Nelson also points out that the Ringling Brothers said this in a interview, “ Animal training is based on mutual respect and positive reinforcement”. Nelson adds that Ringling brothers even went on the Today's Show saying they train the elephants with bananas as treats. Many trainers have quit and was disgusted over how the elephants
The point of zoos is to learn. We shouldn’t make animals learn how to do tricks, that’s what a circus does. In the article one, ”Zoo: Joys or Jails.” “Many animals' lives will include performing for visitors. Four shows are performed every day at the San Diego Zoo.”
Killer whales have no choice but to perform all day. “In his first home, Sealand in British Columbia, he was trained with other whales using punishment: if he mess up a trick, they’d all have their food withheld” (Lewis Helen). Other killer whales began a strong dislike at this and would scratch them with their teeth so hard he would bleed. They are forced to do tricks for people and they get frustrated because there enclosures are nothing compared to the wild.
From the circus to television shows, animals are used constantly to entertain the masses as they are forced to act out in order to promote a business and help them gain money. Rather helping the enterprise obtain more green, they are forcing these poor creatures to forcefully act, some of these instances lead to animal retaliation. For instance, Tilikum, the killer whale from Seaworld, constantly killed many of the employees as Tilikum tries to convey those that he does not belong in the entertainment platform, but many executes disagree and forced the whale to perform many dangerous stunts, leading to Tilikum’s death. To the entertainment businesses out there, these animals aren’t actors and they should be going through physical altercations
That video depicts the backstage of Ringling Bros. Circus before the elephants go out to perform. That 's not all it depicts, as stated on http://www.wildlifeadvocacy.org, the trainers are using “bullhooks”
Undergoing human experimentation, prodding and poking, and irrelevant training exercises, whales in captivity are forced to live in an unnatural and inhibited manner. The line between animal cruelty and human entertainment is one that has been a blur in a recent studies. Human entertainment and boredom should not give rise to the mistreatment of animals in captivity. If parks wish to remain open, then special precautions must be taken to both ensure the safety of human trainers and workers as well as happiness and comfort of the animals. If held captive animals should be given habitats that are as close to their
Reading Oprah Winfrey “Don’t Txt N Drv” Summary It’s an article about don’t text and drive because many people are dying because of it. At first it was drinking and driving, but now it’s texting and driving. Also it’s about how president Obama is talking about completely banning texting and driving.
There has been various occasions where trainers have died or been near to death. On one occasion a trainer was grabbed by the foot and dragged down into the water for up to a 1:30 repeatedly, eventually the killer whale let go and the trainer was free but he was close to death. Nevertheless the trainers work alongside these mammals everyday and make connections to them like someone would a pet: “Those are not your whales, Ya know, you love them, and you think, I'm the one that touches them, feeds them, keeps them alive, gives them the care that they need. They're NOT your whales. They own them!”
“Within the Special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States. Whoever is guilty of murder in the first degree shall be punished by death or by imprisonment for life” (U.S. code of law). We live in a country where taking a life is a serious crime, unless that it 's a life of an animal, which can neither speak nor understand the horrifying actions that are being carried out. Pets can think, feel and act, just like people do, they’re alive. If animals are alive, like humans, then why should taking away their life result in a maximum 2 years in prison and a fine that never exceeds 1,000 dollars?
We as humans try to train our pets to do some crazy human things, such as a dog riding a skate board to a dog speaking/singing. The 20th century are not the only ones to do so, in the late 1800’s a man by the name of Wilhelm von Osten believed that he had taught his Orlov Trotter, Clever Hans, to do math, along with a few other tasks. Osten was a German high school mathematics instructor living in Berlin. Osten, himself, was a student of phrenology, which is “the now discredited theory of one’s intelligence, character, and personality traits can be derived based on the shape of one’s head” (Bellows). Besides his teaching of mathematics, and learning of phrenology, Osten has a huge interest in animal intelligence, which is how he began testing
Revenge Porn With the rise of technology, there have been more cases of people engaging in a form of invasion of privacy known as revenge porn. This act occurs when a person intentioanlly distributes intimate photos of someone. In response to concerns about the rise of revenge porn, California has criminalized some form of it under its disorderly conduct law. As a result, revenge porn is now punishable as a misdemeanor.

Wild animals are called “wild” for a reason. How can we be educated about wild animals when we are not seeing them in their natural environment? Captivity lacks the ability to show animals true behaviors. A polar bear’s enclosure is one-millionth the size compared to its home in the wild (Derr). With nowhere to go the polar bear ends up spending 25% of its day pacing and walking around in tight circles (Derr).
Animals our taken from their natural habitats and locked up in small spaces, the small spaces, the concrete floors and the unnatural social groupings are slowly driving the elephants insane while their feet and bodies deteriorate before our eyes.” such as an “ Asian elephant in the wild may roam freely over a range of 150,000 acres the show consists of just two acres of walkable ground subdivided into five smaller yards – not nearly enough room for the three resident elephants, Billy, Tina,
They could get lonely and bored and do something to get out and hurt innocent bystanders they could get out of control just because you and your workers are keeping them from being in a place that has their natural surroundings. About the training don’t you think you should end that because if they get overwhelmed they could hurt your workers and that would lead to bad publicity for your zoo. Sindee C. said “Captive animals are deprived of everything that is natural and important to them, and as a result, they become bored and lonely and many even suffer from a condition called “zoochosis.” that’s bad for an animal to have that, and they don’t have medicine at the moment to help that condition.
