    In Savages and Beasts: The Birth of the Modern Zoo, Nigel Rothfels provides his insight on the primary purpose of a zoo. According to Rothfels an animal is just a consolation of people’s ideas. But even so, he discusses their historical record. The principal reason for a zoo is its aesthetic contribution to the current time. For example, Rothfels describes his encounter with viewing a beautiful liger, who was later put on display after being stuffed. However, due to the change in what viewer’s find aesthetic, the liger’s exhibit no longer remains. People find the zoo aesthetic when it is thought to be a safe place for the animals, protecting them from their dangerous habitat, rather than the idea being locked behind bars. The author compares…

    To an outsider zoo's can appear to be various environments, harsh or beneficial, for example, but is there more than meets the eye? Many zoos will use conservation as a buzzword because it will catch attention and draw you to believe things as said in Rob Laidlaw’s, “Zoos Myth and Reality.” On the contrary, Michael Hutchins, author of “Zoos Connect us to the Real World, states there is much coverage of the positive nurturing of zoos. Overall, today zoos are more educated and take utmost care of their animals, plus 90% of accredited mammals were born in zoos, and now zoos are really striving to improve the lives of their animals.…

    In 2008 at the Singapore Zoo, three white Bengal tigers attacked and mauled a zoo cleaner, Nordin bin Mondongto, to death after the man walked through a moat surrounding their enclosure. Researchers asked themselves what would be the cause of these vicious behaviors being reported from many zoos across the globe, the answer being the harsh environment zoo animals are surrounded by. Many people are not aware of the harsh treatment the animals endure. Zoos, circuses, and famous attractions like SeaWorld do not offer the best of circumstances for their animals. These uncomfortable conditions may be the cause of the hundreds of violent behaviors being reported by zoos around the world. Of course, most families enjoy taking a trip to the zoo because they offer a unique experience of encountering exotic animals. However, people need to realize that animals are living creatures that should not be forced into show, or held behind glass walls to be gawked at.…
