(killerwhale.org) Furthermore, they have concluded that any scientific study of orcas would be best done in their natural habitat verse aquariums. Multiple factors would affect their behaviors and many concerns have been brought to peoples attention about the effects orcas face by leaving the wild. One concern for orcas that are born in the wild then taken into captivity is that they live in pods, and their families operate much as if a human family would, with strong attachments and emotions. Tearing these creatures away from their family members has much to do with the psychological effect on them. Several incidents have been reported over the past years that make people question the continued captivity of orcas.
Being kept up in a cage his entire life, Benga began to become extremely depressed. His psychological turmoil persisted even after being freed 10 years later. In 1916 working at a tobacco factory in Virginia, Benga committed suicide. The Story of Ota Benga, one of our own, a human, at the Bronx Zoo is shockingly similar to so many other captive animals, especially the extremely intelligent
Drug manufacturers test medications on animals after they have been injected with viruses and diseases to see if the medications work on the animals. There are many companies who use animal research to test their products; unfortunately these organizations do not look for alternatives besides animal testing. If these atrocious acts were committed outside laboratories, they would be felonies. But animals suffer and die every day in laboratories with little or no protection from cruelty. It is immoral to

Sometimes, infants have been captured for illegal sale to zoos. Because female Mountain gorillas are very protective of their babies, poachers often have to kill the mother or even an entire group of animals in order to take one baby But the main reason why they are endangered is habitat loss. The countries where the Mountain gorillas live have the highest human population densities in the world. Because there is a lack of farmland in these areas, every acre that is not protected has been farmed. People remove the forests in order to create new farmland for
I believe the purpose of the story is written to set “an excellent moral lesson” (1310). While reading this story for the first time, I was trying to compare the animals to what they would be as humans. The “animals that had not gone to bed from the night before” (1309) I thought as drunken men wondering around the town. I pictured the “two enormous brown beetles” (1309) as two prison guards, and the mouse as just a small little prisoner being led to the gallows to be hung. Being a soldier myself I could relate to “the lines of soldiers standing at attention” (1309) and the mouse possessing no military training, was not as crisp as the beetles leading him.

Videos like “Meet Your Meat” provide viewers with a glimpse of what goes on behind the closed doors of factory farms. Depicting graphic violence of animals being senselessly beaten, mutilated, injected without the use of antiseptics. Abattoir animals spend their entire lives in repugnant milieus, scrabbling around in their own feces and living in constant fear in crowded, confined spaces.
But as time passes, the Acts that were passed started to be like a battleground for those animals. Both of these articles’ main purpose was to inform the audience about what is happening to animals, and how they are becoming endangered. In Kaufman’s article Date Night at the Zoo, if Rare Species Play Along it seems to be more directed to veterinarians or anyone who works with wild animals. It gives many facts about what is happening to animals, and why they are slowly becoming instinct, and what they should do about it. The article was also written very formal.
When their is a build up of waste can mix in with groundwater and runs offs leading to killing fish and contamination. Several countries such as Japan, Australia, Canada and Europe have all banned the use of antibiotics and hormones on their farms and are still able to produce a healthy meat, in the United States it is legal and therefore used in mass quantities. In factory farming not all animals are free to roam, and able to live a happy life. Chickens can be kept on grass but are crowded in large flocks. They are debeaked or a third of their beak is amputated with a heated blade.
