Banning Animals In Captivity

Animals in captivity should be allowed because they can get healthy. The first reason they get healthy is there are rehabilitation programs. According to The Current, “Rehabilitation programs take ill or injured animals and nurse them to health so that they may be reintroduced back to the wild” ( Should Animals Be Kept In Captivity n. pag.). Rehabilitators learn to recognize and treat many kinds of medical and surgical problems (Duke et al. 97). Wildlife rehabilitation saves lives and returns many animals

People suffer from stress and feel horrible well animals in captivity suffer from stress. Animals are aware to feel things such as boredom and imprisonment. Animals should not be captured nor confined. First of all, animals should be free from zoos because they are stuck in small so-call habitats and could eventually become violent to the public. Animals just don't become violent to the public but they could have strange behaviours such as pacing, rocking, or even self harm in the form of hair pulling, self biting and feather plucking. Also, animals in aquariums and marine parks should be free because they are enclosed in cramped small tanks.Tilikum was a healthy orca before he was captured in Iceland and taken to Florida Sea World. His fin was collapsed because of unnatural environment unfortunately Tilikum was announced dead on January 6, 2017 due to a lung infection of bacterial pneumonia. In addition, circus animals are forced to perform difficult tricks when they should be free. Bears have to balance on balls and elephants standing on two legs are not natural for animals. During circus acts if the animals don't perform the tricks they will whip, muzzle, electric pods, and bullhooks them as a reminder. Imprisoning animals for the public entertainment is not okay. Animals have the right to be free from zoos, aquariums, and circuses.

The second reason animals should not be held in captivity is because the exhibits they live in are too small and not natural to them. Zoos do not provide animals with the proper habitats they need to survive. The habitats are designed to imitate the animal’s natural habitat, but are usually not natural. There are large animals, such as, elephants, that do not have the large space they need. Animals that are in

Although keeping animals in captivity is bad because they don't get to be themselves they should keep animals in zoos or captivity because it helps the species not go extinct, it brings happiness to families that go to the zoo, and zoos bring in enough money to build better exhibits. Even though zoos still have negative impacts on animals lives they should still keep animals in

Is it a good idea to put animals in captivity? This is a very controversial subject. You can find many people on both sides I chose to talk about the positive side about putting animals in captivity. Animals should be able to live in zoos because they live longer, they live in a better environment and they get feed better.

The state of Florida is considering whether or not to ban the captivity of wild animals. Places like Metro Zoo and Sea World would no longer be allowed to have any wild animals.

keeping animals in captivity can have many effects upon the animals, some negative and some positive. An example of the negative impact is the orca whales that are kept in Sea World. Many of the orcas in captivity have collapsed dorsal fins, this is a result of many of the whales being either sick or injured. In zoos many animals develop a condition known as 'zoo chosis' which is similar to dementia, as a result of this many animals show distress when they are in their enclosures and often swim or pace in circles. Many animals in captivation often become anxious or aggressive due to being continually watched by the public and having no space to hide, animals often react this way because to them being watched all the time can be predatory and

Zoos today are inhumane and cruel and should not be allowed in our society. I agree with the statement that zoos are inhumane and should not be kept in captivity for the people’s enjoyment. I believe that it is cruel to hold these animals captive and not let them roam freely like they would in their natural habitat. I also believe that by holding these animals captive, society is taking away the rights of these animals to roam and is inflicting major side effects on these animals physical and mental health. Not only are these animals being held in inadequate conditions, but the effects humans have on them is also cruel and inhumane.

Zoos are terrible for the animals! There shouldn’t be zoos.Why shouldn’t there be zoos you ask, well let's go find out.

Our friend Joel from the op-ed tried to deflect the problems with captivity by including info like 6th mass extinction and other environmental problems. Yes, there are bigger problems in the world, but that doesn't mean that the issues of wild animals in captivity should be swept under the rug. Here are a few basic reasons why I don't support zoos/aquariums anymore (wish I could go more into each point but I can't write on essay in IG -- unless I was being paid ):

First, animals should not be in captivity because zoos don't provide animals with enough space. According to Vegan Peace, it states, “Zoo animals have to spend day after day, week after week, year after year in the exact same enclosure, this makes their

Most children cannot help but jump and squeal in overwhelming joy as their parents drive them to the zoo. Since children continuously observe a diverse, unknown world that nonetheless mesmerizes them, they would not shrug in cold apathy if they saw a large trumpeting grey elephant. As children grow into adults, they recall the moments when their parents walked together with them in Animal Kingdom. Parents take their children to zoos and amusement parks to provide their children an enjoyable experience. Nevertheless, the zoo is also where a few children will discover their greatest passion. A young girl’s fascination with koalas may inspire her to educate a future generation of visitors on the research developed on the effects deforestation have on koalas. Animal activists argue that zoos exploit animals for the sole sake of entertainment, but zoos actually serve a far more fundamental purpose in our society.

It is evident that the state of FL should ban zoos. Animals that are geting caught by zoos are suffering.

In conclusion, animals shouldn't be in captivity. Although zoos can provide benefits for animals such as nutrition and medical services.Animals don't need this benefits because they were born without them. Animals have their own ways to survive. We shouldn't have to put an animal in captivity in order to make research. Scientists can make them in the wild where they can obtain better results. Animals were born free and they should live in freedom. Mother nature has given them instincts to survive in the wild. Humans should not interfere with

Almost every human being has been to a zoo or an aquarium. Everyone has seen how the animals are in small cages and people enjoy watching them not even caring to take into consideration how the animal may feel. But then who cares right? It is fun to go to a zoo and an aquarium and have a family day and spend money at these institutions not caring what is really going on around them. Animals really suffer by being in a captive environment. To be captive means to be confined to only one place, I personally would not like to be confined to one area my whole life. Although some people may argue that zoos save endangered species by placing them in a captive environment, safe from poacher, starvation, and predators. Animals should not be captive. Animals should be free instead of being captive for human enjoyment and profit because animals have rights, animals in captivity suffer from stress, confinement, and boredom, and when zoos become overpopulated some zoos will outright kill the surplus of animals.
