Should Animals Be Taken Away?

Taking wild animals away from their natural habitat is harmful to the animal. You shouldn’t take them because you never know how they will react to other animals of the same species, they might become aggressive or they might get along. All together it wouldn’t be a good choice. These reasons below are my thoughts on this argument.

First things first, what do they do if they are hungry but they have to wait until a certain time of day to eat, how would you feel if you were hungry and had to wait to eat until a certain time. You would probably find something and eat that, the animals don’t have that option it is up to the person in charge of the animal to feed it. They don’t learn to hunt if they are taken

Some of these things are that animals can get aggressive towards other animals in the cage that they share, also the animals can get depressed. The animals can get anxiety or stressed out just like a person except it’s harder to tell because they can’t talk to the human who takes care of it, the animals are stressed because you took them from their natural habitat are it can harm them.

Thirdly, all of these animals can get sick. Imagine having an animal and it didn’t listen, what would you do? Would you abuse it?, because sometimes at Zoos they don’t give the animal that didn’t listen any thing to eat for that day, sometimes it get to the part where these animals are afraid of the people, the animals can’t get away from the people who don’t feed them or hurt them. Its harmful to the animals and it can traumatize them.

As you can see wild animals should not be taken away from their natural habitat,because it is harmful to the animals. They can’t hunt or learn to hunt when taken very young. They will have unnatural behaviors and get depressed. The animals can get an illness and humans might not know what is going on, so what I am saying is that taking wild animals from their natural habitat is harmful to the

    Though, I know the establishment of zoos gave people the opportunity to see and learn about different animals from around the world, they play a role in animal conservation and education. It is a way of preserving species of animals that may become extinct in the future. What we do not realize is by keeping these animals in confinement, it is an act of cruelty and we do not know what takes place behind the scenes of the shows and displays of these animals. Studies have indicated that confined animals living with uncommon social groups, different climates, and unsuitable diets, unlike animals living in the wild, can lead to animals suffering from psychological and physical problems such as zoochosis. Zoochosis is a kind of behavior common in…

    I believe that there are ethical issues with species reintroduction, which harm the animals that humans are trying to save. Animals have evolved to succeed in their natural environment; however, with human intervention, the rules of natural selection have changed. Animal liberation groups call for the freedom of all animals, but this may no longer be feasible. Animals who were once fit to live in the wild, their natural habitat, have become accustomed to captivity. They have lost their natural instincts and are no longer able to adapt to the wild.…

    From zoos, to aquariums, to petting zoos, and even our own pets, humans have always been fascinated by animals, and have gone to certain extents to use them for learning purposes, preservation, survival, companionship, and occasionally entertainment. Menageries allow people to learn about animals from a safe distance and see some animals which they would never have seen if it were not for wildlife parks. Many argue that captive animals are not happy in their environment, and should be set free from zoos in their natural habitat. Although many find captivity cruel and unnecessary, having animals in captivity is beneficial to our society as well as to captive animals because when done right, endangered species are protected and well taken care of, people are able to experience beautiful wildlife,…

    According to National Geographic, the article “Exotic Pets”, former exotic wildlife owner, Tim Harrison claims, “(I) will never again own anything wild or exotic./ (I) believe ownership of all potentially dangerous exotic animals should be banned”. Therefore even a former owner of wolves, snakes, lions, and bears agrees that having possession of wild animals can be extremely dangerous to a person considering exotic pets can be unpredictable. Furthermore, owners of exotic pets do not realize the risk and danger they put on the community for housing these exotic creatures. In National Geographic, the article “Exotic Pets” Lauren Slater writes, “A man named Terry Thompson let 50 of his wild animals, including lions and tigers, out of their cages and enclosures before killing himself”.
