The roles of Zoos in conservation The main aim of zoos is to protect and conserve global biodiversity and wildlife. To do this they have four roles to play which are; research‚ conservation‚ education and welfare. Research: Research is the careful search or inquiry for new facts by scientific study of a subject‚ through a course of critical investigation. By studying animals we can learn new things about their behaviour and lifestyle. The Secretary of State’s Standards of Modern Zoo Practice (SSSMZP)

complete lie. For instance the zoo. Every young child likes going to the zoo to see the animals. But what if those animals were being mistreated or weren’t happy animals because of the way their locked up. Would you still wanna go see them? All the animals you thought were safe in their “natural habit” were really in nothing but a prison. I Personally believe that Zoo’s are nothing more than interment camps for animals and should be shut down. I use to love going to the zoo as a child. I adore lions

racism which has been a focal point for historians was that of ’Human Zoos’. These ’zoos’ first began in the early nineteenth century all the way to the twentieth and consisted of colonizers believing that they were superior to others. These were highly controversial exhibitions featuring mainly the indigenous who were being put on display for people to go and look at‚ however the lines between what is human and what is animal soon became blurred.

Zoos are like internment camps and should be shut down. Animals deserve the right to live out their lives in their natural habitat‚ not be the source of human entertainment. Zoos are more detrimental to animals than they are good for them‚ even though there are conservation efforts and educational purposes for having animals in captivity. The negative aspects far outweigh any positive effects when it comes to having animals in captivity due to poor living conditions‚ failure to educate‚ and psychological

scholars is that the health of zoo animals in Britain needs specific attention as a way to counter the increasing push for the banning of zoos. Most scholars tend to specifically address the causes of low health of zoo animals. The most common causes addressed are visitor interactions‚ types of enclosures‚ and a lack of opportunities for wild behavior. There are scholars such as G.R.

species has been insufficient. Species decline is directly correlated to human causes‚ whether in agriculture causing loss of habitat‚ or by the greenhouse effect causing global warming. When a habitat becomes deconstructed‚ the organisms‚ plants‚ and animals that once occupied the area have to reduce their carrying capacity‚ making extinction more probable. Human activities have drastically changed natural greenhouses over the past centuries. This includes burning fossil fuels such as coal or oil which

Animal testing is an unethical and cruel act towards animals‚ but sadly it is done all over the world. I strongly disagree that animals should be used for testing and experimenting that cause them harm. This type of act should be banned and made illegal‚ especially in the US. There are so many reasons it should be banned such as the fact that it is unethical‚ there are other testing option‚ and that it is a costly way of gathering test result. Testing animals is such a cruel thing that I don’t
