The Role And Responsibility Of Zoos: An Animal Protection Viewpoint, John E. Cooper
The Role And Responsibility Of Zoos: An Animal Protection Viewpoint, John E. Cooper
Zoos and Aquariums Collection
The aim of this paper is to look at zoological collections from the viewpoint of the animal and, in particular, to draw attention to areas where welfare considerations should be paramount. I do not intend to cover the capture and transportation of zoo animals, although this is obviously of great importance and must be included in any overall consideration of the welfare of zoo animals. In this paper, however, I shall concentrate upon the care of the animal within the zoo environment.
