Should animals be kept in zoos for and against?

Animals are equally precious and should equally share God's earth as humans instead of being caged like they are in jail. How would feel if you were locked in a cage for the rest of your life? How would you feel if you were always on exhibition? Animals should not be not be caged. They should be in the wilderness with their families. I therefore strongly believe that animals are better off in the wild.

Firstly, animals should live in their natural habitat and be allowed to roam freely because animals' natural instincts will vanish if they are caged in zoos. Also, some animals are forced to live in climates that they are not accustomed to and this is cruel. For example, the elephant is accustomed to live in tropical climates but is forced to live in zoos in cold countries like Canada.

Additionally, animals are physically and mentally healthier in the wild than in zoos. They are able to have more exercise as they can run around and hunt in larger land spaces in the wilderness. Zoos do not have such large spaces. Caged animals do not know what it is to naturally hunt their food or to explore their environment and to select a mate. This I am sure can be mentally depressing for animals. Also not being able to climb, hunt and run will make the animals obese. In the wild animals are not able to eat their natural foods instead of artificial foods given in some zoos. And these unnatural foods will make the animals sick.

Even though animals can be healthier in the wilderness you might be concerned that animals are being hunted and killed for pleasure or for selling animal parts such ivory from elephants. There is no need to worry. In some countries such as the United States of America, Africa and Canada there are laws against hunting certain types of animal, especially those that are endangered such as elephants, the white tiger and Rhinoceros.

Allowing animals to be free is better for them because they will be allowed to see the beauty of the world just like humans. They should be allowed to live natural healthy lives in the wild. Remember we can share this world with animals without harming and being cruel to them. I positively believe that animals should not be kept in zoos.

How many mammals are in a zoo?

It depends upon the zoo.

Animals will normally be chosen that are rare in the region where they are displayed. So in European and North American zoos, you might have large African species such as the elephant, rhinoceros, and hippo. Or big cats from Africa and Asia, such as the lion, tiger, cheetah, leopard, and panther. Or antelopes, giraffes, gazelles, mountain goats, llamas, and alpacas. Or apes such as chimps, gorillas, orangutans, monkeys, and lemurs. Also hyenas, wolves, and bears.

All of these are mammals.

Do animals get diseases in zoos?

It depends on where in the world. In America, it's very possible if zoo animals come into contact with bats, or if animals introduced to them already have the disease. Also, just recently in the UK, a Barbary macaque was found to have rabies, and it escaped. Sadly it had to be shot dead before it got lost.

Do animals that are taken to zoos rely on humans too much?

Yes, but not from the visitors. Most zoos have strict policies concerning the visitors tossing anything, including food to the animals. Some zoos have food they will allow you to feed to certain animals. As in feeding the birds seed they supply, or Elephants peanuts you get there. But most animals are on diets that are adapted to help each species stay healthy. Usually the keeper measures the food, supplements and vitamins according to the animals levels of activities, their breeding status, gender, and any immediate plans for the animals, while taking into account other factors such as the season, and the weather. Plus the keepers track the food the animals do consume to help determine their health. That would be flawed information if the visitors were feeding the animal. Also many foods that humans eat can be toxic to animals, so they must restrict outside sources of food. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

Do you like going to the zoo?

Speaking for myself, I like going to the zoo, and I like bringing my young friends to the zoo. It exposes them to the natural world beyond what can be found in their local city park, and helps to stimulate their interest and concern for wild things. Yes, many zoo animals have been taken from the wild, but any responsible zoo is more concerned for the welfare of the animals than for getting "trophies" for their collections. These days, most wild-caught animals you see in zoos are long-lived individuals captured before zookeepers began adopting a more conservation-minded approach, or animals rescued from illegal wild-animal trade, or animals captured as part of a scientifically managed conservation program. On balance, I believe that modern zoos managed by responsible people are doing far more good than harm. Others may disagree, and they have every right to disagree respectfully and constructively.

How much does it cost to get into the La Plata Zoo?

General Admission (Entrada General) is AR$6.75, which gives you access to most of the zoo. However, there are several exhibits requiring the more advanced pass (Pasaporte), which costs AR$13.50 and gives you access to exhibits such as the Aquarium, Reptiles and Rainforest, as well as the 'Dragon House' and a boat ride on the lagoon.

The General pass shouldn't be overlooked however, as the majority of the zoo is indeed found within the General layout. Meanwhile, the Aquarium has penguins with both fresh and saltwater fish (including piranhas) in large tanks and the reptile area is eerily captivating (especially for the boys). However, if after purchasing the general pass and you find yourself thinking that the Rainforest exhibit looks too good to pass up, an extra AR$3.30 at the entrance to each additional exhibit will grant you entry.

Should Animals be Kept in Zoos?

For many people, the zoo is a source of childhood amazement and fond memories: swinging monkeys, laughing hyenas and growling tigers. Conservationists say zoos advance their educational and preservationist efforts, but others see zoos as prisons where innocent creatures are unjustly held captive. The next time your child asks you to take them to the zoo, what will your answer be?
