Have u ever been to the Zoo and wondered if it was bad or not?Ever since a young kid i have been to the zoo multiple times, I never thought bad about it tell recently. At the zoo the eagles were yelling and trying to fly away and the big animals don't have much room to run around, from the looks of it, it seems pretty bad. I think keeping animals in a controlled environment is bad. I think we should reduce the amount of animal captivity. Controlled animal facilities are bad because there's not…

Humans make several choices a day whether it’s when to eat, what to eat, who to speak with and so on. Unlike humans, animals in captivity have little to no choices in their daily lives because most of their alternatives are made for them by their human caretakers. Due to the lack of control, animals in captivity may develop learned helplessness. This phenomenon learned helplessness is when a person, or a nonhuman ape, internalizes the idea that his or her actions have no effect on the…

As I proceeded to enter the Santa Fe Student Run Zoo, I expected it to be like any other zoo, and honestly it was. Similarly, it had a wide range of adorable, scaly, and furry animals to observe and admire. They had anything from red ruffed lemurs to matschie’s tree kangaroos. Along with providing the public a great place to spend time and learn, they also have a purpose for being student run and open to the public. While, this zoo was partially created for the public’s enjoyment is was majorly…

Were you aware that most zoos used to only have animals people have heard about but not seen? Mostly big and impressive species, like lions. We should have zoos because they keep animals safe and entertain and inform people about the animals. But, the animals are not learning what they need to learn to survive the wild. First and foremost, some animals are threatened in the wild. Those animals are kept perfectly safe in zoos. The animals have medical care and are well-fed. As well as having…

For many decades, the zoo has been a place that mesmerized both 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…

Around the world animals are held against their free will. They are tortured and deprived of having a life in the wild that is natural for them. Even though zoos, aquariums, and other animal holding facilities are seen as safe havens that provide protection for animals from predators, global warming, deforestation, and extinction, they are still not suitable dwelling places for them. Being raised naturally in the wild as opposed to in captivity provides animals with many benefits such as low…

Wildlife trafficking has been a major problem in every country nowadays; helpless animals were taken from their habitats, which was being bought and sold. Unfortunately, Latin America is now being another epicenter of exotic animals’ illegal trade. According to Huffington Post, wildlife trafficking transit chains in Latin America are complex, secret and as diverse like just any common issues that targets animal species. The poachers will illegally bring the poor creatures to a secret place…

Exotic Animals As Pets “There are more tigers kept as pets in the United States than roam free in the wild”(CNN). Keeping these large cats as pets has become a large business in which tiger and lion cubs are brought to the United States to be held by the public so that they can get a picture with these exotic animals.Once the cubs reach twelve weeks old they are sold to anyone who wants them. “These animals are then kept in confined cages in backyards, garages and basements because the…

This paper is all about alpacas! In this paper you will learn about their habitat which is mainly on farms, what you need to raise them, and what they are used for. I think that alpacas are the coolest farm animal because they have really cool hair and can sometimes even have a little afro going on! You will learn all about these three topics in my paper. They are originally from Peru, but in 1984 they were bought in by plains and large ships, but now they are banned from being brought into the…
