It is a great experience for people, but not for the animals. Zoos are downright cruel to Animals. Animals our forced to live in an unreal stressful, and boring conditions. Animals our taken from their natural habitats and locked up in small spaces, the small spaces, the concrete floors and the unnatural social groupings are slowly driving

“A long time ago, my ancestor Paikea came to this place on the back of a whale. Since then, in every generation of my family, the first born son has carried his name and become the leader of our tribe... until now” (Caro & Sanders, 2003). Whale Rider is the story of a girl, Pai, whose twin brother and mother die in child birth. Koro, Pai’s grandfather and leader of the Maori tribe, is devastated that their future leader has died.

The significance of this task was to see who was the strongest, most worthy and most capable of becoming the next potential chief. Since she had retrieved the tooth this meant she was to be that generation 's chief, whether Koro wanted it or not. Pai was also able to move the dying whales that where on the shore to the

"No one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark.” This is a quote from Warsan Shire that I remember every time I see migrants in the news. It seemed to me that Shire 's quote is a profound statement putting all else in different standpoints. Hovering around the boards of the Larawan Kasaysayan Lipunan exhibit is a great deal of learning and allowed me to discover things. The exhibit has a contemporary relevance to the geographical or cultural spaces in the world making me realize things

THE EVOLUTION OF THE CARCHARODON CARCHARIAS (SHARK) for my research task, I chose to study and track the evolution of the shark. These beasts being one of nature’s top predators in the world and dominating the oceans surrounding our continents. I chose these fierce creatures as they were a perfect example for me to use in explaining the evolution and the branching of evolution purely based on the fact that they have been around for millions of years through prehistoric times changing and evolving

this world-renowned tourist attraction has had many examples that support her claim. In producing this film, Cowperthwaite hopes to bring about an end to SeaWorld’s practice of using killer whales as performance animals since the limited environment is ultimately doing more harm than good for both the whales and their trainers. The purpose of this rhetorical analysis will be to determine whether Blackfish offers a compelling argument. To begin with,

John Singleton Copley painting Watson and the Shark depicted the attack of a shark on fourteen-year-old cabin boy in the waters of Havana Harbor in 1749. Watson, an orphan, decided to take a dip from a skiff while the ship on which he was crewing docked in Havana Harbor. A shark attacked him, biting his right leg and pulling him under. Copley's visual account of the traumatic event showed nine seamen rushing to help the boy, while the bloody water proved he had just lost his right foot. The injured

Florida Gulf Coast University is not only home to about 13,717 undergraduate college students but is also inhabited by wildlife. FGCU is approximately 740 acres and half of those acres are inhabited by wildlife like gators (FGCU the College Board). Alligators can be found in almost all bodies of water here on campus. Alligators, if you give them characteristic traits, would be actually considered shy creatures in a way. You know the old saying “they are more afraid of you then you are of them” perfectly

What is life for an orca really like at SeaWorld? It’s sad, degrading, confining, and tortuous with perhaps a few small glimpses of happiness, depending on the whale and the day. According to the documentary Blackfish, Tilikum, or Tilly as some may have known him as, was an orca whale captured and kept in captivity at SeaWorld, until his death in early January 2017. The documentary reveals that Tilly was taken from his mother as a mere infant. People used nets to corral mother orcas and their young

As human beings we visit the Waikiki Aquarium and only see the place as a paradise home for the Hawaiian Monk Seals. We do not put ourselves into the perspective of the marine animal and see the aquarium through their eyes. My story, “Bumping Into Glass Walls” promotes the idea that we may think the Hawaiian Monk Seals enjoy the aquarium but that could be a false statement. We can come to a conclusion that the Hawaiian Monk Seals do not want to be at the aquarium but end up there because of threats

I think that SeaWorld is an amazing facility. I love the fact that they rescue sea creatures from their inevitable death. I love the fact that children love to come here. I love the fact that this place causes children to subconsciously learn something. I love to bring my kids here on the weekend to watch the shows that the trainers put on with the orcas. I think that having animals in captivity is an amazing thing. If animals were not allowed to exist in captivity, my children would know absolutely
