Should zoo animals be used for political purposes?
- Why was it done?
- To help endangered pandas & conservation efforts
- To publicise the zoo and the low numbers of pandas
- RZSS founded Edinburgh Zoo for
prestige, education and status. Zoo was
accused of embezzlement -pandas
would reinstate good reputation
- Edinburgh Zoo has good breeding programmes
- To forge political links
- China were allowed to fish in Scottish waters
- China were allowed to fish in Scottish waters
- To make money for the zoo - extra revenue
- Conservation - to learn how to keep & breed pandas
- Research - how pandas behave, reintro into wild
- Education - public, keepers
- Entertainment
- To help endangered pandas & conservation efforts
- What are they trying to achieve?
- Baby pandas to continue species and conservation efforts
- Increased zoo profit and reputation
- Raise funds for RZSS & Giant Panda Project
- Boost wild population numbers
through reintroduction of captive
individuals
- Publicity
- Good political connections
- Baby pandas to continue species and conservation efforts
- Is it right?
- Not well adapted, so should
we strive to save them when
they are dying out anyway?
- Partly humans fault they are dying out, so have duty to
save them
- Conservation efforts too focussed on pandas. Other species
need saving too
- Money raised ought to go back to pandas as opposed to other endangered species
- Pandas are logo of WWF so they should be seen to help
- Pandas more likely to raise money due to high popularity
- Scotland has similar climate to China
- Keeper experiences are questionable
- Real drain on money before donations
- £285,000 for enclosure, £660,000 for rent/year, £70,000 on bamboo/year
- £285,000 for enclosure, £660,000 for rent/year, £70,000 on bamboo/year
- Not well adapted, so should
we strive to save them when
they are dying out anyway?
- Conclusion
- Could raise money and undertake
conservation efforts without displaying animals
in front of public
- Promotes public awareness, but transportation
and captivity could lead to stress, thus preventing
breeding
- Different ways could be
investigated & implemented for
political friendship
- Could go ahead as long as welfare is met
- Perhaps more sensible to invest money in
wildlife reserves, and awareness/promotion of
anti-poaching and deforestation
- Could raise money and undertake
conservation efforts without displaying animals
in front of public
