Are Zoo's Humane?

Are zoos humane? Yes or no? Zoos and aquariums take care of their animals to make them feel as though they are right at home. Zoos also are required to maintain their health. They also continue to make sure the animals are well fed, that their environment remains clean and healthy for the animals behind the fences. Most certified zoos are ethical and take pride in their loveable friends we all know and love. Zoos are also good at preventing extinction especially now with a sixth mass extinction going on today. A Lot of people don't believe that zoos are ethical and humane so this puts a lot of stress and guilt on the zoo owners which is not good for business. Zoos also help with breeding their animals and bringing them into the wild, talking to the public about conservation and raising money for conservation programs.



I honestly believe that zoos are humane and ethical. I believe it's more of an opinion type question than a research type question and I feel some people should research just to make sure they want to keep their opinion or not. I love going to the zoo. I went like 5 times over the summer to the one in Omaha and I feel the animals are being treated right and being taken care  of correctly, so I do feel the zoos are ethical.




Do you believe zoos are humane and ethical, why or why not?

 

Do you feel the animals are getting taken care of properly, why or why not?

 

Do you enjoy going to the zoo?

    • i agree with your statement like if the animals are being taken cared of then its not inhumane.

  • I think that animals are being take cared of at the zoo, I enjoy going to the zoo with friends and family, it is a great experience and a good place to have fun at. I think that zoos are a little ethical but not enough to be watching every day.

    • i also belive that the animals are being taken care of really good. but i do not see how zoos are being just a little ethical.
