Zoo Ethics examines the workings of modern zoos and considers the
core ethical challenges faced by people who choose to hold and
display animals in zoos, aquariums, or sanctuaries. Jenny Gray
asserts the value of animal life and assesses the impacts of modern
zoos, including the costs to animals in terms of welfare and the
loss of liberty. Gray highlights contemporary events, including the
killing of the gorilla Harambe at the Cincinnati Zoo in May 2016,
the widely publicized culling of a young giraffe in the Copenhagen
Zoo in 2014, and the investigation of the Tiger Temple in western
Thailand. Gray describes the positive welfare and health outcomes
of many animals held in zoos, the increased attention and
protection for their species in the wild, and the enjoyment and
education of the people who visit zoos. Zoo Ethics will empower
students of animal ethics and veterinary sciences, zoo and aquarium
professionals, and interested zoo visitors to have an informed view
of the challenges of compassionate conservation and to develop
their own ethical positions.
