Disadvantages of keeping animals in zoos
Hello everybody.
My partner has just showed us some benefits of zoos. So now, I am going to talk about the disadvantages of keeping animals in zoos.
There are 3 main points that I want to emphasize: Moral perspective, then Abuse and mistreatment, and the final is Wrong Information because of their stress behavior
First of all is about the animals’ right. Are zoos really better for the animals, or just for human?
In fact, humans are animals too. What if some kind of animals got smart and decided to capture humans in zoos? Do people ever think of animals’ feelings? Honestly, their feelings are not the same as human beings’, and we are difference in some ways, but it does not mean that they do not have.
They are at risk of extinction. That is not their faults. That is a consequence of human behaviours. So, they are victims and deserve to enjoy their freedom. But then, they are sent to prisons, zoos, behind bars like criminals.
Therefore, keeping animals in cages is immoral. Human have no right to use animals for entertainment. Zoos exhibit animals with the aim of making a profit.
Secondly, people said that they keep animals in zoos to protect them. Some zoos may teach children how to preserve and respect the animals. Unfortunately, their saying seems not to be the same as what they are doing. + Several years ago, the Knowsley Safari Park in England admitted to killing “surplus” monkeys. The park said that it cost too much to continue to feed the monkeys, so the animals were shot and left to die.Penny Boyd, who lived and worked at the park said: "If the land can only support so many animals, you've we have no choice but to get rid of the surplus.” She added: "Businesses need profit to remain open.
In additon, many zookeepers let the common animals live in poor conditions, and keep treat well to some special animals, which are the visitors’ favourite. + Another example of mistreatment in zoos is illegal
