For each scenario below, explain how and why you would schedule an appointment or suggest a referral based on that patient’s reported symptoms. First, review the “Guidelines for Patient- Screening Exercises” found on page iv in the “Introduction.”…
The author gives several specific examples throughout the article of animal abuse which he then follows with the corresponding consequences of these actions and the lack of implementation by the USDA in these incidents. The author writes in this specific order to create an emotional response from the audience by first making the reader remorseful for the animals explaining how they were brutally treated. He then describes how there were no consequences for these actions which consequently causes the reader to feel outraged and more likely to side with…
There have been several investigations into their inhumane practices. Tragically, Sea World is responsible for thirty-six unnatural orca deaths since 1971 (“Lives Stolen”). Some of the causes include diseases, stillbirth complications, and infections (“Lives Stolen”). None of these orcas died from old age. All these deaths occurred due to conditions of their captivity. Wild orcas have an average lifespan of thirty to fifty years, but in captivity the oldest orca was only twenty-six years old (“Lives Stolen”). These horrors only accounts for one species out of 6,126 species housed in all zoos (“Zoo Statistics”). Zoos are not only unsafe for animals, but also for humans. Over the past twenty-six years, 256 injuries have occurred from animal attacks (Romain). Of those injuries, thirty-three deaths have been reported (Romain). The injuries and deaths are of both the animal trainers and audience. Zoos practice an unmoral act to reduce attacks, they force antipsychotic medication down the throats of those animals to keep them more docile. Medication is not ethical, instead, animals should remain in their natural habitats, not pinned up in close proximity to people. Since animals are not in their natural homes, they perform unnatural habits such as self-abuse, pacing, swaying, boredom, and stress-induced behavior. Unlike in the zoo, animals out in…
Zoos are like internment camps and should be shut down. Animals deserve the right to live out their lives in their natural habitat, not be the source of human entertainment. Zoos are more detrimental to animals than they are good for them, even though there are conservation efforts and educational purposes for having animals in captivity. The negative aspects far outweigh any positive effects when it comes to having animals in captivity due to poor living conditions, failure to educate, and psychological trauma.…
Fayden walked down the street in the early morning, sure he should have waited for someone to go with him but he wanted to be alone. He needed time to think, and come to terms with the loss of his family. He knew that his town would treat him differently now but he wouldn't leave it... That town was all Fay knew and it made the eighteen year old boy sad that he really hadn't gone anywhere in his life except to the big city a few times with his father. He slipped under the fences and over the walls as he made his way to the frozen pond. His sea green eyes looked at the layer of ice and smiled running his hand over it and then tapping it listening to hear if it would keep him up. He decided to attempt this since it had been a few weeks since the tragic…
In Defense of Zoos the author highlights all of the positive aspects of zoos and everything there doing right for the animals. The article states “zoos are a necessary and vital part of efforts to conserve them and other endangered animals” because of deforestation and poachers but does not provide any information on the benefits of the wild. Its conveyed in the article that the “wild” is not all its cracked up to be and is more of a fairytale certain people and groups tell themselves. For example, to try and give there claims basis the article mentions the gorilla Harambe that became very famous after his death following an incident with a child. The author talks about how Harambe the gorilla had a good life and due to being born in captivity…
The general topic of discussion among scholars is that the health of zoo animals in Britain needs specific attention as a way to counter the increasing push for the banning of zoos. Most scholars tend to specifically address the causes of low health of zoo animals. The most common causes addressed are visitor interactions, types of enclosures, and a lack of opportunities for wild behavior. There are scholars such as G.R. Hosey and Gareth Davey who both feel that zoo visitors have a strong impact on animals’ health. Davey argues that visitors inflict high stress on the animals, but that the measure of the stress depends on a multiplicity of variables including type of animal, person and surrounding environment (Hosey). Davey, in contrast, argues…
As humans inhabit more and more of the earth’s land, some species of wildlife are more likely to be found in captivity than in their natural habitat. But is that a good thing? Keeping animals captive might not be in our best interest. Caging theses animals up for zoo can be compared to imprisonment for animals. It makes profits for zoos and aquariums while these wild animals suffer. They take away from these animals being free, just so they can entertain humans. Lastly it takes away these the freedom of animals, preventing them from being truly what they are, and that is wild animals. So these animals shouldn't be captive to zoos and aquariums.…
There are many controversies when it comes to the topic of the Zoo. The question to ask is if zoos are good or bad for the animals? And reading on in this essay with the main point you will be able to decide for your own will. Discuses in the rest of this essay will be the living conditions of animals, if they’re able to have families, how they are treated, and if they are able to reproduce. These animals suffered with poor health because they had a natural food diet that they’re weren’t used to. According to S. Mary P. Benbow, “Unsuitable feeding practices of captive animals’ still continue”, which is sad because people who don’t know about this goes to the zoo not knowing what goes on behind closed doors. “In 1992, Masha, an elephant in the Moscow Circus, died after being fed a diet of vegetables, meat, red wine, sugar, and a brew of vodka”, said Benbow in her article.…
Some illness or natural occurrences result in premature deaths. Studies show that forty percent of lion cubs die before one month and thirty percent die before 6 months (CAPS). Also that African Elephants live 3 times as long in the wild than they do in zoos (CAPS). There has been many situations where animals have died over escapes or a human's fault. A gorilla escaped and was shot to death. Zoo footage showed that teenagers were taunting the gorilla with rocks a few hours prior to his escape (PETA). Another instance was a zebra escaped into the lion exhibit. She narily got out but on her way out she hit a fence and broke her neck (PETA). In another zoo two polar bears died 5 weeks apart. One died after ingesting an object that was thrown into his exhibit. The other bear died from an infection from two dead fetuses in her uterus (PETA). Newborn animals get more attention than the larger animals (BornFreeUSA). Baby animals are known to be more appealing to people as they get older they are less attractive and they get killed or sold…
Animals are dying all over America and zoos are the criminal’s behind it! Not too long ago, a Tiger was poisoned in a Nevada Zoo. The zookeepers claim they did it for the animals “own good”, They claim that it was all just a myth. Another incident, in the same Nevada Zoo, an animal was not fed and starved to death. Again the zookeepers deny the fact they did it on purpose. According to PETA, (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), They finally came out and said, “they needed more room in the zoo.” My opinion is, they should’ve just donated the animal to another zoo or let it free. This is why i think zoos are bad.…
Keeping animals imprisoned, in a cage, or tank for most, if not all of their lives can be traumatizing. Imagine if that was you; going from being free in the wild and being able to do and eat when/whatever you want, to being in a cage and having your whole life on a schedule not to mention having to deal with these creatures looking,poking and studying you all day long. Kind of sounds like going to school doesn't it?…
The overcrowding of animals in shelters has become a very important issued here in the United States. Every year thousands of thousands of animals are either abandoned or are missing from their home. This is a result of many occurrences that have been affecting our society in the passing years. For instance, the economic crisis that affected not only the U.S but also the entire world had a huge impact on the number of people who had to give up their pets due to the reduction of space of their new homes or simply because they couldn’t afford to feed their pets. Also the irresponsibility of so many people over breeding their animals and when presenting the problem of not having enough resources to sustain them they had get rid of them. At the same time people not using the correct way of protecting their pets with the consequence of them getting lost and homeless.…

Meow! Bark! When you went to school did you have a classroom pet? Pets in school can be great for the kids and teach them to be responsible but it also has disadvantages. I believe classroom pets should not be allowed because they can be bad to the students and it dangerous to the animals.…
