Captivity

Wild animals are keeping in captivity for different reasons and in different places like zoos, circus and for researches. In my opinion, I am not like animals keeping in captivity for any reason because they are also living things like us. Animals kept in captivity are like a good family outing to some people but for others, it is like an animal is a cell of prison. The discussion of whether or not animals should be held in captivity is one that will not stop. The discussions go both ways. I…

2015, there were 58 orcas held in captivity from Orlando to Russia to Japan, in 15 different locations (These facilities are keeping orcas captive). Seaworld is home to a majority of these orcas, holding 23 of the 58 in their three different locations, Orlando, San Antonio and San Diego (WDC). Many experts and professionals feel as if the orcas are being held in conditions that are unacceptable for both the physical and mental health of the whales. The captivity of orcas is inhumane and should…

Whales Whales in captivity is a horrible thing because the whales are separated from their familie, are forced to perform in front of screaming audiences, and they can act out and hurt humans and each other in small spaces. Male orca whales have collapsed dorsal fins. When there in the wild there dorsal fin stays straight up. When there in captivity there dorsal fin collapses. This is most likely because they are cramped up in a tight place so they can’t swim freely. The orca’s also…

A Comparison Between Authors from Vastly Different Eras At first glance, you might assume that authors living and writing on topics existing over 150 years apart would be so vastly different with no realistic chance of sharing a common message. Each author lived in distinct time periods with marked differences in writing styles, religious backgrounds, and motivations. The daily habits and obstacles of each would be entirely foreign to the other had they ever had the opportunity to meet. One…

the captivation of animals, we cannot defy the truth. Currently, circuses and zoos hold animals in captivity that affect them negatively throughout the world both physically and psychologically. The life expectancy of these animals held in captivity declines drastically in comparison to wild animals. Elephants in the wild are assumed to live between sixty to seventy years, however while in captivity, this number is cut slightly less than half. In Last Chance for Animals’ article, “What…

entertainment for humans. However recently the documentary Blackfish has brought attention to the abuse that these marine mammals have been subjected to. Orcas face performance consequences, medical problems, and a shorter lifespan. Keeping killer whales in captivity is an inhumane way to entertain humans. Since 1961, orcas have been captured to exhibit them in marine parks. Due to the immense interest of money, owners of these parks wanted to have a more exotic attraction that would catch the…

My view on the topic after my research When I originally started this project my initial standpoint was that all forms of animal captivity are wrong. I still stand by this in terms of SeaWorld, circus animals and wildlife parks that simply do not care about the animal’s welfare but what has really changed my mind on the topic is UK Zoos. From communicating with Flamingo Land, Blackpool Zoo and Belfast Zoo, it seems like they all have one common goal in mind; conservation and making sure the…

In 1675, King Phillips War was going on and colonies were being taken over and people were being held captive by Native Americans. Mary Rowlandson’s was one of many held captive. In her book, A Narrative of the Captivity an Restoration, her faith is tested, and she demonstrates that her relationship with God is just as strong as ever, she uses it as an opportunity to spread the word of God. One reason Rowlandson survived was because of her faith and her optimism while she was captured. Her…

Bottlenose Dolphins: Wild vs. Captivity Imagine that all your life you were free to run to any place that you wanted, and nothing could stop you. But wait, there was one thing. Stop! There is a person taking you by the arm and dragging you back home against your will. From that day on, you were locked in your house, never to be let out again. This is what is happening to Bottlenose dolphins, who are being taken out of the wild and brought into captivity around the world. Many people say this…
