For example, for “nonessential” populations, FWS is not allowed to designate “critical habitat.” It is a collaboration of Rogue and the Oregon Zoo , one of a handful of condor breeding facilities in the United States ( review here ). Virtually all experimental populations are classified as “nonessential,” providing flexibility.

For example, the Brown Honeyeater visits more than 300 different flowers. The species was bred at the zoo of Memphis, Tennesee ( source ). One distinction is that birds in Australia are much more important as pollinators of flowers than elsewhere. I guess the females feel that the blue of the bower treasures works well with their eyes.

Well, Copenhagen Zoo is back in the news; a few weeks after killing a giraffe and feeding it to some lions, it went and killed some of those same lions. I’m not gong to go into the ethics and reasons behind why a zoo might want to, well, manage its stock. Losing a few non-breeding lions in zoos a great deal less.

In 1987, only 27 were left in the wild and drastic action was taken to save the species: all remaining birds were captured, the California Condor was declared extinct in the wild, and a captive breeding program was begun, initially carried out by the San Diego Wild Animal Park and the Los Angeles Zoo. Good birding and happy drinking!

Dogs are likely to be true-born wet-nurses; in particular, it is related to whelp dogs, which are often used as step-mothers for young predators in the Zoos.

By way of an example take the Western Gulls that I studied on the Farallon Islands in California.

This is a very serious business here in New Zealand.

Even the most free-wheeling of birders don’t usually consider going to a zoo or a chicken farm a form of birding, but just because they choose to distinguish doesn’t mean they keep a list. The birders trying to flush up Yellow Rail is a good example of this. But still, birders generally do want their birds to count.

While it’s no longer possible to see this regal macaw soar gracefully through the Brazilian skies, to be able to worship them—even from afar at one of the conservatories or zoos—would be a dream, at last, come true.

So, while this fact does not need to concern us, if we are thinking about ethical principles, for example based on rational arguments leading to deontological ethics, that changes when we are talking about how to move society towards this ethical ideal. This observation is so obvious that it does not seem to merit quoting empirical support.
