There are three parts to be a positive impact in the agriculture industry. They are a consumer, a worker, and an agriculture advocate to keep the cycle of transactions happening and promoting agriculture educating the public. As a consumer I should be buying locally to support our local economy and neighbors. To I have the produce right next to me, I feel that why go farther away to get the same product that is usually not as fresh because of the processing and time from field to table. Also…

children and adults. Today, many people would agree that observing animals in the zoo allows them to learn many interesting facts about the creatures they share the planet with. Despite the abundance of wild animals shows and educational programs on TV, zoos do not lose their popularity and attract even more people. We love to watch animals and, regardless of our position in favor or against zoos, many of us would like to see that the animals are taken great care of and are protected. While some…

families, tourists etc can go and see a variety of animals. People love to go to the zoo to see the animals, but what about the animals? Does zoo life affect the health and well-being of the animals? Is extinction natural selection? Are animals bred in captivity able to be released into the wild and if not, what's the point in breeding them?

Should animals perform in circuses? Would you ever feel happy if your freedom all of the sudden is snatched away by an unknown entity and is forced to forever do their bidding?

They are known for showing off the wild animals, and educating you on them at the same time. I don’t think zoos do very well with that. To me, a zoo is a large business that captures wild animals and changes their lives forever. They hold them in captivity and don’t treat them like the should, like wild animals. Many zoos are businesses and known for only caring about the money, and not actually taking care of the animals. Zoos should not hold wild animals captive because it shortens their life…

say zoos are inhumane because wild animals are not designed to be in captivity. While supporters say the animals are highly benefitted in zoos because they are protected for predators, starvation, or other dangerous threats.

of entertainment. The only view an animal in captivity will ever experience, is life behind metal bars and barren concrete with people gawking at them. The number of animals suffering from extreme stress and depression is increasing daily. Zoos teach people it is acceptable to interfere with animals in their natural habitat and continue to place them into captivity; depriving them of open space, herds, and control over their life.

completely different opinions. The first article was about how most zoos lie about them being dedicated to wildlife conservation, public education, and animal welfare, and that zoos are only interested in personal financial gain. The second article, written by Hutchins, was about zoos improving the care that they give to the animals and that animals now have a much better life than that they would have had in the wild. Laidlaw’s article had many detailed facts and examples, and was very…

abandoned dogs and try to match the pets with new owners. This saves animals who are victims of animal cruelty or natural disasters. They take care of these animals by providing shelter, food, cleaning them, walking the dogs, or cleaning their cages. They also offer veterinary care to the animals so that they can be in good health conditions. These Rescue Centers welcome volunteers who offer to help them in taking care of the animals.
