One cold January day on the hill Spindletop, the discovery of a black, thick liquid changed the future of Texas. In January of 1901, oil was stumbled on in Texas. In the beginning of the discovery, the profit went to the Easterners, then it changed. Wildcatters, who were investors that put their money into oil rigs, spread across the state and placed oil rigs everywhere. During this time it was rare to get very rich off of oil because of the dry holes and loss of money.
Zoos Should Be Banned Imagine you are five years old, someone breaks into your home, kills your aunt and possibly your older brother in the process of kidnapping you. You are separated from your loved ones, leaving your mother in severe pain and grief. You are taken somewhere unknown, imprisoned in a cell where people come watch you for their own entertainment.
Zoos are found everywhere you go in the world. Some are big and popular, while others are something as simple as a rescue and rehabilitation center. Every child loves going to the zoo at some point in their childhood years. As you get older, you begin to form an opinion on what you think about the overall ideas of a zoo. Some adults love it still as they grow older.
A two year old baby giraffe, named Marius, was slaughtered at the Copenhagen Zoo during the year 2014. Even though Marius had done nothing wrong, the European Association invited young kids and parents to watch a zoo keepers shoot the giraffe in the head, cut him into pieces, and feed him to other zoo animals. This zoo thought it would be a good learning experience since kids would never be able to see this in a classroom. Marius was the perfect giraffe to kill because he looked too much like all the other giraffes, no one would miss him. Many other zoo’s wanted to pay money to adopt Marius, but the Copenhagen Zoo declined every offer.
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
Zoos As the passage claims, zoos are essential for modern society, however, the professor refutes this claim and states that there are numerous debates about this particular matter such as animal rights and he presents several reasons for his claim. Furthermore the professor states that zoos have no clear benefits. First, professor states that the animal treatment in zoos is not as prety as the author would belive. He mentions the unfortunate story of two dead red pandas which were exposed to rat poison.
Zoos are a safe way for kids and families to observe animals in their "natural habitats. "Humans cannot see animal emotions and expressions, so we just assume the animals are comfortable in their manmade habitats. We don't know how wild animals act in their normal habitats, so we cannot tell if they are acting unusual or in distress. Although the animals look like they are having fun with one another in their cages, they are actually getting forced to go through breeding programs, getting less space to roam, and growing more stressed overall. Therefore, zoos are not a safe place for animals to be.
Have you ever been to the zoo? If you have, then you have probably noticed the pain and misery that the animals are subject to and the cages that limit their spatial needs. Entire species have died out after being subject to conditions that they are not accustomed to. The social and emotional needs of these animals are barely met and they are often starved and underfed. Entire populations die out, yet there isn’t a single word about it.
The sayings that, animals are like humans, because they also have rights in this world; to live and to be loved. Animals are taken care of by the professionals in zoos. Nowadays, as we visited zoos, there are some that it's pleasuring to the eyes but some of them were not. It was destroyed by the people. The animals were not healthy and some of them were dying.
Zoos are establishments were wild animals are collectively maintained, typically in a park or gardens, for study, conservation, or display to the public. They are much more than a collection of animals and more important than ever, because zoos are a productive and successful strategy for protecting endangered species worldwide. The majority of endangered species are suffering from habitat destruction or exploitation. Captive breeding becomes the last option when basic strategies of preservation and protection in the wild are ineffective. The survival of Pere David 's deer, Przewalski 's horses, the North American wood bison, and the Arabian oryx, are common examples of productive conservation efforts undertaken by zoos worldwide.
Zoos should not be allowed and shut down because they are internment camps for animals and here are some reasons why. First, zoos cannot provide sufficient space. Zoos don’t have the space that animals would have in the wild. Tigers and Lions have around 18,000 times less space in zoos than they would in the wild. It also causes them to change their habits because in the wild hunting in the wild was a necessity to survive, zoos lack that feature.
Zoos have always been something that families love and kids look forward to going to. Kids learn about the animals and the habitats and enjoy the entertainment. It is a great experience for people, but not for the animals. Zoos are downright cruel to Animals. Animals our forced to live in an unreal stressful, and boring conditions.
Rights are against the use of force and they are our primary if not only our means of survival. There is only one fundamental right: To live successfully, a man has to make his own choices as well as animals too (Roleff,2014,p.33). There is a huge difference between giving animals their rights which is less than human beings and not to give them rights at all. Nowadays animals are presented in many places of entertainment such as zoos and cruces as well as aquariums where the audients pay a lot of cash to watch fun and exciting things going on, it sure makes us happy but what about the animals are they happy too? Are places of entertainment appropriate for wild animals to live in it normally?
People say that zoos are important for education and are a great way for people to learn about exotic animals (Agnew n.p). Researchers cannot learn as much when animals are captive, you can learn just as much or even more while they are in their natural habitat. While some believe that zoos are important for education, they also believe that zoos are necessary for the survival of species (Zoos n.p). Most zoos claim that they take in extinct and needy animals, most animals at zoos aren’t orphaned, extinct, or injured at all (Zoos n.p). Lastly, one big claim is that zoos help conservation of animals (Borrel n.p).
Imagine you are taken from your home, mother, and environment to a small cage where everybody is looking at you, taking pictures, and having fun. Your owners sell you to a bad zoo where all animals only get food sometimes and the bare cages are cold because you’re getting too expensive to feed and even take care of. This is why I take the position that zoos should be banned because they can cause Animal cruelty, Too expensive, and finding new homes. Say no to zoos!
