86. NATURE. Animal Attractions. Modern Zoos | PBS
    Modern zoos, 1 2. Today, zoos combine educational exhibit areas with backstageresearch areas where zoologists study the animals under their care.  
    http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/attractions/zoos.html
    
    Extractions: It's not Australia, but koalas feel at home. If you are the sort of person who complains about overly large zoo exhibits that allow animals to stray from the most prominent viewing areas, you should take a closer look at what these wildlife parks are trying to accomplish. As "Gorilla Tropics," "Polar Bear Plunge," and other San Diego Zoo areas demonstrate in ANIMAL ATTRACTIONS, the zoo is not a "living museum," but a place where animals should feel at home. Today, zoos combine educational exhibit areas with backstage research areas where zoologists study the animals under their care. Visitors are captivated by animals at the zoo. During the latter part of the 20th century, zoos began to provide a new experience for visitors by replacing the iron bars and concrete walls of cages with protective moats, bigger animal areas, and recreated tropical rainforests. The San Diego Zoo, founded in 1916, helped pioneer this shift. Zoos used to keep all animals in cages. In 1868, Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo was reportedly the first zoo in the United States to open its gates to the public, followed closely by the Philadelphia Zoo and New York's Central Park Zoo. These parks filled their cages with wild-caught animals. As the burgeoning populations and growing industries of the 20th century began decimating wild habitats, zoos took on the role of housing remnants of once-thriving animal populations. Then in 1907, Carl Hagenbeck, of the Tierpark in Hamburg, Germany, thought of using moats rather than bars to enclose animals, but this trend took more than a few years to catch on. Dr. Harry Wegeforth, founder of the San Diego Zoo, was determined to create moated exhibits, and in 1922, the first lion area opened, free of any enclosing wires. At first, visitors were afraid that the lions would escape and attack them.

    Extractions: With about 1,000 giant pandas left in the wild, this roly-poly animal is on the verge of extinction. An effective captive breeding program is critical to the animal's survival. But captive breeding of pandas has had limited success, because their mating habits are poorly understood. Scientists working to learn more about panda biology and behavior hope to gain insights that will help the species survive in the wild.

    Opinionatedly Yours . 9 December 30, 1997. When zoos Tell Lies. By Barry KentMacKay. But that does not justify their incarceration. zoos on the Defensive.  
    http://www.api4animals.org/492.htm
    
    Extractions: #9: December 30, 1997 When Zoos Tell Lies By Barry Kent MacKay When you walk into the Sacramento Zoo, about the first thing you encounter is a wide expanse of water, surrounded by vegetation, with an island in the middle. A low fence is all that separates you from the birds therein. Being a fanatic about birds, I find myself drawn to this miniature lake during my zoo visits. As a wildlife artist I benefit from close up looks at these exotic birds. But that does not justify their incarceration. Zoos on the Defensive As the animal rights movement grows in public support, zoos find themselves increasingly on the defensive. Even if you do not oppose the concept of zoos, if you have a gram of compassion you most certainly will have felt uncomfortable about at least some forms of animal imprisonment seen in some zoos. Zoos argue that they serve many different functions that are of value, if not to the individual animals, at least to the species. Indeed, in places where some form of peer accreditation seeks to provide at least minimum standards, it is not supposed to be enough merely to have animals on display, merely to entertain. So what is the purpose of that lake that greets the visitor just past the gate of the Sacramento Zoo?
