    The captivity of animals is not a relatively new practice among humans, and its origins are evident in many early civilizations. The domestication of animals is more prominent today with livestock and house pets. However, humans struggle with habituating exotic animals, resulting in many wild animals being forcibly put into zoos and amusement parks for mere entertainment and profit. Captivity of wild animals comes at the cost of the psychological and physical state of the animals. Such cruelty is most evident among orca populations imprisoned in SeaWorld’s across the globe.…

    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,…

    Many people fail to realize exotic pets go through abuse when traveling from place to place, or even when the animals are living with an owner. According to Peta, in the article “Inside the Exotic Pet Trade” and “Keep Wild Animals Out of Backyards”, Chrissy Matthies, an author for Peta claims, “ When trappers, take animals from their natural habitats, the animals often change hands several times through intermediaries and exporters, and they endure grueling transport conditions.” The definition of trappers is “the use of device to remotely catch an animal”(The Adventures of Jungle Jenny). Which means exotic animals go through countless people before actually arriving at a destination and when being transported the animals are crammed into very small crates, boxes, and various other places through the animal 's journey. Another example from Peeta, in the article “Inside the Exotic Trade”, Chrissy Matthies writes, “ Baby turtles have been taped so that they are trapped inside their shells and shoved by the dozen into tube socks”.…

    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.…
