Animaniacs NGO presentation

1. NGO name
Our NGO name is Animaniacs ~protect animals~.

2. Issue the group deals with
We deal with keeping animals in captivity. We think zoo is a place where people can enjoy and can learn about animals. However, for some animals it is a stressful place. They feel stress because of few evil zookeepers and the small enclosure.

3. Group's mission
Our mission is to stop evil zookeepers from killing animals. In 2014, at Copenhagen Zoo in Denmark, two giraffes were killed because their gene was not apporpriate for inbreeding. Four lions were also killed bacause they increased too much. To stop these zookeepers, we have to reeducate zookeepers; for example, in Denmark's case, if there is an animal that is difficult to inbreed or increased too much, zoo should either keep taking care or release to the wild.

4. Group's Goal

Our goal is to make zoo a comfortable place for both animals and human. As the survey showed, many people like animals and like zoos. However, few people think the enclosure is stressful for animals. Some animals in zoos are repeating the same movement, which shows stress. So if we can make the enclosure bigger and make the environment closer to the nature, both animals and human may feel less stress or feel less poor.

5. Example project

We call an animal expert and have them teach to the zookeepers by holding a lecture and also by internet, so that many zookeepers in all over the world can learn it.

6. The different part from other NGOs

In the world, there are many NGO’s which are against animal captivity. But we are for the idea of supporting zoos. We don’t call this captivity. We call this protection.
