| contents | Captive elephants and cetaceans: The misery of the menagerie Lori Marino Lester O’Brien Catherine Doyle Heather Rally Bob Jacobs Comunicación zoo elephant cetacean Captivity marine park Modern zoos and entertainment parks have vastly improved over the decades. However, they still retain some of the old menagerie-style characteristics, such as restrictive space, lack of stimulation, and artificial social conditions. Highly intelligent species that are wide-ranging with complex social lives are at a greater risk for poor welfare in captive settings than others. Here, we explore the shared characteristics and welfare challenges of captive elephants and cetaceans, focusing on those characteristics such as space, sociality, and cognitive complexity, found to be important factors in coping with captivity across many species. We discuss the implications for whether elephants and cetaceans can thrive in zoos and marine parks and offer an alternative in the form of sanctuaries. 2025 artículo científico 2174-3487 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=511782476005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511782476005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511782476005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511782476005/511782476005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511782476005/movil 10.7203/metode.16.29118 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5117 Mètode Science Studies Journal application/pdf Universitat de València Mètode Science Studies Journal (España) Num.5 Vol.15 |
