contrastive places that I came across in which animal captivity is proceeded, wildlife preservation zoos are the most popular, and least considered as a confinement of animal freedom. Thousands of people visit zoos daily but rarely give a thought to the miserable lives that animals have to spend stagnating and sleeping, due to the less spacious and artificial residences provided. Some present enclosures in zoos have been changed to natural barriers, instead of iron bars. Yet the space that the zookeepers

Have you ever gone to the zoo and wondered, “What is that animal thinking about? What really is goes on when we are aren’t here staring at them for hours?” The perception people have of modern day zoos is that they are there to save species, protect them from the real world, and just think they are happy as ever. Well if one were to sit down and do some research they would see that they have some much more ethical questions to ask themselves next time they walked into a zoo. But one thing one may not

Captivity is not always bad. Animals also enjoy captivity because they are always fed properly. Animals usually have interaction with other animals and people. I totally understand why people would not support captivity as well. The circus is a prime example of animals being in captivity and not being treated well. In circuses they abuse the animals and don’t feed them properly. Having animals in jump through hoops and fire is not what they were made to do . God made animals to be happy and healthy

56 years but in captivity they live about 16 years. Animals that are captivity or zoos do not enjoy being there. Animals should not be kept in captivity. Zoos aren’t the best place for endangered wild animals.” Zoos and wildlife parks almost always favor big, “popular” animals while ignoring smaller animals who need protection. Plus, keeping animals in cages does nothing to help their species in the wild. If zoos really wanted to save animals from extinction, they would be helping protect animals’

what it is like for a vet tech to work in a zoo (and hopefully other wildlife). I would love to make a career out of working with animals you would not normally see every day. There is not a particular species I am interested in focusing on yet, but wildlife (caged or not) and exotic pets seems more interesting than the typical small and large animals. It is long road ahead to become a vet tech and (perform specialty, or have the ability to) work in a zoo, but I am willing to make the commitment. The

Zoos Are the Problem People often find themselves looking at and talking to their pets, but all too often their little friend doesn’t talk back, or at least not in a comprehendible manner. They could be full of joy or in deep depression caused by their captivity. In all reality, one can never truly understand these animals and what they feel and think; one can only guess. In the poem “Panther,” Rainer Rilke makes her guess pertaining to what an animal feels in captivity in his piece about a panther

trap hole and sprained my ankle. Even with all the persuading and begging, my parents would not allow me to stay at home with our pet dog Zheng. So I decided to make the best of it and just tag along hoping nothing bad will happen to me. The first day in Singapore was the usual boring activities which my mom and two sisters defined as fun. For five hours, I had to tag along and give opinions on clothing and jewelry they tried on. Other than looking at the tons and tons of pretty women wearing very

pound African elephant that on average is estimated to walk a distance of 30 miles every single day (Neyman 1). Zoos are unable to provide a vast amount of space to fit animal needs. Due to the facility being unable to meet Aladdin's need to have an abundance in space he can develop physical and emotional problems. Catherine Doyle, director of the elephant campaign For In Defence of Animals, stated that, "Zoos are incapable of providing the space and natural conditions that elephants need, If they can’t
