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.

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…

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…

But if the animal becomes too big or if becomes too expensive to feed them, some owners will release them into lakes, parks, and even into the woods. The problem with this is even if it looks like there natural enviroment, it’s not because a lot of exotic animals don’t have any natural predators where they’re released, and if they don’t have any natural predators…
