Recommended: Ethical considerations to zoos

It’s quite unfortunate that I get into the situations that I do. We went and visited the man on Howard Avenue today to collect the $10 dollars, and Lorraine doesn’t even want to cash the check! He will surely know that the L & J fund isn’t real if we just dispose of it. He invited us to the zoo tomorrow, and I suppose we will have to have to go, as some form of forgiveness for stealing money from old people. We didn’t really steal it though. He gave it to us. Then again, I suppose fraud is considered a sin anyway, so that leads me back to the zoo thing. Lorraine hates zoos, but they don’t even mean enough to me to even bother hating them. It’s just something that’s always been there, and I’ve never really given them much thought before. Kind

    Gasping. Fresh air fills your chest. Scaldingly cold. Opening your eyes, a blinding white room occupies your vision. Again. A profluent voice issues into your head, “You have been revived by your loving government. You have experienced a near death experience. Please remember than intentional deletion is not permitted in Australia. If you wish to be deleted, please present your application to a local branch.” Slowly, you heave your new body off a coroner’s table. The world sways slightly. Fixer drugs do that to you. Wandering through a hallway filled with debris, you reach the high arcing front door. Barely impressive anymore, you pass under the crumbling masonry without a second glance. On the street, the soft cascades of a thousand footfalls

  • Remembrance: A Nostalgic Look at Friendships Past

    I’ve known this day was coming for months. Yet, I’ve no idea how to feel about it. The late Mrs. Ewell was my best friend when we were young. Close as two can be, Elizabeth and I were. That doesn’t hide the fact that Thomas’s practically raised me. Mrs. robinson was a kid herself when she had Tom, but she raised him well from her practice from me. Memories of both women flooded my mind. Someone in the back of my head murmurs about right wounds and left hands, I think nothing of it. I glance at Atticus and my focus shifts. He has been there since before I can remember. Neighbors when we were younglings, friends also. He is four years my senior, so being an only child made me think of him as a brother. Ever since we were little I have trusted him. He’s always been stable to me and I had a gut feeling he was always right. My suspicions were confirmed when he disapproved of my husband, who evidently ran away with some babe of twenty-two and my mother’s gold

Signals that make zoos unfair and sometimes unbearable for the captive animals are not visible to most spectators. This essay will explain how zoos are unjust and should not be supported.

  • Importance Of Zoos And Aquariums

    1943 Words  | 4 Pages

    The foremost troubles for animal facilities, such as zoos and aquariums, range from ethical issues of captivity to the creatures in themselves. While animals preserve their heavy reliance on their innately natural instincts, how they use their instincts has been in demonstration countless times. In some facilities, the performance of unexpected behavior is highly regarded as dangerous and often punished accordingly. For example, in the San Francisco Zoo, Tatiana, a tiger, expressed aggression towards a worker in the form of a physical attack, but the incident was isolated as territory protection-driven and not thought of much. In another instance, the same tiger ...

    Strolling down a dusty dirt trail, hearing the sound of children’s laughter in a earshot and the king of the jungles mighty roar bellowing for attention. Seeing the sign labeled “Lions Beware” you enter a shadowy cave, the air smelling of must, you come upon a window that allows you to come face to face with the beast. Witnessing its motionless face laying on the rigid ground, you lose interest and continue your journey. Many people feel that zoos do everything correctly to maintain the animal’s health and well being, as well as debating that zoos even have a breeding program to keep up with all the species of animals. However, many people aren’t aware of the cruelty behind zoos and how animals are mistreated, murdered and suffer from malnutrition. Lions are cramped into small cages and sea lions swim in water that contains chemicals, causing them to lose eye sight, is just a few examples. The breeding program that many debate about gives the public a false sense that something meaningful has happened but in reality animals might show no interest in mating and zoo babies are just crowd-pleas...

  • Persuasive Essay About Zoos

    1913 Words  | 4 Pages

    As if being caged in all his life was not enough, the Copenhagen Zoo again deprived Marius, the two-year-old giraffe, of a normal life. They considered him a “surplus” and murdered him with a shotgun in 2014. Marius’s perfectly healthy, two-year-old body, not even fully grown, fed the zoo’s felines. Not only was this choice irrational and ridiculous, the zoo even immorally declined offers from other zoos to adopt and an offer of over half a million dollars from a person to take Marius off their hands (Schwartz 1-2). In 1982, the same zoo cruelly killed three innocent tigers, saying no other zoos would give them a home (Stoner 36). Even with offers, they still killed Marius, so it sounds like nothing stops
