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
Lastly he experiences it when sleeps in the zoo at night when nobody is around except for an occasional patrolling guard. The only thing Jennings has to cope with his loneliness is his stuffed animal Doggie. Through
PETA’s campaign SeaWorld of Hurt shares, “In captivity, orcas are unable to hunt and obtain water from their prey, so SeaWorld gives them gelatin, a substance that is not natural for them, in an attempt to keep them hydrated. Tilikum, who weighs 12,000 pounds alone consumes 83 pounds of gelatin every day.” (SeaWorld of Hurt) The SeaWorld Parks are blatantly taking advantage of the helplessness of these mammals, using them as props for education and
In opposition to this, in a regulation on the number of hours it may be safe to withhold food from an animal, the IATA states that a pet can be without additional feeding for up to 12 hours after the flight is airborne (“International Air Transport Association”). Lack of food and water could be deadly to a young Chihuahua if the flights were delayed for several hours. In addition, at eight weeks of age Chihuahua puppies will not have sufficient control to maintain their balance during a rough flight. By genetics Chihuahua puppies have a large domed head in comparison to the size of their bodies. The larger head is why a young Chihuahua puppy may appear to be awkward or clumsy.
Of course, back at the farm the unlucky ones would still be suffering. The mother of that kitten would still be imprisoned in some tiny cage, already given birth to her next litter. And perhaps there were actually a few more of those cute little puppies originally, but they were kept as well, just to keep the breeding program going, doomed to a lifetime of enslavement and captivity. The thing is, when you go to a pet shop and ask about their animals, none of this is explained to you. They’ll be labelled as pure-bred, pedigree animals from supposedly “registered” breeders, and usually the customer is completely oblivious to their pet’s sinister background.
There are usually anywhere from 200-300 females and only 50 male dogs at puppy mills. Inbred animals with deformities and congenital disorders are a regular occurrence at puppy mills, but are never cured. Puppies, mothers & fathers are all kept in tiny cages, constantly walking around on wire cages & their own faeces, some never seeing sunlight. What about those animals who break free? They’re met by electric barb wired fences, reinforced with a strong electric current.
Orca Captivity Orca’s have been captured from the wild for display since the 1960’s. When the first captures occurred, orcas were known as mindless killers that lived up to the name “killer whale”. As people began to watch and study orca’s in captivity, they had realized that their perception on these creatures was mislead. Researchers discovered that orcas are highly evolved social beings, and they have come to realize they are not suited for living their lives in captivity. Many groups are working to make people aware of orcas in captivity and avoid future reoccurring problems like this.

Right now, billions of animals are locked in small cages so that they can't even stretch their limbs, or turn around, or are crowded into large sheds, tens of thousands of them in each shed, unable ever to go outside or enjoy fresh air and sunshine.
