American zoos flourished during the Great Depression, thanks to
federal programs that enabled local governments to build new
zoological parks, complete finished ones, and remodel outdated
facilities. This historical text examines the way in which
community leaders successfully advocated for zoo construction in
the context of poverty and widespread suffering, arguing that they
provided employment, stimulated tourism, and democratized leisure.
Of particular interest is the rise of the zoo professional, which
paved the way for science and conservation agendas. This book is a
testament to the New Deal's profound impact on animal welfare, the
development of the zoo profession, and the rise of public
institutions.
