    Extractions: HSUS Wildlife Issues Facing Wildlife Zoos Zoos engender strong feelings from both advocates and opponents. Because of the complexity of the issues surrounding them, it is problematic to characterize zoos and similar exhibitions of wild animals as a homogenous entity. One basic standard, however, can and must be applied to these institutions: If they are unable to provide animals with appropriate and humane care, they should not have those animals in their facilities. The Humane Society of the United States strongly believes that under most circumstances wild animals should be permitted to exist undisturbed in their natural environments. However, we recognize the widespread existence of zoos and acknowledge that some serve a demonstrable purpose in the long-term benefit of animals, such as the preservation and restoration of endangered species, and the education of people to the needs of wild animals and their role in ecosystems. Yet it is critical for the public to understand that the antiquated zoo of yesteryear did not disappear with the advent of state-of-the-art exhibits that now dominate publicity about modern zoos. The dark side of the story is that thousands of wild animals, many endangered, continue to languish in roadside zoos and menageries. Often the care for these creatures barely meets the minimal federal requirements for exhibiting animals. Unfortunately, only about 10% of the more than 2,000 animal exhibitors licensed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) are accredited by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA).

    Extractions: Giraffes at a Zoo Almost all of us grow up with fond memories of visiting the zoo with our parents, grandparents or friends. Where else do you get to see those amazing, large elephants? Or these cute monkeys climbing and playing? Or those giraffes with their long, long, long necks? Unless you are able to afford a trip to Kenya, the zoo is the only place where you can see these amazing animals up close. Zoos: What is so Bad About Them? I just mentioned what is so great about zoos, but I wouldn't have listed my Zoo pages under "Animal Cruelty", if I didn't think that zoos were bad for the animals that live in them. Enclosures The major problem with zoos is that the animals who live there are kept in enclosures that don't allow them to live their lives in a natural way. No matter how big some zoos try to make the enclosures, no matter how many branches they put in them, no matter how beautiful they make the background paintings on the wall, they don't compare with the natural habitat the animals were meant to be in. Zoo animals have to spend day after day, week after week, year after year in the exact same enclosure. This makes their lives very monotonous.

    Extractions: - Posts about - RSS by Stephanie Feldstein October 28, 2010 @ 11:45AM PT Topics: Zoos Zoos justify their existence by saying that captive animals help educate the public and support conservation. Their questionable educational value has been under fire for quite some time, especially as high-profile animals start exhibiting  high-profile behavior problems . And with the latest news of endangered animals being bred only to be culled, zoos are rapidly losing the argument that they're helping threatened species, too. The most recent victims of zoo culling are a pair of five-month-old rare red river hogs, Sammi and Becca, who were put down by the Edinburgh Zoo. When the piglets were born, the zoo boasted, "We hope that this is the first of many contributions our Red River Hogs make to the breeding programme." Apparently the breeding program wasn't quite as excited because the piglets were soon deemed "surplus." The zoo was advised by the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums European Endangered Species Programme to  cull the piglets rather than find them a new home.

    Extractions: Home World News Latest Articles Escape Hatch ... Endless Buzz Today zoos don't just cater to people, but also indulge in research and conservation of wild animals. However, many animal rights activists are not happy with animals being forced to live in unnatural conditions. Thus, it becomes important to know, both the pros and cons of zoos. Zoos The word zoo, is an abbreviated form of 'zoological garden' and was coined in the nineteenth century. These are collections of various animal species found in nature. The different reasons behind keeping animals in captivity may be education, research, recreation and conservation. The 'zoo' culture can be traced back to the civilization of China Egypt and Mesopotamia. Some of the common types of zoos we know are the urban cage-zoos, safaris and sanctuaries. For a long time, zoos claimed to have conserved endangered animal species; however with number of organizations becoming vocal on the issue of animal rights, people are becoming aware of the truth behind the working of zoos.
