The creation of the Singapore Zoo has been influenced by the Singapore’s history. The Singapore Zoo known as the “Singapore Zoological Garden “was created in 1973, however it has some predecessor, such as “Ponggol Zoo” which was located 317 Serangoon Road and was opened by Lawrence Soma Basapa alias “Animal Man”. Indeed, according to the popularity and the rising attendance of the attraction, the Indian trader saw an opportunity to increases the entrance’s fees and enlarge his animal collection as well, however he received few complaints from the Singapore Rural Board about the noise and overcrowding in animals. Unfortunately, even if the popularity of the zoo was at its apogee, it has been destroyed by the British’s army …show more content…
Indeed, since the number of visitors hit one million in 1974, this number hasn’t stopped to rise which may affects the well-being of the animals and cleanness of the location. A study conducted in “Edinburg zoo “has demonstrated that the animal’s behaviors are affected by the human’s presence, this experimentation was focusing on the monkeys, so those impacts can apply in Singapore Zoo according to the “Orang Outang Breakfast “but even with the other type of animals as well. The study has revealed that the attitude of the animals varied according to the percentage of attendance in the attraction, they noticed that during the peak season in summer each breed of animals was more aggressive and will be more tendency to have an inappropriate behavior compared to the winter when the attendance is decreasing, which can lead to a peak of stress and affects the welfare of the animals. The second affect from overcrowding may affect the healthy environment of the attraction’s location and even the animal’s security. Indeed, litter has been found in the animal’s paddock which can be dangerous if an animal ingested, it could lead to serious damages to the animal body and even a loss of endangered breed of animals. When the littering is taking place is not affecting only the animals but also the “Upper Seletar Reservoir” is affected negatively which may leads to a loss of authenticity of the location. The most negative affect of overcrowding is the lack of privacy of the animals because some of them are displaying during the day and the night as well to meet the standards of the Night Safari which affect directly the welfare of the animals and even directly the conservation of certain endangered breeds. Same as humans, animals need privacy in order to reproduce, this impact may lead to a decrease of

SeaWorld is a billion dollar company based in the U.S. They specialise in the taking care of animals, such as killer whales, dolphins and sea lions. They have over 67,000 animals in their care and are rescuing more and more every day. Despite common belief, SeaWorld does not abuse the animals themselves. The workers of SeaWorld try their best every single day to look after every species of animal, and in return, are now being hassled and abused for it.
This leads to my following reason, with the help from zoos, people are associating themselves to find possible solutions for this problem. An article made by Sarah Cunningham claims that ‘“Research shows that during these visits, people forge emotional connections to wildlife and learn to see themselves as part of conservation solutions”’ (Doc. B). Zoos are known as a resource to educate people to learn more about wildlife conservation. One of their objectives as an attraction is to inform people of what has been happening.
The author examines the reasons of wilding and the different forms of wilding. It was also noted in the chapter that
There should not be zoos. Thousand of animals every year struggle with the same problem, being locked up. Although this may seem like a questionable argument, this is a major problem in this world and it needs to be fixed now. In this essay there should not be zoos because they make animals unhealthy, they treat animals badly, and animals are better off in the wild.
Zoos and can be places where the imagination and creativity of people, especially children, can come alive and inspire them to tread avenues that they never expected they would take. In the early years of my childhood, I spent many hours observing and studying wild animal exhibits in zoos in Seattle Washington. I would imagine myself in my dream world as zoo keeper or a veterinarian helping animals and knowing them each by name. As I studied and let my imagination run free; I knew that someday, somehow, I would be involved in the care of animals. Without the establishment of zoos and, I would have never realized my dreams and perused a career in biology and animal care.
Are zoos good or bad? Most people think that they are good… but they just do not know about the other side of zoos. Female african elephants live 17 years in zoos but when they are in the wild they live 56 years. Zoos are unethical and should let all there animals out because they are bad for humans, hurt and separate animals, and Unhealthy for animals.
Guards patrol art galleries and museums to secure our cultural heritage. We should be taking the same approach to safeguarding our natural heritage and protecting wildlife/nature. There is a benefit of a close tie between law enforcement and the survival of diverse species. For example, in Asia, the government’s training and deployment of park guards in Thailand’s most important reserve, the Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary, has led to seven years of population stability in tigers and other wildlife, in contrast to dramatic declines in nearby unprotected parks.
Oh no you have just been shot by a tranquilizer dart and you 're put in a truck and you never see your friends and family ever again. Well that 's what happens when animals go to zoos. Zoos are harmful to animals. To begin with, Animals aren 't getting the right diet when they live in zoos. Also, animals are not getting the right amount of space.
To sum up, both articles provide evidence that zoos are improving over the years to serve their purpose more effectively. Constant development helps them to save more animals and at the same time show the results to the public which is crucial for inspiring people's participation in conservation programs. So, the two articles on the necessity of zoos are mostly similar as they express the same ideas. Both Cohn and Borrell provide arguments for the significance of zoos which contribute to animal conservation by conducting research, protecting endangered species, encouraging people to participate in conservation programs and forming their connection with the natural
If zoos were really concerned, they would try to conserve animals in their natural habitat, “the only way to realistically stop extinction is to preserve the world’s habitat and ecosystems,” (Zoos n.p). While zoos may help a bit, there are better ways to help and learn from
Animals such as the Tiger, Pandas and African Chimpanzees are kept inside zoos in order to preserve their species and prevent them from going extinct. They are well protected from their predators which allows them to breed and, hopefully, repopulate their species in order to keep their species alive. One of the examples is that zoos implemented International Breeding Programs in order to help these endangered species breed. As the numbers of that
Zoos play a role in educating people about animals and play an important part in animal conservation. While much information on animals is available through printed materials and the Internet, it's way much better being near them seeing what they actually are. Many people lack the means to travel to the native habitats of most animals, however, zoos bring animals from many different climates and locations together in one place. For many people as well, the experience of being close to these animals has more impact than simply reading about them. This experience often gives them sympathy for animals that they may
