Visitor—Animal Interactions at the Zoo
Abstract
Throughout the twentieth century, one of the many reasons people have been drawn to zoos is for the opportunity to interact with less familiar animal species. Major venues of direct human—animal interaction in zoos are animal rides, demonstrations, children's zoos, and public feedings. Visitor interest is so strong in these programs that people are willing to pay additional fees in order to participate in them. In this paper, we discuss how these activities might enhance or detract from the education and conservation missions of zoos, and describe the potential effect of human—animal interactions on zoo animal welfare.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
