    My initial thoughts about going having to go to the zoo for this project was that it was going to be challenging yet fun, Challenging in the sense that with my post traumatic stress disorder from the military because I have trouble being around crowds of people which is why I supposed that is why I chose to go to the Santa Ana zoo since I knew that there would be less people there, Fun in the sense that I have not been to a zoo since I was a little kid which made me excited to not only see the primate exhibit for this project but to also check out some of the other animals that were at the zoo.…

    On Wednesday September 16th of 2015, I will be going to the Smithsonian National Zoo with a group of my friends. The Zoo was founded in 1889. It is one of the oldest zoos in the world. There are 1800 animals that live in the zoo. One of the most famous spots in the zoo for tourists to see is the Giant Panda exhibit. The giant pandas recently just gave birth to baby pandas. I have only been to the Smithsonian National Zoo once. I went in eighth grade for a school wide field trip. I love seeing animals and going to the zoo.

    Did you know there’s more than one word with ‘zoo’ in it? Zoo is typically thought of to be an exhibit of animals for public viewing, but it’s also a prefix in words like, ‘zoophobia’ and, ‘zoonomy’. There’s many others, but the focus here is ‘zoology’. Zoologists are known to study how animals behave and in what way they interact with different species and living spaces. Some may wonder why we have zoologists; there’re here for good reason. Zoologists help us discover things not only about animal’s pasts and evolutions, but about our own! Zoologists also are very earth friendly which is good for many reasons which you can read more about below.…

    Visiting the zoo is a fun family activity that 175 million people do each year (“Zoo Statistics”). However, the animals in the zoo are treated horribly. As a kid, visiting the zoo was one of my favorite activities. I loved watching the animals and spending time with my family, but as I grew older, my joy of the zoo diminished when I realized what was happening to the animals. The mighty tiger that was once strutting across the grass is now a dreary, unhealthy animal that walks aimlessly just to pass the time. Many animals die an unnatural death because of the treatment they receive in zoos and the lack of space reserved for them. Zoos promise to bring in animals that are either endangered or unhealthy; however, a remarkable number of animals…

    In reality, viewing animals in captivity has little to no educational value for bystanders. Many zoos and aquariums will often alter the condition of their animals to make it easier to handle them. For example, they may clip a bird’s wings to prevent flight, place aquatic animals in poor water, or place normally social animals in complete isolation. On top of this, severe anxiety causes animals to demonstrate unnatural behaviors. Since they no longer act in a way that is true to their natural species, bystander’s can’t learn about the actual animal. Based on the fact that most zoo goers barely do more than glimpse at an exhibit the public can’t gain any new knowledge or appreciation for the animals. Sometimes a plaque is left giving information about the animal, but it only gives basic information such as diet and species. It has been proven through research and observation that the public doesn’t want to learn about the animals and simply uses them for their own entertainment rather than education. This is crucial because it shows that although zoos claim their main purpose is education, this is far from the truth. In reality, zoos provide little information for the public, and the public simply wants to use zoos and aquariums for leisure. A study was conducted where a curator from the National Zoo followed more than 700 zoo visitors over the course of five summers. He stated that, “it didn’t matter what was on display… people were treating the exhibits like wallpaper.” (Zoos…

    A zoo (short for zoological park or zoological garden, and is also similar to a menagerie) is an establishment that maintains a collection of wild animals, typically in a park or gardens, for study, conservation, or display to the public. The predecessor of the zoological garden is the menagerie, which has a long history from the ancient world to modern times. In ancient times having a collection of animals meant you were wealthy and very powerful because it showed you ruled vast amounts of territory. Soon after this desire to acquire animals to show your wealth and power menageries began spawning in Asia, Africa, and Europe.…

    Are Zoos Harmful?

    Zoos are for educational and viewing pleasure. For example, when I went to the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk, VA, I discovered an animal that I had never known about before. The Malayan Tapir is a very unusual, but exciting animal. It looks like a giant anteater and has an elephant -like nose. In the wild, tapirs can be found in the dense rainforests of Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia and Indonesia. Upon reading about and gazing at it, it opened my mind to the other many animals that there could possibly be. I thought I had been educated about the world and it’s animals, but to discover another animal brought back the excitement for learning. My daughter as well was excited to be there, but the education she was receiving was more advanced than mine growing up. Many elementary schools go on field trip to learn about animals. For some kids, they develop through interaction with the animals, a love for animals that eventually leads them to the occupational of animals. Veterinarians, Zoo keepers, animals trainers are all well rewarding jobs. Animal trainer Alex Lacey developed a bond with mixtures of cats-lions, tigers and leopards with just being around them. His father, a circus director, breed, trained…
