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 reading states that zoos are essential for modern culture and presents 3 reasons. However, the professor claims that zoos do not benefit in any manner and refutes each of the reasons.
First, the reading states that animals are treated really well in zoo. However, the professor refutes the reason by explaining that the treatment does not look pretty. He illustrates that in one zoo, two red pandas died due to rat poison and many cases are present such as this. He further explains that in zoos the animals lack care. As a result, the professor states that zoos do not benefit in any manner.
Second, the reading reasons that animals are not seen as entertainment but as education. In contrast, the author states that zoos houses animals that attract more tourist. He explains that even though animals are used as mean of education, tourists may misunderstand it and many tourists will not be able to understand. Consequently, the author claims that animals cannot serve as form of education.
Finally, the reading supports the argument by explaining that zoos help preserve endangered species. However, the professor refutes the support by explaining that this is problematic. He explains that the success rate is really low and many endangered species breed with their own family members, which results in no advantage. Consequently, the professor states that zoos help to preserve endangered species is problematic and serves no advantage.
