Zoos Reviews

When we visit a zoo it is normally during a holiday or as a day out during the summer. We pack up a picnic, plan our route and off we go. As we wander around the zoo we will marvel at the variety of animals and laugh at their antics, or be amazed by their abilities. We tend to be very superficial and I must admit that we don’t very ...  Read the complete review

Dream with me baby, I need you to take a deep breath and open your mind and dream with me. Man, Zoos are not cool. taking animals and putting them in cages and keeping them penned up for our amusement. Man that is brutal and it don't change it a bit having some educated bloke running around telling us about what they eat and how ...  Read the complete review

I admit it openly, I'm a vegetarian and its purely for moral reasons. I dont like the way animals are killed and I think humans abuse their power too much when it comes to our rather less intelligent fellow dwellers on this planet. For some reason humans seem to get a kick out of taming a wild and ferocious animal, sometimes even ...  Read the complete review

Are zoos necessary or archaic remnants of a past which saw the amusement of human beings put above that of animal welfare? An interesting question and one which could be answered in the affirmative for both sides. I have no strong views on the subject although animal welfare is important to me, but feel there is a simple arguement from both sides, ...  Read the complete review

This opinion examines the development of the zoo through history, and goes on to consider the roles zoos play in the conservation of animal species, and their importance. History of ...  Read the complete review
