Don’t you just love to go to zoos and see your favorite rare animal, which you couldn’t see in your home town? Well I sure do! So does the 150 million people who visit 500 zoos in a year. I think I know why people like zoos so much… because they offer and provide protection for wild animals, it breeds endangered animals so there will be more if them, it also provides education for young children who don’t know much about nature. Zoos have the right kind of animals and material to help them understand zoos. I strongly believe zoos are good. In the first place, zoos give out education to young children, who probley don’t have very much access to nature and who probley live in the city. That’s where zoos come in. They take the part of teaching you and me about the part of nature and rare animals we can’t see or admire where we live. Zoos give that opportunity to children maybe sometimes even adults. I can tell you that almost every person reading this took a felid trip to the zoo when they were in grade school. Well I have. When I went I admired the sharks the most. When I went through the tunnel where the sharks where, I saw that the sharks where zooming through the water trying to catch their lunch almost as if no one was there, and as if he was in the wild. …show more content…
Most people would think that care takers would just think about new and affective ways to help the endangered animals get better. But they go above and beyond of that. They find resources to help them find out what breeding program would work best for that specific animal. When they do find that breeding program that will fit the animal’s needs, they work very successfully on comforting the animal every step of the
On one hand, people see zoos as a place for endangered and neglected animals that need assistance to survive. It has been a tradition for decades to visit a zoo and spend time with family and friends. By visiting a zoo, the public is educated and can personally see the beauty of nature, unlike a documentary. Visitors may then be encouraged to donate money to conserve and research wildlife. Not only do zoos benefit mankind, but they also work for the welfare of the animals. Take into consideration the story of orphan Leo, a snow leopard cub from Pakistan. Although once abandoned, Leo is now alive and well, thanks to the Bronx Zoo. Many endangered species have be...
Thousands of zoos worldwide are visited by citizens yearly to admire and satisfy their curiosity of the beautiful wild animals that mother nature has to offer. Zoos have been around for hundreds of years and have become a known tradition for numerous school field trips and family outings. The ongoing debate between animal rights activists and zoo officials remains, should wild animals be taken from their natural habitats to live in city zoos for education and entertainment purposes?
Zoos are a popular place to bring students for a field trip. Besides the entertainment value, children can learn about the different animals of the world and see how ea...
Professor Livia Dobutsu from the University of Newcastle says: “Although we all know that zoos are very beneficial to the wild and saving endangered species, the fact
Zoos and other places that have animals are a great place for families or even just people to visit. They are entertaining for young children to see the different kinds of animals, yet still enjoyable for adults as we as humans never cease to be fascinated by them. How could a place that seems so wonderful, be so bad? It isn’t.
Tigers, lions, giraffes, and other exotic animals are rarely seen in the wild. However the public, without humans and/or animals being harmed at the same time, can see exotic animals when a zoo opens. Zoos for many are a wonderful experience, but to others they see the animals as being treated poorly and not able to roam free. These people do not consider the beneficial sides of zoos. Zoos around the world help species that have been endangered by protecting and caring for them. Otherwise they would have became extinct and killed for their valuable fur or feathers. Zoos were created for a purpose that needed to be filled. If there were no purpose for them they would have not been created. Zoos are needed and if there is a need in this world, the spot will most likely be filled without hesitation. Some zoos were not trained properly and do not treat their animals very well. Some bad zoos do not feed their animals enough and keep them in a confined cage. Although some zoos are harmful for both animals and people, many of them are good zoos and take care of their animals better than most people take care of them selves. It is amazing to be able to see such care and love are associated with zoos. Not only do zoos help the endangered animals they also help people learn to respect such amazing creatures. Zoos are a good attribute to society because they promote education, research, protect, conserve, and outlook.
As a kid, I had always looked forward to days at the zoo. I was, however, far more interested in the jungle-themed surroundings than the educational parts. I was told that zoos protected animals and took good care of them. Now I'm not too sure that's the truth. Animals like tigers, lions, and elephants are born to live and grow up in the wild. They aren't meant to live inside of a cage in a zoo. Not only that, but the animals' health isn't as good as you'd expect. Although lots time and money has been spent on zoos, animals are still suffering. Zoos are fun and exciting for kids and tourists, however, the animals aren't enjoying it as much as us.
Zoos are perhaps one of the most popular forms of museum on the planet. Some of these vast, sprawling landscapes are filled with species from every continent on the planet, representing a vast portion of life found on the earth. A child from Iowa can get the opportunity to see a polar bear, a zebra, and rare species of birds, insects, and countless other animals all in the course of a day. Zoos truly provide a unique and profound experience for those with an open and curious mind. But, the nature of a zoo is not purely entertainment. These collections of creatures big and small also serve the purpose of education, conservation, and research. These reasons are enumerated well in the mission statement of the St. Louis Zoo as “To conserve animals
Zoos in the 21st century are beneficial in so many ways. Not only do they provide a safe habitat for mainly rescued animals, but they breed endangered animals for release into the wild. Some species are having much difficulty breeding because their lack of suitable habitats from the destruction of mankind. Every year, numerous animals go extinct. If we had these species in a breeding program in a zoo or sanctuary, we may not have lost them forever. The histories of zoos have not always been the best. They have not always been used for conservation and protection, but most facilities today protect their animals and do what is best for them. Some say that zoos and sanctuaries are bad for the
What do you think about zoos? Children standing in front of big cages, feel excited to see those lovely animals and share the joy with their parents. Parents will then read aloud the information on the signs to educate the children. At lunch hour, animals in bonds wait for delicious dishes provided by zoo keepers and live happily ever after. It seems that zoos are really a heaven to us and animals. It gives us a place to keep close to nature, saving those little pitiful things in wild. Unluckily, that is not the truth we wished. Indeed, zoos magnify their contribution to educational circle, exaggerating the importance of role play in conservation work, in order to cover those disgraceful secrets behind.
Although its origins may have come from a fascination of exotic animals, throughout the years, zoos have constantly evolved and improved beyond their early predecessors; however, it has always involved the process of scientific inquiry. Today’s modern day zoo does not merely exist for entertainment value, even though many guests may initially visit with amusement in mind, most walk away with a greater knowledge of wildlife and the current issues they are facing within our environment. Zoos serve as an ambassador for wildlife through constant protection, rehabilitation, and conservation efforts.
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 being concerned with the welfare of each animal.
Zoos help animals survive if they are sick, hurt, or just can't live on there own. According to the Saint Louis Zoo “About 41% of all amphibian species and 26% of all mammals are now threatened with extinction, and fully half of the world’s primates” (paragraph 1). If most of the animals in the world were in zoos we wouldn't have extinction for animals. When we go to the zoo and look at the animals some people will say that it is a terrible environment, but if they really put a lot of thought into it some people will understand how good zoos are to these animals.
Zoos could be considered wonderful, as well as being considered unacceptable. Either way zoos are a massive part of society, as millions of people visit them worldwide. Zoos have had their positive parts and their critical parts. Despite the negative parts that have taken place over the years. Zoos should be recognized as an extraordinary thing. As well as a thing that is up in arms for the animals that inhabit them. Accordingly zoos keep animals safe and alive.Shirley McMarlin a staff writer at the Tribune-Review states the following on her opinion on zoos.“Zoos are an essential resource for the consecration of many endangered and threatened species.” Afterwards goes on to cite
The first reason why many feel that zoos are cruel and unnecessary is because animals are found crammed into little cages. Would you like to be crammed into a little cage? Well neither do these animals and they deserve the right
