There was no hope… Animals were continuing to go extinct faster than statistics could keep up with. This occurs from many different multiplex topics such as climate change, habitat destruction and mass hunting. Then came zoos. Raising the numbers again and replenishing species. They seemed perfect, keeping animals in safe, warm homes, protecting them from the dangers beyond the walls of the zoos, but there were some things that the visitors of these zoos were kept a blind eye towards. Looking through the ethical lens at this topic, research showed us that we are able to see the not necessarily wanted and most healthy circumstances that these animals were living in. This lens is the most important one to look at because it has to do with the safety and happiness of the animals. Zoos are responsible for the safe and loving conservation and protection of animals that are on the verge of extinction. This topic may not be the most controversial of topics, but that is why it is important to be informed on these situations going on within zoos. The bright lights, happy children, and nice workers may seem wonderful, but as we have always been told, don’t read a book by its cover because there is more than meets the eye.
