anytime the family visited the zoo. My elderly brother, who was very shy and quiet, became social because the animals in the zoo were friendly to him. My father would always assign us homework titled: My Experience at the Zoo. This became a routine practice which contributed hugely to our academic performances. Zoo proponents believe that they provide education and entertainment to the public and they also protect the animals. Zoo opponents, on the other hand, believe that zoos harm animals. The care,

Animals kept in zoos has always been a controversial decision. Zoos have been around for 4,000 years. Many people argue about the impact a zoo has on an animal and the world. According to the article, ”Zoos: The Historical Debate”, “Some people argue that zoos play an important role in conservation of endangered animals, others say that zoos do more harm than good.” I believe that zoos play an important role in conservation. They also educate us about animals. Finally, zoos entertain us in many ways

The Hidden Factor On average about 175 million people visit a zoo per year. However, the majority of these people fail to notice a relative issue that is lying in front of their faces. That these animals within these zoos are suffering every day from mistreatment and abuse. Most of the society ignores the many factors that have been revealed to them every time they enter a zoo. Instead, society focuses in on issues that are happening right now, the issues that draw out the media and are on the cover

Nathalia Rucci Metzger Speech: Period 4 6 October 2014 Zoos are Internment Camps for Animals and Should Be Shut Down Attention Getter/ Intro (Attention Getter, intro to topic, thesis, preview) Close your eyes.Picture yourself as a child. You are walking through the entrance gates and try your best to see over the many crowds of people. You have been waiting for this moment and grow very impatient. Finally, you sprint to the very first exhibit in sight, and your mouth drops. You rush to see the next

many things can happen. One of these things that are capable by the human species are zoos. Zoos have been around in society for many years, and they hold many purposes such as “conservation, science, education, and recreation” (Wickins-Drazilová). Many zoos have mission statements that hold common themes. The common themes among most of the mission statements are “(a) conservation and (b) education” (Patrick). Zoos should always be able to stay true to their mission statements while continuing to ethically

Zoos are Internment Camps for Animals As claimed in the LCA article, ”Animals in zoos are forced to live in artificial, stressful, and downright boring conditions”(User, Super). Evidence shows time to time that animals are being affected by zoos. There are many things hidden behind the facilities, that many people do not know about. The animals are being held in conditions that no animal should ever live in. Even though some zoos do focus on helping the animals, they are not as beneficial to the

trip to their local zoo when they stop to look at the tigers. The child sprints over to exhibit with excitement; he notices a red sign stuck the glass of the enclosure which reads, Endangered. “Daddy, if the zoo is keeping the tigers in a cage in order to save them, when will they let them back into the wild to live free?” Based on statistics from public zoos across America, the unfortunate answer to this question is a resounding ‘”Never.” It has become noticeably evident that zoos are not a current

Your Local Zoo: A Safe Haven or An Expensive Prison? Do you enjoy the zoo? Do you ever wonder if the animals there enjoy it too? What if it’s more like a prison to them? Zoos have been around for centuries, and many visitors arrive everyday. Zoos will most likely have animals that wouldn’t be out and about in average towns, like polar bears or sea otters. Most of the time, these animals are endangered, or near extinction and placed in that zoo so that the population can rise with forced breeding

may argue that zoos are good for sick or injured animals; however, while they can help nurture babies and bring sick creatures back to health, they are not safe for healthy animals. Dr. Lesley Dickey estimates that every year about 3,000 to 5,000 animals are ‘management euthanized’ in European zoos (Barnes). This means that zoos put down animals if there is not enough space for them. This is called zoo culling. Some zoos even dissect animals in front of guests that they killed. Zoos are for caring

Abstract Zoos are unnecessary in the US, and are an infringement of animals’ rights to a free life in the wild. Zoos do not allow newborn animals to live in their true habitat, and these animals being held captive can develop zoochosis. Some argue that zoos protect endangered species from going extinct, but in order for species to be conserved, they must be conserved in the wild as whole eco-systems, not protected as one single species as practiced by zoos. The US should abolish zoos, and use the
