Wahi a nā lālā o People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), ʻaʻole pono e mālama ʻia nā holoholona ma nā zoos. ʻO ka mālama ʻana i kahi tiger a i ʻole liona i loko o ka hale paʻa paʻa he mea maikaʻi ʻole ia no ko lākou olakino kino a noʻonoʻo. Eia kekahi, ʻaʻole palekana ia no nā kānaka. Ma ka nahelehele, hele ka tiger i mau haneli mau kilomita, akā hiki ʻole kēia i ka zoo. Hiki i kēia hoʻopaʻa hoʻopaʻa ʻia ke alakaʻi i ka luhi a me kahi maʻi noʻonoʻo maʻamau i nā holoholona ma nā zoo. Inā ua ʻike ʻoe i kekahi holoholona e hōʻike ana i nā ʻano stereotypical e like me ka wili ʻana, ke koli ʻana ma nā lālā, a i ʻole ka hele wāwae ʻole ʻana a puni ka pā, e loaʻa paha ia i kēia maʻi. Wahi a PETA, nahu kekahi mau holoholona ma nā zoo i ko lākou mau lālā a huki i ko lākou hulu, no laila e hoʻokomo ʻia lākou me nā antidepressants.
ʻO ka bea polar i kapa ʻia ʻo Gus, mālama ʻia ma New York's Central Park Zoo a euthanized i ʻAukake 2013 ma muli o kahi maʻi ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia, ʻo ia ka holoholona zoo mua i kuhikuhi ʻia i ka antidepressant Prozac. Ua ʻau mau ʻo ia i loko o kona loko wai, i kekahi manawa no 12 mau hola o ka lā, a i ʻole alualu i nā keiki ma kāna puka aniani. No kāna hana ʻino, ua loaʻa iā ia ka inoa i kapa ʻia ʻo "bipolar bear".
ʻAʻole i kaupalena ʻia ke kaumaha i nā holoholona ʻāina. Loaʻa nā pilikia olakino koʻikoʻi i nā momi kai e like me nā koholā pepehi, nā iʻa a me nā popoise i mālama ʻia i loko o nā paka moana. E like me ka mea kākau moʻolelo vegan a me ka mea hana ʻo Jane Velez-Mitchell e noʻonoʻo nei i kahi wikiō Blackfish 2016: "Inā paʻa ʻoe i loko o ka ʻauʻau no 25 mau makahiki, ʻaʻole ʻoe e manaʻo e lilo ʻoe i psychotic liʻiliʻi?" ʻO Tilikum, ke koholā pepehi kāne i hōʻike ʻia ma ka palapala hōʻike, ua pepehi i ʻekolu mau kānaka i loko o ke pio ʻana, ʻelua o lākou nā mea hoʻomaʻamaʻa pilikino. Ma ka nahelehele, ʻaʻole hoʻouka kaua i nā koholā pepehi kanaka. Manaʻo ka poʻe he nui ka huhū mau o ke ola i ka noho pio ʻana e hoʻouka ai nā holoholona. No ka laʻana, ma Malaki 2019, ma Arizona Zoo, ua hoʻouka ʻia kahi wahine e ka jaguar ma hope o kona piʻi ʻana i kahi pale e lawe i kahi selfie. Ua hōʻole ka zoo i ka euthanize i ka jaguar, me ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻana aia ka hewa i ka wahine. E like me ka ʻae ʻana o ka zoo ma hope o ka hoʻouka ʻana, he holoholona hihiu ka jaguar e hana e like me kona ʻano.
ʻOi aku ka pono o nā hale noho ma mua o nā zoos
ʻAʻole like me nā zoos, ʻaʻole kūʻai a hānai ʻia nā holoholona. ʻO kā lākou kumu hoʻokahi ka hoʻopakele, mālama, hoʻoponopono a me ka pale ʻana i nā holoholona hiki ʻole ke noho hou i ka nahele. No ka laʻana, ʻo ka Elephant Nature Park ma ka ʻākau o Thailand e hoʻopakele a mālama i nā elepani i hoʻopilikia ʻia e ka ʻoihana huakaʻi elephant. Ma Thailand, hoʻohana ʻia nā holoholona i ka circuses, a me ke noi alanui a me ka holo. ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻokuʻu ʻia kēlā mau holoholona i ka nahele, no laila e mālama nā mea manawaleʻa iā lākou.
Hoʻohana kekahi mau zoos i ka huaʻōlelo "reserve" ma ko lākou inoa e alakaʻi hewa i nā mea kūʻai aku i ka manaʻo he ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻokumu ʻana ma mua o ka mea maoli.
He mea kaulana loa nā zoos ma ke alanui ma ka US, kahi e mālama pinepine ʻia ai nā holoholona i loko o nā hīnaʻi paʻa. He pōʻino nō hoʻi lākou no nā mea kūʻai aku, e like me ka The Guardian, ma 2016 ma kahi o 75 mau alanui alanui i hāʻawi i ka manawa e launa pū me nā tigers, liona, primates a me nā bea.
"Ua hoʻonui nui ʻia ka nui o nā zoos ma ke alanui e hoʻohui i nā huaʻōlelo "shelter" a i ʻole "reserve" i ko lākou mau inoa i nā makahiki i hala. Hele maoli ka poʻe he nui i nā wahi e ʻōlelo nei e mālama i nā holoholona a hāʻawi iā lākou i kahi hoʻāno, akā ʻo ka hapa nui o kēia mau zoo he mea kūʻai ʻōlelo maikaʻi wale nō. ʻO ka pahuhopu nui o kēlā me kēia puʻuhonua a i ʻole ka puʻuhonua no nā holoholona ʻo ia ka hāʻawi ʻana iā lākou i ka palekana a me nā kūlana noho ʻoluʻolu loa. ʻAʻohe hale mālama holoholona kānāwai e hānai a kūʻai aku paha i nā holoholona. ʻAʻohe wahi hoʻāno holoholona kaulana e ʻae i ka launa pū ʻana me nā holoholona, me ka lawe ʻana i nā kiʻi me nā holoholona a i ʻole ka lawe ʻana iā lākou i waho no ka hōʻike lehulehu, "i hōʻike ʻia e PETA.
Ua hana nui nā mea hana pono holoholona i nā makahiki i hala iho nei. Ua pāpā kekahi mau ʻāina i nā circuses e hoʻohana ana i nā holoholona hihiu, a ua hoʻōki kekahi o nā hui mākaʻikaʻi nui i ka hoʻolaha ʻana i nā holo elephant, nā hale kapu tiger hoʻopunipuni a me nā aquarium ma luna o nā hopohopo kuleana holoholona. ʻO ʻAukake i hala aku nei, ua pani ka hale hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻo Buffalo Zoo i kāna hōʻike Elepani. Wahi a ka International Organization for Animal Welfare, ua helu ʻia ka zoo i ka "Top 10 Worst Zoos for Elephants" i nā manawa he nui.
ʻO Pepeluali i hala aku nei, ua pani ʻia ka Inubasaka Marine Park Aquarium o Iapana ma muli o ka emi ʻana o ke kūʻai ʻana i nā tiketi. ʻO ka maikaʻi loa, ua loaʻa i ka aquarium he 300 mau malihini kipa i ka makahiki, akā i ka nui o ka poʻe i ʻike i ka hoʻomāinoino holoholona, ua hāʻule kēlā helu i 000.
Manaʻo kekahi poʻe noiʻi e hiki i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo virtual ke hoʻololi i nā zoos. Ua kākau ʻo Justin Francie, ka luna nui o Responsible Travel, iā Apple CEO Tim Cook e pili ana i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka ʻoihana: “ʻAʻole ʻoi aku ka hoihoi o IZoo ma mua o nā holoholona i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, akā he ala ʻoi aku ke kanaka e hoʻonui i ke kālā no ka mālama holoholona. E hana kēia i kahi hoʻohālike pāʻoihana e hiki ke mau no nā makahiki he 100 e hiki mai ana, e huki ana i nā keiki o kēia lā a me ka lā ʻapōpō e kipa aku i nā zoos virtual me ka noʻonoʻo maʻemaʻe.
