   Extractions: Home Media Center Factsheets Despite their professed concern for animals, zoos remain more "collections" of interesting "items" than actual havens or simulated habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals in captivity, bored, cramped, lonely, and far from their natural homes. Says Virginia McKenna, star of the classic movie Born Free and now an active campaigner in behalf of captive animals: "It is the sadness of zoos which haunts me. The purposeless existence of the animals. For the four hours we spend in a zoo, the animals spend four years, or fourteen, perhaps even longer if not in the same zoo then in others day and night; summer and winter. . . . This is not conservation and surely it is not education. No, it is 'entertainment.' Not comedy, however, but tragedy."(1) Life Sentence, No Parole Zoos range in size and quality from cageless parks to small roadside menageries with concrete slabs and iron bars. The larger the zoo and the greater the number and variety of the animals it contains, the more it costs to provide quality care for the animals. Although more than 112 million people visit zoos in the United States and Canada every year, most zoos operate at a loss and must find ways to cut costs (which sometimes means selling animals) or add gimmicks that will attract visitors. Zoo officials often consider profits ahead of the animals' well-being. A former director of the Atlanta Zoo once remarked that he was "too far removed from the animals; they're the last thing I worry about with all the other problems." (2)

Accreditation is proof positive that an institution is committed to the highest standards in animal care, ethics, conservation, and education. What is accreditation? AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums undergo a rigorous six-month long review as well as an on-site inspection by a team of experts who examine the animal collection, veterinary care, the exhibits and physical facilities, safety, security, finances, staffing, and involvement in education, conservation, and research. Once awarded, accreditation must be renewed every five years. What is certification?

    Extractions: Zoos and Aquariums Significant components of the cultural wealth of California are the marvelous zoos and aquariums located throughout the state. The California Association of Zoos and Aquariums, known as CAZA , consists of 23 zoos and aquariums, as well as numerous Associate and Commercial Members. The 20 Voting Members are institutions accredited by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA). CAZA began in 1986 and was incorporated as a 501(c)6 nonprofit organization in 1992. Collectively, the member zoos and aquariums are host to over 20 million visitors each year and serve more than 500,000 households of devoted zoo and aquarium members. In addition, they help to educate thousands of California students, preschool through college, about conservation and biology. Combined, CAZA institutions reflect a financial contribution of more than $1.8 billion to the State's economy each year. California's zoo and aquarium community is a microcosm of the zoo and aquarium network throughout the country - with each institution sharing its commitment to the principles and purposes of zoology. The professional staff at CAZA institutions offers California a rich resource of expertise and experience in conservation and environmental and animal management. Together they represent hundreds of years of working with captive and wild populations of rare and endangered animals - from small invertebrates to large mammals.
