“Don’t zoos teach children
important lessons about wildlife?”
INTRO: "Many zoo officials focus on profits rather than
the well-being of the animals. A former director of the
Atlanta Zoo once remarked that he was “too far removed from the
animals; they’re the last thing I worry about with all the other
problems.” Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals
in captivity, where they are bored, cramped, lonely, far from their
natural homes, and at the mercy and whim of people." (...click here

GUESTBOOK 4 ANIMALS
“Don’t zoos help preserve
endangered species?”
Most animals in zoos are not endangered or being
prepared for release into natural habitats. In fact, it is nearly
impossible to release captive-bred animals into the
wild. A report by the World Society for the
Protection of Animals showed that only 1,200 out of the 10,000 zoos
worldwide are registered for captive breeding and wildlife
conservation and that only 2 percent of the world’s threatened or
endangered species are registered in breeding
programs.
Rather than nurturing animals to thrive
in natural settings, zoos place very unnatural restrictions on
their residents. For example, in zoos, polar bears are typically
confined to spaces that are only one-millionth the size of their
minimum home range in the wild. Animals who roam across large
distances in nature often exhibit dementia and stereotypical
behaviors from boredom when placed in zoo enclosures, endlessly
pacing or swimming in circles.
Ultimately, we will only save endangered species by preserving
their habitats and protecting them from hunters—not by breeding a
few individuals in captivity. Instead of supporting zoos, we should
support groups like the International Primate Protection League,
the Born Free Foundation, the African Wildlife Foundation, and
other organizations that work to preserve habitats, and we should
help nonprofit sanctuaries, like Primarily Primates and the
Performing Animal Welfare Society, that rescue and care for exotic
animals without selling or breeding them.
