Extractions: Los Angeles Times E-mail this article Print this article Search web archive Since business at the private Yulin Zoo soured a few years ago, the omnivore is lucky to see any kind of food. Once a day, his keeper scrapes together leftover lunches from a nearby children's martial-arts school. When that's not available, all the bear gets is porridge or cornmeal soup. "We feed him whatever we can get, just like a pig," said zoo manager Yang Yisheng. Much has been made of China's record on human rights. But little is known about the country's dismal performance on animal rights. As the communist nation reaps the financial benefits of capitalist economic reforms, captive animals have become victims of the mad dash to get rich quick. "The big problem in China is there are no general animal-protection laws like we have in the West," said Victor Watkins, director of wildlife at the London-based World Society for the Protection of Animals. "There seems to be no regulation of the zoos, no real awareness and no concern for the welfare of animals." That's not entirely true. China does have a law that forbids the poaching and hunting of endangered species. But it has no legislation to prevent cruelty and abuse against animals, including those that may be endangered.

Extractions: This is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the history and future of zoos and animal parks, as well as offering an assessment of present day facilities. Pro and con essays on a variety of topics related to zoo management, aquisition of animals and captive breeding provide both sides of the controversial issue of maintaining animals in captivity. Slight bias toward the view of zoos as the only viable future situation for wildlife but still offers critical analysis of issues involved.

Extractions: Interdisciplinary Project Interdisciplinary Project Index The learner was introduced to the concept of endangered species and habitats and conducted classroom, library and internet research into these subjects. The learner was introduced to the animals, plants and habitats of five continents available for viewing by participating in a team field trip to the San Diego Wild Animal Park at San Pasqual. The learner maintained a trip log as a form of field journal and was tasked with creating a word processed essay upon return to school. The learner was provided with extra credit opportunities based upon the various flora and fauna observed, as well as being required to create a map of the field trip activities. As a mathematical extension activity, the learner created a "wild animal park" balancing the numbers of various fauna based upon their feeding and grazing requirements.

Primates For Primates less than 100) and by 1.5 (if the intermembral index is greater Public support, asmeasured by annual attendances, for zoos and animal parks remains strong http://www.lisp.com.au/~primate/matthew.htm
Extractions: This paper examines the proposed new standards for exhibiting primates at zoos and animal parks in New South Wales. It examines why the standards have been developed and looks at some interesting welfare issues which the standards attempt to address. Some of the intended benefits for the primates, the general community, the zoo-visiting public, primate exhibitors and primate welfarists are presented. Some of the difficulties encountered in preparing the standards have revealed deficiencies in published information and in the availability of information about a variety of factors that effect the welfare of primates kept for display. Examples are presented to encourage improvement in understanding of these factors. The fact that non-human primates resemble humans in many ways has contributed greatly to their popularity as exhibit animals in zoos and animal parks. People readily empathise with primates and can become deeply concerned about their welfare. There is a growing appreciation that primates are one of the more highly developed groups of animals, having special psychological and social needs. The more advanced mental characteristics of this group arguably give its members a greater potential to suffer if their needs are not met. Consequently there is considerable public interest in the welfare of exhibited primates.
