The recent controversy regarding the Pink Dolphin at Underwater World Singapore who is suffering from skin cancer has raised concerns that keeping animals in captivity is in humane and detrimental to their health. Sea Shepherd Singapore and Wildlife Watcher, environmental NGOs, have issued a report in the link below exposing the substandard living conditions of these animals. Should animals be kept in zoos? While proponents may assert that keeping animals in zoos serves an educational purpose, I believe that their main objective is profit acquisition. The educational effect of keeping animals in captivity does not outweigh the detrimental effect it has on the animals' health and quality of life.
