Should We Keep Animals in Zoos? The Animal Welfare Act establishes that all UK zoo enclosures must provide “sufficient space to allow each animal to make normal posture and social adjustments”. Is this enough for e welfare of every captive animal? I am going to look at both sides considering whether or not we should keep animals in zoos? One of the main problems with zoos is the lack of space in the enclosure. Zoos cannot provide the area of space that an animal has in the wild‚ especially not

Are our zoos cruel to wild animals Humankind has a long history of relationship with animals. Many people believe that animals play a very important role in human life. They are living-organisms‚ we see around us every day and like we humans‚ they respire‚ they eat‚ they move and try to survive in this world. These creatures have always attracted us by their beauty‚ their way of living‚ their abilities or skills (running‚ jumping‚ attacking etc). People have always wanted to see these beautiful

The word zoo is a fairly broad term. Zoos are most commonly thought of as an attraction rather than a means for education. More importantly‚ they are rarely associated with the survival of the human race. While zoos are a form of entertainment for the public and a taxable industry for the government; most of them do in fact research the animals they have in their captivity. This research can be beneficial and life saving for humans and if it were not for this testing‚ we would not have many key vaccines

one of us has grown up with fond childhood memories of visiting the local zoo amongst family and friends. After all‚ where else can one see animals from all over the world in one place? In the midst of all the fun and enjoyment we have all experienced from zoos‚ we have failed to take into account the life of the things that we are so excited about seeing there – the animals. Each and every day‚ the animals enclosed in zoos for human entertainment are exposed to abuse‚ cruelty‚ and most importantly

into a zoo‚ you have stepped into a prison in which the inmates are defenseless and innocent‚ the sentence is long‚ and the penalty is cruel and severe. Zoos are not made for educational purposes but for entertainment‚ they do not benefit animals but push them toward extinction. "Zoos range in size and quality from cage-less parks to small roadside menageries with concrete slabs and iron bars." (Zoos: Pitiful Prisons.) The larger the zoo and the greater the number and variety of the animals it contains

Are Zoos Ethical? Imagine pacing nearly the entire day‚ hugging the walls of a cramped living space. Envision going back and forth‚ back and forth‚ and repeating. This is neither a life of pleasure nor excitement. Unfortunately‚ this is what some animals at John Ball Zoo‚ such as the tapir‚ do daily. Although zoos are very important for animals’ health‚ protection‚ and nutrition‚ John Ball Zoo is too small for them. Zoos are very important to the health of many animals. With zookeepers carefully

Zoos‚ a place where endangered species are taken into thrive and start a new life. Every year thousands of different animals are brought into zoos. Although many people today view zoos as prisons for animals‚ the reality is‚ zoos create a habitat for animals that in the wild could go days without eating‚ but in zoos are kept healthy and strong all year and animals that could be extinct in the wild‚ are still existent in zoos today. Just like everything else‚ there are some who agree‚ and some

The Zoo and Its Benefits Zoos bring human kind closer to wild life. Though‚ sometimes that means taking the animal out of its natural habitat. Some animals have lost most of their habitat and are on the verge of extinction. In this way‚ the zoo helps the animals rather than using them as a form of human entertainment. Zoos also allow humans to study different kinds of animals more closely. Some zoos on the other hand manipulate the animals to acquire as much revenue as possible rather than
