Two faces of ZOO - perception of zoos from the view of their supporters and opponents
Tempírová, Lenka ; Trnka, Radek (advisor) ; Šusta, František (referee)
Two faces of ZOO Perception of zoos from the view of their supporters and opponents The main topic of this thesis is a role of zoological gardens in the modern society, especially their importance to conservation of biodiversity as well as to progress in public education. I was interested not only in the opinions and the attitudes of the supporters of zoological gardens, but also in views of their opponents as the opposite side. In the case of the opponents I wanted to reveal if their criticism of zoos is based on negative emotions (bad feeling from breeding animals in captivity and thinking about their rights to freedom) or rise from real inadequacies (for example bad living conditions of animals). So in the theoretical part of the thesis I was concerned about contributions of zoological gardens in many ways as well as about their limitations, mostly mentioned by their opponents. To be more precise in drawing conclusions I made my own empirical research which was based on questionnaires and interviews with directors of certain zoos in the Czech Republic. The main aim of my research was not only a usual opinion poll, but also a detection of differences in opinions and personal characteristics between supporters and opponents of zoos. I also wanted to find out which aspects of zoos are highly...

Šablaturová, Tereza ; Petrtýl, Miloslav (advisor) ; Kuříková, Pavlína (referee)
The Thesis focuses on captive breeding of bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) and its physical and behavioral aspects.
At the beginning there is current taxonomy of the species and his phylogeny and basic biology, including consequent threats caused by interaction with mankind.
The main part of the Thesis concentrates on the history of the captive breeding, shortlist of the theme parks that keep dolphins in captivity with emphasis on each continent and species which are bred there. Also, there are technical aspects of the breeding, such as diet, training, healthcare with accent on the diseases and their diagnostics while mentioning euthanasia of the bred individuals.
It's important to understand the true purpose of the marine mammal parks, which is usually misunderstood to be solely for entertainment purposes despite its high technical standards, while there should be aim for conservation of the species, education and research put first.
The attitude towards marine mammal parks is outlined at the end of the Thesis, followed by a list of organizations providing protection for the species bred in captivity.
