Summary

If you've visited a zoo and come face-to-face with a magnificent creature, such as a tiger, elephant or gorilla, you may have paused to wonder if the animals are happy or felt guilty that the joy of your visit comes at a cost. Modern, well-run zoos and aquariums do important research and conservation work and teach visitors about the challenges of animals in the wild and the people striving to save them. They help visitors to consider their impact and think about how they can make a difference. Yet the question remains -- can modern zoos be ethically justified? Zoo Ethics examines the workings of modern zoos and considers the core ethical challenges that face those who choose to hold and display animals in zoos, aquariums or sanctuaries
