'It is for the wild animal's good that we hold it captive in a zoo.'Tell 3 reasons to tell why we agree?

Question

In this question we have to tell 3 reasons why we agree with this statement

Answer 1

i dont think putting them in zoo is good for them
its really hurt to see animal captive in a zoo captive from freedom animal used to get it in its imvironment
we must captive them only if its necessary to them if they have problems or factors will end thier existence in the earth
like bear panda that we myst put them in zoo to be able to increase thier numbers

Answer 2

-Most animals in zoos are either captive bred or were taken in after being injured, so most would not be fit to survive in the wild in the first place.

-Due to habitat destruction, natural predators, disease, scarce resources etc... Theoretically a well kept captive animal in a well designed habitat will live a longer, healthier life in captivity.

-Last, and perhaps the most important, Zoos have very well developed captive breeding programs. They not only breed to increase numbers, but develop breeding strategies between zoos to keep the gene pool as stable and diverse as possible. Some animals are so close to extinction that these captive populations may be their only hope.
Also, on another note... Zoos give the public a chance to see wild animals close up, and feel a connection that they would never have felt otherwise. This connection makes people more concerned for the preservation and protection of those species and their habitat. Zoos are an important educational/conservation tool.

Answer 3

In the past zoos were simply places for holding
animals, either to show off the owner's wealth by
showing he could afford to keep them, or to show
the animals for public entertainment. The animals
kept in such zoos were often not properly taken
care of, because of ignorance of their needs or
carelessness. Modern zoos (probably not all of
them) usually know better what the animal's needs
are and can provide them. They are also used to
breed animals that are in danger of extinction, so
that they can be restored to the wild. Some of
these restoration projects have been successful,
others have not yet because of the problems of
training captive raised animals so that they know
how to make a living in the wild.

Some people have objected to zoos because they
feel "all animals should have their freedom." This
is simply a bit of sentimentalism. Animals have no
sense of or need for freedom. What they have is
a sense of home range - the amount of space they
need to find food and avoid competition for living
space. If these are provided they are quite happy,
(as near as we can judge such things) and do well
in captivity. In fact, if they are released they will
often come back to their zoo cages. They know
a good thing when they find it. When they breed
in captivity it is a good sign that they are being well
cared for.

Answer 4

Are you more likely to kill something familiar to you? Most likely the answer is no. True wild animals need to be in the wild but a few that aren't bring the true sense of what we will lose if we don't protect them and their enviorment. Just like killing people it's easier to kill them if they have no face.

This is the most compelling reason for zoo's so that all people understand the reality of what can go wrong if we let things get out of hand.

Zoo's are also a place to help restore animals that have a low chance of survival in their natural setting. Not to say that it's not natural for them to perish in the wild but in some situations the survival of the species maybe at risk.

Finally zoo's keep people a safe distance from the animals, unlike observing them in the wild where if encountered, people could get hurt or killed. If so, the animal usually pays the ultimate price for doing what is instinctive for them.

Answer 5

1. Animals in the wild are subject to the whims of nature. Famine, disease, premature death. A life in captivity lessens the sufferings of the animals.

2. In captivity, man can study animal behavior, which can lead to discoveries about human development and behavior.

3. Animals on the brink of extinction can best be saved by captive breeding.

Answer 6

I can see many reasons why it would seem cruel to hold them captive...
But I love animals and I can see that a well-run zoo is good for them... my 3 reasons are:
1 - they each get regular medical care and monitoring
2 - regular nutritionally balanced meals and fresh clean water
3 - protection from natural predators, illegal hunting or traps, and other man-made hazards

Hope this helps you!
