Hiss! As the Burmese Python slithers through the Marsh.The presence of the Burmese Python is changing the Everglades drastically.These snakes are changing the Everglades drastically as people get them as a pet and then don’t want them anymore so they release them into the wild, Most species are going extinct or near extinct because the pythons don’t have a natural predator so they eat and shrink the population of their food, and shrinking the population one Python at a time. Do you think that…

Humans over the years have taken a great interest in these animals because of that and one way to learn about these animals is going to a local zoo to see how these animals live, act and behave on a day to day basic and also give insight as to where humans get certain behavioral traits. On the 18th of February I had the privilege to visit the Oakland zoo, and while I was there able to observe to different primate species and learn more about their day to day lives and also observe what captivity…

(The Wildcat Sanctuary). These breeders keep these animal in tiny filthily cages without the proper diet and without any veterinary care. The breeders often do not care who they are selling these tigers and lions to. They often sell to fur farms and zoos at live auctions. During the auction the…

"Jails and prisons are designed to break human beings, to convert the population into specimens in a zoo - obedient to our keepers, but dangerous to each other." (Davis BrainyQuote.com) "Poor people, people of color - especially are much more likely to be found in prison than in institutions of higher education."(Davis, BrainyQuote.com) These two quotes, both by the Afro-American civil-right activist, philosopher, human scientist and author Angela…

Geographic isolation is a form and one of the components that lead to reproductive isolation that refers to a population of animals, plants, or other organisms that are separated from combining genes with other organisms of the same species. This kind of isolation can have resulted from either a coincidence or an accident. The main components of geographical isolation are isolation by distance, isolation by separation, isolation by barriers, and isolation by an event. One of the main examples…

violence and brutality for little reason. These animals live in substandard conditions where having the freedom of choice for anything is a prerogative and not a right. Hundreds of thousands of animals if not millions are kept in zoos alone, with 5000 being just in Canadian zoos. Humans…

should live in any type of captivity. Elephants are meant to live where they did way before we were even on this planet. We decided to come into their home and destroy it, but the few people who care take them out of their homes into captivity. Yes some Zoos release the animals when they are ready to go back into the wild, but most of them just do it for the money. They do so they can get money from people seeing the animals. Have you ever thought about how bored the animals that are in their…

place that I will want to visit most is the San Diego zoo. This is a zoo that was opened in San Diego in 1915 and as such it has been into existence for a very long time. The zoo has different types of wildlife that both local and international tourists can be able to see. There are different things that I will want to do when I visit this zoo and I am sure that many good things will happen in the course of my visit. When I visit San Diego zoo, the first thing that I will want to do is go…

Animals have historically been used as beasts of burden, from the lions that performed at the Coliseum to the elephants of the Ringling Brothers Circus that would execute spectacular stunts. Most people go to circuses because they “love animals”, and have no idea about what happens behind the scenes. But the sad truth is that animal performers are not given five-star treatment like human entertainers, but rather are treated inhumanely. Animals are not performers, spectacles to gawk at, or circus…

Zoos Did you know that most zoos are treating animals vary badly? Well some people believe that zoos are very good to the animals. I disagree because the zoos use the animals for selfish gains, ill handling of animals and also suiravel of the fittest. In my opinion animals should not be held captivity because most of the animals there can change to sick and also are upset for the people who see them in the zoos. To begin zoos often just want make money off the animals by not paying…
