Thousands of animals currently inside zoos around the world.
The reading and the lecture are both about pros and cons of zoos as artificial habit of life for wild animals. According to the reading passage, the cons outweigh pros of zoos. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article, she contends that zoos are actually beneficial to wild animals and general public. She uses the following evidence to prove that zoos are neither useless nor harmful to the wild animals.
To begin with, the lecturer contends that zoos are incredibly effective tool to save endangered species. She provides an example of a wild bird Condor, whose population counted to just several species and was in danger of disappearance. Employees of the zoos encouraged those condor to reproduce and breed and then relieved them into the wild. Now the population of condor counts at least several hundreds of species. This statement counters the point made in the article according to which zoos do little to protect animals.
Furthermore, many modern zoos have natural life philosophy, following which, for example, the zoo in North Carolina built thirty seven acres of African planes so the wild animals may behave as in the wild. This statement counters the author’s point that there is no enough space for wild animals for natural behaviour such as hunting or running for wild cats.
By the same token, the professor posits that the best way to study and observe creatures is the closed habitat such as the zoo. Recreated wild life in the zoo make it possible for general public and scientists to review the animals and boost their knowledge about those creatures. This statement beats the author’s point according to which much knowledge could be obtained through wild life review.
