Bradley George (FGCU):Why Zoos are Bad?
Zoos are fun filled places that little children can watch cool animals that they might not see in their entire lifetimes up close and personal. To experience these animals can become very inspiring to little children and can spark ideas for their job later in life or make them have respect for the animals and try to keep them safe from extinction. Zoos are there for entertainment for the people that come to see the animals, but at what cost do the animals have for our entertainment.
The animals in the zoos are in concentrated areas in the park and are not allowed to roam much and most animals need much room to walk around such as the elephant, giraffe, or tigers. The zoo workers try their best to make them as comfortable as possible, but they are captive in these cages and cannot do much. People think that the zoos are getting their animals from abused parents or animals that need help, but they are really just breeding these animals at the zoos from other animals, so they do not inbreed. All of these animals are not ever going to be able to get out and will never to be free in their actual environment.
The zoos take care of these animals, but not as well as people think. In order to help some of the animals to other cages or give them checkups they need to use chemicals to tranquilize them in our to perform some of these things. Animals in their natural environment do not receive chemicals and can be harmful to the animals. No one ever thinks of the emotions that the animals have and can do nothing about it. Some of the animals just want to be free and life their lives and not be some trophies to show off in order for the zoo to get money.
Overall zoos are not good for the animals at all. If an animal is saved they should go to a specialized facility to get proper care and eventually go back into the wild. Zoos are some ways good for the education of the children, but you can also get better information from TV then going to a zoo. There are way more cons from zoos than pros and if they continue to do this all of these animals will be treated cruelly and never be able to live their lives.
