An environmental theory that has come about because of the issues of treating animals as people has been whether or not the animals kept in captivity will face the loss of their habitat, will face the detrimental effects of global warming with no way to be rescued and also may be targeted by hunters. “Others worry about animals themselves. Steve Feldman, spokesman for the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, says that keeping and breeding animals in captivity is sometimes the only way to safeguard a species. Opponents of captivity, he argues, too often ignore the reality of habitat loss, global warming, hunters, and poachers threatening species in the wild,” according to Berdik (2013). It is a very real possibility that by releasing an animal from captivity and essentially treating them as a human that the animal could face complete loss of their natural habitat and may end up extinct or near-extinct due to hunters targeting them.

SeaWorld animal trainers began working with bottlenose dolphins in 1963 before the first park opened. Requirements Each year, hundreds of men and women apply for positions in SeaWorld's and Busch Gardens' Animal Training departments. The number of openings is generally limited to fewer than 10 hires per park each year. For SeaWorld, a college degree is not required to be eligible for an animal training position, but it is preferred. Applicants are expected to complete some college coursework in biology, marine biology, zoology, and animal behavior or psychology.
As if that was not horrible enough, dolphin trainers and veterinarians witness and sometimes assist the killings. If they see a "good-looking dolphin", they purchase them to use in dolphinariums (a dolphin aquarium) and amusement parks around the world (Brian Duignan, Dolphin Slaughter in Japan, Advocacy.britannica.com) including the beloved Sea World. A former Sea World biologist stated in a short documentary, "Sea World has been involved in illegal and unethical actions to assure their parks are well stocked with killer whales." He also said in the same documentary that, "Sea World representatives secretly promoted the Japanese dolphin drivers where thousands of animals are
There were some people who wanted to help save the elephants from street life. The second essay I read was “Whales R Us” by Jayme Stayer. Jayme’s attitude is very negative in this essay compared to Bykofsky’s attitude, which has a positive attitude. Jayme believes that the tourists were here at sea world to learn educational things about animals but really were not getting the correct information. Sea World, according to Stayer, was just too noisy, and the employees needed to be more informed about what they were telling the tourists.
Animal testing is wrong. I am going to talk about animal testing, why it is wrong and the effect that it has on the animals in general. It’s just disgusting what these people are doing to animals and even though they do it for medical research, they have no right to make another living creatures life a living hell. Here are a few examples: My first argument is storing the animals in cages. 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.
First, the two articles seem to have the different purposes. The article “SeaWorld: The Truth...” is biased toward the image of theme parks while “The Case Against...” ’s aim is the status of captive killer whales. This dissimilar point can be seen clearest at the introductory of the two articles. “The Case Against...” starts with affirmation that some theme parks should not keep orcas in prisons. “Orcas – intelligent, highly social, amazing,” the author claims, “beings – deserve their freedom.”(“The Case Against, par.
Animal testing is basically making use of animals in experiments carried out for the betterment of human lives. These animal experiments are carried out by universities, pharmaceutical companies and even by students and researchers at medical schools. These animals are either bred specifically for carrying out experiments or are caught from their wild habitat and locked up in cages. There are some pros that motivate scientists to carry out experiments on these animals. So, what are some of the good things that support the torturing of these poor animals?
It seems as though humans have imposed conscience and morality on animals which normally do not exist in the animal world. These personificated notions in several tales and poems have reflected stereotypes on actual animals and lead humans to believe that these animals are “evil” creatures. In the short poems “The Tyger” by William Blake and “Snake” by D.H. Lawrence, it’s noted that these creatures, the tiger and the snake, are being looked upon as vicious and untrustworthy. The writers of these poems go deep in their description of the nature of these two animals and indirectly pointed out the stereotype each creature holds. Animals, whether they have the concept or not, are being confined to the stereotypes humans hold against them based on their nature and face unfair treatment.
[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.
