Zoos

well sometime i think Zoos are good so that people can explore the different types of animals, because people know about snakes right but they might not know all the different types, but its also bad because animals in the zoo have a right to live their life in the wild and in their habbitat. but i think that because global warming is happening and polar bears are going to be extinced so they should take any remaining Polar bears now and take care of them in a zoo but i really don't know hope this has helped (it might sound a bit confusing lol)

because they arent in the proper habitat and they dont have all the space they need

Almost all major Zoos are open everyday of the week. They are usually closed for specific days, such as Christmas, or another holiday that is important to the region, and have certain hours that are specific to the season, and the individual zoo's attendance. Some zoos may close in part or completely during different times of the year, either for repair work on the facility to be completed, or due to the weather and it's effect on many animals. It's recommended that you check with the zoo of interest regarding their daily schedule, and specific hours for visitors, or exhibits, and any details concerning special events they may host during holidays.

If you are talking about "We Bought a Zoo", the name of the zoo is Dartmoor Zoological Park and it is located in Devon, England.

Mostly there are excotic animals e.g. Lions, tigers, monkeys, giraffes and gorrilas but they can have other animals such as birds and water animals :)

The St Louis Zoo is always free.

well theres

450 animals that

died at the National Zoo in Malaysia in 2001 and 2002.

Veterinarians are staffed at Avilon Zoo to take care of the animals when they are sick or injured. Care of newborn animals is also provided when needed. Food is readily available as well to the 3,000 animals that inhabit Avilon Zoo.

There are actually a lot of animals that can only be found in zoos. If you're not counting crossbreeds like ligers there are: Micronesian Kingfishers, Barbary lions [though there's still some speculation about whether the lions in question actually are Barbary lions], the Pinta Island tortoise, the Northern White Rhino [though a few have been put on reserves in the hopes of them breeding], and a variety of reptiles and amphibians that are thought to be extinct in the wild just to name a few.

Most don't really mind but some get frustrated.

Additional Info: Most modern zoos are making great strides, or making an effort to meet the needs of their animals by supplying them with "enrichment foods and toys" to help give them mental and physical stimulation. The goal is to give them interesting, and complex things that they can explore, keeping them from the frustration and boredom that so many animals suffer from. This is not practiced in all zoos, but it is gaining in popularity, especially as visitors become aware of it, and it's benefit for the animals long term well being. For more details, please see the site listed below.

Zoos are the antithesis of animal liberation! Animals in captivity on display for human entertainment violates the philosophy of the ALM.

If you are talking about the zoo in the movie "We Bought A Zoo", it is nonexistent. The movie producers actually built an entire zoo from scratch on a private ranch for the movie.

As of July of 2007, in the US, an average salary of $27,000. Average Zoo Keeper salaries for job postings nationwide are 48% lower than average salaries for all job postings nationwide.

For sure bad zoo's should be banned, but defining a bad zoo can be difficult. Some zoo's may not treat animals wonderfully, but they may provide for the animals in a humane way. Some might think it's bad to lock up animals in general, and others might think it's ok so long as you treat the animals with care, others still might think it's ok so long as you provide the needs of the animals.

It really depends upon the zoo and what type of facilities it has. Most zoos have an aquarium of some kind so fish are one sea animal kept in zoos. Others may include penguins and seals or sea lions.

No, the Columbus Zoo is larger.

There are several ways zoos are funded. In the U.S., the majority of zoos are supported partially or entirely by public funds. Some zoos are supported by zoological societies.

The Bronx Zoo is located in Bronx Park, in the Belmont neighborhood, which is roughly in the center of the Bronx.

The zoo's address is 2300 Southern Boulevard, Bronx Park, Bronx, NY, 10460.

Well it really depends on what zoo you live near.

Zoos are bad because of all the animals locked up in cages. The rules state that all animals should be released after one year but most zoos don't follow these rules. If animals are released after one year though they are not in cages the soon die of starvation because the cannot hunt.

because they are.
