2/15: Zoo Blog

Are zoos good or bad for animals? Account for influences on biodiversity, research, loss of habitat, and the current state of their ecosystem.

I think that zoos are bad for an animal on an individual basis. What tiger would want to spend its life pacing back and forth in front of a glass window? However, zoos positively influence animals, in that they provide further research and awareness of our ecosystem. Through the sacrifice of a few tigers, the entire tiger population is probably better protected out in the wild. Because of this, personally, I am ambivalent about zoos. But in the big picture, the audience of zoos is usually children, so by increasing awareness of wildlife to the younger population, zoos benefit our world in the long run, since more people become aware of and passionate about our ecosystem.
