Question

DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN..........
ZOO AND WILDLIFE SANTUARY

Answer 1

The main difference between zoos and sanctuaries is how they acquire their animals. A zoo might buy, sell, breed, or trade animals, or even capture animals from the wild. ... A sanctuary also does not capture animals from the wild but acquires only animals who can no longer survive in the wild

Answer 2

Explanation:

Animal rights advocates oppose keeping animals in zoos, but support sanctuaries. They oppose keeping animals in zoos because imprisoning the animals for our entertainment violates their right to live free of human exploitation. Even if the animals are of an endangered species, keeping them in a zoo for the sake of the species violates their rights because the good of the species cannot be put above the rights of the individual. On the other hand, sanctuaries rescue animals who cannot live in the wild and can survive only in captivity.

The main difference between zoos and sanctuaries is how they acquire their animals. A zoo might buy, sell, breed, or trade animals, or even capture animals from the wild. The rights of the individual are not considered. Animals are often overbred because zookeepers like having a constant supply of baby animals to attract the public. Zoo patrons expect to see lively, active animals, not old, tired animals. But the overbreeding leads to overcrowding. Excess animals are sold to other zoos, circuses, or even canned hunting. The animals are acquired to satisfy the interests of the zoo.
