Animal Welfare and the Future of Zoos | Ron Kagan | TEDxOaklandUniversity
Detroit Zoological Society Executive Director Ron Kagan will share a view of the future that includes a different relationship between human and non-human animals. Zoos will demonstrate a fundamental commitment to being "patient-centered” – ensuring a great quality of life for every single animal in a zoo. Not just aspirations and words but reality. He will explain the challenging responsibility involved with keeping living beings "captive" and the need to deliver on a decades-long promise to make captivity similar to (and possibly better than) the wild.
