This Isn’t The Jungle Book In the past couple years it has become a trend where the upper class like celebrities and musicians buy exotic animals such as tigers, monkeys, and cheetahs. Some may find this to be a tough topic to tackle because it is their right to own such animals; however, it deprives the animal of a greater life. Despite other opinions I believe that the rich should not be allowed to own these exotic wild creatures; animals deserve to be free just as man does. The first discussion on hand when talking about why exotic pets should be illegal is that they are unsafe for the human to be around. As I do agree that people should be safe, I also am looking out more for the animal than the person. It was the person's choice to buy the exotic animal knowing the consequences that may be at hand. For instance a cheetah is suppose to be running at speeds of sixty miles per hour in a vast amount of land killing bulky gazelles. Once you put that cheetah on a leash, it no longer can run free, nor kill gazelles. This topic is just like owning a big dog. Most people recommend having a little bit of land for them to run and play on; however, a dog doesn't run sixty miles per hour across miles and miles of land.
Since public zoo’s own these animals most people

Across america there has been thousands of animal get out of their cage to run freely among people. Once the animal has interaction with these people, they usually harm or kill them. This has been known for big snakes to get out to strangle humans, and also for when big cats or monkeys get out to maul people. Once the animal is finally found in the city after this, the animal is not captured to be put in another cage. It is shot on the spot to insure it doesn't happen again. Right after that the owner is at fault and has his license to own such animals taken
Effective Conventions Made : Research shows that children are more susceptible to commit crimes, develop depression and ___ psychological disorders from the effects of bad parenting. In fact, many people grow up treating others just like how their parents treated them with reference to their parents’ values, behaviours and attitudes. Harper Lee, an American author expressed her childhood experiences in Alabama through writing the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. This book makes a reference to how society views in the Great Depression (1930s) changed to be noticeably racist impacting the life of a widowed father and lawyer named Atticus and his children Jem and Scout. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee conveys that Atticus Finch is a great
The exotic pet trade is a booming industry, raking in millions of dollars every year. Everything from harmless leopard geckos to hyenas can be found in 30 of the 50 states. Of those 30 states, only 21 require permits to own these animals (Webber 2010). Indiana has just recently withdrawn its own requirement for permits, making 10 states that allow any kind of exotics without documentation (Kelly 2015). It is estimated that 15,000 big cats are being kept as pets in the United States alone, with more captive tigers in Texas than there are in India. Approximately 15,000 primates and 7.3 million reptiles are also being kept in the US (Webber 2010). What does all of this mean and, more importantly, what can be done about it?
Exotic pets threaten the safety of the community for they pose potential risks of injury and fatality. Natural animal instincts and lack of proper care can trigger destructive behaviours of animals, injuring their owners or other community members. There has been a total of 543 human injuries and 75 deaths as a result of exotic pets, including 52 year old woman killed by a Bengali tiger (http://channel.nat......). These numbers illustrate the risk that exotic animals pose to owners and community members. Keith Gisser, an exotic reptile owner claims he's “not the kind of animal owner neighbours need to worry about”, yet Brian Johnson Gisser's neighbour says on of the reptile owner's snakes escaped into his backyard (www.wkyc.com....). Injury and fatalities are a risk, endangering the community when exotic animals are kept as pets which is yet another reason why owning them should be illegal.
Holden tries to preserve his own innocence, and the innocence of others by not letting go of childhood memories and through his desire to suspend time. Holden views the adult world as corrupt and full of phonies. He admires childhood because of how it is free of corruption, and untouched by the adult world. IN order to preserve his own innocence Holden often attaches himself to childhood memories. The Museum of NAtural History is one of Holden’s favourite places . He mentions that his grade one teacher Miss. Aigletinger used to take his class there every saturday. While writing about the museum he says, “The best thing, in that museum was that everything always stayed right where it was” (121). This shows how Holden wants to preserve his innocence because he expresses how he likes how everything stayed the
“Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win.” The book To Kill A Mockingbird by the author Harper Lee is about a tired little town in Alabama called Maycomb set back in the 1930’s. Atticus, father of Jem and Scout is the same man on the street and at his house. He is very respectful and honest. Atticus gets appointed to defend Tom Robinson, an African American man who was accused by Bob Ewell for raping his daughter, Mayella. Even though there are several pieces of evidence that show Tom is innocent, Atticus knows he will not win, but that is no reason for him not to try. It makes sense for Atticus to defend Tom Robinson because he believes
Out of all the books I have read, To Kill a Mockingbird is my favorite. When someone told me that this book has been banned in many schools, I am perplexed because it does not seem like a “harmful” book. The author of this book, Harper Lee, elaborated on real-world conflicts, and proved an important point in the storyline: despite Atticus’s efforts and capable defense, Tom Robinson is found guilty. This forces Scout and Jem upon a sad yet true understanding, which is that the morals that Atticus has taught them may not be reconciled with the evils of human nature; there is a coexistence, no matter what. The event of Tom being found guilty refers to the main lesson of the book’s title. The author explains the sinfulness in killing a mockingbird,
Tom Robinson, a black man in To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the main characters in
Imagine wanting not a puppy, but a tiger for your birthday, imagine the expenses of owning that tiger and the dangers and hazards of owning that tiger. Do you really think it’s a good idea to get that tiger? No, it’s not a question. It’s a lot of work, and it’s also very dangerous. Exotic animals are not good to buy and have.
In Harper Lee’s novel To Kill A Mockingbird, a black man is wrongfully convicted due to racism. In Macomb which is a small town in southern Alabama Scout and Jem Finch spend their days trying to find out who the mysterious Boo Radley is. When their dad Atticus which is a lawyer gets assigned Tom Robinsons case. Who is a black man accused of beating and raping Mayela Ewell. Throughout the story Jem and scout learn you shouldn’t judge someone until you walk around in their skin.
“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear” (Nelson Mandela). Similarly, this idea is seen multiple times in the novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. In this book a young boy named Amir who lives in Afghanistan experiences a traumatic event in his early childhood that tests his bravery. Unfortunately, Amir proves in this stage of his life that he does not possess bravery. After this event, Amir experiences other small occurrences that call for courage and slowly make him more brave. Eventually, Amir returns to Afghanistan where his bravery is tested once again and the chance to redeem himself is presented. The main factors
Having exotic animals as pets is immoral and dangerous. They endanger the community, become sick, and their owners abandon them. Each State in the USA has a different law against exotic animals; multiple allow exotic pets, some allow restriction, and few do not permit exotic pets. Even if keeping an exotic animal is illegal, some one will go against the law to have what he or she wants. You may think ‘i can take good care of an animal. It will be better off with me,’ but it won't. Every country should have and exotic animal ban and realize the hurt one is causing to these poor
Primates and some other animals are captured from the wild. There is even a market for laboratory animals where licensed dealers sell animals to research companies. These animals can come from places such as puppy mills, an establishment that breeds puppies for sale. Some dealers even go to the extent of baiting animals in from the streets with meat and sedatives, and others will pose as animal control officers. Flyers for “Lost pet” and “will give to good home” are responded by the wrong individuals. Some of these suffering animals were once pets that were loved and treated like family. To know that a family member is being treated unkindly and has to suffer for something they do not deserve is never desired (Peta).
People wonder why they freak out and attack when they are meant to be in their habitat where they can run free and live their own life instead of being circus animals. Al-Khatib: Let’s not forget about circuses. Animals would never run away from the circus; in fact, they would most likely run away from the circus if they could. Unlike human performers who choose to be clowns or trapeze artists, elephants, bears, and tigers never volunteered to stand on balls or jump through burning hoops. Trainers routinely beat and whip animals in order to make them perform tricks over and over again that make no sense to them at all.
For these reasons along with many more, I feel like the cheetah should be protected at all costs. There are many reasons why the cheetah is known as an amazing animal, and there are also many ways these animals can be protected. With enough people interested and willing to help, I hope that one day we will have the cheetah population back and better than
They are then tossed with no care from the trucks onto the ground. This causes injuries and great pain. They are given no treatment, just left to suffer.” “The animal is brutally pulled out of the cage, then tied to prevent resistance. The animal receives a blow to the head.
