Recommended: Discussing animal rights in the classroom

A lot of people think that animals that are allowed in classrooms such as a “ Class pet”, but really when you look closely at the facts, they can cause health problems and it can be very hard on an animal to live in a school classroom outside its natural habitat. I strongly feel that animals in the classroom are unnecessary. One of the first reasons that you should not have a class pet is because they can cause health problems for the animal and the kids. From an article called “ Leave animals out of the classroom”, it states that many animals die from their environment in the classroom. So why would you want to take an animal out of it's natural environment to put it in a classroom so it can have health problems and just die. From the …show more content…

From “Leave animals out of the classroom” says that it can be hard for an animal that is in classroom because , let's say that a certain animal needs to live in certain temperature, and that temperature is cold, well then the students get cold so the temperature gets adjusted and now it's warm in the classroom. Don't you think it would be hard on an animal that is used to being in the cold suddenly in the warm? So the temperature is adjusted to the students liking, and then it can become hard on the animal to live in the classroom. To add on to that , what happens if a power outage occurs over the weekend and an animal needs a light to keep itself warm such as a turtle. Then if a power outage occurs on a Friday night then it doesn't come back on till Monday then it has a very high chance of dieing every time that there is something wrong such as a power outage. So every break every weekend you have a chance of the animal getting killed or having a hard time in the classroom , and if it dies it will just get the kids that got really attached to the animal then the animal dies and then the kids will get depressed because of it's death. So if you just want your students to become depressed just because of a classroom pet dieing then no pets in classrooms is a great

    When I was little my teachers would ask me “Cora, What do you want to be when you grow up”? In reality, I couldn’t make up my mind on what I wanted to be ‘when I grew up’. When I was around seven, I went from wanting to be a Veterinarian to being an Astronaut, then back to a Veterinarian again. Around age 10, I wanted to be a dentist, even though I hate mouths. Then I wanted to be a Veterinarian again. Junior Year of high school came and when we started to research colleges and careers I heard that Premed programs were so hard to get into, and I wasn’t fooling anyone with my grades. I did some research on Veterinarians and I discovered that the Veterinarians don’t really handle the animals like I thought they did. Then I learned about Veterinary Technicians, they do so much with the animals. I

  • Zoos and Aquariums: A Barbaric Institution

    The practice of keeping wild animals in a zoo or aquarium is looked at favorably in most aspects but what we fail to realize is that we have placed animals which at one point lived freely in wide open spaces into captivity. Society is assuming these animals are happy to be taken from their natural habitat and placed in pens and cages because they have every need handed to them. David Suzuki asked “What gives us the right to exploit other living organisms as we see fit?” (681). Through selfishness, people have justified zoos and aquariums to be an educational benefit to children, to help them learn about animals, their individuality and where they come from. Zoos and Aquariums are for society’s personal entertainment not for the good of the animals and should be closed down.

    It is hard to show the positives of an animal being in a cage. Because an animal being in a cage brings to mind the word control. It has come to be a harsh word, almost to imply malevolence when in conversation. However, the word control can be interpreted differently. As in, when one controls something, they are able to have a grasp upon it. Upon closer examination, one can interpret something more detailed, and maybe different entirely. Thus, a zookeeper, who controls various animals in sectioned areas, would rather want to simply understand the animals rather than purposely restrict them. For writers, to understand, to remember, to analyze, is to write. Their control is their works. For Edgar Allen Poe, a writer, his works try to help him

    Keeping animals locked in cages, bored and cramped up in such a small space is an awful sight to show the children. It creates an image in the little minds of children that animals are to be treated like they don’t matter. They say Zoos are a place where children can learn about the wild, exotic animals, but in reality it doesn't teach them anything only that they are meant to be caged up, which is wrong. Also, it is really painful to see the animals bored and lonely, so why should people keep letting them do this to these beautiful creatures. Animal captivity for entertainment should end to let them go to their rightful home.

    However, there is another side to the educational perspective. A critic of zoos, Yourofsky argues against the positive education experience others believe zoos provide, supporting his opinion with how the animals are in their unnatural habitats. Yourofsky writes, “one cannot learn about animals who are in an UNNATURAL habitat displaying UNNATURAL behaviors from the stress of confinement and lethargy of captivity” (Yourofsky). Hence, from this logic the educational experience is minimized because the animals are in an inaccurate environment, impacting behavior and differentiating from how they would truly behave if they were in their natural habitats.

    Animal cruelty is an issue that gets plenty of attention in the U.S. From all the commercials to the donation hotlines and tee shirts everyone in the states knows that it is a relevant issue, but what about testing on animals? It’s not as relevant or discussed as other forms of cruelty, but the truth is we kill thousands of innocent animals all for the hope that maybe a wrinkle or two may disappear. This is horribly insensitive and cruel and I really can’t believe that we could do this to such innocent and loving creatures. We have to accept that animals are not ours. Cosmetic testing on animals is not only cruel but illegal in several countries; innocent animals are constantly losing their lives for our vanity.
