For or against zoos?

Baptiste Mulot, chief veterinarian at the Beauval zoo, and Muriel Arnal, president of the animal defense association One Voice, discuss it.

For the first, “putting animals in zoos is a way of preserving the species.

"An opinion that Muriel Arnal does not share:" If we want to save a species, we go to its territory of origin and we save it, we educate the populations that are around.

" 

For her, zoo enclosures are also unsuitable for the needs of animals and are not made solely for the enjoyment of visitors.

If Baptiste Mulot agrees with this last idea, he adds that according to him, animal welfare is taken more and more into account in certain zoos: “There are enclosures which are very natural, where the animal is very difficult to see, because we are trying to get closer to the natural environment.
