Zoos

We need zoos for different types of creatures to look at and to study them, zoos are also used for humans entertain ment (as some people say) Zoos are normal on the out skirts of places too, and zoos and safari parks are different too, because safari parks are for wild animals and zoos are for hand reared animals. Thanks for reading!! So the public can see, and learn about the animals that are usually in the wild.

Zoo breeding programs are also vital to the conservation of a lot of critically endangered species.

1. By keeping animals in zoos, humans are violating various animal rights - choice, freedom

2. Keeping animals in confinement, especially in cages is very cruel

3. Sometimes conditions are very bad and animals suffer due to diseases and hunger

4. Many animals suffer due to mischief by visitors

Typically, employees of most businesses have to be at least 16 to work there. Some places, mainly where alcohol is served or the work is dangerous, will not hire employees who are under 18.

No, many zoos have animal rehabilitation centers, and several try to breed a species so that it is no longer endangered.

Groups like PETA, however, do believe that they are virtual prisons, housing animals only for human enjoyment.

As of June 2014, a one year individual Milwaukee County Zoo pass costs $60. If you include parking with it, the cost increases to $110.

Panda bears DO live in both. However they tend to thrive in zoos instead of the wilds of China because of the special care in zoo habitats. The people living near the Panda polpulation in China are cutting down the bamboo and limiting the Panda Bear's resources.

The state that don't have Zoo's are Iowa, New Hampshire, Vermont and Wyoming.

FYI --- Iowa does have a zoo which started in 1966. It is located in Des Moines and is call The Blank Park Zoo.

From Wikipedia

In 1963, Mr. A.H. Blank donated $150,000 ($916,000 in 2005 dollars) for the construction of a children's zoo on decommissioned Fort Des Moines property. The Des Moines Children's Zoo was officially opened on May 8, 1966,

I so happen to work very close to this zoo.

The Chester Zoo is located in Chester, Pennsylvania. The stakeholders in this zoo are the owners and scientists who do animal research.

There is not currently statistics that show the exact number of people that have been killed by zoo animals over the years. Each year there is a handful of workers and even visitors that are killed by an animal attack.

Well I cant answer that question but I think no because the zoo tends to the animals every need and the wild has predators and prey

Well, animals are great in zoos because they have a chance to live longer and not have to hunt food, and in their habitat they will find others of their type and have more space, so I am not very sure about that question.

A zoo giraffe cage would be a quite big grassy area, it could have a couple trees just like the wild grassland and things for giraffes to eat. A giraffe house for the giraffes to sleep in.

actually if animals are born in captivity they should not be released because they do not have the parents or instincts to help them learn to find food and survive. Think of it this way, if a tiger was born in a zoo and you released it it would die because it didn't have it's parents in the wild to teach it how to hunt and do other things to stay alive, so animals born in captivity must stay in captivity.

they should be kept free because they can have space to move and communicate with relatives and plus if they were in zoos they would communicate through glass which they are suppose to comunicate together.. hope this workss

The average salary for a curator at a zoo is about $50,000. Sometimes they make much more, sometimes less. Their salary is related to the zoo's size and their particular skill set as curators. Curators at traditional museums typically make much more than that.

I am unsure whether there is bigger zoo than Chester Zoo recommended by Forbes as one of Top 15 Zoos in the world. It has 111 Acres and is located in Cheshire (North-Western England). For further reference check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_Zoo

Nope. The only zoos in America that do are the San Diego Zoo, Zoo Atlanta, and the National Zoo.

Most mainstream zoos attempt to provide a 'natural habitat' for the animals in their care. Zookeepers have detailed formulas that pertain to each animals care and feeding to ensure long lives and reproduction. Many zoos, however, do not have the space to provide all of their animals as large a habitat as is comfortable for the specific animals or groups of animals.

Any type of job working in a zoo will probably require that you have at least a 4 year degree. The simple fact about zoo work is that it is hard to "break in" in addition to your degree you are going to have a way better shot actually working in the zoo setting if you have many hours of experience in a zoo or doing wildlife field work. I would suggest doing at least one of the many internships available to college students. The zoo world is pretty small and once you know some people on the inside and they can give you a good reference, you will have a lot better chance getting the job you want.

That they don't let animals roam in different cages == Animals in Zoos ( America, or anywhere to be fair, but I will use America as an example, just to prove my point that America is not perfect) can be beaten, and treated appallingly. One such example took place when an African elephant was transferred from the San Diego Zoo to the San Diego Wild Animal Park; her old caretakers reported seeing her chained to the ground, and beaten on the head with axe handles for two days. Some of the blows were described as "home run swings." Also, another Zookeeper in San Francisco was quoted as saying of Elephants, "You have to motivate them and the way you do that is by beating the hell out of them." This happened in San Diego, and San Francisco, of America. For details see the site listed below.

I believe that zoos use animals for there own need. 1 out of 10 people care about there pet and 1 out of 50 zoos care about the animals the way they should. Bad zoos use cement cages and don't let animals stand on their own feet. This causes them to be unable to fend for themselves. This problem is mostly seen in places like Ethiopia. Unfortunately I cannot find the doco I watched on Australia's ABC channel showing cruelty to bears in poorer countries zoos. Another mistake many zoos make is separating and isolating pack animals. They are called pack animals for a reason. When separated from their pride, pack, pod, flock or herd many animals will die. And in many zoos, not only do they isolate them but, put them in cages with concrete floors, and bars. How would you feel to suddenly be taken from your home where you ran free with your family and put in a cage with a cold, hard floor to be stared at by people day in and day out. Most only looking for less than 30 seconds before making some derogatory remark and walking off. This fact has been proved in a study, which was conducted in America. Most people don't care about the animals, they are just looking for another way to entertain themselves. We have brains for a reason, learn how to use it. *Certain contributions to this question have been moved to the discussion field during the editing process of this answer.

The Ueno Zoo, located in Tokyo, is the biggest zoo in Japan. It has 2,600 animals, 464 species, and occupies 35 acres of land.

No, The San Diego Zoo is bigger than the San Antonio Zoo.

Zoos hunt animals in forests of course! They trap them and put them in cages, and then bring them to the zoo. Then the put them in bigger cages in the zoo, so that scientists can study them and people can enjoy them. Also, many animals are now traded for between zoos. Especially the long lived animals and those that breed easily in the Zoo's enviroment. Breeding and raising the desired animals for zoos, in order to have more of the endangered animals. With the advances in science and storage of sperm and egg, a breeding program can work with several other Zoo's programs to guard the genetic pools of those animals that need close watching. Alot of the seriously endangered are so hard to find in the wild, and the trapping and trip are phycially, and emotionally dangerous for the creature, that removing them from the wild is not a viable option for stocking Zoos any more.
