Some critics contend that keeping animals in zoos is inhumane and must be changed. They believe that zoos are unnatural and provide no real benefit to society besides providing entertainment at the expense of the animals involved. The truth is that zoos are essential to a modern culture that places value in animal life.
Animals are treated well in zoos. In fact, the most passionate animal lovers are usually the animal keepers found in zoos. They ensure that the animals maintain the same level of psychological “happiness” as their wild counterparts. They, along with the zoo itself, help animals live longer, feed better, and suffer from fewer diseases; These animals are allowed to exist without the fear of predation or famine because of zoos.
Additionally, zoos are no longer seen as or marketed as forms of entertainment, but as education. Zoos work to inform the public about exhibited animals, wildlife in general, and the important need to preserve our Earth. The emphasis on conservation and education is an important one. Visitors are taught about issues and animals that they would never have direct experience with otherwise. Thus, zoos provide a crucial tool to direct the public towards more humane ways to look at the world.
Finally, zoos serve the vital function of helping to protect and preserve endangered species. For example, the Golden Lion Tamarins are an endangered species native to Brazil. In the early part of the 1970s, only around 200 of these small monkeys existed. It was only through the coordinated actions of several zoos and the Brazilian government that these animals were saved from extinction. Today, as a result of these efforts, you can find about 1,500 living in the wild.

Some critics believe that the zoos are inhuman to animals but the article states that zoos are essential and provides value to animal life. The author provides three reasons for the same. Whereas the lecturer totally refutes the idea pitched by the author and says zoos in no way do any benefit to the animals. He has provided examples to counter every reason given by the author.
First, the author believes that the animals are treated very well inside the zoos. The lecturer refuses the author opinion saying the animals are not treated pretty in the zoo. He brings about the recent incident in one of the zoo where rat poison leads to the death of two red pandas. Although, the life of these pandas could have been saved by the safety manger but they were not found anywhere near the crime scene. This is just one of many incidents which shows the lack of care given to animals in the zoo.
Second, the author states that the zoos are marked as a source of education rather than for entertainment. The professor refutes the author’s statement as most of the animals in the zoo are kept to attract more visitor instead of providing information about different types of animals. This encourages the wrong idea of using animals for own purpose. If some of the different animals are shown, they are put in very artificial and misleading way. Thus, it doesn’t adds up as a the source of education.
Third, the author states that zoos are a brilliant way to provide shelter to protect endangered species. The lecturer refutes the idea saying that the example mentioned by the author is the situation of one out of 100 zoos. Overall success rate of inhabiting endangered species is poor. In most of the zoos, these species when kept inside interbreed within themselves leading to increase in birth defects. Thus, it has proved to be of no advantage for the endangered species.
