Abstract

The article reflects on how John Berger's essay "Why Look at Animals?" changed the author's perception of zoos. It mentions Berger's critique focuses on zoos' shortcomings, such as animals not meeting expectations and being marginalized in their confinement, and explores the historical shift in human-animal relationships, emphasizing the use of animal imagery to conceal their marginalization.
