Do zoos protect or hurt animals well do they?

Answer 1

Zoos employ animal doctors (veterinarians ), nutritionists, and other professionals to give the best care possible to their animals. Most zoos do this, in an attempt to try, and protect their animals, and keep them as healthy as possible. The average zoo does not set out to hurt, or neglect their animals. Some small, and unregulated zoos, (private collections, or petting zoos), may not be as concerned for the animal's welfare as they should be. Anytime, there is a question in a vistors mind, as to the conditions of an animal, or it's living quarters, it needs to be reported discreetly, but quickly, to the proper authorities. But on average, most zoos, try to keep all their animals healthy and happy.

Answer 2

If they do, its extremely rare. Animals that are kept in a zoo are actually well cared for.

Most zoos do a reasonable job of caring for their animals well. Some zoos do an outstanding job of caring for their animals. Few zoos do a wretched job of caring for their animals. There are state regulators and commjinity watch groups that encourage a very high quality of care for the animals in zoos, but it is a difficult job and even an excellent zoo can have trouble with some exhibits. The Oregon Zoo has a first rate Asian elephant program, but the polar bears are not doing well. Efforts continue to give all the animals a high quality of life.
