Keeping wild animals in captivity is still object of criticism, above all due to the fact that room is restricted for these animals. But wild animal husbandry is basing on several factors: It has to concern physiological requirements as well as natural behaviour patterns, so as actions and reactions of wild living animals caused by ecological occasions have to be replaced by suitable arrangements. Most of the time proper animals husbandry is valued by quantity; in that way, that the measurements of artificial homes are often supposed to be more important than the quality of this enclosures. Optimal feeding, social structure, stimula for behaviour patterns like playing, breeding an rearing in calmness and well trained keepers are other basic requirements for wild animal husbandry. Criteria for keeping wild animals should not be scheduled by restrictive arrangements; innovations would be complicated by any regulations.
圈养野生动物仍然备受批评，主要原因是这些动物的活动空间受限。但是野生动物饲养基于几个因素：它必须考虑生理需求以及自然行为模式，因此野生环境中动物因生态情况引发的行为和反应必须通过适当安排来替代。大多数时候，合适的动物饲养以数量来衡量；这样一来，人工栖息地的尺寸往往被认为比这些围栏的质量更重要。最佳的喂养、社会结构、对行为模式的刺激（如玩耍）、安静环境中的繁殖和饲养以及训练有素的饲养员是野生动物饲养的其他基本要求。圈养野生动物的标准不应由严格的规定来制定；任何规定都会使创新变得复杂。
