The Association of Zoos and Aquariums, a nonprofit association made to save wildlife, reported, “There are approximately 800,000 animals in the care of AZA-accredited zoo and aquarium professionals.” Zoos are organizations that work to protect wildlife, learn knowledge, and serve their community. Animals that are not living in zoos live in the wild which means no captivity. Animals should be kept in zoos because of entertainment, health, and research purposes.

Zoos have been around since the eighteenth century. A zoo is defined as a compound where wild animals are kept for viewing and studying. The purpose of a zoo is mainly for education and protection, preserving animal species that are either at a risk of becoming extinct or for increased collection size (Jamieson). Animals from around the world have been enclosed in an area where we can admire and study these fine creatures. However, many modern zoos around the world have introduced animal shows, petting

In the film, "Louis Theroux's African Hunting Party", South African wild game farmers advocate trophy hunting as a necessary activity for saving certain species from inevitable extinction due to illegal wildlife poaching. However, when considering Peter Singer's utilitarian theory on the ethical treatment of non-human animals, the process of shooting and killing an animal to preserve its species seems counterintuitive. Applying Singer's perspective, my position is that trophy hunting is morally unacceptable

The Phoenix Zoo, located in central Phoenix, is home to more than 3000 species of animals, including 30 species that are considered either endangered or threatened. This zoo is located about twenty minutes from my home in Phoenix so I decided to go to the Phoenix Zoo with a few of my friends from High School over Spring Break.

Racial interpretation. The most consistent critique of the film involves race and ethnicity, "According to such critics, the royal lion's fiefdom which lies in the sun is distinct from the outer "border" areas in the dark, inhabited by hungry hyenas who have designs to take over the sunlit kingdom. To underscore the symbolism of color, the lions are light colored (except for the lion villain, Scar) while the hyenas are animated as darker colored characters" (Lauren, D. Alan, D, 2006, p.480). During

When we visit the zoo, we all thought monkeys and lions are cute animals, taking pictures with them and trying to get their attention. But when you live next to one, you no longer feel the same. Even if they are cubs or infants, you still see them as threats. I am sure some of you are facing the same problem, but that’s not your fault. Right now, Alabama is one of the few states yet to establish a law which requires an owner to obtain a license to possess big cats, monkeys, bears or other exotic

Jami LoVullo has worked in virtually every facet of the animal business from zoo keeping to veterinary assistant to on-set safety rep to animal trainer.

evolved to become more educational to children and to be helpful to the animals by rehabilitating them. Or have they? Imprisoning animals is wrong and cruel. Zoos should be shut down because many people think that zoos provide education to humans and conservation for animals but on the contrary, they take away their survival skills by providing sources, ultimately forcing them into dependant state, relying on humans; never being able to survive in the wild where they are still taken from. In addition, many

Animals who live in zoos may be ill-treated by zoo keepers and get hurt. Many people support zoos because zoos can provide a safe home and excellent care for animals. It’s true that most zoos have a comfortable environment, but we can’t ignore that some zoos are no better than hell that torment animals. There is an information from BBC World News about zoos in Japan. It shows that zoo 's keepers don’t give bears enough food so that bears have to fight for food from visitors and get hurt. Bears don’t

Zoos are establishments were wild animals are collectively maintained, typically in a park or gardens, for study, conservation, or display to the public.

As a child, I always found an attraction towards interacting with animals and grabbed every opportunity to visit a zoo. Growing up, my fascination and interactions with the animal kingdom became more intimate and enabled me to develop a strong inclination towards the metabolical, physiological and psychological working of a living organism, from the size of a microscopic bacterium to the giants of the world such as whales and elephants. This inclination developed my research on various ways I could
