    Animal rights. Are they being taken enough seriously? I and many others think they aren’t. Millions of animals are being kept at zoos and aquariums, with too little space, being watched by people every day and being beaten up if they don’t behave as “they should”. I don’t think that it can come anything good out of keeping animals at zoos. Aquariums To begin with, at many aquariums dolphins and killer whales are forced to do tricks and shows for visitor’s entertainment. To do this, they are being

    Shouldn’t an animal have the right to freedom? Animals should not be forced into captivity. Zoos don’t allow their animals to have the same freedom like they do in the wild. Zoos are not appropriate for animal containment. One reason why zoos are not good for animals is because they confine animals to tiny spaces. “The treatment of animals held in captivity has changed over history, as the understanding and views of their well-being has increased” (Goodman, 2016). Zoos might have been a good idea

    Zoos, they’re an area where animals are forced to be taken away from their natural habitats all over the world just due to the satisfaction of us humans. This debate continues to cause strong opinions from both sides of the argument. Detaining and imprisoning these innocent animals is absolutely remorseless for so many reasons. Now, even if these zoos work as hard as they can’t copy every animal’s natural habitat, behaviors, and many other factors they will never be completely accurate. That will

    Zoos today are inhumane and cruel and should not be allowed in our society. I agree with the statement that zoos are inhumane and should not be kept in captivity for the people’s enjoyment. I believe that it is cruel to hold these animals captive and not let them roam freely like they would in their natural habitat. I also believe that by holding these animals captive, society is taking away the rights of these animals to roam and is inflicting major side effects on these animals physical and mental

    Are the animals happy? This question has come across the minds and hearts of children and adults who have visited a zoo. The answer often given is not a pleasant one to many. After doing a lot of reading and research, the answer to that question is simple “no.” Many of these animals are used to living in the wild, where they can be feral and free. In captivity, they are extremely limited as to what they can do. Commendably, the zoos do care for their needs such as food, healthcare, and so forth.

    all, what are zoos? Many people said that zoos are a great place of entertainment because they can take their families to see lots of exotic animals that you only get to see in books or on TV. Other said that zoos could be described as some collections of animals found in nature.

    Animals In Captivity Wild animals are known as “wild” animals for a purpose. If wild animals were intended to be kept shut up in a jail, also known as a zoo, then what exactly is the point of contacting them wild animals anymore? Zoo authorities use many justifications to back up their place that having wild animals in captivity is necessary, but those justifications are neither moral nor necessary enough reasons to deny animals of their organic right to independence. Even under the best of conditions

    you ever wondered how life would be like living in a zoo? Life can be painful as an animal living in a zoo.

    Animals in captivity are incapacitated, therefore they should stay in the wild and out of zoos. The writers at the largest animal rights organization in the world, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, P.E.T.A., explain that animals in captivity “are often prevented from doing most of the things that are natural and important to them, like running, roaming, flying, climbing, foraging, choosing a partner, and being with others of their own kind”(“Zoos”). It is a constant challenge for animals
