A zoo is a place where captive animals are put on display for humans to see. While early zoos (shorted from zoological parks) concentrated on displaying as many unusual creatures as possible —often in small, cramped conditions—the focus of most modern zoos is conservation and education. While zoo advocates and conservationists argue that zoos save endangered species and educate the public, many animal rights activists believe the cost of confining animals outweighs the benefits, and that the violation of the rights of individual animals —even in efforts to fend off extinction —cannot be justified. JOHNNY | IELTS 8.0 pg. 9 A Brief History of Zoos Humans have kept wild animals for thousands of years. The first efforts to keep wild and exotic animals for non-utilitarian uses began about 2500 BCE, when rulers in Mesopotamia, Egypt, and China kept collections in enclosed pens. Modern zoos began to evolve during the 18th century and the Age of Enlightenment, when scientific interest in zoology, as well as the study of animal behavior and anatomy, came to the fore. Arguments for Zoos: 1. By bringing people and animals together, zoos educate the public and foster an appreciation of the other species. 2. Zoos save endangered species by bringing them into a safe environment, where they are protected from poachers, habitat loss, starvation, and predators. 3. Many zoos have breeding programs for endangered species. In the wild, these individuals might have trouble finding mates and breeding, and species could become extinct. 4. Reputable zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums are held to high standards for the treatment of their resident animals. According to the AZA, accreditation means, "official recognition and approval of a zoo or aquarium by a group of experts." Download 196.71 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
