Is it Morally Acceptable to Defend a Zoo? Zoos are often a sore subject amongst many now that in this era a portion of the population considers animals outside of the human race to be moral agents. Since the beginning of the idea of zoos, institutions considering themselves have come to have a different mission behind the captivity of animals. Normally when the word zoo is used, people would probably think of a small enclosure made of cement and steel bars. But did you know that are technically

The Badlands Quickly pulling over to view the stark landscape, which was similar to being on the moon. I began driving the Badlands Loop a 40.03-mile road around Badlands National Park, South Dakota. The scenery did not have the splendor of the Grand Canyon or the natural geysers of Yellowstone. However, the sandstone formations, surround by the prairie grassland were special. Just after sunrise, the long theatrical shadows on the water and wind carved features, created an eerie landscape. Nevertheless

I would now like to discuss the financial assistance, or cost share programs available to landowners by the NRCS and the FSA. The FSA, Farm Service Agency, is charged with being the banker, or allocating the federal and state dollars to implement the plans from the local NRCS agency for the landowner's property. Some of these programs are EQIP, CSP and CRP, among some others. Taken directly from the NRCS website: EQIP “The Environmental Quality Incentives Program, provides financial and technical

Humans have been using animals to do tests and researches for a long time, but nowadays these kind of testing are being questioned. There are many types of research such as pure research, which is used to genetics and developmental biology researches; and applied research which involves drug testing, cosmetic tests and toxicology tests. The applied research is the most questioned for its cruelty with the animals since there are lot of tests that make the animal suffer or even die. So the question

testing on animals prevented this epidemic from happening. In addition to creating vaccines, it can save endangered animals from extinction. “Animal testing has also been instrumental in saving endangered species from extinction, including the black-footed ferret, the California condor and the tamarins of Brazil.” (ProCon) Since animal testing has clinically tested vaccines and helped endangered animals, it has saved millions of lives of

Animal Testing-ProCon, millions of animals could have died from rabies, feline leukemia, tetanus, and many more if they were never experimented on. Also, animal experimentation has allowed us to save endangered species from extinction like the black-footed ferret, the California condor and the tamarins of Brazil (Animal Testing-ProCon, 2017). All over the world there are hundreds maybe even thousands of endangered species, but by experimenting on them we could find ways to save them. According to Animal

ANIMAL TESTING An animal test is any scientific experiment or test in which a live animal is forced to undergo something that is likely to cause them pain, suffering, distress or lasting harm. Animal testing is good and bad thing. It’s a good thing because we can get medicines to cure diseases and sicknesses. There are some good things about animal testing but also bad things. The bad things of animal testing is that it can either kill animals or cause them long lasting harm. If the animal

In “The Beast of Waste and Desolation” in Barry Holstun Lopez’s book Of Wolves and Men, he writes about the attitudes he encountered from people when discussing wolves. These attitudes came from several different sources, ranging from several different Native American tribes and field biologists to ranchers, trappers, and general residents of the areas where he conducted his research. Lopez expressed his discomfort when he spoke with the latter group, as those people that felt there was nothing
