Jane Goodall is a very well-known professional of animals, particularly chimpanzee's. Her view of zoos is that they do provide a good education for the public who wont on a regular basis be able to see how wonderful these animals really are. She also believes that there are certain animals that should not be held in zoo's because they need extra room and their nature is to be more wild, such as wolves. She doesn't give us a straight answer on whether she thinks zoo's are humane or not, just pros and cons of the situation. She believes that zoos are OK if the animals are truly getting all of the care that they need; most importantly a big area and not confined to a small cage. An important point that she brings up is that wild animals and there habitats are becoming more and more scarce and zoo's can actually help keep the animals in a more safe environment and protect them from hunting. If Jane Goodall, the expert for wild animals, is accepting zoos if and only if the zoo's are doing a good job of keeping the animals in a great environment, this may sway are beliefs on the role zoo's play in our community.
