Enclosure

Prozac is a well-known antidepressant and is usually paired with other medications to combat depression or anxiety. The fact that captivity has lead to a need for such extreme measures to keep their animals from bashing their heads against their enclosure wall, which has been done before, is appalling. Obviously if these creatures are so miserable in captivity, it is time for a change. Many animals in zoos today also suffer from a condition where they exhibit repetitive, or obsessive behaviors,…

were postponed for over one week while Colonel Miller located enough proper rope for the required nooses. In full view of these gallows, stood a heavily guarded enclosure that housed the 264 prisoners having escaped them. Rumors were moving around the compound that secret societies or vigilante groups were forming to rush this enclosure and ‘take matters into their own hands.’ Colonel Miller took these rumors seriously and issued orders that decreed. “the sale, tender gift or use of all…

window, the pups immediately made personal connections to me and called out for my attention. In particular, one of the Pit Bull mixes made a desperate plea for me to simply move over to her enclosure and acknowledge her presence. She would bark, yelp, and stand on her hind legs to look out of her enclosure in search of a moment of human interaction. Almost as soon as I came over to see the Pit Bull, she would calm down, wag her tail, and sit, completely content with me simply looking at her,…

by humans. They could see them hunt for their food not just have them given to them which is not as exciting as watching them hunt for their food. The zoos do keep the animals safe and look after them but is it really worth the animals being in enclosures and people around looking at them and treating them. Does the safety of the animals from predators and sickness outweigh the freedom of the…

On May 28, 2016 at the Cincinnati Zoo, a young boy fell into a gorilla’s cage. The gorilla, Harambe, dragged the boy through the river in his pen. In attempt to help the child, the zoo considered tranquilizing Harambe, but it was not a realistic option. The drug would take a significant amount of time to affect the gorilla, and no one would be able to anticipate how Harambe would act. It could have caused the child to be in even greater danger. Therefore, Harambe was killed. Zoos are popular…

stuck in the wild with her bonobo named Otto. All of the problems that Sophie faced during this time made her stronger as a person. At one point, Sophie had to escape the bonobo enclosure and get inside the sanctuary before the kata-kata (dangerous war soldiers) caught up and captured her. The electric fence of the enclosure turned off, which meant the kata-kata could now get in. She barely managed to do it, but she ended up successfully escaping at the very last second. She did this by quickly…

stable government for the bourgeois. However, the advancement of new manufacturing techniques led to rural poverty. Proletarians were effected by the enclosure movement. This system was people being pushed off land to get rid off the common land and create one big farm for industrial purposes. This is the process of rationalizing land use. The enclosure movement forced people into cities to find jobs in industrial factories. To make a living those had to sell their labor also known Modern…

zoos can not provide enough sufficient space for the animals to live in. Where in the wild they would have the whole jungle or safari to roam they are all cramped into a tiny living space. The one good thing about keeping them in these cages or enclosures is us, the people, can see them and better understand how they react and interact. Though there is a better way to do so, this one is more convenient to us. Another reason is, animals die prematurely in zoos. Elephants die 3 times faster in…
