The Captivity Of Wild Animals

For one thing, many animals in captivity are animals that were found sick or injured, and are being nursed back to health. Danielle Pucillo, a previous volunteer at a zoo, states, “the zoo where I volunteered rehabilitated various birds of prey,

As a child, many people would often go to the zoo or to the circus and see animals in real life. In circuses, animals would often perform tricks and stunts, dazzling the audience. In the zoo, people would often see animals in their native habitat, or what looks like it. Children were mainly amazed with the animals and were always exited to go see the animals. As the years go by, they start to realize that some of the animals are suffering and are being mistreated, especially in circuses. They see that the animals in zoos are depressed and lonely and the animals in the circuses are chained up. What is worse is that animals in laboratories are often treated very poorly; more poorly than what Americans treat prisoners and refugees. There have been many debates on whether animals should be held in captivity. Some groups believe that animals should not be held in captivity because they have the same capacities as humans. They believe that animals can feel emotion and have a sense of morality. Animals in captivity are deprived of their natural habitat and their instincts. Animals raised in captivity tend to rely more on humans compared to animals raised in the wild. They also believe zookeepers and trainers are putting themselves at risk when taking care of the animals. There have been many incidents including the death of trainers by animals, one highlighted by the movie “Blackfish” by director Gabriela Cowperthwaite. There are others who believe that putting animals in captivity is beneficial for not only the animal, but for humans as well. Humans get more jobs if more animals are put into captivity because there is an increase in the amount of people needed. Another benefit of keeping animals in captivity is that it could help save a species who is endangered and close to going extinct. Another benefit is that it helps increase the amount of food available because some animals are raised for food. Putting animals in captivity wrong unless they are being used for the animal’s benefits.

Freedom is everything to people, and animals alike. But animals in captivity are stripped from this. In SeaWorld and circuses, the animals are living their lives entertaining people and living their lives in cages or small enclosed pens. By keeping animals to remain in captivity people are taking away their freedom, forcing them to be used for entertainment, and not providing animals with the proper care.

The world stripped of human intervention was created by God to be a magnificent place, which glorified God. We, as beings made in the image of God, were given dominion over the earth. However, where does our rule become unjust? Where do we overstep our boundaries? Throughout history, humans have strived to gain ultimate control of a planet they did not create. Some aspects in nature should be left to its own devices to be beautiful and glorify God, their intended purpose of creation. Humans have no right to captivate orcas because we cannot provide for their needs and we force them into a world they did not want. We force orcas into tanks not nearly large enough, we force them to mix with orcas not from their social pods, and we force them to perform for our entertainment.

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

Animals raised in captivity are the most unfortunate of all. They go through grave conditions with no chance of survival. Over 3000 animals die per second due to slaughter. Over 56 billion die because of slaughter per year (www.animalequality.net/food). The consternation behind the walls of slaughterhouses will leave you dumbfounded. The way animals are treated is atrocious. Animals raised in captivity are treated bestially from the time their born to the time they die.

Is keeping animals in captivity having a negative effect on them? Are animals at risk from being held in zoos? Animals have been held in captivity for hundreds of years, but in recent times people have been agreeing with the idea. Although not all animals are kept in good conditions, animals should be allowed to be held in captivity, some animals are safer in captivity, some animals are injured or unable to live in the wild, and it allows researchers to gain knowledge on animals that are not common in the wild.

The panthers advocate, our observatory narrator, acts almost as a conduit. The title gives implications of a third person narrative, yet Rilke channels the animals emotional state also, affirming how “He feels…”.The speakers attempt to steal the “gaze” of the restrained feline’s “misted” vision, is convincing. Although misted, we are given a clear insight, of the monotonous and bound lifestyle of the undomesticated cat. We are informed that the panther is so powerless behind the bars, to the point of belief that there is no freedom “beyond them…” Powerless to the point, that even his strength has become paralysed. It is therefore apposite to examine the characterisation of the animal and the presentation of captivity that we are challenged by.

Studying animals in captivity allows scientists to achieve up-close research that cannot be obtained from animals in the wild. Seaworld helps “provide researchers the unique advantage of animals that are trained and able to cooperate”.This type of research is crucial to protect the species in the ocean, especially those that are endangered. Observing captive animals can be done on a daily basis for longer periods of time. It also gives researchers a “controlled setting for science that is impossible to replicate in the wild”. By working with universities and government agencies, Seaworld is enhancing their knowledge and understanding of killer whales in order to help protect the species in the wild.

Have you ever been to a zoo and seen an animal pacing around? They do not do this in the wild. This is just one of the things they do in captivity as a way to cope with boredom. Zoos should not exist and here are the reasons why.

Should animal be in captivity? I think not. Animals need to be able to hunt for their own food. Let’s say that a whale was fed in captivity for a long time. Then somehow, the animal had to be let free into the wild. The whale may not survive because it doesn’t know the proper way to find and hunt food. Another reason is because the whales don’t really have a choice and it can probably get boring in captivity. Some whales can also go crazy from being in captivity for a long time. In fact, in 2010, a SeaWorld trainer, Dawn Brancheau, was dragged underwater by a whale named Tilikum. Tilikum has also been involved in 2 earlier deaths. Sea World said that the death was an accident. Therefore, it could have been because of the captivity.

Everyone should help any animal when they see a chance. That could mean that you may help an animal that is hurt or dying. You could also help by purchasing clothes like ivory-ella. That is an organization that helps elephants from being killed or getting their tusks getting cut off. The worst is when animal is held against its’ will. To understand why we shouldn’t have animals in captivity, it is necessary to examine the dangers if we keep them in captivity, while on the other side we should keep them in zoos and not let them be free, and for the common ground we should makeup a solution to make everyone happy.

Many people think we should ban animals in captivity, and others may think we should not ban the animals. Honestly we should not ban animals. There's plenty of reasons why we should not ban animals from zoos and other exhibits. In "Myth And Reality" it says as long as the animals are kept in captivity they are suppose to get treated humanly, because studies have shown that animals suffer mentally, emotionally, and even physically. It also says that zoos claim to teach visitors about the wild life conservation and habitat protection. Its not so much that the animals aren't in their natural habitat because the zoos make their large cages look and seem like if they are in their natural habitat. On the other hand people think we should ban the

Animals have rights just like, they need to be free too. Just imagine you being in a cage for the rest of your life.That would be boring and exhausting.

Animal captivity is an extremely important, and often overlooked problem that we, as human beings, have placed on nature and the animals that live in the endangered environment. There are groups of people worldwide who are extremely against animal captivity because of the drastic and permanent effects it leaves on the animals. These ideas of hatred against animal captivity are expressed in small ways such as posting a picture on Instagram that represents animal cruelty in captivity. Another way these ideas can be expressed is through large representations such as movies. Films such as Jurassic World and Blackfish are prime examples of this. Both of these films are representing the severe repercussions that can come from keeping large, dangerous animals in captivity. Though Jurassic World is a fictional movie, it is able to send the message that having animals that are dangerous in captivity is something that is very dangerous. Blackfish offers a real and terrifying glimpse into what happens to the mindset of animals who are put into captivity and the threat that those animals pose to not only other animals in captivity but also the humans who are in charge of looking after these animals. This problem of taking animals away from their natural habitat and placing them in captivity is a prime example of how humanity is trying to assert itself as dominant of everything else. Mankind has thought of itself as a “protector” of the wild animals by
