Persuasive Essay

Zoos should be focusing on animals that already exist within their program. Genetic diversity is important as zoos must do the job of natural selection or risk an extinction of an entire species. This process of natural selection should be revisited as it causes much uprising and is not withholding the promise of protection. To ensure that generations live and grow, disease free, new genes must be introduced. Without these genes the outcome would be a small and likely corrupted gene pool. In my personal opinion, I understand the need of genetic diversity within species as it prevents many diseases. However, I feel that it is inappropriate for zoos to euthanise healthy animals that may interfere with the genetic diversity. Such animals need to be either neutered or relocated, even if it is not transferred to another zoological park but to a game park or national

This provides a quick glance of how the town interpreted the giraffe for their first time. As the story progresses, the giraffe starts to bleach into the town and tries to survive. As a creature of that size, it would need a suitable shelter, food supply and also care, but the town’s people start too frantic and decide to kill it. This is clear through the

The boy is safe. Isn’t that what we wanted? But in return a gorilla a part of an endangered species is now dead. The zoo took many precautions so things like these wouldn’t happen. But it did. Should the parents have watched their son a little closer? Should the zookeepers have dealt with this in a different manner? I think that what’s done is done but for future mishaps, situations like these need to be dealt with

Since their very beginnings, zoo’s around the world have been at the forefront of ethical debates. Animal ethicists, animal liberationists and proponents of the land ethic raise considerable questions about the nature of zoos in a moral and ethical context. Drawing on animal rights claims, the questionable moral status of animals and the land ethic, this essay seeks to argue that zoo’s; a place in which wild animal’s are held in captivity, are inherently unethical. Though animal liberationists tend to include domesticated animals and agriculturally farmed animals, the scope of this essay will focus solely on the ethics of zoo’s and those animals within. Citing experts in the animal ethics

Being an athletes is one of the best-paid jobs on Earth. Being that they are paid so much the cost for the consumer is very high. The prices of tickets and sports memorabilia have been steadily rising over the years. The average ticket prices for the NHL, MLB, NBA and NFL all rose 5% to 10% this year, according to Jon Greenberg, executive editor of Team Marketing Report. (Mihoces).

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.

The next morning, another zoo was scheduled to dissect a young lion and made it a part of their “animals inside out”. “Euthanizing” was their reason to control population. But the funny thing is that neither had to dissected a mammal larger than a rat. In 2014 not that long after Marius the giraffe was shot at the previous zoo. A British zoo professional had a talk with Bengt Holst the zoo’s scientific director. The professor asked Holst “What the fuck were you thinking?”. Zoo directors in the U.S. and Europe have a job with other unknown employs. Just to discuss with people who run the amusement parks and art

Many people have expressed their anger for this unfortunate incident. This issue is very controversial for the zoo and the parents. The zoo claims that they did not have the option to tranquilize the gorilla instead, which would have spared the life of Harambe. There was also a large amount of accusations thrown

The topic of zoos and whether or not they’re humane have quickly become one of the biggest controversial topics in the past twenty years. There is not much of a ‘middle’ perspective in this debate, rather people tend to lie on two completely opposite ends of the spectrum when displaying their beliefs pertaining to the zoo debate. I chose to research this topic because though I have strong beliefs, I think that, on this matter specifically, people often jump to a certain side without any prior research or actual education on the subject. I think that it’s important to understand both sides of the argument of zoos before sustaining a side. Another reason why I chose this topic was to moreso educate myself and to make sure that the knowledge I

The state of Florida should ban the animals in captivity because they are miserable . The animals are kept in a small cage without food or water most of the time and the exhibits are fake they are made for the people and not for the safety of the animals. Alsothe animals can't migrate like how their supposed to in the wild. This was stated in ''Zoos:Myth and Reality'' by Rob Laidlaw. Also in ''Danish Zoo Kills Healthy Giraffe, Feeds Body to Lions'' by Bharati Naik and Marie Louise Gumuchian stated that zoos kill Giraffes to stop them from breeding in the zoos and

There are flaws in the measurement for animal welfare in zoos. According to Dita Wickins-Drazilová “the usual criteria for measuring for measuring animal welfare in zoos are physical health, long life, and reproduction” (Wickins-Drazilová). There are more factors of animal welfare than the usual criteria. Many zoos claim to have healthy animals that live long lives and reproduce, but that is not merely sufficient enough for proof of good care. A long life in suffering, for example, is not a great way to live, and it is possible for animals to live long

Now there are modern zoos in almost every city in the world that boasts different arrays of animals. With all these different zoos around the world, we see different approaches on how these animals are treated and what they are subjected to.

Now we question, who is truly responsible for this tragedy? Some would say it was the fault of the zoo for not having the proper security and protection, and that the zoo should 've catered to parents and families. But the fact is that the zoo barriers had been set in place and had done their job effectively for years. And the zoo

Having escaped rule from a tyrannical British government, the United States was founded on ideals of freedom and equality for all people. These fantasies of universal egalitarianism turned out to be merely that: fantasies. American history is full of stories of the oppressed struggling to get the rights they deserve and of the controversy over these issues that consequently ensues. “The Hypocrisy of American Slavery” by Frederick Douglass and “We Shall Overcome” by Lyndon B. Johnson are two speeches made confronting two of these issues. Douglass’s speech, delivered in 1852, condemns the institution of slavery and maintains that slaves are men and are therefore entitled to freedom. Johnson’s speech, on the other hand, was written in 1965 and discussed the civil rights movement. In it, he implored local governments to allow all American citizens, regardless of race, to vote. Despite the significant gap in time between these two addresses, both speakers use similar persuasive techniques, including ethos, pathos, and parallelism, to convince their audience that change needs to be implemented in America.
