Read the following two poems one about a tiger and the other about a panther. Then
discuss:
Are zoos necessary for the protection or conservation of some species of animals?
Are they useful for educating the public?
Are there alternatives to zoos?
The Tiger
The tiger behind the bars of his cage growls,
The tiger behind the bars of his cage snarls,
The tiger behind the bars of his cage roars,
Then he thinks.
It would be nice not to be behind bars all
The time
Because they spoil my view
I wish I were wild, not on show.
But if I were wild, hunters might shoot me,
But if I were wild, food might poison me,
But if I were wild, water might drown me.
Then he stops thinking
And…
The tiger behind the bars of his cage growls,
The tiger behind the bars of his cage snarls,
The tiger behind the bars of his cage roars.
– Peter Niblett
The Panther
His vision, from the constantly passing bars,
has grown so weary that it cannot hold
anything else. It seems to him there are
a thousand bars; and behind the bars, no world.
As he paces in cramped circles, over and over,
the movement of his p0werful soft strides
is like a ritual dance around a centre
in which a mighty will stands paralysed.
Only at times, the curtain of the pupils
lifts, quietly. An image enters in,
rushes down through the tensed, arrested muscles,
plunges into the heart and is gone.
– Rainer Maria Rilke

Answer:
1. I think zoos are important for the protection and conservation of some species. If those endangered animals were in the wild they would have already been hunted down or poached by the hunters.
2. Yes, I think they can be useful for educating the public about the animals.
3. Yes, there are alternatives to zoos. Wildlife sanctuaries and reservoirs are there. The difference between wildlife sanctuaries and zoos is that in zoos, the animals are kept in cages which might make them feel trapped and frustrated whereas, in wildlife sanctuaries, the animals can walk freely anywhere and the environment/ background of the wildlife sanctuaries are just like a real jungle. So it gives them a sense of ease as they feel as if they are in their natural habitat.
