Evolution is a necessity in our world. Organisms need to be able to adapt to their surroundings in order to survive, but it is sad to see that certain organisms have to evolve to survive in polluted areas, such as the Atlantic Killifish. According to JoAnna Klein, “Starting in the late 1990s, researchers became aware that the fish was tolerant of the toxic waters at the Lower Passaic Superfund Site.” Organisms should not have to adapt to polluted environments.

Animals experience unfair and cruel lives while humans use the excuse of protection to keep them captive.Therefore, I take the position that keeping animals captive is a cruel thing. Animals in captivity are often depressed, lonely, and aggressive due to human…

With the use of tap water also takes away from the 81.7% of plastic bottles found…
