Zoos

Some people believe that animals can be kept in zoos. One positive reason given is to keep threatened species alive.

Many people belive that it is wrong to keep any wild animal in a zoo.

It does come down to a matter of opinion.

Some more modern zoos do at least give the animals large open spaces to live in without cages - but they are enclosed.

The Chester Zoo is located in Upton-by-Chester in the United Kingdom and opened in 1931. The zoo provides educational and conservation resources on wildlife.

The exact number of people who go to zoos each year is not classified.

It is estimated that the average person goes to a zoo at least once a year. Most estimate that over 4.5 billion people go to zoos each year.

Africa and China are where most of the zoo animals come from. Most people want to see the lions, tigers, and pandas.

The number of zoo keepers in a zoo depends on how many animals there are and how much care the animals need. Often the zoo staff is supplemented by a volunteer staff.

Of course. Zoos brag about conservation efforts and breeding programs to save endangered species, but it is all for profit. People want to see exotic, adorable baby animals. Notice zoos are never dedicated to breeding ugly endangered species. After cute baby animals grow up, they are traded, sold to circuses, or worse. Zoos do not care about splitting up families and emotionally damaging their animals. If zoos cared about wild animals, they would have sanctuaries in natural habitats to save wild animals from environmental degradation and human poachers. Zoos exist for human entertainment.

sometimes it maters if the animals went crazy or not on the zookeeper.

Most zoos have only 1 veterinarian at a time and then have consultants to help them. Some however hire more such as the Denver Zoo which currently has 3 vets on their staff with assistants and vet techs to help them.

Zoos are defiantly a need to have in the future to help animals that are becoming extinct

Because in the wild, there is a possibility that the lion won't find/catch food sometimes, while in a zoo, they get fed on a regular basis, there won't be a time when they have to miss a meal. Plus, lions get hunted in the wild, but nobody's just going to bring a gun to the zoo and shoot a lion.

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.

why were zoo's built
