Imagine a person spending their entire life kept in a cage -- away from home, where they are meant to be. Animals in zoos and circuses should not be held captive. Notable reasons why I believe animal captivity is wrong are due to the size and limitations of the living areas these animals are in, the danger these animals possess to humans, and because they are taken from the wild at an early age. Every day, all around the world, animals are held captive under no free will, and every one of those…

anti cruelty measures for animals, compared to other developed countries. Critics of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) say that it doesn't do much because enforcement is poor, and there is little protection for animals. In addition, AWA exempts some circuses from these laws (“Entertainment Animals”). The American federal laws are vague and do not cover all the levels of cruelty. If an abuser is charged, under federal laws they can only be charged civilly which means fines, confiscating of animals,…

Wildlife in Captivity Throughout the years, we have been made to believe that wildlife in entertainment is fascinating. However, what we do not know, is the way these animals are being treated behind closed doors. Since 1959, SeaWorld has made it seem, as if it is an incredible place for their marine animals. Though, what SeaWorld does not advertise, is how these animals have been captured by SeaWorld’s own poachers. Now SeaWorld is not the only entertainment park that exploits their wild…
