Ethics Of Animal Training

Animal training can be found in different and unique ways, that are beneficial, or ethical. Animal training is a job of teaching animals to get the certain responses the trainer desires. The often responses are called stimuli. Stimuli is the specific response, and the reaction is functional. The trainers use these sources and observations to get the act they want, it is tedious. The work that the pair does becomes experience, experience is what the trainer likes for the animal. An example for experience can be like when an animal first starts to fly, swim, run, or walk. It then becomes instinct so then the animal has the thought in their mind.
Ethology is the study of animal behavior, so it has to deal with the training. The founders of ethology
Instinct is the behavior but with no experience, not a quote. “Instinct is innate, meaning that instinctive behaviors and responses are present and complete within the individual at birth. In other words, the individual does not have to undergo any experience to acquire such behaviors” (Schlager). A newborn recognizing the differences, needs, and characteristics from the parents, is called imprinting. It seems like a way of learning for the young, and it goes into their parenthood if happened. Great examples for imprinting are geese and ducks following their parents, sometimes if parents are away they will follow a different species. Ducks and geese are not going to leave their babies, they’re very protective of their young.
Behavior is a characteristic of instinct, but is a thought in the mind. A huge amount of activists believe that animals do not experience or feel pain. I believe that there is a sense of nerve but not pain. It just teaches the animal behavioral instinct to survive in the wild, like learning a lesson. The mind thinking about having a distressed feeling is a great way for the animal to know to never do that again. In some cases the animal is unaware or unintentional about the action it did, causing the action to be brought up
The beneficial is ethology, learning more about animals, behavior, and teaching processes. The ethical is training, teaching the animals in a beautiful environment, with no harm. Organisms all around survive so well in the environment, people need to know what they can do, how they are beneficial, and the help of that we can improve. Animal trainers, activists, scientists, or lovers are all around and can be found in different ways.
