Do controlled environments provide a healthy lifestyle for animals living in them? Do they comfort the animals that consider these environments their home? Are animals better off left in the wild than cared for in these environments? Zoos and nature parks alike have been a center of entertainment for many years. In the past, animals of these controlled environments were poorly treated and tended to without a care; they were just there for show and to collect profits. Many zoos and nature parks…
There are many people in this world who still struggle day-to-day for food and their living expenses. Even in the developed countries like Canada and the United States, many people live under the poverty. Some of those people live in the food desert.

Controls as used in…
