I think zoos are a good intention but bad idea. First, let look at the bad idea. The fact is, animals in captivity are sometime more aggressive then there wild counterparts. Additionally, captive animals are not able to return to the wild without extensive rehabilitation and there are still no guarantees. In addition to that, they are very costly. Some zoos, are public domain and are often sponsored by tax-dollars and when they are not they are costs of admission and these costs are often very high.
But, there are some positive sides to zoos. First, zoos allow zoologists to study animals in unique ways. They can observe there eating behaviors, they can learn their medical Biology (meaning they can learn how heal fix problems the animal might face and then apply similar treatment to animals in the wild if need be). They can teach animals to while learn. Primates (monkeys and gorillas) for example, have known to read, I think heard one could write or draw. One research noticed a distinctive vocal pattern then let her know they was being feed. In an addition to that, and perhaps the most important is we have managed to prevent several animals species from going extinct.
Anyway, I hope I answered your question and let anyone who thinks they can answer better please improve on my answer. Also please for give my grammar and misspelled or misused words. I hope you understood. Thanks.
the majority of zoos are bad for animals
Zoos keep animals to help them. They to keep some of the animals so when they are about to go extinct then there will be some left on earth.
Because the zoos keep the wild animals safe from hunters because they want the animals fur for coats
Many zoos participate in captive breeding programs to aid in conserving endangered populations. By captive breeding exchanges between zoos, not only are endangered species preserved, they are healthy , well fed, and able stock for repopulation.
Yes because keeping zoos is important for animals to avoid extinction. Zoos help preserve species. Sometimes, zoos keep animals and then release them into the wild when the animal is mature enough. Zoos help save animals' lives. If they are disabled, people can help them.
to stop hunters killing them and to breed them.
Some people view zoos as bad because they feel animals are detained. Some zoos are no trained properly to care for the animals they own. Zoos who provide proper medical care, proper diets, and proper living facilities are safe for the animals. Some zoos actually house many injured animals, and care for the ones who could never be returned to the wild.
Zoos have breeding programs for endangered animals so they are helping keep a species alive.
All animals in zoos die eventually. There is no repatriation program worth mentioning.
For people's entertainment and their money
we should not actually get rid of zoos even though they are in cages but if we do not keep zoos animals will become extinct and if we make more zoo the populations of animals will become bigger
Sometimes zoos are very good for the animals and give the whole species a last chance. Conservation is one of the things that zoos do to help the animal species survive. This brings me to the five main reasons why we have zoos. They are conservation, reproduction, education, research and recreation. Conservation is breeding, rescuing, finding homes for, and preserving threatened or endangered species. A zoo that does this hard task extremely well is the Buffalo Zoo.
