The document discusses issues faced by Zoo Negara due to the increasing number of abandoned pets. Many animals are surrendered sick or malnourished, requiring quarantine and treatment before being housed. This takes up limited space and resources. The zoo is unable to keep all animals and some are sent to other zoos. Problematic species are released into forests due to fears over illegal origins. The dumping of pets poses management challenges for the zoo.

21 Pros and Cons of Zoos

Louise Gaille
Zoos go by several different official names. They can be called “animal parks,” “menageries,” or “zoological gardens.” Despite the different names, each offers visitors the chance to view animals that are confined in an enclosure. Many zoos have breeding programs in place to help eliminate genetic bottlenecks, especially when dealing with an endangered species.
Zoos have been part of our human history from the very beginning when early humans began documenting what happened to them. One of the oldest known zoos was discovered in Egypt in 2009 and was believed to have existed in 3,500 BC. Evidence of elephants, wildcats, baboons, and hippopotami were discovered at the location.
The benefit of having a local zoo is that it gives people an opportunity to learn more about the animals and nature. It is a way to engage children in science, bring families together, and help save certain animal species that are close to extinction.
As for the disadvantages of a zoo, the facilities that are offered can be abused for personal or political gain. One of the earliest zoos in the Western Hemisphere didn’t feature animals. It featured people that had different physical traits, such as having dwarfism or albinism. Even the Catholic Church has a zoo which feature a collection of people from different races and tribes as late as the 16th century.
Ota Benga was part of a human exhibit at zoos in the United States as late as 1906, in St. Louis and the Bronx Zoo.
The pros and cons of zoos are important to consider from a modern standpoint. Our views about zoos may have changed, but is it still ethical to support animal captivity?
What Are the Pros of Having Zoos?
1. Zoos provide an educational resource.The modern zoo plays a critical role in education children and families about the different animals with whom we share this planet. Staff from a zoo will travel to local schools to make presentations, offer special programs on the zoo grounds, and partner with community providers to extend educational opportunities to everyone. No matter what a person’s socioeconomic status may be, there is a chance to learn something new because of the work of a zoo.
2. A zoo provides a protected environment for endangered animals.There are several animals which are poached frequently because of certain items. Having a zoo provides these animals with a safer place to live because they are behind multiple levels of protection. Although poachers have been able to break into zoos to take animals in the past, this is not a frequent occurrence and is normally not successful when it does occur.
3. Zoos can provide a place for the humane treatment of rare animals.One of the best examples of this is the Przewalski horse. In 1945, there were 13 horses that were captured from the wild and placed into a zoo. The last Przewalski horse was seen in the wild in 1966. Because of extensive breeding programs and an effort to reint.

6. More and more animals are surrended to Zoo Negara.
Sometimes, the animals are abandoned at the gates.
Zoo Negara accepts the animals for humane reasons
but the dumping of these animals poses management
problems for the Malaysian Zoological Society. The
dumping of animals here has grown tremendously. Most
of these animals are those commonly kept as pets.
Some animals arrive at the zoo ill and malnourished.
Feeding and handling them incur costs. They might even
bring diseases and infect other animals. The animals are
5
7. quarantined for three months before they can go into
enclosures or cages, where they are treated for any
diseases. As such, they take up the limited quarantine
space the zoo has.
Zoo Negara is unable to keep all the animals dropped
at its doorstep. Thus, they are given away to other zoos.
Primates, such as monkeys, are released into the forests
as they attack each other in shared enclosures.
The zoo does not accept species listed under the
Convention on International trade in Endangered Species
(CITES) for fear of illegel origins. However, as some of
these animals are just left at the zoo, the management
has no choice but to take them in.
