Denver Zoo

visited a roadside zoo in Cherokee, North Carolina. Many children, adults and families go to zoos for enjoyment, wanting to see animals do something exciting. What these people do not know is what goes on behind that glass and how the animals really feel. Zoos may seem like a happy environment, but in reality these animals are depressed because of where they are living. There are experts that say zoos are educational and are saving the animals. Others disagree and believe zoos are what is…

being said, the fact that many zoos and maritime parks are able to have so many violations is ridiculous. While zoos are usually intended for educational purposes, it is unethical to keep animals for the purpose of human entertainment because captivity decreases animal's health significantly, the habitats aren't even close to a substitute for their natural environment, and zoos do little to improve the quality of life of their animals. . One of the major problems with zoo habitats is their lack…

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,…

A trip to the zoo is always enlightening as no matter how long ago it was we last visited we can always forget something about the animals that live this world with us. Going to the zoo can remind us that we are creatures just like these animals, but also remind us that we are so much more than just animals. Our lives on the surface seem so much more complex than the primates around us, however if we could take the time to observe the lives and the emotions of the animals around us then maybe we…

Zoos Are Inhumane Some people believe that animals in the zoo are being treated badly and that they shouldn’t be kept captive.I agree with that because no animal should be treated unfairly and dragged around to please others. Statistic shows that 1,920 cases were reported for animal abuse in zoos. People that work in the zoos don’t realise the harm they are causing to the animals they only care for the money they are getting from torturing the animals. Animals in the zoo are being treated badly…

options is very important, which is true, but not how giving the animal too many choices and actually cause the animal to become more stressed than they were before. A choice Kurtycz discusses is where an animal decides to spend its time. In modern zoos, animals typically have two places to stay, either outside around the public for viewing and a behind-the-scenes space for human caregivers to care for them. She goes on to explain how some animals become less stressed by having both of these…

As I proceeded to enter the Santa Fe Student Run Zoo, I expected it to be like any other zoo, and honestly it was. Similarly, it had a wide range of adorable, scaly, and furry animals to observe and admire. They had anything from red ruffed lemurs to matschie’s tree kangaroos. Along with providing the public a great place to spend time and learn, they also have a purpose for being student run and open to the public. While, this zoo was partially created for the public’s enjoyment is was majorly…

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…

wondered what happens to animals in zoos, aquariums, and circuses after closing hour? People spend hundreds of dollars coming to these facilities with their families as a “fun” trip. People of the world are contributing to these animals facilities without even knowing what really happens to these animals behind closed doors. Animals are just being treated as props and not as living animals, and it is about time people realize this and make a change. I believe all zoos, aquariums, and circuses…
