This brought up a discussion in my class period on whether zoos are more harmful and hurtful than helpful and entertaining. This is mostly a result of distress from the animals, as they feel anxious and uneasy residing in a small cage with hundreds of people around them everyday.Īt the end of the trip, Biology I students were to answer a number of questions regarding to zoos and how they treat their animals. There were, as always, several different animals to gawk at and enjoy, but if you looked closely, you’d notice many of them laying lifeless in their cages, or pacing back and forth in their “environment”. students took a trip to the Toledo Zoo to walk around freely and view animals.
