The Zoo Story

Zoos are places where animals are put on displays and where they have to live their entire life. People can visit zoos for money and watch animals like they are in some kind of television show or commercial program that is made for people only. People have to notice that we should not exhibit animals at zoos just for our entertainment. Animals in zoos should have the freedom they deserve and live in the wildlife where they belong. Zoos may be very necessary for endangered species. But, there…

What is wildlife removal and what is considered wildlife? The following is an interview with our local, licensed Wildlife Control Operator. He is a licensed Wildlife Control Operator located in eastern North Carolina but we are finding that the further we humans encroach on the forest and wetlands the more these services are needed throughout the United States of America. Wildlife removal is the business of removing nuisance wildlife in and around residential or commercial structures. Wildlife…

Many people think being a wildlife biologist is a breeze-they get to spend time with animals all day, right? Not quite. Wildlife biologists have to perform an essential job, which isn't just playing with animals. One of their main priorities is to study animals and wildlife. “They study the physical characteristics of animals, animal behaviors, and the impacts humans have on wildlife and natural habitats” (“Zoologists and Wildlife Biologists”). For example, a Wildlife Biologist studies how a…

Should There Be a Law Passed That All Service Animals Can Be Allowed in Public? A man just got tuned down to walk in a restaurant because of his snake that is a non-domestic service animal. Is that really fair? Many people that use service animals suffer with this problem every day. I believe that all service animals should be allowed in public places. If you wonder why, you are about to find out. I believe that non-domestic service animals comfort and help people with disabilities with their…

the world animals are deprived of the amazing life they could live in the wild. They are taken away from their families and natural environments to do tricks and be trapped in cages at the zoo and they are unhappy. Some critics may argue it is easier to keep animals alive when they are being monitored in a zoo or aquarium. These helpless animals are suffering physically and mentally due to their experiences and it must be stopped. To start, animals should not be taken away from their natural…

Have you ever felt so intrigued by the way animals preform in the circus? Did you wonder how they learned to do those amazing tricks? For someone who loves animals as much as I do, it is very displeasing to learn that animals are not doing this for their own enjoyment, but instead being forced to do so for our own enjoyment. First, I will be speaking on the wrong doings of the circuses, in which they use many animals in a very cruel way to make money for themselves. The circus has been the…

while some wild pets are bred in captivity, many are taken from their native habitats. Millions of animals are forced into the exotic pet trade every year for the purpose of becoming someone's pet or entertaining the masses in a circus or roadside zoo. People are enthralled with the idea to own an exotic animal as a pet but as the animal grows up, the owner soon realizes that they can no longer take care of the animal and many people just set them loose in the wild, resulting in disrupting the…

progression, and origin of different types of animals. A zoologist may choose to devote their entire studies to just one breed of animal or they can choose to study multiple, it just depends on what the individual is interested in. Some zoologist work at zoos, taking direct care of the animals, which is the basic idea of this career, that everyone has. However they may also be found working at wildlife reserves studying populations, hunting patterns, learning how to take care of the endangered…

It was here she was able to learn a great deal about animals you don’t usually get to spend a lot of time with; Koalas, Echidnas, and Sugar Gliders just to name a few.

Kari moved as well and was hired as a zookeeper at the San Jose Zoo. She worked as a…

I did not physically go to a museum for this assignment, but I did do the virtual tour of the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. When I started the virtual tour of the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, the Rotunda room is where I first experienced. Seeing only the giant elephant in this room, I moved onto the Mammal Hall. Seeing all of mammals from around the world was very captivating and informative. Of course I know enough about mammals to know which country some of them conquer and…
