Amenhotep III the ninth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of the New Kingdom ruled 40 powerful and prosperous years. Historians consider him a successful hunter and a highly cultivated leader. But who was he? The Thutmosid royal family had ruled Egypt for almost 150 years when Amenhotep III was born to Thutmose IV and his minor wife Mutemwiya in approximately 1388 BC. Succeeding his father on the throne as the ninth king of the dynasty, Amenhotep ruled between 1386 and 1351 BC.
Several zoos were inhumane towards their animals and didn’t treat them in the right way. There were many cases and stories on the different ways they were abused. One story includes a 59 year old elephant called Anne. This elephant was chained up and beaten on the back and legs if it didn’t perform tricks to its audience (Carr, 2012). Another story, that happened in 2010, includes a zoo in China which allowed eleven of its Siberian tigers to die of starvation.
Zoos, aquariums, and other animal parks are a place where many families go to enjoy time with each other and learn about animals they have never seen before. The parks seem friendly and all of the animals look so happy and healthy, but behind all of the laughter is the sad, unfair, and cruel lives these animals have. All animal captivity parks and zoos should be shut down because its a form of animal cruelty and it's dangerous for the workers, trainers, and the animals.

Imagine this, a lone animal paces back and forth in a cramped metal cage with a crowd of spectators watching its every move. But the sad thing is that you don’t have to imagine, as this occurs in zoos across the globe daily. According to an article written by PETA kids, zoos are teaching kids and adults that imprisoning helpless animals in metal cages and taunting them is ok ( ¨5 Secrets Zoos Don't Want You To Know¨). This torment of animals has been going on since 1500 B.C in Egypt (Sangll).
This argument is split into three main viewpoints, the opinion that zoos harm animals, the opinion that zoos save endangered species, and a mix between the two. Viewpoint number three is more of a critique how zoos are good places where bad things happen and should be reformed. Each option has its own individual pros and cons but a reform of zoos and their standards would be the most economical for zoos and aquariums and this method would also be the least harmful and less stressful for the animals involved. The care and wellbeing of the animals involved should be the number one priority of all groups and by cutting back on over breeding, the phasing out of lager animals that naturally roam large distances, and creating environments that’s sole purpose is to educate people, zoos can become a better place for people and animals
