the inbreeding in zoos is hurting populations of animals in zoos rather than helping them. The type of person that would read this article is someone interested in the breeding practices of zoos. Inbreeding has proven to weaken the immune system and breeding capabilities of these animals. Inbreeding is an undesirable method of conservation for the animals because it ultimately causes damage to their health. I will use this source to combat the other article that I found about the zoo in…
Going to the zoo was always fun as a child, and going there with a school field trip, or going with one's family, one would always have a great time. Over 180 million people visit zoos each year, and 500 million of them are students. Zoos are great for the people visiting them, and the zoo animals themselves. I am all for zoos, they can provide safe homes for animals, or a fun and easy way to see animals that you couldn’t normally see. Going to a zoo is one of the best things a child can do,…
Zoos Think about this. You are going to be taken from your home and from your family. After that, you will be taken to a zoo and be kept captive there for a very long time. Nobody wants that to happen to them. Animals should not be kept captive in zoos. First, most animals are not endangered and therefore they should not be put in zoos (Why you should not support Zoos). Second, animals should not be used as entertainment for human purposes (Zoos neither educate nor empower children). Lastly,…
to a zoo? Most people probably have. Some think that zoos are great while others think that they are awful. Personally, I feel that zoos are mostly good but can be bad. Zoos are good because they can educate and entertain people and also help with conservation efforts. However, zoos can be bad because of the treatment of the animals. Zoos are amazing places full of education and entertainment. They allow people to see exotic animals that they would never have been able to see normally. Zoos…
Many people think zoos are bad for animals and think it is cruel, but they do not know the truth. Zoos help prevent extinction, support endangered animals, educate the public, and help save animals in bad conditions. Zoos benefit the lives of animals and their population. Zoos help prevent extinction of species. Earth is currently in a global extinction crisis. Almost one fourth of all known mammals are threatened with extinction. The percentage is even higher for invertebrates, over a third…
Were you aware that most zoos used to only have animals people have heard about but not seen? Mostly big and impressive species, like lions. We should have zoos because they keep animals safe and entertain and inform people about the animals. But, the animals are not learning what they need to learn to survive the wild. First and foremost, some animals are threatened in the wild. Those animals are kept perfectly safe in zoos. The animals have medical care and are well-fed. As well as having…
Memories are special, they remind you of the things you love and why you love that thing. Almost everyone has a memory about going to the zoo with your parents. Do you think zoos treat their animals ? If you said yes, well you’re wrong. A big problem that zoos have to face is, the animals are kept in enclosures that aren’t a fit space for the animal that is inside. They think if they trees and cool paintings it will make it all good. They are wrong, animals are there for years and they will find…
whether or not zoos should be allowed. While the anti-zoo movement people say that “zoos take away all of the animals rights”, I believe that this statement is false, because they are regulated for animals health by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). I also know that this claim is false because they preserve genetic diversity among endangered species. In the US zoos are “Run to a strict standard, with licenses and regular welfare checks all being required”. This proves that zoos are…
Have you ever been to a zoo and seen happy, protected animals? Well, that happens all the time at most zoos. When you are younger, it seems like zoos are all about entertainment, but really the zoos are protecting the animals. In “The Stripes will Survive,” they create comfortable spaces for the animals, and use a family tree for selective breeding, and they keep away poachers. In “The Zoos Go Wild,” they made the habitat bigger, they put Willie the gorilla with 3 other women, and they kept him…
Orcas in the wild swim up to 100 miles every day, in a zoo they are locked into a small cement box. Polar bears have evolved to live in hundreds to thousands of square kilometers and are forced to live in zoos millions of times smaller than the size of their natural home. This shows just a glimpse of how awful zoos are for wild animals who should be out roaming in their natural home for miles upon miles, only stopping when they are tired. In zoos, the animals are confined to the walls humans put…
