Human extinction

for this animal. Does he enjoy inhabiting this place? How does he compare to his wildlife counterpart? Is it just and ethical to keep him here?

Operant conditioning is a type of learning in which a person modifies their behavior through positive and negative consequences, or as a result of positive and negative reinforcement. Unlike classical conditioning where behaviors are reflexive and involuntary, operant conditioning is a voluntary behavior. In 1905, Edward L.

Keep Zoo’s! Between 200 and 2,000 animal extinctions occur every year. I believe that animals should stay in zoos. Animals should stay in zoos because they wouldn't have to worry about getting killed and they will always get food.

One of the traits Kangaroos have is a 324-degree field of vision with 25-degree overlap. This allows for them to see in almost all directions allowing for Kangaroos to have higher chances of survival because it allows them to see possible predators before they arrive.

It’s not just the big cats, poisonous snakes, and chimpanzees that can be harmful-even smaller exotic pets can cause serious injuries. Exotic pets can also spread diseases to humans. In addition, many exotic pets end up on the loose in the wild. Out on their own, these exotic animals can be a further danger to the public, and even to the environment” (Lewis).

Pi was stranded in what seemed to be a hopeless situation with not much more than his faith, a tiger, and his will to live. In this novel as well as in normal human life faith is a very important aspect of people's lives. For Pi this was evidenced in his time stranded on the boat with a 450 pound bengal tiger. At the end of the novel however the reader is brought to a question, is the tiger real or is he…

This makes their lives worse little does everyone know they can’t live the same and make a living. Zoos provide unnatural habitats for the animals.
