People think that animals want to be in zoos, but they really do not. In some zoos the owners or zookeepers see how the environment is making the animals feel bad or good and they try to change it by giving the animals a similar habitat to where they came from. All three stories “The Stripes Will Survive”, “The Zoos Go Wild”, and “Our Beautiful Macaws and Why They Need Enrichment” deal with protecting animals but they all do so in different ways.

When people think of a zoos they are to think about all the cool animals and their trainer doing tricks with them right? No, that is totally wrong. Most of the zoos don’t even care about the animals, all they care about is their paycheck and more money. Zoos usually want babies in the zoo because that is what people are attracted to more. When they grow up and aren’t as cute they are sold to other places for big money. The reason why they would have to sell them is because when they are smaller they attract more attention and make them more money. When they grow up they aren’t as playful and enjoying to watch so they sell them to get money to get other baby animals so they can make more money.

Firstly, it was a good idea to stay in the zoo because of the stress that traveling would have on the animals. Communications director ,Ron Magill, says in the article that, “the stress of evacuating alone can be enough to kill an animal.” He is saying that from of animals the stress of new places and going to a new place would be too much for them to half and possible kill them. This is a perfect reason to not move the animals why cause extra stress in their lives that they will already have by being contented during a hurricane.

I never really liked the idea of zoos. Younger me thought that zoos were the epitome of animal cruelty; encapsulation of creatures was an evil decision in my eyes. This being said, I felt more than a tad bit hypocritical at the twinge of excitement I experienced after learning about the volunteer program at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium. Despite my pervious assumptions, I knew that this was an opportunity I just couldn’t pass up. I applied to work alongside the

Background Info: Zoos in American have changed a lot over the years, but they have not made the full transition to where they should be yet.

Walt Elias Disney was born December 5, 1901 in Chicago, Illinois, but moved shortly after his birth to the Disney family farm in Marceline, Missouri and shortly after he moved to Kansas City. He was too young to remember Marceline, so he considered Kansas his home.He had three brothers and a sister who were raised by their parents Elias and Flora Disney. He grew up a regular kid; disliked school work and loved to play. Early in his life, Walt started drawing and would often draw rather than do his homework. He even sold cute, little sketches to the neighbors when he was seven years old.

The sun was shining, the sky was spotted with clouds, and the wind was whistling as it passed through the trees. Overall, it was the perfect day to visit the zoo. Smiling, happy children bounded beside me as I walked underneath the large, blue and yellow sign announcing “The Colorado Zoo.” As I walked onto the sidewalk, I looked out over the “habitats.” The big, colorful signs advertising the exotic animals “brought from all over the world!” Animals that were taken from their home, taken from their habitats, and taken to a world where they are put on display. Animals who are forced to live out their lives in zoos in unhealthy, degrading, and devastating ways.
