Why We Shouldn T Animals Be In Zoos

Do you ever wonder what happens when their are no visitors at zoos. I think the animals would be mistreated because there's no visitors

By the basic definition, something is rare when it either does not occur often or it is not found in large numbers which adds to its interest and value. The rarity of an object can be argued by different groups of people. This causes debates about what should be considered rare and to what degree of rarity an object is. If said object is classified as rare, what should be done with that object or idea and how, if at all, should it be preserved. In this essay, I am going to question the idea of rarity and show why rarity should not be used as a way to regulate environments.

The article states that zoos are essential TO SOCIETY and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor explains that there are problems with THE AUTHOR'S arguments. The professor doesn’t believe zoos benefit animals or society and refutes each of the author's reasons.

For all of these reasons, in my opinion I think there should not be zoos. The wild animals should not be taken from their original homes. Crazy and dangerous animals could escape and attack or even kill people. Some of the foods that wild animals like to eat might not get to eat those foods. You might not think so, but I really think that there should not be

Are zoos really as sufficient as the animal's natural enviroment? Many people seem to think so, and will even argue that zoos are more suitable. The animals are no longer kept in poor conditions and undersized cages for people to ogle and poke at. Now they kept in large and safe enclosures, and each animal is provided with the space, care and proper food and nourishment that it needs. The days of capturing them from the wild are long gone, now days the animals in the zoos were born there. They do not know anything else, which according to animal activists is a good thing, no longer do the animals have to needlessly die because of hunters or food being scarce.

There are thousands of zoos all around the world, every big city has at least one zoo, this essay will show why zoos are very important and that they should not be banned.

We need to keep a closer eye on zoo animals. We take animals out of their natural habitat and put them in smaller enclosements. Because they are used to being in big, open fields, they may get a little bored or resort back to their natural instincts. Animals such as tigers

In the wild, elephants typically walk around forty miles a day and in packs that can reach up to one hundred members. In zoos, they sometimes have a companion or two and an enclosure that is only a few miles in width and length(6). Zoos have been in existence for a long time, with the earliest known zoo dating back to 3500 B.C. (5).Every year the approximated, seven hundred million people enjoy visits to the zoo, the animals in these zoos however, do not always have as favorable of a time. Most people do not even bother to question what is going on behind the scenes and what they are seeing when they visit zoos because they think it does not concern them, but how would they feel trapped in a zoo. For several reasons, zoos should not

Some of the zoo animals might not be able to eat what they would eat in their habitat.

In the early years of zoos they were meant as a way to show the domination of man over that of animals. As time passed they developed into the zoos that we know today, now providing the purpose of entertainment, education, species preservation, and scientific research. While are this is sounds nice Jamieson argues that zoos give humans a sense of falsehood when it comes to the pecking order of the natural world. As kids go to the zoo they can obtained the idea that animals are there for the sense of our pleasure and our own purpose. Jamieson states that “morality and perhaps our very survival required that we learn to live as one species among many rather than as one species over many” (Jamieson, 2012) Zoos in the end teach us that we are better off being abolished. Numerous animals suffer while being in zoos. Chimpanzees in zoos have long suffered due to their weakness to human respiratory diseases. For many decades humans would remove them from the wild only for them to face certain death. Other animals have suffered as well from being in cold cells, overweight, and fed

“In the wild, elephants walk up to 30 miles each day, bears are active for up to 18 hours a day exploring their home ranges for up to hundreds of miles, and tigers and lions love running and climbing and will roam many miles to hunt.” But not in zoos. When locked behind bars, animals live cramped, lonely lives. All the natural and important things animals do in the wild vanish. Birds lose the privilege of flying. Lions, usually living among large herds, are kept alone. Zoos have negative effects on animals and lead to suffering all over the world.

According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), over 4,000 species of animals on Earth are endangered, which means these species have a very high risk of becoming extinct. They become extinct for many reasons, such as climate change, habitat loss, and poaching (The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species). In the Encyclopedia of Environmental Issues, John Richard Schrock says that organizations, such as the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), think zoos are prisons, which is the complete opposite of conservation groups that believe zoos help in repopulating animals that would have gone extinct without the conservation efforts (45-48). Although many people wish for zoos to close, these places are beneficial and may be the only hope for the continuation of some species of animals.

Imagine yourself just chilling around in the wild, the only place you are familiar with, and the next thing you know, you get taken and put inside a small enclosure which becomes your home. Well, that is what animals who are taken out of the wild and mostly put inside a zoo feel like. Animals can receive serious health issues when kept in a zoo, most of the times not treated properly and used for entertainment rather than educational purposes. I believe that this is an urgent issue and I think that it is essential for wild animals to stay in the wild and not kept in enclosures.

These animals can't survive in zoos forever, their being taken away from their real habitats. They’re being used for money, entertainment, and publicity. Zoos shouldn’t exist because they’re harmful and not safe for the animals, they use them like they’re in the circus and for advantage, and they use them for their own lives.

Zoos should close down because stress in animals is very common in zoos. According to the article “Zoochosis” by Stephanie Santana and Shauwn Lukose, animals in zoos have developed a mental illness called zoochosis. Animals with zoochosis pace back and forth in never ending circles, turn their necks, bob their heads up and down, and even tear holes in their own skin! Zoo animals are so stressed that they want to hurt themselves. Can you imagine being so miserable that it makes you harm yourself? If animals kill themselves with zoochosis, then zoos can’t save animals. They give animals a death sentence. Not only that, but the graph “Life Span of Elephants in Zoos and the Wild” states that female
