Ex-situ conservation

Animals are born with natural instincts that kick in at a very young age. If an animal is raised in a zoo it may not know what to do when released into the wild. These animals may not be able to survive. So which is best for the animals, the wild or the zoo? Honestly, I believe animals should live in the wild. When an animal is born in captivity their natural instincts may not kick in. These animals are raised without the fear of predators, the instinct to hunt, or even to be on their own. Once the animals are released into the wild they are subject to predators and poachers. These animals will expect their food to be given to them, and this might cause them to eventually starve to death. Raising animals in captivity decreases their chances of survival in the wild drastically. According to “The Impact of Animal Protection” the release of animals from captivity will be very dangerous since they’re just released back to their home, they will need their instincts that they may have forgotten how to use. This is why animals are better off in the wild because, it won’t be dangerous to release them back to the wild because they are already there knowing what to do and how to do it. In the wild they will get use to the predators and know what to do if they come close to taking them from existence also they will know how to get there food when it comes to time. They will and can protect thereself in the wild from these instincts of theres. The animals released may be terrified…

in zoos and similar facilities are valid. The pro-rights group is correct in that the intentional deprivation of a being’s freedom merely to make a business of it is all but despicable. Even more, there is no reason to maintain zoos in such poor conditions that physically harm the animals being kept. That’s not to say, however, that the whole concept of animal captivity should be dismissed as cruel and unjust, as there are certain circumstances in which it can be justified. There are several…

Zoos are often criticized for having improper requirements. But most zoos have natural habitats in them and They have a big domain. I believe that zoos are helping save animals lives. My first reason is that they live longer. It has been scientifically proven that most animals live longer in captivity. The average wild turkey vulture lives to be nine years old. The average turkey vulture in captivity lives to be 12 years old. That just proves that captivity is better for most animals. My…

It was an ordinary day, with my family going to the zoo. For me it was so interesting and beautiful how every animal acted in a certain type of way. I was with my little sister Grace, my parents, and my beautiful daughter Emily. We had so much fun that day. Feeling the nice hot sun, listening to different animal sounds specially the chirping of the birds. Everything was so amazing. Watching Emily's big hazel eyes in amazement was priceless. We were passing by the giraffe pen, and then we…

My first reason is that zoos are…

Main Point 3: Zoos and marine parks do not help endangered species. a. Sub-point A: Most endangered species are breed in captivity and stay captive since they become dependent on their owners. If they were sent out into the wild they would have a low chance of being able to survive on their own. b. Sub-point B: According to peta.org, babies bring in paying visitors to these amusement parks. In reality these babies are never going to be released into the wild. Conservation starts off in the…

Primates are very complex, fascinating and very interesting animals to observe and learn about mainly because they share certain behaviors and characteristics as humans. Humans over the years have taken a great interest in these animals because of that and one way to learn about these animals is going to a local zoo to see how these animals live, act and behave on a day to day basic and also give insight as to where humans get certain behavioral traits. On the 18th of February I had the…
