Inside the world of zoos what you see is not always the truth. Behind the cages and gates, wild animals suffer from harsh treatments from staff members and even madness from living in small, enclosed prison-like cages. At the Scarborough Sea Life Centre located in Scarborough, England, the Humboldt penguins are given antidepressants because they are not “adapted to the rainy British climate, which is drastically different from their natural environment on the coast of South America.” (PETA UK). While
Zoos are Internment Camps Many cruel things happen in zoos. An article from CBS News states that earlier this year in the UK, three Timber Wolves were shot dead by zookeepers because they escaped the zoo. The zookeepers could’ve figured out a safe way to spare those wolves. Zoos are internment camps for animals and need to be shut down. Zoos treat animals poorly, care more about profit, and rob them from having normal lives. First, zoos treat their animals very poorly and are cruel to them. For
There is also taxes on ammunition and firearms which also benefit the cause, annually millions of dollars are dispersed to State conservation efforts and wildlife management programs. Without funding from these purchases many of the active programs that protect millions of wild animals and habitats would not be able to
the Montana Wetland Council (MWC), led by DEQ, has developed statewide framework, Priceless Resources: A Strategic Framework for Wetland and Riparian Area Conservation and Restoration in Montana 2013–2017. This framework, which builds on the prior framework, Priceless Resources: Strategic Framework for Wetland and Riparian Area Conservation and Restoration in Montana 2008–2012, provides a focused approach to protecting MT’s wetland
Is recycled water really safe to use and drink? Environmental Engineering 3/9/2015 [Type the company name] Satellite A clean water is very essential not just with the environment but most especially among humans. It is important for us to know if the water we drink is clean and safe to drink because we are pertaining to our health. If we drink contaminated water, we are drinking the risk of having bacteria and viruses into our body so it is essential for us to know how safe the water we are
biodiversity and houses predominantly endemic species. Madagascar’s impressive biodiversity is reflected in the many ecosystems and habitats present on the island; which include the dry deciduous forest, the littoral forest, and the evergreen forests (Jörg U. Ganzhorn, Porter P. Lowry II et al., 2001). According to recent information it is known that at least three unique ecosystems on the island have become too fragmented and degraded for native species to survive, or the remaining parts of the ecosystem

Collaborating with timber organisations in North Sumatra, specifically the rain-forests which are located on Lake Toba and the town of Medan, to reduce
Kaitlyn Bogacz Cori Brown Emily Dunlap Species Survival Plan: Giant Pangolin (Smutsia gigantea) Current Position The giant pangolin or giant ground pangolin (Smutsia gigantea) is a terrestrial mammal and is the largest member of the pangolins, sometimes referred to as scaly anteaters. The giant pangolin was previously categorized as near threatened with The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in 2008, and it was updated to vulnerable in 2014. The total census population is believed to
Keeping Wild-Caught Animals is Inhumane Many wild animals are taken into people’s homes every day. Wild animals are causing harm to people in their homes. Some people argue that animal attacks are caused by the owners rather than the animal itself. Wild caught animals need to be taken out of people’s homes, and put in places fit for the animal. Keeping wild caught animals is unsafe. According to the article, “Keeping Wild Caught Animals - Unsafe, Illegal, Inhumane”, it is very dangerous to own
It is important to recognize that the only lesson taught by zoos is that it’s acceptable to hold animals captive. Zoo supporters believe humans have destroyed the natural habitats of these wild animals, making the goal of conservation an essential reason to house them. This is true to a degree. There was a time when “rare animals from the wild” were captured to populate zoos, directly influencing “the survival of the animals ' wild population,” ("Zoos, Animals and Animal Rights
Conservation and preservation are two terms that are closely linked and often mean the same thing. Both terms involve a form of protection but this protection is carried out in a different way when it comes to conservation and preservation. In the 20th century two men by the name of John Muir and Gifford Pinchot had contrasting views on the use of America’s lands and worked hard with Congress as well as the President to find a way to protect America’s vast lands. Muir promoted the use of preservation
The recent changes in the developed nation’s means that the results of performance review are backed by legislation. TM22 and the accompanying software provide assistance to the review requirements. Though its core purpose is to evaluate energy efficiency, the process could be of use for key energy stakeholders. This results in effective building management. The energy analysis tool TM22 has for a long time delivered a systematic framework for initiating an energy survey, along with documenting

This Desmond Morris’s classic takes its place alongside Darwin’s The Origin of Species, presenting man not as a fallen angel, but as a risen ape, remarkable in his resilience, energy and imagination, yet an animal nevertheless, in danger of forgetting his origins. Desmond Morris is an English zoologist, ethologist as well as a popular author in sociobiology. He believes that man needs to be studied in exactly the same way as any other animal, and this requires patience and excellent or and proud
Species interact with each other in the natural world. Two ways species interact are through competition or cooperation. In this study, the average needle length of Red Pines, Pinus resinosa, was compared to the distance to the nearest tree to see if the trees were interacting via competing or cooperation. It was found that the average needle length was longer when distance between the nearest tree was the closest. Introduction In nature, competition is common. Competition occurs between
There are humans and there are animals that roam this Earth. If we are not that different biologically, why aren’t animals as developed as us? Why aren’t we as simple-minded as our fellow animals? There are many different beliefs as to why we have created technologies, ideas, and a future for ourselves while animals are still at the starting line whether it be scientific or religious. After a few months of book reading and researching, I have found that unlike our animal counterparts, humans have
Humans and animals have from the beginning of time always coexisted with nature and invaded each other 's space. Humans, however, rely on animals and nature to provide them with the basic necessities to survive. Our homes, food, water, and even clothing materials all come from these natural resources. As humans, we exploit these animals and disturb their habitats to build homes and to give ourselves everything we need. Hudgins 's "The Cow" asserts what could be an admirable but an evil relationship
Do you believe that animals can think and have their own emotions just like human beings? It is believed that all animals resemble human in their biological constitution (Beck, 2013). Since a long time, ancient people had a strong connection with animals through using them in hunting, transportation, guard, and providing their food resources. These days, people are witnessing a scientific revolution in various discoveries. In other words, scientists try to study and discover every new and strange
crucial to its existence as well as the functioning of the whole ecosystem (Elton 1968).Depending upon the strength, duration, direction of their effects and mechanism of the interaction,these interactions can be further classified and it spans from species interacting only once in their lifetime (e.g. pollination) to those which completes their entire life in another (e.g. endosymbiosis). The interactions may be detrimental as consumption of the other as in the case of predation, herbivory, or cannibalism
