Zoos have become a very visited place over a person’s lifetime, whether it be for an educational school field trip or for a day of fun. It’s a wonderful experience to be able to see animals up close in a controlled environment, keeping visitors safe from these animals, however do visitors think of what the animals are going through? Zoos are not providing enough space for captivated animals to live causing numerous problems not only involving the animals, but some visitors as well. Zoos should not

Not only do zoos cause physical damage to animals, but also, they cause mental and emotional issues in wild animals. After all animals do display signs of consciousness, so they do have feelings about being locked up in displays and cages around the clock. Recently, a group of animal researchers signed a declaration proclaiming that animals are self-aware. Alex Halberstadt’s article called “Zoo Animals and Their Discontent” stated, “The Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness in Human and Nonhuman

p-21). Many Nigerian trees, shrubs, and animals are endangered while some have been depleted. Several plant species like nuts and kernels are endangered due to overexploitation. Animals are also endangered now such as gorillas, chimpanzees, guenons etc. “In fact, the lowland gorilla which is endemic to the Cross River National Park at Mbe Mountain is seriously endangered through hunting and habitat destruction,”. Not only plants and primates, amphibians are also affected by deforestation. Several

Berkeley of California is researching a new topic of a natural water filter and how we can pursue this and help the environment while saving money. Kim Hunynh had made an excellent point when she wrote the article Natures Water Filter, which stated "typical wastewater treatment plants only remove about 50% of antibiotics in the water" (Hunynh, Kim). The research plans were given by World Health Organization and explained in how the lans would better the environment and help budgeting later on.

Hi! That is me in the picture above, and I am a gorilla. I belong to one of the four species of great apes besides the chimpanzees, bonobos, and orangutans that are the closest relatives to human beings like you. This is because we are similar by almost 98.3 percent when it comes to our genetic code, which makes us the closest cousins among the other primates (WWF, 2016). My scientific name is Gorilla gorilla, from the kingdom Animalia (IUCN, 2016). Human beings like you say that I am a gentle giant

A daily life for Vincent Phelps (if you want to know what his life was like during retirement) comes as no surprise. He usually sits on his chair, arms tightly around his breast, his face to the sky. His brow is furrowed with indecision as something in his mind becomes real as life itself. It aids his air of stiff and steely determination. A bright and youthful friend of Vincent Phelps, 45-year-old Detective Simon Byron, rings the doorbell, causing Vincent Phelps himself to be snapped out of his

In this statement I describe my motivation for seeking graduate training in psychology at Georgia State University. It is my aim to continue my education in psychology, with the goal of pursuing a career that contributes to our understanding of cognitive abilities in both humans and non-human primates. My involvement in the academic community at the University of Georgia has contributed greatly to the refinement of my academic and career goals. Through my involvement in service organizations such

is well taken care and provide a home so they will not be hunted down by people or killed by other animals. For example, this year the Oklahoma City zoo announced that two endangered animals became pregnant. It was an Asian elephant and a western lowland gorilla. Without zoos this would not have been possible, and many of the animals we hear about today could have been extinct. If zoos were banned, we would have not have the chance to see them and have that experience of visiting a zoo. Zoos have

The novel is told from the perspective of a telepathic gorilla named Ishmael who also believes Mother Culture takes human forms such as priests, prophets, governments, presidents, or teachers because the citizens in the world do not know how to live and must therefore listen to Mother Culture. (Find passage in which Ishmael talks about how we are told to live in this world.) No one questions why Mother Culture’s establishments have shaped a lot of man’s criminal record. From the moment we are

Imagine a white fluffy puppy with one blind eye, now imagine him being killed because no one adopted him. Imagine a small calf that was just born, killed for veal for a restaurant down the street. A furry black fox, killed and skinned for a small fur coat. A lion at the zoo, killed because he ran into the glass and cracked it, just because humans got scared. Humans will put them in fights. We kill them for food. We put wild animals on display. However they do so much more for mankind than we give
