Thousands of animals currently reside in zoos around the world. Recently, there has been much debate about the value of zoos in today's world. Careful consideration of the facts reveals that zoos are unethical and should be closed.
First, defenders of zoos say that they are an important way of saving animals from extinction. However, in actuality, zoos have had very little success in protecting animals. One reason for this is because many animals do not thrive in zoos. Breeding in captivity is often .difficult to encourage. Endangered animals fare far better with protection programs that allow them to stay in the wild.
Additionally, zoos do not adequately provide animals with living spaces that are like their natural habitats. As a result, animals are not able to behave as they normally would. For example, a lion in a small cage is not able to run around, much less hunt. In the end, the animals end up depressed or with behavioral problems. This would not occur, of course, if they were not kept in zoos in the first place.
Finally, zoos simply are not the best way to study animals. There are a number of well-researched books available. Alternately, wildlife biologists stand to gain much more knowledge about animals by observing them in the wild. That way, they see how animals interact with other creatures without human interference.
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 a zoo is an incredibly effective tool to save protecting nearly extinct 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, and 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 according to which ops do not provide enough space for wild animals so they may naturally behave themselves.
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.
