Animal Tracker - an application that in the future be able to replace zoos

Animal Tracker - is an application developed by the Institute of Ornithology of the Max Planck. With it, you can watch the movement of birds around the world. Animal Tracker - is the first step towards the future, when zoos will disappear, and we will be able to look at the animals in their usual habitat.

I do not understand people who go to the zoo. I zoos since childhood are associated with dirty cells, unkempt animals and visitors, are more like the zoo inhabitants. Yes, there are exceptions - the zoos, where animals really comfortable. Large cages, appropriate people and staff, who loves his job. But let's be frank: you've seen a lot of zoos? I have none.

But nothing can be done. People love a spectacle, and while conservationists argue for the abolition of the zoo, the public against:

We want to get out of his apartment in the city, drive around town and see the exotic animals out of their habitat.

Over time, people will realize that animals should live in freedom. The app, which we describe below, created by such people.

Let's start with the creators. Ornithology of the Max Planck Institute in Munich is engaged in the study of birds. Realizing the problem of animals in captivity, members of the Institute in cooperation with other agencies created Animal Tracker application. It can help you keep track of the birds move in real-time, read the information about them and view photos.

Special GPS-tags, using which the tracking, have only recently been invented. Birds do not feel them, and we can observe their habits and flight. The application can be seen all the birds of movement, their descriptions and photographs taken before they were released.

I believe that these applications and services in the future will change our treatment of animals. After all, if we are comfortable to watch sports championships, concerts and movies on a TV screen, what prevents us from just watching and animals? It will take some time and will be the device the same size as the GPS-tags, but equipped with miniature cameras. And we can ensure that the animals behave in their natural habitat. But zoos disappear like a bad dream.
