Hello everyone,
Zoos can be a great way to learn about different species and their habitats, inspiring a new generation of conservationists. In Zoos By studying animals in a controlled environment, scientists can gain valuable insights into their behavior, physiology, and biology.
But on the other side of this there are a lot of Animal Welfare Concerns, I have seen documentaries about the stress and boredom that animals experience in captivity, and it breaks my heart. Just imagine the Limited Space and Natural Behavior, I honestly think Zoos often can't replicate the natural habitats and spaces that animals need, leading to a lack of stimulation and natural behavior.
Is it right to keep animals in zoos for human entertainment, or should we keep them in their natural habitat, something like safari?
Safari: The Real Deal
Animal in Safari are Wild and free:
Also in safaris we have some Safari Guides, Having an experienced guide shows me the ropes and shares insights into the animals' behavior and habitat.
lastly Safaris is always giving the Wild and free vibes, and I feel like I'm part of the wild.
The Zoo on the Other Hand is A Controlled Environment
Zoos teach me about different species, habitats, and conservation efforts.
Some zoos do amazing work in breeding programs and research to protect endangered species.
Zoos also provide a more predictable experience, which can be great for learning.
I will go for Safari, I feel Safari's are more ethical and fair.
Personally I have seen a lot of zoos in Nigeria maltreating all these Beautiful majestic creatures. I remembered seeing some lion in Ibadan zoo looking very malnourished and hungry.
I was so heartbroken, after all people pay to get access to come to the zoo, why can't they feed those animals well and give them proper feeding and treatment.
I remembered the only time I went visiting a zoo was more than 20 years ago, and it was even during my primary school excursion to Ibadan zoo.
It has really been a long time, and I would schedule an actual time to visit one, although I wish we have a lot of safari here in Nigeria, so I can check on that instead.
