Unnatural Treatment Of Animals In Animal Captivity

The issue on whether or not to keep animals in captivity has been debated heavily for a long time. With species such as the panda on the verge of extinction to mistreatment of marine mammals in theme parks such as Sea World, keeping wild animals under the care of humans has been a struggle and a highly controversial topic. Even though many people believe that animals should not be kept in captivity because humans are incapable of fully understanding and providing specific needs for wild animals, certain animals can be kept happy and healthy in captivity, and these animals are an important educational tool for teaching people of all ages about biology, biodiversity, and the ecosystems of the world.

2. THESIS/PURPOSE: Today we will explain the significance, and inherency due to animal cruelty, as well as several solutions which can help to prevent cases of animal abuse.

Do you think that animals should be kept in captivity there whole life's. When people put animals in zoos or captivity that keeps the animal safe. 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 them not go extinct, it brings happiness to families that go the zoo, and zoos bring in enough money to build better animal enclosures.

The author of this article, Michael D. Lemonick, discusses how some animals aren't able to be kept humanely in captivity. This article mainly focuses on elephants that are kept in captivity. Normally elephants roam up to, if not more than, 30 miles a day and they socialize with up to 20 other elephants a day. While in captivity, elephants are not experiencing their lives the way they should. If an elephant is in an exhibit that is too small for them, they can develop serious health issues such as, foot problems, arthritis, and even premature deaths. Most zoos aren't equipped to take care of elephants like they should. Lemonick discusses zoos across the country that have stopped exhibiting elephants altogether, due to severe issues seen in elephants.

Over the centuries, animals have suffered from cruelty from humans. In the United States, animals are beaten, neglected, or forced to struggle for survival. Animals have been inflicted with pain from humans for reasons other than self-defense. They have been slaughtered for their food and fur for personal gain in profit. In a majority of cases they have even been abused for someone’s own personal amusement or out of rage filled impulses. In some cases animals are found and rescued. They are given the second chance in life to experience what life should be like compared to what they once had.

Laboratory animals that escape outright physical pain and discomfort are almost always subjected to isolation, depression and anxiety. In fact the worst evil we inflict upon animals condemned to scientific research may be the act of removing them from the natural habitat, or breeding them in captivity, and then placing them in the artificial environment of a laboratory cage, where they have no hope of having the kind of life nature intended for them.

There are different opinions on the subject matter. Some people support the rights of animals to the extent, that they find it extremely cruel to keep them in captivity, comparing it to imprisonment, whilst others say captivity of animals is essential to their further existence and well-being. Many neutral analyst on this debate topic have pointed to the fact that acting in accordance to moral and emotional notions is not the most ideal approach on such a complicated and ambiguous problem such as this. Rather the important question that should be emphasized upon, is what manner of living would be most beneficial for animals?

Fishing today has become a billion dollar industry as a sport all across America. In fact, it is such a popular hobby that across the central United States it is nearly unheard of to have never have participated in it at any point in one’s life. With world populations reaching never before seen levels, many engage in catch and release techniques. Though this activity is cherished by anglers across the nation, it may be a criminal involved in the case of animal cruelty. My three criteria for animal cruelty are: causing unnecessary pain to animals, killing without a use of the animal, and altering the entire ecosystem. If fishing by catch and release methods fall into this category, then they may not

The talk was about the contradictions in the treatment of various non-human animals based on their species, and how we often accept animal cruelty without even realizing it. As a lawyer, the lecturer used court cases as a tool to demonstrate inconsistencies in our justice system as well as in our ways and habits as a society.

Anthony Douglas Williams once said, “When humans act with cruelty we characterize them as ‘animals’, yet the only animal that displays cruelty is humanity.” Animal Cruelty has been a significant issue since early documentation of abuse in the 12th century. However, even though animal cruelty has been an issue for a long time the laws that govern the mistreatment of animals have only been around for a short period of time. There are numerous types of cruelty ranging from the mistreatment of circus animals, experimentation on lab animals, and physical abuse in households. In addition, there are several different links that show a connection between animal abuse and abuse towards humans.

“Animals in captivity are affected by extreme boredom, lack of appropriate exercise, poor quality food and a lack of variety of food, especially in poorly run facilities” (Education Reform, Choo). Imagine you got ripped out of your home and put in a small cage with no interaction with other animals and terrible food. You have no idea what's going on and what's going to happen to you, that's was animal's face everyday in captivity. Animals in captivity are abandoned and not fed the right foods, they do not get treated right and get pulled out of there families just to be put in a small cage. Studies show that animals in captivity have a shorter life span and they are more likely to get depressed when they are taken away from their families.

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.

Humanitys’ cruelty to the exotic beauty, that is a wild animal.. Animals are taken from their natural habitats and sold to countries around the world. Those who capture animals try to change the animals instincts, by means of whipping the animal into submission (“ The Dangers”). They are often sold

First of all, the reading passage avers that animals would obtain the health and psychological treatment in captivity, which will improve their health. While, the professor counters this point and explains that even though animals receive care from professionals in zoos, animals live in limited space, which leads to psychological stress. Moreover, he points out that some animals perform unexpected behavior and attack visitors, which

Animals forced to live in farm factories being used to produce food are mistreated on the daily basis. Forced to eat foods that are harmful for them, they are also forced to live in tight housing conductions where they are sometimes unable to stand or move around forced to be in one spot which cause them to have sours under there bodies from not moving. These animals keeps under this conditions live under a lot of street from seeing there young being taken away from them or maybe how some chicken farmers don 't allow there animals to see sunlight which put stress on the animals. Humans do these things to animals because they only think of the benefit for them but most people don’t see the harm that is done to these animals and also the harm that is done to the environment. Do these things to these animals is not right and we as humans don 't have the right to treat another living thing this way all living things should be treated with respect regardless of what it maybe, I know that all living things can be treated like humans but we should at least insure that all living things pain and stress should be kept to a minimum and should be eased when it can whenever possible.
