AbstractAttempts to improve animal welfare have commonly centered around three broad objectives: (1) to ensure good physical health and functioning of animals, (2) to minimize unpleasant “affective states” (pain, fear, etc.) and to allow animals normal pleasures, and (3) to allow animals to develop and live in ways that are natural for the species.

In either event, hybridization between animals with differently coadapted gene or chromosomal complexes can result in a decrease in fertility, viability, etc. in the initial hyb...... hiện toàn bộ Reproductive status of endemic felid species in Latin American zoos and implications for ex situ conservation Tập 22 Số 5 - Trang 421-441 - 2003
