Should Animal experimentation be permitted? Throughout history‚ animal experimentation has played an important role in leading to new discoveries and human benefit. However‚ what many people tend to forget are the great numbers of animal subjects that have suffered serious harm during the process of experimentation. Many people seem to be ignorant or misunderstand the nature of the lives that animals actually live‚ and are unable to understand the actual laboratory procedures and techniques

Zoos: The Entertainment of Today‚ the Education of Tomorrow Stampeding elephants rushing through verdant fields. Slithering snakes creeping along the Amazon floor. Gazelles grazing through the undisturbed prairie. SNAP‚ the feasting wolf captured the innocent gazelle as it devours it alive‚ then scrimmaging through the bones for any extra meat of the gazelle that is no more. Sadly‚ this is a true reality‚ and in zoos‚ animals are completely safe and don’t take the risk of being eaten alive each

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

The roles of Zoos in conservation The main aim of zoos is to protect and conserve global biodiversity and wildlife. To do this they have four roles to play which are; research‚ conservation‚ education and welfare. Research: Research is the careful search or inquiry for new facts by scientific study of a subject‚ through a course of critical investigation. By studying animals we can learn new things about their behaviour and lifestyle. The Secretary of State’s Standards of Modern Zoo Practice (SSSMZP)

Zoos are inhumane‚ some of the reasoning for this is because the animals become stressed in captivity. The noises and‚ on occasion‚ anything being thrown into the enclosure can stress them and force them into a depression. One point against this claim is that we can’t tell how the animals feel about being put into captivity. This is not true. Animals in depression tend to show lazier behaviour. They typically seclude themselves in an area away from other animals and/or humans. On top of this‚ their

Therefore‚ animal testing should be banned. Animal testing should be banned because it harms animals‚ all animals are different‚ and most tests are inaccurate. One reason why animal testing should be banned is because it harms animals. If we don’t ban animal testing‚ animals eventually will die off or be permanently

Zoos: Prison or Sanctuary Zoos! The word itself brings a sense of fun and joy to many of the human race. From children to adults‚ all enjoy the entertainment of seeing animals and birds in a zoo.

he’s cool! But to some‚ Billy’s situation is very uncool. In the wild‚ elephants roam as much as 30 miles a day‚ snacking on lush green foliage‚ bathing in water holes and interacting with other elephants in groups of up to 20. At the Los Angeles Zoo‚ Billy has had just under an acre on which to roam (move). Soon‚ however‚ he will share 3.7 acres (about three football fields) with two companions. That’s generous‚ but critics‚ or people who disagree‚ say it’s still not enough space for an elephant

species has been insufficient. Species decline is directly correlated to human causes‚ whether in agriculture causing loss of habitat‚ or by the greenhouse effect causing global warming. When a habitat becomes deconstructed‚ the organisms‚ plants‚ and animals that once occupied the area have to reduce their carrying capacity‚ making extinction more probable. Human activities have drastically changed natural greenhouses over the past centuries. This includes burning fossil fuels such as coal or oil which

Animals are sometimes housed in zoos for beneficial reasons such as educational purposes‚ providing habitat for animals unable to survive in the wild‚ and research purposes. A significant amount of research is conducted on factors that might be stressful to wildlife to improve the welfare and well-being of captive animals; however‚ an equal amount of research is not being performed on each stress factor that could affect captive wildlife. Despite zoo animals being put on display and constantly exposed
