    Some argue that zoos are fundamental to the education of their children. Additionally, some believe zoos allow children to bond with the animals. However, since animals are trapped in smaller environments, they act differently than they do in the wild. Therefore, there is no real educational value in observing these trapped animals. Animals in confinement do not hunt, play, or act as they do in their natural habitat, hence children are learning false behaviors of animals. Zoo advocates also espouse the belief that zoos are instrumental in protecting endangered species. Nevertheless, only seventeen percent of the species in zoos are endangered (“Zoo Statistics”). Many of the endangered species in zoos are stolen from the wilderness and the chances of being released back are nearly impossible because zoos need them for money (Russo). Furthermore, zoos do not release endangered animals because their ability to survive in the wild has greatly diminished as a result of time spent in captivity (Russo). The best way to preserve animals in danger of extinction is to protect them in their natural habitats, not imprison them in…

    Primate Behavior

    • 1539 Words

    The animal that most resembles us is the ape. At the zoo, it is easy to observe behavioral and facial expressions in monkeys and apes that are very much similar to our own. A group of apes could very well seem like a family. A mother taking care of her young may seem familiar to the human onlooker. This is because the ape is our closest living relative. In the documentary Primate Behavior, anthropologists observe the behavior of monkeys and primates. The primates are mostly observed in the wild, as they are better understood while placed in a natural setting. This is where the social structure of the primate can really be interpreted.…

    Major groups of primates

    • 540 Words
    • 3 Pages

    I thought that this question was very interesting because primates are the closest living relatives to humans. Primates are fascinating because they resemble a primitive or basal version of ourselves and at the same time are also quite different from us as well. There is a large number of primate species both in the African and Asian continents as well as in the Americas. Those species that are found in Africa and Asia are collectively called old world monkeys and apes. The species found in the Americas are known as new world monkeys. An interesting feature that many of the new world monkeys have that old world monkeys do not is a prehensile tail which can be used as a fifth limb. Another interesting difference is that thanks in part to their prehensile tails the new world monkeys are almost entirely arboreal while the old world monkeys are both terrestrial and arboreal.…

    Pros And Cons Of Zoos

    • 1026 Words
    • 5 Pages

    When an animals is seen pacing because they are most likely bored from the confined space they are occupying, visitors just move on to another display were they will hopefully encounter an animal that can do tricks. If anything the failure to educate visitors about the facts of animals in captivity shy away from the fact that wild animals being in zoos is just not good for them. If people knew what happened beyond the few minutes they get to spend with the animals, they probably would not want to go to the zoo. Of course, that would not be advantageous for the zoos because they need the funds and employment. Generally, the exhibits for each animal doesn’t even provide sufficient information about the animal’s natural tendencies. A CAPS study found that forty-one percent of animals on display in UK aquariums had no signs of identification of their species, which is the most basic information (captiveanimals.org). So, not only are visitors not educated but they are oblivious to the life that animals live in…

    In her essay, "Am I Blue," Alice Walker points out that she was unprepared for the expression in Blue's eyes. Blue was lonely and bored, and this could be seen by just looking into his eyes. In Vicki Hearne's essay, "What's Wrong With Animal Rights," she notes the expression of creature comforts. The author points out that when animals, such as dogs, are at their happiest, they are experiencing creature comforts. Anyone who has been around animals knows the difference between when the animal is happy versus when it is upset. Wild animals are happiest when they are in their natural habitat. Today, many animals are in captivity, due to the fact that they are becoming extinct or due to some other factor. I agree with the idea in the Melissa Greene essay. In her essay, "No Rms, Jungle Vu," Melissa Greene explains how people created a zoo that was very close to the animal's natural environment. This made the animals much happier and also allowed the visitors to the zoo to observe the animals at their natural behavior. "No Rms, Jungle," points out that gorillas live in large groups in the wild, but most zoos put them in pairs. This showed an example how the gorillas act differently toward breeding and pointed out that successful breeding among the captive gorillas didn't begin until they were housed in large family groups. These are just a few examples of how we can see the different emotions of…

    Zoos claim that they replenish endangered species by taking them into a safer environment with helping hands, being protected from habitat loss, malnourishment and predators. Numerous zoo owners claim that restoring endangered species is their motivation and prime goal. It has also been argued that, in today 's society, where animals deal with constant threats, zoos are the number one harmless places for wild animals. Zoo authorities do not entitle themselves with the best performance of zoo workers; in fact they admit to the different problems that captivated animals tend to suffer over. Nonetheless, they additionally expect people to appreciate the sincere efforts taken by them to defend and realm wild…
