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
she cried with remorse. "How cruel can the savanna be?" she questioned the savanna itself. Two thoughts filled the mother's mind, an ending to her everlasting grief, and the dismay the crocodiles create. Many animals overheard the mother hyena, and avoided the river.
Large number of animals are killed in the laboratory every day. These experiments also delivers inaccurate results, and always spread new diseases. Large numbers of animals are severely suffered and killed in laboratories for many company products. They are rudely dragged out of the cold, hard steel cage, thrown into the laboratory and being cutted alive, smothered with cosmetics products and even forced to smoke cigarette, these cruel experiments lost the animal‘s ability to see, hear and smell. Research shows approximately a hundred million animals were killed each year, and 95% of the animals had suffered animal testing, Animal testing must stop to prevent numerous number of animals being abused and killed.
[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.
It might seem less serious, but that is not the case; it can lead to terrible pain and suffering, and sometimes death. Some examples include starvation, dehydration, untreated infections, inadequate shelter in extreme weather conditions, and the failure to get medical care. Passive cruelty is sometimes due to the owner’s ignorance, so many animal control officers will first try to educate neglectful owners on how to properly care for animals before giving them a ticket or placing them under arrest. The second kind of animal abuse is active cruelty. It is more well know and disturbing.
Orcas in Captivity Have you ever been to SeaWorld and watched the show they do with the Orcas? I bet you never fully paid attention to how depressed this wonderful animals looks, because you aren't focused on how they feel only how you do. SeaWorld has 23 Orcas placed in three different parks in America. Overall there is 55 known Orcas in captivity in the world, and there is known to 144 Orcas that have been taken from the wild, and most of them are dead now due to being in captivity. Keeping orcas in captivity is bad for health reasons, because it causes stress problems they would never have when living in the wild.
In captivity wild animals are used for our entertainment. Adults and children visiting zoos have be given the subconscious message that its ok to use animals for our own entertainment, it also trespasses on their freedom or quality of life. Therefore zoos will encourage poor treatment of animals. People do not go to zoos for educational purposes they simply go to be entertained and diverted by weird and wonderful creatures seen as objects of beauty and entertainment. The only way to understand an animal properly is to see it in its natural environment the zoos give an artificial and misleading view of the animal by isolating it from its natural habitat.
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.
After the Elephants home failed, he went to a Lion and asked, "Could I stay at your house? I got kicked out of my house." The Lion turned him down because Armando was too slow because he was a turtle. He found a Jaguar and asked him if he could stay at his house, the Jaguar just said no, even though he had no reason to. Then the Jaguar gave Armando very helpful information, saying, "Hey if you want a new home then you need to go to the brawny, brown, brewy mountain.
The behaviors of the exotic animals cannot be predicted, one may not order and command their steps each minute and therefore can kill or maim within few seconds. Many people according to studies have been killed and maimed by these animals within seconds. They can be extremely dangerous when provoked. Interference with the natural system As much as all the animals deserves to exist, keeping the exotic animals is taking them out of their natural habitats and may feel like they are lacking something. Keeping them also interferes with them since they are meant to be free and are used to hunting for themselves.
