Chimpanzees and tigers or exotic animals are not domestic animals and therefore people should not be allowed to keep them. Owning these animals as pets can be extremely dangerous. People who keep them may think that they are doing well to the animals, but in real sense the animals belongs to the game parks. Protecting these animals from poaching, killing and ignorance can only be curbed by having proper systems and structures that ensures that these animals are well taken care of and protected in the parks. Risks involved The risk factors that comes along with keeping such animals are so high compared to the little advantages that people may claim to be getting from them.
It is inhumane to keep animals in small enclosures like that where they wouldn’t even get room to stretch their legs or get the chance to behave like they would naturally in the wild. The more intelligent animals (dogs, cats, pigs, primates etc) suffer from severe cases of loneliness because they lack the rights to run around and be free. How would you feel if you could not run around in a free environment? My second argument is using animals for testing cosmetics. It is estimated that over 1 million animals are killed due to companies that test their products on animals and those companies tell us that they use animals to test the safety of their products.
In conclusion, animal testing should be eliminated because it violates animals’ rights, causing pain and suffering to the experimental animals. Humans must not justify making life better for themselves by randomly torturing and executing thousands of animals per
Keeping orcas in captivity is bad for health reasons, because it causes stress problems they would never have when living in the wild. How do you feel being in a closed off area for the majority of your day? Most people hate being closed off just to a certain area, us as humans can do something about it.. but the orcas in captivity cannot due to the over ruling of the trainer and their new life. SeaWorld keeps these wonderful wild animals in small tanks, without being able to feel free or even swim. Orcas can swim up to 100 miles every day when being in the wild, and what captured they are unable to do this, the tank to the Orcas are like the size of a bathtub.
These exotic animals do not perform these unnatural and meaningless acts because they want to. They do it because they are scared of what will happen to them if they don’t. The riding bicycles, juggling objects, the dancing bears, and tigers jumping into a rim of fire are all forced tricks. The Welfare Animal Act states that circus animals should be protected and treated humanely, and focuses on animal rights such as, exotic circus animals. In the wild, exotic wild animals are portrayed as free and dangerous; being in a cage locked up and treated badly does not make the animals safe for the public.
[animal-testing.procon.org] Researchers in Aston University have made it known that it is not worth taking the lives of these animals for testing, because the things we’re trying to make happen with human bodies is very different from the animal body. The anatomic, metabolic, and cellular differences between animals and people make animals poor models for human beings. There is a big percentage from the 1950’s up till now that animal testing is flawed by not being correct when it is given to the people it is for. So why not just stop the animal experiments that are not just killing, but also torturing the animals.
Should Animals Be Kept in Captivity or Should They Be Freed in the Wild? Animals in captivity are deprived of their natural environment, social interaction and typical activity. These animals often turn their energies and anxiety into stereotypical behaviour that are not evident in animals who are free to move around in the wild. Moreover, animals in captivity are usually affected by extreme boredom, lack of appropriate exercise, poor quality of food and lack of variety of food, especially in poorly run facilities. Deprived of their natural environment and social groupings, these animals are unable to learn in a way that will help them achieve their full potential and realized their genuine origin.
When an owner realizes he is unable to care for his wild, exotic pet, options are limited. Many animals are abandoned, traded, or euthanized. Laws prohibiting exotic animals as pets have failed to eliminate the problem. According to the Captive Wild Animal Protection Coalition: The average pet owner cannot provide appropriate housing, secure containment, adequate nutrition, appropriate care and cannot meet the complex social, emotional and behavior requirements of wild, exotic animals. Recommendations and warnings are readily found from government agencies and nonprofit organizations.
This system is flawed as it was never designed to ensure animal welfare. The animals are being whipped, their heads beaten onto concrete blocks and their throats only half-slit and died lingering deaths on these voyages. We, however, can change this. Now, in support of passing this bill to end live animal exports, I would like to present several ethical reasons why we should look at moving away from this cruel treatment of our animals. Firstly, the fate of our animals during transportation.
Many of wild animals cannot cope with situation that they are taken from their natural habitats and placed in captivity. They cannot carry on their normal activity like in the wild and become listless and inactive in zoo. They also lose their natural abilities such as sprinting and hunting when placed in captivity. According to Virginia McKenna, the founder of Born Free Foundation and wildlife campaigner of United Kingdom suggested that freedom is a precious concept, and wildlife suffers mentally and physically from the lack
