By placing wild animals in zoos we cause them to lose their animal instinct and postpone their extinction?

Question

- compare and contrast habitats

- effects of captivity

- wild boars lose tusks

- reptiles lose salmonella

any other thoughts or counter arguments??

Answer 1

i dont like the fact that we put animals in zoos, expecially when they arnt the richest zoos and the enclosers they live in are **** ***. although it stops the species from dieing out from the mistakes we make by over hunting and habitat distruction. i beleive there isnt one natural endangerment of any species on this planet cuz most of the human population are selfish arogant peices of ****. in order for a natural extinction to take place tha animal shall never be killed by a human

Answer 2

what argument.. you listed several statements/opinions..

you have any evidence to back these claims up?

loss of instinct- if it truely is instinctual, there's no way for US to tell

postpone exstinction- how is that bad if it's only in captivity

compare and contrast- no preds, medical assistance, free food, and attempt is made to replicate natural habitat

effects of captivity- such as?

boars lose tusks- again, bad because? loss of sexual drive or natural selection to grow and depend upon tusks

reptiles 'lose' salmonella- i see a trend of not bad 'if' scenarios...

justin.. handfish, immediately off the top of my head.. food source is dying out from natural causes..

many species are naturally dying off.. yet we still work to save them
