Zoos and Exotic Pets: Humanity or an Abomination

They believe they are saving them from being killed by humans. They said they would die in the wild if they did not accept these animals. They told them that they gave them a brand new start, an easy place to live. For example, in this article it states that the zoo is trying to help reimplant animals. ... (The lemur of the zoo is saved. "(Kaufmann, 6) Another claim on this point is that they keep these animals for entertainment.

Most breeding breeding programs do not release animals wild. Descendants are always part of the trading chain of zoos, circuses, petting zoos, and exotic pets that always buy, sell, exchange, and use animals. An Asian elephant was born at an authorized zoo, but later confiscated by an abusive circus trainer and sent to shelter at last. The Federal Welfare Law stipulates minimum standards for car size, shelter, health, ventilation, fence, food and water. For example, the fence "must allow enough space for each animal to carry out normal posture and social adjustments and to have sufficient freedom of movement, malnutrition, poor condition, weakness, stress Or evidence of abnormal behavior patterns "Violations usually result in a slap in the wrist and exhibitors have a deadline to correct the violation."

If you notice that an individual no longer needs to take care of an exotic pet, he / she usually relies on other facilities such as zoos and shelters to relieve your own responsibility. However, it is impossible for all zoos and certification bodies to respond to the number of annoying alien animals. As a result, most of these animals are euthanized, abandoned, or destined to live in harsh conditions. It is very easy to keep exotic pets. More than 1,000 internet sites sell, advise on nursing care, and chat rooms where buyers and sellers can negotiate. The Animal Explorer Guide is designed to promote the trading of exotic pets, such as advertisements from dealers, private parties, breeders, ranchers, zoos, for selling large cats, monkeys and other exotic animals .
