Zoos shouldn't exist! What do you think about zoos? Children standing in front of big cages, feel excited to see those adorable animals and share the joy with their parents. Parents will then read the information on the signs aloud to educate the children. At lunchtime, the tethered animals wait for the delicious dishes provided by the zookeepers and live happily ever after. It seems that zoos are truly a paradise for us and for animals. It offers us a place to stay close to nature, saving those pitiful little things in nature. Unfortunately, this is not the truth we wanted. In fact, zoos amplify their contribution to the educational circle, exaggerating the importance of role-play in conservation work, in order to cover up those shameful secrets that lie behind. Some people may argue that zoos protect animals and species in this polluted world, however, do animals in zoos really need our “help”? Yes, but definitely not that many. According to the Captive Animals Protection Society (CAPS), 79% of animals in UK zoos and over 70% of elephants in European zoos are captured from the wild. It seems that zoos need them rather than zoos. Zoos introduces captive breeding projects to care for some animals for years and reintroduce them into the wild. However, animals in captivity usually lose their survival skills in the wild after being under absolute protection for a long time, especially those who are used to learning from their parents. They are no longer able to escape predators or track prey. Reintroduction often has to be abandoned permanently. “Let's give animals the chance to live longer.” What's the difference in telling you that you can enjoy a longer life if you choose to live in prison? Animals behave like humans. They feel extremely stressful having poor quality... half of the paper... pandas pose for photos. Pandas are hungry, so they will be more obedient when photographed. Jill Robinson of Animals Asia: ''They are clearly victims of training with negative reinforcement, constant beatings and lack of food until they can do the right trick. To ensure that bears pose no threat to their handlers, their teeth and claws are filed down. Animals are deprived of their fundamental right to live healthily. “It is estimated that it is 50 times more expensive to keep an elephant in a zoo than to protect enough natural habitat to support that elephant and many other animals.” (CAPS, Sad Eyes and Empty Lives - The Reality of Zoos) In fact, only if the billions of dollars spent to build a zoo are optimized to preserve habitats and animal welfare, will our grandchildren still have the chance to see animals one's eyes are rarer.
