78. Are Zoos Ethical? Rob Laidlaw For Animals For Earth - a calm, non-judgemental place to learn

    • Diari

Are zoos ethical?  We’ll help you find that answer for yourself in today’s interview.  As imagined, it’s not a simple yes or no.

I’m joined by Rob Laidlaw, the founder of Zoocheck, a wildlife protection organization based in Canada.  He’s an author of ten children’s books, a chartered biologist, a speaker, and one of the most successful animal rights advocates of the century. 

He’s down to earth, humble and kind, and does not seem to be deterred by the roadblocks we often hit as we fight for animals.  He’s a wealth of knowledge, and we’re so thankful that he shared his thoughts and perspectives with us in this interview.

In today’s conversation, we address “are zoos ethical?” through the following topics:


Types of Zoos
How Have Zoos Changed Over Time?
Design Tricks Used by Zoos
Where Do Zoo Animals Come From?
Negative Effects of Captivity on Animals
How Can We Help Animals in Zoos?
What about Conservation and Education?
What Should We Do When We Visit a Zoo?
Zoos of the Future
