The claim that animals have rights has been subjected as a matter of debate since the 1970s. Are zoos helping or hurting our animals? Should zoos be banned?
Answers
Answer: There are a myriad of arguments in favour of my opinion. The most conspicuous one is that zoos usually have limited space for animals, which are rather accustomed to an open environment under the sky. Not only does this congested space that they are forced to live in hamper their normal movement, but it also keeps them away from interacting with other animals in their natural habitat in the forest. Needless to say, no matter how many facilities animals enjoy in captivity, this unnatural life in the cage cannot contribute to their effective nourishment whatsoever. (Needless to say, all these demerits have a far-reaching impact on animals’ nourishment.)Another pivotal aspect of this argument is that being superior to and more powerful than other animals, humans have no right to keep them captive, thus deteriorating the ecological balance enormously. Unlike those animals that live in the jungle without any restriction and so enjoy a spontaneous life over there, animals in captivity are sadly deprived of their basic rights, freedom being a pivotal one. Hence, it is apparent why many are against keeping animals in the zoo.
The zoo is defined as the place where animals are kept in prison for public viewing. People pay for purchase of ticket and watch those animal in captive.
There are a lot of zoo which properly take care of the animals like feeding them properly on time, giving them vaccination and protection from environment, proper cleaning of their cages, etc. but on the other hand there are some zoo which do not take care of the animals.
They do not utilize the fund which is provided for the rearing and caring of animals for their use. All zoos should not be banned. Rather than this a proper supervision of all the zoos should be taken.
