Have you ever been to a zoo and seen happy, protected animals? Well, that happens all the time at most zoos. When you are younger, it seems like zoos are all about entertainment, but really the zoos are protecting the animals. In “The Stripes will Survive,” they create comfortable spaces for the animals, and use a family tree for selective breeding, and they keep away poachers. In “The Zoos Go Wild,” they made the habitat bigger, they put Willie the gorilla with 3 other women, and they kept him…

The second highly controversial function hunting works to serve is to benefit the environment by balancing and enriching it. This function is not only controversial to animal rights activists because it employs methods they find deplorable (Francione, 18), but also because they contest that hunting damages the environment rather than enriching it.

For a great many people, the successful destruction of the seal industry was a tremendous victory for animal rights and against inhumane practices. However, the clampdown on the…

1. What is bushmeat hunting? Why is it so harmful to primate populations? Bushmeat is any wild animal that is hunted and eaten from a forest. Bushmeat hunting means hunting animals that are already going extinct (or will soon be extinct). This is a threat to primates and will cause their extinction because it takes around 10 to 20 years to replace them in the environment. Since they keep being hunted, they can’t really keep pace to replace their population with the amount humans are killing.…
