Should Zoos Be Paid On Unneeded Thing?

Decent Essays
Zoos have been around for an extremely long time. When someone goes to a zoo, they see animals, gift shops, drink stands, and food stands. Knowing this, zoos spend unnecessary money on unneeded things instead of on the animals. In order for a zoo to run, many workers are needed. Due to so many workers, more money is spent. Along with this, the zoo has to pay the usual expenses such as electricity, water supply, and many other things. This means there is very little left of the budget, and that is put to the animals. The animals end up suffering tremendously due to this. They are lacked food and proper supplies that could help the animal overcome other needs. Such as getting a better enclosure to better suit their environment. Their enclosures

    At a standard zoo, they are usually placed with two roommates and a couple of acres of space (Horton, Howstuffworks.com). These examples can support the claim that zoos can be more defined as a collection of exotic animals, rather than a save haven and home for endangered species. Not only are living standards low, they can become even fatal when zoos need to cut…

    Zoos are helping less and less of animals each year that are going extinct, zoos are providing a safer environment for the animals.

    Are zoos really as sufficient as the animal's natural environment? Many people would argue yes, and believe that they are even better. The animals are no longer trapped in small cages for people to ogle and poke at, instead they are kept in large enclosures, and provided with plenty of food and water. Whereas, in their natural environment it may not always be easy to find the proper food and nutrients, and as a result of this many animals have faced extinction.…

    For starters, zoos can not provide enough sufficient space for the animals to live in. Where in the wild they would have the whole jungle or safari to roam they are all cramped into a tiny living space. The one good thing about keeping them in these cages or enclosures is us, the people, can see them and better understand how they react and interact. Though there is a better way to do so, this one is more convenient to us.…

    Zoochosis In Animals

    Though, I know the establishment of zoos gave people the opportunity to see and learn about different animals from around the world, they play a role in animal conservation and education. It is a way of preserving species of animals that may become extinct in the future. What we do not realize is by keeping these animals in confinement, it is an act of cruelty and we do not know what takes place behind the scenes of the shows and displays of these animals. Studies have indicated that confined animals living with uncommon social groups, different climates, and unsuitable diets, unlike animals living in the wild, can lead to animals suffering from psychological and physical problems such as zoochosis. Zoochosis is a kind of behavior common in…

    The zoo's need to have a change in managing the program, so visitors can have a different view about zoos. The zoo's show people that it is acceptable to interfere with animals and keep animals locked up in captivity; where they might be lonely or cramped because it distorts visitors’ perception of the animals’ freedom. Not all of the zoos have enough amount of space for all of the captured animals. Besides that, the captive animals are being locked up in the zoos where the animals cannot express their liberty. The animal would feel suppressed because the space provided was way too…

    Are Zoos Inhumane? “For most of the wild things on Earth, the future must depend on the conscience of mankind” (Dr. Archie Carr). Some people have never considered the effects of keeping animals locked up in small cages their entire lives. Proven with expert opinions, research, and physical evidence, it has been proven that zoos are damaging to the animal's physical and mental state.

    The exhibit that the animals are in can greatly affect their mental and physical health. Walking in circles for up to twelve hours a day is different from walking a few miles in one day for an elephant. They can get bored when seeing the same walls and trees every day in their lives at the zoo and for very social animals, it’s even worse. They are commonly placed alone in confinement and it makes them depressed and gloomy. When animals are kept in captivity the necessities they need to be healthy and survive are not being…

    Animal Cruelty In Zoos

    In these zoos, animals are treated cruelly and are killed for no reason, animals go through mental/psychological disorders, and lack the nutritious values that are only given to them in the wild. These reasons prove that zoos need to be shut down and these helpless animals deserve to live and thrive in the environment and habitat they come from. It is disturbing to think of how positive zoos are seen and how they are a popular attraction for people of all ages. Next time people go to a zoo, they should look closely at these animals and see the misery and depression in their…

    Zoos protect animals from these dangers and can help reintroduce endangered species back into the wild. “Quite simply without these efforts there would be fewer species alive today and ecosystems and the world as a whole would be poorer for it.” (Source D). These conservation efforts are important to the environment as the extinction of one species could devastate an entire ecosystem. Zoos are able to take care of animals much better than these animals can on their own.…

    Have you ever been to a zoo? Zoos are very popular and everyone has been to at least one, at some point in their life. They are known for showing off the wild animals, and educating you on them at the same time. I don’t think zoos do very well with that. To me, a zoo is a large business that captures wild animals and changes their lives forever.…
