Prison And Zoo System

The article claims that some sort of registry needs to be established. For instance, an abuser could ignore their restrictions after jail time, go to another state, and easily obtain more animals, since shelters have no notice of their past abuse. Also, abusing animals can be linked to many other crimes, such as crimes involving violence, drugs, and property, domestic violence, sex offenses, or even murder. For example, they discussed how after an investigation, serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer, was found guilty of abusing animals, which led up to his vicious acts against humans.

The documentary Blackfish revealed to many people the negative effects of captivity on orcas at SeaWorld. Although the documentary focused on orcas, it could be possible to relate SeaWorld’s revealed torture of orcas to animals that are held in captivity at zoos in certain ways. Neither SeaWorld nor zoos should be allowed to hold animals captive at the expense of the animals’ well-being. Instead, institutions such as zoos should only hold animals in captivity when it helps the animals. Most zoos however do cause many animals to suffer, which should not be allowed in society.

It isn't natural for animals to be kept in small cages they are meant to be free in their natural habitat. The animals won't live to their full lifespan they will suffer unlike in the

There isn’t a morally decent person on earth who wouldn’t cringe in revulsion at this heinous crime. Yet these are probably the same cheering spectators who gladly spend their money watching imprisoned creatures perform for their amusement. This practice of capturing large, intelligent animals and holding them in small, enclosed “habitats” for our benefit is barbaric and

Not only does this relate to animals situation but it is their situation. They are forced onto farms where they are forced to work relentlessly and are whipped and punished to no extent when they don’t perform. Not all farms are like this, local farms are usually better treating to their animals, however large corporations that produce mass amounts of milk and animal foods definitely do this, and anyone could even see all the torture with a simple google search. The sad reality is something humans never seem to see yet is right in front of America the whole time; it never occurred to any human to open our eyes.

Zoos are home to many animals in captivity which they are different from their natural habitat. Many animals suffer when they are in captivity because the zoos are very different from their natural habitat for example some zoos do not have places for relaxation of animals or the foods are different also many animal live alone.

1) According to the article, prison-based animal programs could bring a new meaning. What was the article referring to? The article goes into detail on how these programs can provide new meanings to restorative justice, where prisoners simultaneously gain new skills as they give back to the community. They are not only gaining a friend but they are learning how to care and train for these animals. The purpose of these programs is to allow the inmates to train animals and give them to the community. For example maybe a nursing home would adopt an animal to help with stress relief for the individuals who are living in nursing homes, training service dogs, or they may be dogs that training to become future canines. This also helps the inmates by improving areas like honest, empathy, nurturing, self-confidence, and pride of accomplishment.

Zoos, rehabilitation institutions, and many other environmental centers provide opportunities for the public to witness animals that cannot be seen on a daily basis. Whether to keep animals in captivity is morally hard to decide, especially for me personally. In the essay, “Against Zoos,” by Dale Jamieson, he writes about the positives zoos provide, and then reiterates them; making positives turn into negatives. Jamieson makes statements about humans being superior over animals, and how we should not be thinking that we are better. We tend to take a lead role over other species, because of our “higher intelligence.” That should not mean that we treat wildlife as if they are something lower than us. In more ways than one, we as humans are

You look out into the crowd through the bars. Heaving, sniffing, and wondering why on earth you remain stuck in this mysterious place called a zoo. Animals around the country and around the world persist to be trapped behind bars! How would you like every need being cared for by highly skilled professionals? Animals should be roughing it in the wild, where they belong. As a well-to-do topic of the hippies and high society, I who have been well informed by multiple experts around the world, will attempt to expose this ceaseless problem and propose a solution. Without a doubt, this self-centered world is full of “good samaritans” who in an attempt to manufacture splendid feelings , ignore all facts and statistics along the way. Of course, by these “good samaritans”, I mean the zookeepers and conversationalists who attempting to try and save these animals by keeping them imprisoned.

You guys may have other arguments like what it someone's irresponsible and doesn’t take care of them properly. Well what we should do is really test and make sure these people are trustworthy enough to have these animals. People should see how they keep them locked up. If they give them the correct amount of food and water which these animals need. We put them to the ultimate test. These people will really be put to the test to have these animals.

To answer this complex question, philosophy professor Bryan Norton poses some additional concerns relevant to this issue. He notes that if in fact keeping these animals in captivity is ethical, then we must also discuss what specifically humans want to conserve (Norton 15). Is it limited just to animal species, or can it extend to populations, ecosystems, and natural processes? If we simply identify wild animals, then we must ask ourselves if we are preserving a wild species if the animals themselves are forced to spend their lives in captivity? He mentions a common analogy used among zoo professionals who refer themselves to a modern day Noah’s ark, preserving each species by removing individuals for conservation. If zoos represent a sanctuary from extinction, then we must also address if there will ever be a natural habitat to reintroduce the animals into, or if they be forced to remain on the zoos “Ark” indefinitely (Norton 16). Though the work of various ethical scholars and philosophers may not be able to provide a concrete answer to all of the respective questions, I will discuss the concept of reintroduction when analyzing the third argument of this essay.

The zoo is packed with children, running everywhere. They laugh and smile as they watch the animals at the zoo sleep. What these children do not realize is that these animals are dying on the inside. Animals that live at the zoo are extremely depressed. These animals can suffer severe psychological disorders from being out of their natural environment. But others argue that keeping these animals in captivity will help keep endangered species alive. However, the disadvantages of keeping animals in captivity are becoming more and more serious, and more people are beginning to believe that animals should not be held captive. Animals should not be kept in captivity because of the negative impact it can have

Each year, the most extreme cases of animal abuse receive media attention. Yet, the animal cruelty problem is more widespread than is reported in the media. Animal abuse and neglect is a nationwide issue, affecting thousands of animals nationwide. Cruelty to animals is defined as the infliction of physical pain, suffering or death on an animal, beyond what is necessary. There is a need to stop abusers from acting in such a horrific manner–preventing the neglect and suffering of the animals. What causes animal abusers to act in such a cruel way towards animals? How are cases of animal abuse being managed, and how should cases be handled? Finally, does the status of animals in society contribute to the rate of their abuse?

Have you ever thought what it was like in prison? Well zoos are like prison for animals

scientist stated, “Life in a cage is no life at all” (PETA). So why, as humans, do we find it acceptable to put them through all this suffering?
