~~What do zoos in the UK mean to us? ~~ In the UK the majority of us love a good day out at the zoo. I know I do, I have reviewed Chester Zoo already, which is one of my favourite places to visit. When I was a child I would get excited about a trip to the zoo and remember being so excited about going, that I could never sleep the night ...  Read the complete review

Keeping animals in zoos is cruel. I've been to several zoos in the past and there is always a tear in my eyes when I leave. it is not because I am overjoyed after looking at various animals. It is not that I love the animals so much that I miss them. Planet of the Apes films always come in my head when I leave. We humans have no idea or ...  Read the complete review

I think that zoos can be good or bad. It matters how good of a habbitate the zoo provides for the animal. If the zoo is really small with alot of animals than that is definately not a good zoo. A good zoo needs to be big and give a good living conditions for every animal in it. Also it should be as close as possible to the animals normal habbitat ...  Read the complete review

Zoos are important to today's world, WHY? Because with out them many animals would die out, leaving them extinct and us left only with pictures. Pandas no longer live in the wild but on nature reserves or in Zoo's, this is because this is the safest place for them. Over the years they have died out because of some nasty people in the ...  Read the complete review

I think zoos are sometimes are a good thing and sometimes a bad thing. They offer many advantages for children and the general public but offer some disadvantages to the species of animal. Firstly zoo's have an educational purpose. They often give the public an insight to the animal's life, an oppurtunity that they would not normally get ...  Read the complete review

I'm a University student, studying Education, and part of our course is to use a resource which will educate children on an area of science. I chose to use my local zoo as a resource. I must admit that there are still zoos which dont seem to have the right environments for the animals to thrive in and there is nothing worse than seeing animals ...  Read the complete review

I know zoos are cruel and I know that it is horrible to go there and see many animals couped up in tiny cages while people are knocking on the glass in an attempt to get the animals to do something interesting. However although there are some bad zoos, there are some really nice ones and i am going to concentrate on the nice facts about ...  Read the complete review

Zoos are both good and bad in my opinion. They are good because they sometimes help to breed animals that are endangered species and keep them around which would have been great if they had been able to keep things like dodo birds but I don't think there were any zoos when they got extinct. Maybe zoos will help to make sure that pandas and ...  Read the complete review

I remember going to the zoo on a school trip when I was in the junoir's, so I must have been around 12 years old. It was Chester zoo we went to and I remember being quite excited about my first visit to the zoo. We went there on the coach and had to take a packed lunch, once in the zoo we were told we could look around in groups ...  Read the complete review

Lets get something straight. Zoos were never intended for the captive breeding of rare animals. They are there for public entertainment. If zoos were there for conservation, why do they bother to keep common animals there? I feel zoos are like animal circuses and fox hunting, cruel 'pastimes' that belong in the past, something for ...  Read the complete review

Summer is fast approaching (honest) and outdoors trips will soon have to be thought up. The ideal place is a Zoo or Safari Park (such as Woburn). There are lots of animals to see from all over the world, most of these places offer ‘displays’, there’s ice-creams, refreshments, souvenir shops……..you name it ...  Read the complete review

I am certainly outraged at the amount of animals that are kept from their natural habitats. I recently visited my local zoo, and I felt so sorry especially for the orang-utans. Looking up at me with those big eyes, I could see that they were filled with rage and SADNESS!! I know, i know that it's a way of making money, but why do it?? ...  Read the complete review

Well my opinion on zoos has changed somewhat over the last 20 years. Back then I remember going to a zoo, and seeing all the animals looking so sad. The cages were small and smelt appalling, and it was obvious that the condition were terrible. It didn't quite push me to become a member of the ALF, but it was years before I was to visit a ...  Read the complete review

Zoos are a great place to take your kids. A place where you can teach them how not to treat animals. Cages of all shapes and sizes stuffed with animals in the wrong cages of all shapes and sizes. I’ll explain some of my own experiences with zoos, basing most of my opinion on a zoo I visited in Hannover, Germany. Most zoos have an ...  Read the complete review

I remember looking forward to visiting the zoo when I was a kid. I can remember mum telling me I was gong to the zoo tomorrow and I couldn’t get to sleep because I used to so look forward to it. You can either call it a pretty sad up bringing, or…on the other hand, you could call it a normal Childs reaction at the thought of going to ...  Read the complete review

What about the animal's rights? - Advantages: Fun tourist attraction, good for conservation, educational - Disadvantages: lack of freedom, animals are often looked after badly, many animals die just to get one to a zoo

I’m just nipping downstairs to lock the cats in the bathroom for the rest of their lives. I might wave at them through the window occasionally. Of course I’ll make sure they have good medical care, are well fed and I might even put a sign up ‘ Nermal’ – a not particularly rare breed of fat black cat who has the ...  Read the complete review

Zoos have been with us for many years, they have a great place in the culture of society and, generally do no harm to the animals. I am a supporter of animal rights as I mentioned in my op about foxhunting. But, to have zoos paraded as some kind of evil hovel where animals are paraded around as freaks is rediculous. I love the work of ...  Read the complete review
