Zoo

You find yourself surrounded by a horde of flesh-eating zombies. You only have time to save one of two people, one a snob, the other a nerd. You know that each have their strengths and weaknesses. So who do you pick and trust with your life? Both snobs and nerds are generally chastised by society. Snobs are hated for their ‘’I think I am better than you attitude’’, and nerds are hated for their inability to relate with ‘’normal people’’. I am of the persuasion that being a nerd is a better…

Survival Behaviors of a Pygmy Marmoset One of the things that differs the pygmy marmoset from other monkey in terms of behavior is their diet. A pygmy marmosets diet consists mostly of tree sap. They use thier teeth to open up the tree then the eat the sap from the inside. Since they are so small this can take them awhile. If their environment doesn’t supply enough sap they will also live of of plants and insects. Survival Behaviors of a Pygmy Marmoset Pt. 2 Another important survival…

(Moosa, 2013) Thus, zoos cannot give the same amount of space animals have in the wild. This applies specifically on the case for the species that roam large distances in their natural habitat such as tigers and lions, which have around 18,000 times less space in zoos than they would in the wild and polar bears have 1,000,000 times less space in zoos. According to an Oxford University study based on 4 decades of observing animals in…

Why is zoo cruelty an important thing to take into consideration? Zoo animals are being taken out of their natural habitats more and more every day. Zoos are going out of their way to do such things. They are having to shoot these animals with a gun or anything they can to get them down and knock them out to get them into their own zoos. These poor animals could be leaving their moms as soon they are born and will never get to see them again.This paper is talking about zoo cruelty because…

For example, the American Zoo and Aquarium Association commissioned a literature review that investigated the efficacy of zoos and aquariums in terms of education which concluded that “little to no systematic research has been conducted on the impacts of visits to zoos and aquariums on visitor conservation knowledge, awareness, affect, or behaviour”. While the findings that are available have shown that zoo-goers hold the prejudices against animals that are consistent…

The way I understand ethical holism is that it focuses not on certain individuals, but rather on the bigger picture. The welfare of the species overall is what matters. If an individual is killed and as a consequence no harm is done to the species itself, then killing can be justified. Maintaining the species is important and crucial in order for our planet’s ecology to prosper and a death of single individual might not seem so significant, unless the species is endangered. I think that’s where…

“Lions and tigers and bears! Oh my!” This quote from The Wizard of Oz, by Frank L. Baum, is a common phase that comes to mind when people think of a zoo. While zoos are exciting for people from age 1 to 100, they aren't always exciting or healthy for the animals. Circuses are the same way exciting for visitors but hell holes for many animals. Animals in zoos and circuses deserve the same rights and protections as animals living in the wild. All animals, not just domestic animals, should be…

In the article,”The Stripes will Survive” by Jacqueline Adams, it tells of a zoo that wanted to keep Siberian tigers safe. So they rescued the tigers and put on an SSP to keep their species alive. “The Zoos Go Wild from No More Dodos” is a moving article written by N.N and T.N, that tells of a gorilla that started off small and with the help of other people and the enclosure they made him it grew to be a giant and happy silverback gorilla. “Our Beautiful Macaws and Why They Need Enrichment” is…

crumbled in the hands of Nazi leaders. The Polish were disposed through the hands of Nazis, weather through concentration camps or the bombing of the Warsaw Zoo. Through courage, luck and remarkable individuals did many survive and portray their Holocaust narrative perspectives. Antonina Zabinski was one of those survivals that assisted refuges in her zoo. The Zabinskis weren’t forgotten due to their nobility to others in desperation both humans and animals. Antoninas heroism protected…
