Why Did We Create Zoos?


My question is about why did we create zoos? Was it for entertainment or was it for us just to see the outside world. But in the end it all started in the year 1500 BC by the Egypt Queen Hatshepsut it was the first know actual zoo know to this day. But we still think its cool because one Chinese empire used his huge zoo in the year 1100 BC to show how much true power he had. I think it is pretty much clear that zoos were much more than entertainment they were a sign of power. But we Americans/ world use are zoos as entertainment today, so I can also see why the Chinese empire would use there zoos for power because in the end they would just bring in more people, and more people means that it will be a greater empire. But in the end America has created some of the best zoos ever like San Diego zoo, the Cincinnati zoo, and more zoos that I really don’t want to tell. But the best thing to do is get your but on a plane and fly yourself over to Africa and see all these animals in person and then you can donate to save the animals. But in the end America loves their zoos and so does the world but I can see why because animals are interesting and they are love able and need to be seen. So in the end just go visit your local zoo for crying out loud. Dan out.
