Let’s look at four examples where zoos have used new technologies to take care of animals.
In this zoo, the zookeepers have fitted special devices, similar to fitness trackers, on some animals. These devices assist them in tracking the animals’ movement, heart rate, and other health parameters.
The Singapore Zoo has designed natural habitats for animals instead of confining them to cages. These habitats have advanced features that control temperature, humidity, and lighting to mimic the animals’ natural surroundings. As a result, the animals feel happier and more comfortable.
London Zoo has a system called ZSL Instant Wild. This system allows you to watch live videos of animals in their natural habitats worldwide. You can use a mobile app or go to their website to see these videos.
Also known as Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Udyan, this Zoo has modern vet facilities, X-rays, and ultrasound machines. The zoo also has security cameras and electronic fences to keep both the animals and visitors safe.
Zoos may see an increase in the use of Artificial intelligence (AI) technology to create natural habitats for animals and monitor their health, behavior, and well-being in real-time. This will help caretakers to take action immediately if there are any issues. AI can also track animal populations in the wild. Looking to the future, zoos will continue to play an important role in educating the public about wildlife and their habitats. Additionally, zoos will continue to be valuable resources for conservation efforts. As our understanding of animals and their needs grows, so too will our ability to provide them with the best possible care.
Here’s a table featuring famous zoos with notable events:
The essay on zoos explains that Zoos are an important part of our society and culture. They provide us with a connection to nature, preserve endangered species, and educate people about animals. Visiting a zoo can be a great way for families to spend time together while learning more about wildlife conservation. By supporting zoos and their efforts, we can help ensure that these valuable resources are around for generations to come. So, next time you are looking for something fun to do on the weekend or during your vacation, consider taking a trip to the local zoo!

A man eats an apple as he walks past a mural depicting a goat, purportedly by the street artist Banksy, on August 5, 2024 in the Richmond borough of London, England. Carl Court/Getty Images/Getty Images Europe hide caption
London has been abloom with images of animals in recent days. They are the work of Banksy, the mysterious street artist, who has posted art in unexpected places since the 1990s.
Over the past two weeks, he has spray-painted a mountain goat atop a wall buttress in west London, two elephants with their trunks reaching across a brick wall, and a rhinoceros standing on its hind legs, climbing on top of a car or — and I have to be oblique here — availing itself of the automobile below.
ARTnews said one of Banksy’s 13 million followers on Instagram declared, “This has to be a metaphor for technology replacing nature — maybe a commentary on AI and job security,” which, I confess, was not my reaction on seeing the libidinous rhino and the motorcar.
Banksy has also stenciled a pair of pelicans above a fish and chips bar, and monkeys on the side of a train bridge, swinging by their arms or tails, and a wolf, and a cat.
Each of the works posted on Banksy’s Instagram page has included the hashtag "#LondonZoo." On Tuesday, London awoke to behold a Banksy on a security shutter of the zoo, showing a gorilla lifting a cover to allow a seal and five birds to flap out, free.
Have Banksy’s recent artworks been saying, “Come see animals in this zoo!”? Or, “Isn’t it an outrage that animals are put in a zoo?”
But Vanessa Thorpe, arts correspondent for The Guardian, says the Pest Control Office, the organization that supports Banksy’s works, told her such theorizing is “way too involved … (T)he latest street art has been designed to cheer up the public during a period when the news headlines have been bleak.”
We can forget, when we look for artistic statements to fit an argument, that art can just bring cheer, too.

Joanne Perry Stone Environmental Human Resources/Office Administrator 535 Stone Cutters Way Montpelier, VT 05602
Dear Ms. Perry:
Stone Environmental’s focus on innovation has inspired me to use my accounting skills to create a better world one invoice at a time. More than just a job, I want to find solutions for the world’s problems, like how Stone Environmental provides practical solutions for each client, whether that be a new modeling system for rainwater runoff or a survey tool to document materials containing PCB.
During my time as a consultant for the Coral Reef Research Foundation, my team and I assisted with multiple project setups for reef research. We identified and eliminated multiple unnecessary expenditures, saving a total of $750+ for each project associated with reef research, particularly for their survey work regarding coral cover on the mesophotic reefs of Palau. This specific project spurred my interest in environmental care, particularly water quality and wastewater management.
Similar to Stone Environmental, the past companies I have worked for have also valued collegiality and collaboration, which has made me comfortable working both independently and as part of a dynamic team. At my most recent position with Terracon Consultants, I worked with a group of 5 accountants to improve A/P and A/R systems. By the end of the year, we had lowered ADD and payment error rates by 28 percent and increased FCRR to 1:95:1.
Achieving these goals has been rewarding, but I’m excited to master new skills and handle multiple dynamic projects that will help provide scientific tools, information, and analyses to help clients solve environmental challenges. Stone Environmental is a place where I can live my values, grow my skills, collaborate with a motivated, talented team, and assist employees directly. I would be thrilled to share more of my experience with you and look forward to connecting soon.

Noah Brown Deloitte 123 Fictional Lane Phoenix, AZ 19101
Dear Mr. Brown:
While juggling my finance studies with running a small side hustle during my college years, I was drawn towards the precision and problem-solving involved in maintaining our finances. The intricate dance between debits and credits and the satisfaction of accurate balance sheets propelled me to major in finance. Now, I’m eager to apply my skills in bookkeeping, account reconciliation, and more as an assistant accountant at Deloitte.
Upon graduating, I stepped into the professional world at a local payroll processing company, Paychex. Besides managing regular payroll activities, I automated the payroll system, spearheading a transition that improved processing speed by 21%. This hands-on experience with payroll processing software gave me an aptitude for efficient system utilization.
Earlier, I had an enriching stint as an intern at PetSmart, a household name among pet owners. Here, my proficiency in bookkeeping skills saw considerable growth. The responsibility of managing financial records using QuickBooks was part of my responsibilities. With a keen eye for detail, I was able to spot a vital discrepancy, which helped cut down overstated expenses by 17.4% for that financial quarter.
Owning a small business during my campus years offered me an intimate view of account reconciliation. Every end month, I was at the forefront squaring off invoices, receipts, and assorted bank transactions. The charm of Xero accounting software came to my aid and with its prowess, I successfully ironed out all financial mismatches. That not only amplified my business’s financial precision, but it also was a significant time and resource saver.
With the synergistic combination of theoretical knowledge from my academic pursuits, internship expertise, professional experience, and real-world practice from my business, I’m well-equipped to serve as an assistant accountant at Deloitte. Looking forward to discussing how my skills and qualifications can support Deloitte’s esteemed client roster in maintaining immaculate financial records.

Benjamin Moore Valero Energy Corporation 123 Fictional Lane San Antonio, TX 95101
Dear Mr. Moore:
Inspired by Valero Energy Corporation’s approach to meeting the world’s growing demand for sustainable energy through innovation, ingenuity, and unmatched execution, I’m excited to join the team of forward-thinking individuals as your next staff accountant. My aim is to apply my financial acuity within an environment that values synergy and creative problem-solving, motives that are crucial in enriching the successful conduct of business finance and, subsequently, the energy industry.
At Kinetic Concepts, managing financial reporting fell under my jurisdiction, where I made friends with ERP and data visualization tools. The powerful combo of detailed analysis and crisp reports worked wonders to curb financial risks, taking decision-making up a notch. This strategy turned the tables in our favor, surging the profit margin by 17.8% within a two-year period.
Silver Eagle Beverages is where I put my tax compliance show on the road. Here, wrestling with brain-twisting IRS guidelines, a stream of regulatory updates, and ticking tax deadlines were pretty regular. The introduction of an automated tax ensured accuracy and punctuality in tax reporting, helping us cut back on late reporting issues by a solid 18.2%.
Over at Profrac Services, my gig revolved around cost analysis, and let me tell you, I wasn’t afraid to get my hands dirty. Delving into company operations led to unearthing hidden gems of savings and means to polish efficiency. One of the golden nuggets from this treasure hunt was a cost-effectiveness study that blew the lid off our supply chain, spotlighting cost savings of 11.7% in our logistics bill.
Being at the vanguard of the energy industry requires a keen understanding of its financial structure. I’m eager to forge ahead and harness my skills to help reinforce Valero’s position as a frontrunner in reliable and sustainable energy solutions. Thank you for your time, and I hope to connect with you soon.

Siobhan Cutone AMP Services’ Recruiting and Office Manager 200 W. Mercer Street, Suite 511 Seattle, WA 98119
Dear Ms. Cutone:
AMP Services’ mission to offer accounting solutions for the hospitality industry coupled with your glowing client testimonials has inspired me to apply. It is clear AMP Services takes its role as a consultant seriously, as demonstrated by the many satisfied clients you have served and first-hand accounts of how your intervention has revitalized many businesses. I would be honored to use my years of accounting experience and hands-on familiarity within the hospitality industry to offer innovative recommendations to AMP Service’s clients.
When I was the head accountant with Lion & Leopard Consulting, I was responsible for reviewing all financial documentation, including the general ledger, balance sheets, invoices, receivables, and reports. With every document, I identified discrepancies or errors and collaborated with my team members to craft solutions, resulting in a significant decrease in error resolution time and an invoice exception rate of over 27 percent. For every client, I reached out after four months to ensure their financial departments were still running smoothly.
Within the hospitality industry, I have three years of experience working as an accountant for the Goode Company Restaurant Group. I learned how to work within a team-oriented and deadline-driven environment while managing multiple accounts. By the end of my time there, I had lowered the cost per invoice and invoice exception rate by 17 percent, and through my partnership with management, improved the budget to actual variance by 13 percent.
AMP Services understands how accounting can breathe life back into the hospitality industry, and it is my goal to further your mission. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you in the future.
Best regards,

Emilio Williamson Employee Engagement & Culture Manager, Alterra Mountain 3501 Wazee St. Denver, CO 80216
Dear Mr. Williamson:
I first heard about Alterra Mountain Company when you joined the Climate Collaborative Charter, and ever since, I’ve wanted to join your community of passionate outdoor adventurers who love the mountains and their communities with equal fervor. As a CAPP with four years of accounts payable experience, I know I can manage your travel and expense systems, resolve system issues, and support Alterra Mountain staff as your Travel & Expenses Accounts Payable Specialist.
During my time at Slavic Mountain, I reviewed transactions for compliance, provided quality customer service related to transaction and account issues, and prepared all financial documents. However, my best achievement was establishing the use of Microsoft D365 software, which reduced payment errors by 34 percent, increased early payment discounts by 47 percent, and lowered overall cycle time.
At my latest position as the AR Specialist at REI, in addition to my daily accounting duties, I established the REI Ski Foundation, which partners with local ski resorts to provide gear, passes, and lessons to those who normally would never be introduced to outdoor sports. It is my firm belief that everyone should be allowed access to the world of winter sports regardless of finances, a position I know Alterra Mountain Company shares.
Accounting does more than just improve the bottom line; it allows the business to grow and invest in its community. I believe in building relationships, providing resources, and encouraging passion just like Alterra. Moreover, I am confident I can manage your travel and expenses systems well, support your staff, and live out your vision. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to speaking soon.

Need an accountant resume to pair with your cover letter?
An amazing accountant cover letter is two things: specific and separate from your resume. Your cover letter should stand on its own as a concise, detailed document that highlights your qualifications.
Many people use the same cover letter repeatedly, but that won’t impress your future employer. Just as you can see financial trouble from a mile away, employers can spot a recycled cover letter within seconds. So, tailor your cover letter to each job for which you apply.
Just as you can see financial trouble from a mile away, employers can spot a recycled cover letter within seconds.
Stuck on where to start? Let the accountant job description you’ve found guide you. Does the company need someone who has experience with Quickbooks? Explain how you used it to manage invoices for annual grants to the community college you worked for last year. Does the job ad mention a need for improved accounting processes? Describe how you implemented a mentorship program that reduced error rates by 33%.
Do your research to confidently address how you can meet the company’s needs. You can also address the soft and hard skills they require; if they need someone to assist with annual audits, discuss how your time reconciling accounts means you have a keen attention to detail and a strong grasp of GAAP and FASB standards. In essence, take what you know and use it to show you have the necessary skills.
Most cover letters summarize their accompanying resume in boring, professional jargon, which won’t inspire someone to hire you.
Your accounting cover letter must convince the employer to seriously consider you even if they haven’t seen your resume. It needs to dig deeper than your resume allows and tell the story of your career.
What are your crowning achievements, and how did they impact your workplace or clients’ financial operations? Refer back to why you’re applying for this role and how you’ll change the company for the better.
Think of it this way: your resume is a shallow pool, but your cover letter is a narrow trench. One gives a general overview of your qualifications while the other explores a few experiences in-depth. Below, we’ve shared two examples that dive into the trench.
Both mention responsibilities that should also be on the resume, but they explain the significance of their work and what happened afterward .
Now that you know what to include, let’s discuss how to include it. Keep in mind this is still a letter; it should be informative without going over a page, and it needs to sound professional without being stuffy.
Much like a normal letter, imagine you’re having a conversation. You need to be professional, but you should also be relatable and interesting. And just like a good conversation, you should always circle back to how you can improve the employer’s business.
The good news is you can revise your cover letter before you send it. Review your cover letter with the same precision you apply when reviewing financial transactions. As you revise, shorten your sentences, improve your word choice, and establish your personality. We won’t say it’s fun, but revision is an essential step to writing a cover letter that gets you the job.
Staring at a blank page can be intimidating, especially when it comes to cover letters. Never fear, BeamJobs is here! Use our outline to organize your cover letter to perfection.
Your contact info: Your future employer will need to contact you at some point, so include your number, email, and your location (city and state). And of course, they’ll need your full name, so don’t forget to enter that into your template. Many employers also ask to see your LinkedIn profile.
Date: Every letter needs a date, but if you’re using a template or outline, don’t forget to change the date when you submit. If you sent your letter in April but started drafting it in February, the hiring manager may look at you funny.
Inside address: It sounds a bit counter-intuitive to include the inside address (aka the recipient’s address) since most cover letters are virtual, but it shows the employer you’ve done your research, and it makes it look more professional and complete.
Include the hiring manager’s name, their title, and the company’s address at the top of your cover letter, left-justified. If you can’t find the company’s complete address or the hiring manager’s name, don’t stress. Try checking on LinkedIn, Facebook, their website, and other job boards.
Joanne Perry Stone Environmental Human Resources/Office Administrator 535 Stone Cutters Way Montpelier, VT 05602
Greeting: Just like a good handshake, a good greeting (also called a salutation) helps you make the right first impression. Always say “Dear [Name]” instead of “hello” or any other iteration. (It is a business letter, after all.) Then, address the employer/hiring manager by name. This shows you’ve taken the time to research who’s in charge of the hiring process.
Body: The body of your accountant cover letter should cover why you’re interested in the position, your credentials, and your enthusiasm for future discussion. We’ll take a look at each section.
Opening paragraph: Just like a good book, you’ve got to get your reader hooked from the first line. That’s hard to accomplish, though, which is why so many cover letter openings sound like this (and yes, we’ve seen this actual example!).
When I found the job listing at Alterra Mountain Company, it sounded like a dream come true.
While this has potential, it’s generic and lifeless. Even the cliché “dream come true” phrase can’t strengthen this intro. This example, though, enthusiastically shows your interest and your credentials.
This tells the employer that the candidate not only knows about but values the company’s mission. He also makes it clear that he’s studied what this role will entail.
If you’re struggling to write your intro, write a few openers until you get one that sounds right. Sometimes it takes a few tries, and that’s okay—just keep trying until you hit one that’s focused and engaging.
Paragraphs 2-3: These paragraphs support your claims in the opening paragraph. Each paragraph should focus on a clear accomplishment. Maybe you managed grants totaling over $15 million for a community college, or maybe you initiated daily reporting to reduce manual reporting work hours.
Avoid the temptation to tackle too much per paragraph; you can’t go into as much detail (save the list of your credentials for your resume, instead). Here’s a good example of a focused discussion of a significant milestone.
This paragraph gives a general overview of the candidate’s past role without getting sidetracked. It also includes some phrases from the job description, including “team-oriented” and “deadline-driven” while including metrics.
Closing paragraph: Finish strong with a sentence summary of how your values and qualifications align with the company’s needs. Lastly, give a call to action. Whatever you do, don’t end the way 99 percent of other accountants will, like this.
I believe I would be a good fit for the senior accountant position, and I hope to talk more with you soon about my qualifications.
It’s not that those sentiments are untrue, but they’re, once again, generic and lifeless. This close, however, will leave a positive lasting impression.
Signature: Make sure you say “thank you” if you didn’t do that in the closing paragraph. Then sign off with a professional closing phrase along with your name.
Enclosure(s): Lots of cover letters miss this step, but this alerts the hiring manager to what follows your knockout cover letter. As an accountant, you’ll want to include your resume, the job application form, and any reference letters requested in the job ad. Employers may also ask for your college transcript or CPA/CMA licenses, although many just ask for the application and your resume.
Now that you have the resources you need to make your cover letter shine, don’t neglect your accountant resume . They’re two sides of the same coin, so make sure your resume is just as polished as your cover letter. After all, your resume is where you can list the duties you excel at, such as analyzing balance sheet accounts and checking compliance with financial policies and procedures.
We know—it’s exhausting writing financial reports all day only to have to write a resume on top of your cover letter. We ease the process with our quick 11 steps on how to make a good resume , and we have free resume templates like this one, which you can edit right now, to help you start (or rewrite) your resume.
Need a resume to pair with your senior accountant cover letter?
You have what it takes, so let our tools empower you to take your career documents from general to great. We’re cheering for you, and when you land your next accounting role, be sure and let us in on your great news!
The best approach is to adjust to match the company, but always leave a little room for error and keep things professional if you’re unsure. Browse through the accountant job description and company website—if both are casual, it’s all right for you to be semi-relaxed, too. Keep in mind that accounting involves a lot of hard data and finances are at stake, so maintain a tone of respect and professionalism, but don’t use big words if the job listing doesn’t—it’s important to sound human.
Much like your accountant resume , the cover letter may be scanned and skimmed, so it’s best not to make it too long. Try to keep it around 300 words. Go over it and edit it a few times, cutting out things that don’t accurately showcase your excitement at joining the company or your specific skills as an accountant, such as your background in corporate taxes.
It’s okay to have a template you refer back to every time you apply, but it’s best to update every paragraph to match the job listing. Include the company name, role, and references to the job itself throughout. For instance, if you’d be working in accounts payable, you can talk about your experience using QuickBooks to manage invoices.
A strong accountant cover letter can bolster your chances of landing an interview during your job search. These types of roles tend to have similar job descriptions. Providing a cover letter is a great way to offer unique insights into how you used your knowledge of accounting principles to create value for your clients, teams, and organizations. In this guide, you’ll find expert tips and examples to translate your experience into a winning cover letter.

The first step in writing your accountant cover letter is to carefully analyze the job description and identify how your unique skill sets align with the company’s needs. This provides valuable insights to help prioritize aspects of your experience that position you as an ideal candidate for the accountant role.
Once you understand what to include, the next step is to convey your accounting experience by emphasizing your strongest achievements. Show potential employers how you’ve successfully utilized your financial knowledge and analytical skills to improve processes and create value throughout your career. Below, we’ll walk you through the writing process for each section of an accountant cover letter:
List all essential contact information in the header of your accountant cover letter, including your name, phone number, email, and LinkedIn URL. Address the hiring manager by name — Mr. or Ms. [Last Name]. If you can’t find the hiring manager’s name, use a variation of “Dear Hiring Manager.” This shows potential employers you’ve done your due diligence and research on the company before applying, which can help you stand out during the job search.
Lead with a strong opening paragraph to set the tone for your accountant cover letter and convey your interest in the opportunity. Feature your years of experience and relevant accounting skills that match the job description. Highlight one of your most notable career achievements to grab the hiring manager’s attention and establish your credibility as a financial professional.
I would like to apply for the accounting manager position with PayPal. During my time with Pantheon Technologies, I managed a 40-person accounting department and oversaw all month-end close activities for a company valued at over $120 million. I am confident my accounting expertise and leadership experience would be an asset to your organization.
Include up to two paragraphs describing your professional experience and qualifications. Start by mentioning something specific about the company’s reputation or culture and explain why this draws you to apply for the position. Be sure to emphasize career achievements that align with the organization’s needs.
For example, if a company is seeking an accountant with a strong background in financial controls, SOX, and internal audits, provide tangible examples of this from your work history. Customizing your accountant cover letter will maximize your chances of landing the interview .
Providing a list of professional skills is generally not advisable for your account cover letter, as most of this information has already been covered in the resume. That said, weave key terms from the job description into your paragraphs. This shows potential employers how you’ve successfully applied your accounting skills in fast-paced business environments. Below, you’ll find a list of skill sets you may encounter while pursuing accountant jobs:
Key Skills and Qualifications | |
---|---|
Accounting | Accounts payable (AP) |
Accounts receivable (AR) | Account reconciliation |
ADP | Audits |
Benefits administration | Financial analysis |
Financial audits | Financial reporting |
Finance | Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) |
Month-end close | Payroll administration |
Process improvement | Quantitative analysis |
QuickBooks | Statistical analysis |
Tax compliance | Tax reporting |
End your accountant cover letter with a call to action inviting the hiring manager to schedule an interview. Use this opportunity to reinforce how your expertise in financial analysis and accounting creates value for potential employers. In the last sentence of the paragraph of your babysitter cover letter, thank the hiring manager for their time and consideration.
1. quantify your career achievements.
As an accounting professional, it’s important to add data to your accomplishments whenever possible. Incorporating numbers, hard data, and monetary figures is a powerful way to add depth to your achievements and tell your story. Not only does this establish a sense of scope for the reader, but it demonstrates your strong attention to detail in a much more tangible way.
Accountants must possess a strong knowledge of audits, accounting principles, and regulatory compliance. As you write your cover letter, pay attention to the specific terminology listed in the job description and incorporate these terms naturally. Depending on the role, you might emphasize your knowledge of SOX controls, GAAP, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations, or tax compliance.
Although many accountant jobs have similar responsibilities and requirements , you can still make a strong impression on potential employers by tailoring your cover letter to each position you apply for. For example, if a company mentions month-end close, you might highlight your efforts to automate or streamline closing activities rather than only listing it as a job duty.
Why should i include an accountant cover letter -.
Most applications for accountant positions won’t require a cover letter, but it can be advantageous to include one anyway. Accounting job descriptions tend to be similar, and as a result, so do the resumes. Providing a customized cover letter is a way to provide more insights into who you are as a professional and why you’re the ideal fit for the role.
Many believe that cover letters are a thing of the past. According to a LinkedIn poll conducted by Forbes , 70% of correspondents voted that cover letters are no longer needed during the application process. Still, taking the time to write one demonstrates your enthusiasm and genuine interest in the role you’re applying for. This can sometimes make all the difference in generating interviews during the job search.
Regarding the length of your cover letter, less is more. A concise, focused document that highlights your most notable qualifications and achievements will always have a stronger impact on the reader. Keep your cover letter limited to three or four paragraphs, featuring the most important aspects of your professional experience.
Get the attention of hiring managers with a cover letter tailored to every job application.

Build a resume to enhance your career.
You're a master of numbers, a champion of spreadsheets, and a guru of tax codes.
But when it comes to writing that perfect cover letter, it's like facing a complicated audit with no guidelines.
Annoying, right?
Don't worry; you're not alone. A lot of pros in your field feel like they're crunching the wrong numbers when drafting their cover letters.
We've got your back. This article will give you the formula for writing the perfect accountant cover letter.
Here's what we're going to cover:
Ready to make that cover letter as polished as your financial reports?
Let's dive in!
You've just read a cover letter that could seal the deal for an accountant job. Now it's your turn to write a cover letter that'll make hiring managers take notice.
Just follow the steps we're about to lay out for you:
Starting your accountant cover letter right means including essential contact details at the top. This should be in the header of your cover letter, the same way you'd do it on your resume .
Here's the rundown:
Once you've got your contact details sorted, it's time to include the hiring manager's info.
Here’s what that involves:
When you're preparing your application materials as an accountant, it's important to make a thoughtful impression from the get-go.
Steer clear of the generic "To Whom It May Concern." It's not your best choice.
How you address your cover letter can leave a positive impression on the hiring team—if you do it right, that is.
So, let's start with some research. Take a look at the job posting, the company's website, or their LinkedIn profiles to identify the key decision-makers in the department you're applying to. This way, you can get their name and email address.
Next, address them with respect. We suggest using "Mr." or "Ms." followed by their last name. But if you're unsure about their gender or marital status, simply use their full name instead. For example:
If you can't find specific information about the hiring manager or head of the accounting department, no problem. You can address your letter to the department or the company as a whole:
Hiring managers usually take only seven seconds to scan an application before deciding to read further. So, your accountant cover letter needs to make an impact right away.
Start your first paragraph with your name and why you want this accountant job. If you're keen on the field or the role, say so. This enthusiasm could make the hiring manager want to learn more about you in a way they can’t by only reading your accountant resume .
Doing your homework about the company helps too. The more you know, the better you can show why you'd fit in. This tells the hiring manager you're focused on this job, not just applying all over the place.
If you've got relevant experience, feel free to kick off your cover letter with a key achievement or a skill that makes you the right pick for the position.
But keep it brief. The goal is to make the hiring manager curious enough to read more of your cover letter.
The body of your accountant cover letter is your chance to dive deep. This isn't the spot for a resume recap. Here, you should lay out what sets you apart from other accountants and weave into a convincing narrative.
Don't just list your skills either; prove that you've got them and that you can use them to contribute. If the job ad requires someone proficient in financial analysis, talk about a project where you used those important skills to cut costs. Use the job ad as your guide for what to focus on.
Understanding the company can help build your case. If you know they're moving towards automated accounting solutions, discuss your experience with this type of tech and how you’re excited to push the boundaries of the field. Show them how you fit the role and their plans for growth.
And don't forget, enthusiasm counts. Make it clear you're excited about this job, not just looking for a paycheck. Show that you’re confident in your ability to bring value to their team, and you’re all set.
You want to leave the hiring manager with a positive impression by the end of your cover letter. This part is just as important as your opening, so don’t let it fall flat.
End your cover letter the right way by offering a brief conclusion. Just sum up a few key points that make you the right fit for the accounting position, and focus on your unique skills or experiences that set you apart from the crowd.
After that, add a call to action. This is pretty straightforward - just encourage the hiring manager to do something, like discuss your application further or arrange an interview. This proactive step can tip the scales in your favor.
Then finish it with a professional sign-off. Your closing line here sets the tone, so pick something professional. Here's a sample:
Feel free to reach out to me via email or phone to set up an interview. I'm eager to go into more detail about how I can contribute to your team.
If "Best regards" feels too common, you've got other solid options like:
You've got the rundown on what makes a standout cover letter for an accountant.
Now, let's dive into some cover letter tips to put the final touches on yours.
Ready to crunch numbers as an accountant?
Just make sure your cover letter aligns perfectly with your resume. A mismatched application can make you look disorganized and not detail-oriented.
Your information should be sharp and precise on the page, with consistent fonts throughout your resume and cover letter. And while you're at it, fine-tune those page margins and the line spacing so that your cover letter doesn’t spill over to page two.
Think of your application like a balanced ledger; it’s best presented when it’s clear and consistent.
Feeling pressed for time?
Try our free resume templates to create a flawless accountant resume, and use one of our cover letter templates to match.
They're designed in close collaboration with hiring pros from across the globe to meet industry standards and fit your resume seamlessly. You'll have a job-ready application in no time!
You've crunched the numbers, streamlined processes, and maybe even saved your last company a good chunk of change. That's awesome, and your cover letter is the perfect place to spotlight these wins. Achievements tell hiring managers you bring more than the same skills and experience as other candidates—you bring results .
But here's the kicker: Don't just recycle the bullet points from your resume. Your cover letter is a chance to add some color to those achievements. Explain the challenges you faced, the strategies you employed, and how they had a positive impact. This shows you're skilled and capable of going above and beyond to get the job done.
For example, if you optimized a financial model that led to a 15% increase in revenue, don't just state the fact. Briefly explain how you did it and why it was essential for the business. This connects the dots for the hiring manager, letting them see what you've done and how you could benefit their team.
You've spent a lot of time perfecting your cover letter, so before you send it, make sure all your hard work isn’t wasted.
The best file format is PDF. It makes sure your formatting stays consistent, no matter what device the hiring manager uses to read your documents, and your layout won’t get scrambled if they accidentally open it with the wrong software.
There's only one exception to the PDF rule—when the job advertisement specifically asks for a different format. If the employer is telling you to send a Word document or paste your cover letter into a text box, do that. Likely, their application system can only handle those formats, and you don’t want all your hard work ending up in the digital trash bin over this.
Key Takeaways
And that’s all there is to perfecting your accountant cover letter!
We hope you feel more confident, and we’re sure you’ll get that job you’re eyeing in no time.

When writing your accountant cover letter, keep in mind that it'll only be read by the recruiters and not the Applicant Tracker System (or software used to assess your profile). That's why you should structure your content with a/an:
Industry standards dictate your paragraphs to be single-spaced and to wrap your content in a one-inch margin. Designing your accountant cover letter, refer to one of our templates , which automatically takes care of the spacing and margins.
Choose the same font for your accountant cover letter as you did for your resume : the likes of Lato and Bitter would help you to stand out in a sea of cover letters in Arial or Times New Roman.
Export your whole accountant cover letter from our builder in PDF to keep the same formatting and image quality.
A simple "Hello" or "Hey" just won't work.
With your accountant cover letter salutation , you set the tone of the whole communication.
You should thus address the hiring managers by using their first (or last name) in your greeting.
But how do you find out who's recruiting for the role?
The easiest way is to look up the role on LinkedIn or the corporate website.
Alternatively, you could also contact the organization via social media or email, for more information.
Unable to still obtain the recruiter's name?
Don't go down the "To whom it may concern path". Instead, start your cover letter with a "Dear HR team".
Moving on from the "Dear Recruiter" to your professional introduction .
Use those first two sentences of your accountant cover letter to present the biggest asset you'd bring to the organization.
Don't go into too much detail about your achievement or the skill set, but instead - go straight for the win.
That is - what is your value as a professional?
Would you be able to build stronger, professional relationships in any type of communication? Or, potentially, integrate seamlessly into the team?
Now that you have the recruiters' attention, it's time to write the chunkiest bit of your accountant cover letter .
The body consists of three to six paragraphs that focus on one of your achievements.
Use your past success to tell a story of how you obtained your most job-crucial skills and know-how (make sure to back these up with tangible metrics).
Another excellent idea for your accountant cover letter's middle paragraphs is to shine a light on your unique professional value.
Write consistently and make sure to present information that is relevant to the role.
Before your signature, you have extra space to close off your accountant cover letter .
Use it to either make a promise or look to the future.
Remind recruiters how invaluable of a candidate you are by showing what you plan to achieve in the role.
Also, note your availability for a potential next meeting (in person or over the telephone).
By showing recruiters that you're thinking about the future, you'd come off as both interested in the opportunity and responsible.
Lacking professional experience isn't the end of the world for your accountant cover letter .
Just be honest that you may not have had roles in the industry, but bring about so much more.
Like, your transferable skills, attained thanks to your whole work and life experience (e.g. the skills your summer spent working abroad taught you).
Or, focus on what makes you, you, and that one past success that can help you stand out and impress recruiters (think of awards you've attained and how they've helped you become a better professional).
Alternatively, write about your passion and drive to land the job and the unique skill set you would bring to enhance the workplace culture.

The header of your cover letter is the first piece of information an employer will see. As such, it should clearly identify who you are and the company and department the letter is intended for.
Your header should include:
To: McMillan Legal Group, Financial Department From: Joe King , Professional Accountant (123) 456-7890 | [email protected] | linkedin.com/in/joe-king
In the headline of your accountant cover letter, you should always use a keyword related to the position, an eye-catching number or trigger word, a powerful adjective or verb, and a promise.
My 3-Step Approach as an Accountant & How It Can Simplify Your Company’s Financial Record System
Trigger Word/Number : 3-Step Approach Keyword: Accountant, Financial Record System Adjective/Verb: Simplify Promise: Your Company – the addition of this statement within your cover letter headline informs the employer that you will specifically explain how your skills can benefit their company.
2. personalize the greeting on your accountant cover letter.
Whenever you write a cover letter as an accountant, it is crucial to use a personalized greeting to start off your letter strong.
A personalized greeting will address a specific person or department within a company by name, showing the employer that you have great attention to detail and have thoroughly researched their business before submitting your cover letter.
If you are unable to discover the exact person or department who will review your application, try out one of the following alternatives:
To the [Company Name] Team
To the [Company Name] Hiring Manager
When well-written, the headline and greeting of your cover letter will help to initially hook an employer’s attention. However, it is the introduction of your cover letter that will ensure that an employer remains attentive and intrigued by the document.
For the introductory paragraph of your accountant cover letter, you should include:
To the [Company Name] Hiring Manager,
I am a professional Accountant with 5+ years of experience working in a corporate FinTech office. Our mutual acquaintance and tax services expert, Jack Smith, recommended me for this position after I assisted him in developing a new digital accounting platform.
Following your introduction are the body paragraphs of your cover letter. You should aim for between 2 to 4 body paragraphs that answer these 4 key questions:
Pay special attention to how you include and describe your relevant accomplishments , as they can help immensely in showing employers the real-life value you can bring to the company.
As an Accountant for [Former Client], I optimized their tax filing system and assisted in filling out the necessary deduction paperwork. In the 3 years I helped with this company’s taxes, I improved their record-keeping system which resulted in a 30% decrease in total value owed in taxes annually.
To conclude your accountant cover letter, you will need a powerful closing statement that includes:
I am eager to further discuss how I can apply my accounting talents for the benefit of your company, and would like to schedule a direct in-person or virtual meeting within the next two weeks. I am available every weekday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and the best way to reach me is at my office number – (123) 456-7890.
Appreciatively,
[Applicant Name]
