Recently several
zoos have decided to become more frugal with
expenses dedicated to animals well being improvement.
This tendency on the
surface seems inconsequential, as current standards already cover the minimum
requirements for animals survival. For several species longevity
had increased, sending a signal that the
strategies for standards of
living applied are the correct ones.
But there is another
side to consider, as even though many of the keeping activities seems rather mundane , there is the need for continuous research
and study to revert to the new role in Zoos as
future institutions for species conservation.
The nonchalant attitude of directors and procrastination in the implementation of new
strategies is not helping to move
towards their new future necessary roles in the animal world.
