The City Zoo is a private non-profitable, volunteer and professional service organization, started in 1905 when “Samantha Fresaer donated a hedgehog to the city park” when it was run by the City itself, until the year 1982 the ownership has been transferred to the Zoological Society. Ever since the City Zoological Society took over the leadership the local economy increased and the zoo made almost 8% in local economy for each tax dollar it
One of the most fun, visually amazing functions to visit are zoo's. Growing up as a kid going to the zoo was so much fun and basically guaranteed a great day out. People have been complaining and questioning the role of zoo's for a long time now. Some claim that it actually kills the animals off faster. Others claim that zoo's actually help protect and preserve the lives of these animals. Only one can make a reasonable argument by studying sources, and finding out statistics. Based off of the articles, "The Stripes Will Survive", "The Zoos Go Wild", and "Our Beautiful Macaws and Why They Need Enrichment", we can truly get in-depth analysis about the role zoo's play.
Do you remember ever going to the zoo as a child? Most children love the zoo. They get to experience animals that they would not normally get to see every day. They also get to learn about those animals and many are greatly affected when they learn about one being endangered and learning that means that there are almost no more left. They want to learn how to help and that is where they learn that they can help. They learn that they too can grow up to be scientists, zoologists, rescuers, wildlife rehabilitators, or spokespeople for wildlife conservation, all of which are important to helping all the animals. Anyone can help by just visiting zoos because zoos rely on their visitors to continue to stay open, care for many amazing animals, and educate the public about wildlife around the world. Some people believe that zoos just take these beautiful animals from the wild and lock them in cages to make money and be cruel. In
There have been many discussions about the welfare of animals since the first zoos were created. Some people agree that animals should be kept in zoo’s, they argue that it benefits the animals because their every need is catered to. However, in some zoo’s they are treated the exact opposite of being catered to. Sometimes the animals are also deprived of a natural environment that the zoo’s fail to recreate. However, zoo’s can be helpful educationally to kids. It gives them a close up on the beauty of the animals, but it comes at the animals expense.
The first reason why students should support zoos is because zoos help fight wildlife extinction. To begin, zoos prioritize much of their time researching their animals. The zoos’ main goal is conservation. In a zoo, conservation is the big thing. They focus of research, preservation, and support wildlife population as much as possible. In zoos, they must research to know everything about animals to help them. They must study the animals’ nutrition, social interaction, behavior, and much more. Also, zoos help endangered animals by taking them to a safe environment. In zoos animals are protected from
In this paper I discuss the creation, distribution, and results of a psychological test. The test consisted of knowledge and self-report sections, which tested the construct of “The AZA and Zoos”. According to their website, The Association of Zoos and aquariums (AZA), is an independent, non-profit organization that grants an optional accreditation to zoos, aquariums, and wildlife sanctuaries. Institutions that meet their strict standards for animal welfare and care after a series of inspections and interviews are granted a five-year accreditation. In addition to their standards for animal care, they are also invested in conservation of species, and education of the general public (AZA, 2016). The knowledge portion evaluated general knowledge of the AZA policies and procedures, while the self-report evaluated overall opinion on Zoos. An example item for the knowledge portion was item three “An AZA accreditation is not necessary to operate a zoo “. An example item for the self-report portion was item 32 “I think zoos are a positive enrichment activity for children “. The intended survey population for this survey was the general population.
People think that animals want to be in zoos, but they really do not. In some zoos the owners or zookeepers see how the environment is making the animals feel bad or good and they try to change it by giving the animals a similar habitat to where they came from. All three stories “The Stripes Will Survive”, “The Zoos Go Wild”, and “Our Beautiful Macaws and Why They Need Enrichment” deal with protecting animals but they all do so in different ways.
In Europe, a visit to the zoo was an expression of wealth. The European zoo provided a novel atmosphere for socializing and an upscale, refined form of recreation, further reinforcing that the European Zoo was for the upper class. A stark contrast, the American zoo, though attracting a diverse audience, has always been a middle class institution. New World zoos provided the opportunity for a diverse population to enjoy a balance of amusement and learning. Patrons of all classes were invited to engage in education and amusement along side of recreation, not experienced in everyday
“Before the early twentieth century, zoos would separate humans from the animals by using a series of moats. In the early 1900s, however, zoos “began displaying animals in realistic exhibits that mimicked actual habitats” (Gioielli, 2016, p. 1). Coupled with the more natural habitat is advancing care for the animals in captivity. More hospitals are being built for animals and better medicine is being created constantly. As a result of healthier and happier animals in increased popularity of animals in captivity. According to Carey (2016), “More than 10,000 zoos are now in operation worldwide . . . the central missions of zoos [are] not only to serve as attractions for recreation and amusement, but also to educate people and promote conservation . . .” (p. 2). Most people do not go to see animals in captivity for the sole purpose of entertainment, they also go to learn about the animals themselves. Both children and adults can learn about how to help protect endangered animals and their habitats. As a result, zoos and aquariums are continually gaining popularity. According to Gazert (2017), “Zoos and aquariums draw 181 million visitors per year in the United States--that’s over half the country’s population, and more visitors than the annual attendance of the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB games combined” (p. 2). Unfortunately, some zoos and aquariums have been known to abuse their animals. While this is not true of all zoos, but the reports of abuse have increased leading to more controversy. Because of this the idea of keeping animals in captive is harder to accept. Still, the sad truth is that animals may have to be in captivity in order to save their species. “A recent report from the World Wildlife Fund warned that without swift and substantial human intervention, over two-thirds of the world’s wildlife could be gone by the end of the decade” (Ganzert, 2017, p. 1). Predictions

Historically, people have collected and kept various animals as status symbols. Many of these “prized collections” were later transformed into public zoos during the 19th century. What began as a private area for zoological study, the zoo eventually became a popular destination for a picnic and entertainment. In those days, animals were confined to small cages, an alienating environment far cry from the open wilderness. While there has been a considerable improvement since then, with the implementation of naturalistic enclosures, the
As the animal rights movement has developed and grown substantially in recent years, there has been an increased focused on the welfare of captive animals. A popular institution that has received much attention for keeping animals captive is the zoo. Because of this focus, zoos have responded by publicizing their positive benefits for existence in order to justify keeping these animals on display. Since the term “zoo” can have a wide variety of meaning and characteristics, it is important to define what constitutes a zoo in this essay. Zoos are defined as a facility in which animals are confined within enclosures, displayed to the public, and
Zoos help people to realize what they do to the environment and how to help save the environment. As stated in the text “Do Animals Lose In Zoos?”, “A study published by the National Science Foundation actually shows that visiting a zoo changes a person's attitude toward animals. If people are not able to see the animals, they will not be inspired to protect them. Animal Research Facilities help humans better understand animal behaviors and how to help them. This also helps humans understand the dangers of some animals. Although the animal’s instincts may lessen, it is important to understand more about the animals. So it stands to reason that Zoos and animal enclosures are important to the survival of the environment, animals, and
