Zoos
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.
The article states that zoos are essential to a modern culture and that places value in animal life and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor explains that zoos have no benefit for society and refutes each of the author’s reasons.
First, the reading posits that zoos are treating animals well. The professor refutes this point by stating that zoos do not treat them so pretty. He gives one example of the death of two read pandas caused by rat poison. This is the problem of safety management in zoos. Animal keepers are careless in taking care of the animals in the zoos.
Second, the article claims that the zoos are no longer use animals as entertainment but as educational purposes such as exhibition and educating children on protecting animals. However, the professor contends that only a few numbers of zoos are using animals for education but the majority are using animals to attract visitors. In most case, animals are shown in artificial and misleading exhibition.
Third, the reading avers that zoos help to protect endangered animal and gives one example of Golden Lion Tamarins were protected from extinct by the zoo. The lecture opposes this point by saying that this a problem. He explains that the rate of this successful zoo is extremely low and animals kept in zoos usually get interbred with family, which results in birth defects. He concludes that zoos have no advantage to animal’s wild habitat.
