interment.Adam Brooks

Zoos are the ultimate learning experience.

Fun and educational.

Total number of zoos in the U.S. – 355

There are over 2,800 zoos and aquariums total in the

world today.

As many as 400,000 student will visit any one

zoo annually.

Up to 1,000,000 visitors can visit one park alone in one

year.

Certain zoos are currently doing research to help find

ways to prevent animals from going extinct.

Reasons behind keeping

zoos open• Breeding of endangered

animals.

• Bringing education and knowledge to the general

public.

• Raising money to protect these animals.

• Preserving these animals in zoos and the others of the species in the wild.

The other side• Many people see zoos as interment camps

for animals. • Animals are:

• Underfed

• Abused

• Neglected

• illegally sold

• Unethical care

Those places are not zoos.They just call themselves

zoos.

Zookeepers care for the animals that are

in their care

They are like children

Put the animals in their care first

Protection of animals and the

guests

Practice escaped animal drills

Ensure everything is safe for visitors

Safety is always the number one priority.
