Zoos: The Bronx Zoo

To begin with, zoos are the safest place for the poor creatures as they are taken care well and their holistic needs are met at the time of necessity. For example, animals can be treated well in case of medical needs and they will enjoy not only freedom of life but also quality of life by experiencing all the facilities. In this way , zoos

Zoos have been around for 4,000 years, for many years people have gone to zoos to see wild animals up close. What people do not know is animals don't have the best interest in being in a zoo. The article, "Zoos: The Historical Debate" from Globalanimal.org discusses some pros (positive sides) and cons (negative sides) of zoos. As well as how millions of people visit zoos around the world and how some argue that zoos are either places of education and conversation or unnecessary prisons. After reading the article a logical conclusion is zoos are detrimental to animals.

The concepts of zoos have been around for centuries throughout the world. The earliest known zoo of the pre-modern past was that of Queen Hatshepsut of the Eighteenth dynasty in Egypt in 1400 BC (Graetz). According to the Encyclopedia of world zoos,

Moreover, zoos help to repopulate endangered animal species such as the California condor, a vulture. As it says in the article “Zoos: The Historical Debate” after ten years of working

Founded in 1875 in Buffalo, New York, the Buffalo Zoo quickly became a popular tourist attraction. However, as time went on, the outdated buildings and unenthusiastic employees led to a decline in zoo visitors. The zoo began to face several challenges, and the most significant was the fear of losing its accreditation. The president at the time devised a plan to move the Buffalo Zoo to Delaware Park, but that was quickly blocked by employees of the zoo and members of the community. With no support and no where to turn, the president decided to resign. This left the zoo with no plan, and no one to guide them. After extensive searching, the zoo made the decision to hire 43-year-old Donna Fernandes. Donna had an extensive background in education and experience in management and caring for animals. Although Donna seemed like the perfect candidate for the position, she was warned that the employees and community would be reluctant to accept her due to previous negative experiences with poor management and failed attempts to save the zoo. This did not deter Donna, and she worked hard to change those negative experiences into positive ones.

There have been a lot of problems with animals in zoos. It has gotten to the point where zoos are hated and looked upon as a places of animal torture. Are zoos really that bad? Turns out, they are. They do not have enough space, they do not allow the animals to communicate with each other, and they sell the animals to cruel circuses.

When one thinks of the Bronx, we think of Yankee Stadium, the Bronx Zoo, and the Botanical Gardens. But ultimately, many neglect the Bronx as the poorest county, with the highest dropout rates, and unemployment rates in the State of New York. I spent the last five years trying to fix some of these issues, working especially with children from the ages of nine to seventeen with a nonprofit organization called CBALL. We aim to empower young leaders and prevent children from falling victim to the criminal culture that plague the Bronx. A direct correlation exists between the well-being of the residents in the Bronx and the crime rates. For example, seven out of the twenty New York City neighborhoods with high violent crime rates come from the Bronx. As a future attorney, I would like to attack this problem legally. Therefore, I actively swapped my ride along with Ben Cruz to intern with the Bronx Defenders. Do to their stellar reputation; I was eager to see the Bronx Defender 's approach towards helping the borough. Also, my experience of that day impressed me and inspired me to one day potentially work for the Bronx Defenders.

The first modern zoo to be founded was in Vienna, Madrid and Paris in the eighteenth century and later on in London and Berlin in the nineteenth century. The first zoo to be established in America was in Philadelphia and Cincinnati in the 1870s. In today’s America there are thousands of zoos. Humans like to be entertained regardless of how they are being entertained, whether that is walking through the park, watching a show, listening to music or simply going to the zoo. There are truth behind zoos that many don’t see, for example, many zoos don’t show the death rates that many zoo animals have after being transported from their natural habitants or the experiences that the zoo keepers provide to the animals being kept in captivity. To what extent are we okay with animals being tortured or being aware that animals are being killed just so humans can be entertained? While there are benefits to keeping animals in captivity, scholars agree that there are more negative effects that are damaging to the animals. The purpose of zoos can be more than just keeping animals in captivity and creating significant health or mental problems, zoos also can have a positive outcome, zoos can help keep endangered animals safe from others who are trying to kill them for what they are worth. Jamieson explains and gives one example of when people started putting animals in captivity. The Romans is the example that Jamieson uses, the Romans “kept animals in order to have living fodder for games.” Jamieson continued to explain how over the years the use of animals historically grew in popularity and how the idea continued to “thrive until at least the eight century.” Jamieson also mentioned that keeping a large amount of animals showed who had power.

Elephants, tigers, and lions are all wild creatures. They are not meant to be constricted to small spaces. However, this is the life they are subjected to in the circus. They are not given open enclosures, as they are in zoos, but large cages. They could not possibly receive the exercise required for them to live a healthy lifestyle. Another drawback is that they are forced to act for our entertainment and are treated as though they do not have their own feelings. Source E states, “ Elephants are highly intelligent, social creatures that demonstrate powerful family bonds and nurturing skills.” Elephants are some of the more intelligent animals to walk the Earth. It is quite well known that Elephants almost never forget a face and will react accordingly when they recognize an old one. Ritchie states that when Jenny and Shirley, two elephants, met they seemed to have a reunion of sorts. It also has been shown that Elephants mourn the death of herd members. These creatures have shown time and time again that they contain a similar emotional capacity to humans. Why should such intelligent and compassionate creatures be forced to live a entertaining

Most zoos now of days let just a few animals have six to seven acres of their own pain. If the animals really hated it there they would try to break out or leave because all there is between you and them is a little bit of fence or cage People should have zoos in this country because most of them need to learn more about the wildlife in this world that people are living in. First thing is that families and friends love zoos.

The new CEO of Buffalo zoo improved the attitude of employees by building relationships, raising expectations and becoming a positive mentor for employees. Dr. Fernades understood every employee’s position. Therefore, she was willing to discuss the aspects of an employee’s position, and meet with them one on one. Also, employees noticed that a CEO was willing to listen to them, and took the time to understand their position, and discuss it with them. As a result, everyone felt they are vital to the operation of the zoo. She would not just present the conversation as an obligation, but with as a passion. Thus, that passion would carry over and motivating employees. Meanwhile, she was able to create a positive, creative environment with subordinates,

About 10,000-12,000 zoos are seen all around the world and an average of 600 million people visit every year (Rea, 2012). According to Dr. Joseph Pedron, a resident veterinarian of Manila Zoo, the first zoos were made in order for the affluent and aristocrats to exhibit their authority, wealth, power, and pets (personal communication, March 16, 2016). As time went by, people became more engrossed by all these creatures and they gradually wanted to understand and know the animals in a deeper level. Due to this, current zoos are used not only for recreation, education, and conservation but are also considered a sanctuary and a rescue center (J. Pedron, personal communication, March 16, 2016). Ever since, primates – any placental mammal

Since approximately 1250 B.C., ancient Egyptians had created and practiced the capture and display of animals in what are now known as zoos (Fravel). Records describe such exotic animals as birds, lions, giraffes, and tigers in captivity (Fravel). Since then, zoos have continued to entertain millions with the exciting chance to view exotic animals up close and personal. Even in ancient Greece, exotic animals were on display in fighting arenas, and in enclosed viewing areas. Originally in America, zoos were just created so that royalty and the wealthy could flaunt their exotic animals to the public (Leolupus). Today, with species threatened and habitats disappearing worldwide, zoos are serving a new purpose other than the mere exhibition of
