The lecturer casts doubt on the points made in the reading. He argues that zoos are not beneficial for the animals for the following reasons.
First of all, he mentions that the reading's statement about treating animals right is not correct. He brings the example of two dead pandas in a zoo. He mentions that accident happened because of lack of management since they were a victim of rat poison which could have been prevented. In his example he states that the safety manager, and the zoo's administration did not take care of their animals well.
Second, the lecturer disagrees with the reading mentioning that zoos are no longer being used as a type of entertainment. He mentions that the educational aspect of zoos are not being targeted however, zoos are trying to attract more visitors who do not understand the educational aspects of zoos. He also mentions that management makes it seem okay to use animals for our entertainment purposes. Moreover, he argues that animals appear artificial to the visitors which is misleading.
Third, he disagrees with reading's statement about protecting endangered species with following reasons. First off, he mentions that the example in the reading is the only successful story about saving animals. However, saving animals from extinction has overally not been successful by zoos. Secondly, the lecturer states that the number of animals kept in zoos are very small, and zoos force animals to breed with choosing same family of animals which usually cause a lot of birth defects.
In conclusion, he concludes that there is no distinct advantage of keeping animals in zoos versus their natural habitat.
