Zoo

Wild animals are keeping in captivity for different reasons and in different places like zoos, circus and for researches. In my opinion, I am not like animals keeping in captivity for any reason because they are also living things like us. Animals kept in captivity are like a good family outing to some people but for others, it is like an animal is a cell of prison. The discussion of whether or not animals should be held in captivity is one that will not stop. The discussions go both ways. I…

According to Posta Beth, Robert Huber, and Donald E. III Moore in “The Effects of Housing on Zoo Elephant Behavior: A Quantitative Case Study of Diurnal and Seasonal Variation” an eighteen-month study in 2008, of each zoo in the United Kingdom, revealed several negative indicators of obesity and lameness in elephants. Furthermore, elephants are not pressured to search out their own food and water in captivity…

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…

Animals In Captivity I’d say most us have been to a zoo or an aquarium right? I’m sure all of you were amazed and captivated by all the exotic animals that the park had to offer. But I’m sure most of you don’t realize that these animals are basically given the same amount of rights as prisoners. These animals are stripped away from their natural habitats and are put into enclosed areas where they are limited to things that are important and natural to them such as running, roaming, flying,…

Throughout the world, there are 230 accredited zoos and aquariums in nine different countries (Zoo and Aquarium Statistics, 2017). A safe assumption is that most people have been to a zoo at least once in their lifetime. With this being said, one of the trending topics in today’s world is if these zoos are helpful or harmful to animal’s well-being. One of the recent events that have occurred in sparking this debate happened in 2016 at the Cincinnati Zoo, where a three-year-old boy slipped…

Ralph Woodley and his son Harvey went to visit the local zoo. After spending few hours there visiting the various exhibits, they decided to visit one final exhibit building. Although this building looked like all the rest at the zoo, it was set apart from the majority. Upon walking up to the building, they spotted a large dog that seemed friendly at first and it nuzzled them. In a playful manner, the son made a snowball to throw at his father, who ducked and inadvertently the dog got hit. This…

Zoo, you Ruined my Life! Can you imagine living your whole life in a tiny cage, not being able to play with your friends or walk around? You’re separated from your family, all alone in an unfamiliar place. Almost everyday, a loud crowd of humans surround you, taking pictures and staring at you. Do you think that’s fun? No! Well, that’s life for many poor animals in zoos. Many oppose captivity in zoos, because the animals have a tremendous chance of going crazy, zoos aren’t educational as they…

that zoos are an important part of animals conservation as they believe sanctuaries in animal's native habitat would bring more positive results as animals suffer from the constant human presence and lack of space. Others argue that zoos provide animals with even better conditions than in the wild and that without zoos many conservation programs would not exist so that for endangered species it is better to live in captivity than become extinct. Both opinions can exist as there are many zoos in…

A 18 month giraffe was healthy and living at the Copenhagen zoo. He was given his favorite meal of rye bread by his keeper. His keeper lured him away from the other group of giraffes. The giraffe was hungry so he followed him to get his favorite treat. He bend down his long neck to take the rye bread from the keeper’s hand. Once he bends down, he was shot in the head by a vet in front of a large crowing, including fascinated-looking child. He was useless for breeding due to his genes being too…
