Is it time we did away with zoos?
Permalink   
 

After the tragic incident yesterday, where a man was killed by a tiger after climbing into it's enclosure, there is talk that all zoos, wildlife and safari parks should be closed for good.

There are arguments for and against.

Thankfully the tiger will not be euthanised; in the past wild animals have been killed when humans have invaded their space.

Personally, I have hated zoos since I went to Chester Zoo many years ago, and saw a white polar bear, seemingly gone demented.
The poor thing was shaking it's head from side to side, staring into space, it was incredibly upsetting to see.
The elephants, and all the big wild animals are so confined, and though I am sure they are looked after as much as is possible, I think it's cruel to cage them and fence them in.

Safari parks are different. Animals are more in their natural habitat, and species are preserved where otherwise they would become extinct, thanks to mankind.

I hate Zoos. Animals should be in their own habitat running free.

The man was obviously a nutter. I'm just glad the tiger wasn't shot. Wasn't the tigers fault, the man jumped into the pit, the tiger never jumped out.

Safari parks are ok, but many animals, elephants, etc travel miles in the jungle. Safari parks are not big enough.

All animals should be free.
