Short Summary: Are Zoos Good?

But they are just killing and making the animals fear everyone. About 5000 healthy animals are put down at zoos if they don't cooperate or if they do something wrong. In other words, zoos are the biggest nightmare for animals. Zoos have kept many secrets from everyone, which is very scary. In fact the scariest thing is that people die in zoos when they are trying to perform a show for others, animals are put down or abused at zoos, but most importantly animals are taken away from their homes.

That’s so crazy! Some people like to think that if SeaWorld has to close down, then so should the zoo. But that is really different, at the zoo no know has been hurt by an animal (at least I don’t think so), but at SeaWorld they have been many death occurred, because kids think it is safe for them to touch the animals, plus while training the orcas killed the trainers. “Orcas in the wild have an average life expectancy of 30 to 50 years—their estimated maximum lifespan is 60 to 70 years for males and 80 to over 100 for females. The average age of death for orcas who have died at SeaWorld is 13 years old,” by SeaWorldog Hunt.

One example is that some animals can get a disease called zoochosis and it is shocking what zoos will do when trying to hide it. For instance, “As Dr Keith Lindsay, a biologist with more than 30 years of experience in elephant research and conservation, has said, these are symptoms of “pathological, stereotypical behaviour that is common with disturbed animals in captivity, but which is never seen in the wild”. There are also cases of animals being given antidepressants to hide their unhappiness from visitors. In 2015 Auckland Zoo euthanised a gibbon, Iwani, because he was “severely depressed” and the zoo admitted they could not meet his welfare needs. ”(An unnatural environment)This is significant because it shows that when zoos commit wrongs and take problems into their own hands it most often ends up worse.

Animals can feel alone, happy, sad, and scared; but more often than not they feel alone, just like humans. Across the globe, 7.6 million animals per year are being brought into animal shelters. Now knowing that information, add in the fact that only 1 out of 10 animals that are born actually find homes; the rest either die or make their way to a shelter. Unfortunately, nine out of ten shelters are kill shelters. Meaning if animals aren’t adopted, they are euthanized.

Millions of animals are abused and left to die a long exhausting death each year. Many people don’t know that the cosmetic products they own are tested to see if the products are safe for humans. In the process of the testing animals are tested using harmful chemicals that often burn the animal’s skins and the ruthless workers leaving them to die a long painful death. Animal testing is inhumane and should be banned. Animal testing kills and tortures millions of animals each year.

It’s cruel and inhumane, which is why it has to end right now. If you disagree, you have to ask yourself: “Why not? Why don’t you want to end their suffering? How can you sit there and watch such cruelty?” Making animals test subjects are wrong, no matter what’s its purpose.

In 5 Arguments Against Gun Control-and Why They are All Wrong the authors state "Rep. Louis Gohmert pontificated: "I refuse to play the game of 'assault weapon. ' That 's any weapon. It 's a hammer. It 's the machetes. In Rwanda that killed 800,000 people, an article that came out this week, the massive number that are killed with hammers."

The quote states “In the last 10-16 years, 1.5 people on average gets killed yearly by captive reptile, 1 by captive cat, 0.81 by captive elephant, 0.125 by captive bear and 0 by captive nonhuman primate,” reports Zuzana Kuhol, a REXANO o-founder “As a comparison, 45,000 people died each year in traffic accidents, 47 from lightning and 1,600 by falling down stairs” (REXANO). However, even though it is rare, it still happens and you can’t predict when it will attack. The quote claims “Exotic animals are wild animals with wild animal instincts, even when born in captivity. A wild animal is never 100 percent predictable.

According to http://www.petful.com/, among the 50 states, only 26 states have laws regulating commercial kennels. The other 24 states have no laws that puppy mills have to follow. Also, these puppies overcrowd our shelters, causing us to kill more animals in a less amount of time. According to http://www.thepuppymillproject.org/about-puppy-mills/, about 1.2 million dogs are euthanized in shelters every year. Lastly, for our satisfaction in our own personal content of financial stability we overlook the mistreatment of animals.

The trees fell down so the bears are really cramped so they come to town for food and space. Some people are really afraid of the bears that come to town. People think that the bears are very dangerous. The bears’ attitude isn’t good at all. People say that if you just let the bear(s) be, they will leave you alone.

With that being said only one nest in ten actually produce a single healthy duckling. Predators can not
