Denver Zoo

On their way to move to Canada on a cargo ship with his family and his family’s zoo animals the ship sinks and all the survivors are Pi, a hyena, an orangutan named Orange Juice, a zebra, and a tiger. As the days pass, little by little the animals die and/or eat each other until the only survivors are Pi and the tiger. They…

Orcas in the wild swim up to 100 miles every day, in a zoo they are locked into a small cement box. Polar bears have evolved to live in hundreds to thousands of square kilometers and are forced to live in zoos millions of times smaller than the size of their natural home. This shows just a glimpse of how awful zoos are for wild animals who should be out roaming in their natural home for miles upon miles, only stopping when they are tired. In zoos, the animals are confined to the walls humans put…

Over the years, Disney has made many attempts of telling the stories of the otherwise unknown culture. However, in both The Lion King (1994) and Pocahontas (1995), for example, Disney poorly represented the African and Native American cultures for entertainment and monetary profit. The Lion King is the western interpretation of African culture represented by jungle animals fighting against each other for power, mirroring the apartheid becoming an anarchy. Pocahontas is the story of the British…

I have gone to the zoo four times and I have enjoyed being there. I like to see how the animals live. My favorite animal is the giraffe. I love them. I think they are fascinating. I like to see them but I have never had a pet because I think that they need much care. My son often tells me he wants to have a dog. I hope some day I can give one to him and that he will take care of his pet himself. In my family, everyone likes to see animals. We visit the zoo, Monterey Bay Aquarium, or watch TV…

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? Would you ever feel at ease if suddenly you were taken away from your family knowing that you could never see them again until the end of time? And just imagine, how would it feel like to be embarrassed in front of hundreds if not thousands of people doing tricks that could bring harm to your body? Certainly never we…

Many people think zoos are bad for animals and think it is cruel, but they do not know the truth. Zoos help prevent extinction, support endangered animals, educate the public, and help save animals in bad conditions. Zoos benefit the lives of animals and their population. Zoos help prevent extinction of species. Earth is currently in a global extinction crisis. Almost one fourth of all known mammals are threatened with extinction. The percentage is even higher for invertebrates, over a third…

Are zoos, aquariums & marine parks a positive or negative impact on the planet’s animals and community? I think zoos, aquariums & marine parks have a positive impact because they provide shelter, food and health care for animals that would not be able to survive out in the wild otherwise. Aquariums, zoos & marine parks can help bring the population of an endangered species up by breeding the endangered species because the breeding conditions in the ocean can be hard to reproduce in. Also zoos…

Orcas in captivity? No way. We need to stop the orcas in captivity because it’s not healthy for them, they are abused and because there is not enough space for them to swim around in. Orcas are one of the most intelligent animals on the planet and where are they? In captivity that’s right, the smartest animal is used for our amusement. You may think that the orcas get taken care of, and are properly fed, but they are not. Also when you read all this stuff on orcas killing humans no one knows the…
