Question

what is captive breeding and what are the advantages and disadvantages

Answer 1

Answer:

Captive breeding, also known as "captive propagation", is the process of maintaining plants or animals in controlled environments, such as wildlife reserves, zoos, botanic gardens, and other conservation facilities.

The advantages are :

1) The zoos are able to recreate the natural habitat of the captured animals.

2) The enclosures are able to protect animals from any predators.

3) The zoos means that all the animals are cared for and don’t suffer from illness or malnutrition.

4) Zoos are able to protect endangered species of animals and also have breeding programs to enrich the populations of animal species.

5) Zoos can cross breed animals and also increase the gene pool of an animal species by breeding animals from different zoos in different parts of the world.

6) The captivity of animals means that we are able to see animals that we wouldn’t get the chance to see normally.

7) We are able to learn more about animals that aren’t indigenous to where people live.

8) Zoos are also able to take in animals that would otherwise be killed or remove animals from situations such as animal cruelty.

The disadvantages are:

1) Sometimes animals can be kept in a restrictive environment such as small cages.

2) In some parts of the world animals can be forced to preform for visitors and can be very badly treated.

3) There are arguments against bringing animals out of there natural habitats.

4) When animals are removed out of their natural habitats the environmental conditions could vary in a zoo.

5) The animals aren’t free to do as they like in a zoo like there are in the wild.
