Animal Ethics

JUNE 7, 2016

The zoo, surely, carries responsibility for deficiencies in its enclosure. In light of this horrible incident, is it right for the zoo to carry on a breeding program that subjects more animals to such unnatural lives? In my opinion, neither Harambe nor the child should ever have been at the zoo.

At the risk of being a killjoy, let me say that there should ( morally ) be no zoos. Like humans, they have a right to liberty. Mark Spahn sent a link to this blog. Wild animals belong in the wild. They do not exist for our amusement, entertainment, or education.

I especially liked your posting from Gardner Williams’ “The Moral Insignificance of the Total of All Value.” It’s a job-matching site for all jobs related to animals, like training, grooming, veterinary medicine, caretaking, zoo positions, and much, much more. First of all, I want to tell you how much I enjoy Animal Ethics.

I will address two of them in the new year, namely, “Is hunting moral at all?” In the past I have attributed some of this conflict to differences between the conservation mindset and that of animal rights/animal welfare. Perhaps it would be better to move the tigers to that bigger reserve, or maybe a zoo.

Strangely, the photo accompanying the Wikipedia entry on Collared Finchbills , Asian birds, was taken at Cincinnati zoo. I wonder what Americans would think if, in a Wikipedia entry, a Bald Eagle would be illustrated using a photo taken at an Albanian zoo. But I am grumbling a little bit about it. Well, Nanhui had some this month.
