1. Program and Context:
a. The program I am working with will be the Petting Zoo put on by the National Exchange Club every summer from the end of May to the beginning of summer. This program started in the 1980’s and it has evolved drastically over the past few decades. They don’t have personalized website for their branch, but they do have a website within The National Exchange Club main page. There website is: http://www.nationalexchangeclub.org/category/wisconsin-upper-peninsula-district/fond-du-lac-wi/.

There is a donation box where many anonymous donations are made. Sometime, there are people who write checks and make very generous donations. The donation box money is used for upkeep and to help feed the animals. These community members who are involved and interested in how the community is shaped would like to know that their money is being put to good use. Cristo Rey Ranch supplies the animals for free every year. They also give money for the medication the animals need and they also supply the employees for the year.

Cristo Rey Ranch is in charge of all the logistics. They keep the records and they are in charge of payroll. This is all donated time but the ranch. This is another nonprofit that takes in animals that have been abused or abandoned. The animals they have are sometimes in rough shape and they need just a little bit of love. That is another reason why the Exchange Club and the community is glad that they have partnered together. Cristo Rey Ranch would want to see that same things in an evaluation as everyone else. They want to make sure everything they do is being done properly and the outcomes are positive.

  • Trouble at City Zoo Case Study

    3705 Words  | 8 Pages

    This paper reviews and analyzes three main issues with the first one being leadership. Other sub-issues involve lack of vision, coercive leadership style, using taxpayer’s money for personal benefit and irresponsible top management. The organizational structure, mixed communication, and no clear indication to who to report to is the second. The third being communication, this paper tackles lack of the ability to speak about the actual problems in fear of being ostracized; if you’re not with us; you’re against us. We suggest a solution based on our SWOT analysis, star bursting, brainstorm, mind map, and rational decision making tool. With the use of these five tools we hope to help solve the problem at hand by making the city zoo a more engaging and dynamic experience for both employees and the public.

  • Analysis Of Zoos Are Not Prisons: They Improve The Lives Of Animals

    816 Words  | 2 Pages

    Considering the many challenges animals face in the wild, it is understandable that people may be eager to support zoos and may feel that they are protective facilities necessary for animal life. In the article “ Zoos Are Not Prisons. They Improve the Lives of Animals”, Author Robin Ganzert argues that Zoos are ethical institutions that enrich the lives of animals and ultimately protect them. Statistics have shown that animals held in captivity have limited utilitarian function resulting in cramped quarters, poor diets, depression, and early death for the animals thus, proving that Zoos are not ethical institutions that support and better the lives of animals as author Robin Ganzert stated (Cokal 491). Ganzert exposes the false premise in stating

  • Ethics of Zoos

    868 Words  | 2 Pages

    There are many places where people can go to see live animals such as aquariums, zoos, and safari parks. A pleasant way to define a Zoo is to call it “an establishment that maintains a collection of wild animals”. (Google def) Another way to say that is a facility in which animals are “enclosed in cages for public exhibition”. I believe zoos are ethical; however, changes need to be made to eliminate problems I have discovered. In this argumentative essay, I will be arguing the ethics of zoos and certain problems that need to be addressed that people are not aware of. Zoos are great places to take the family out for the day to have entertainment; however, problems such as captive breeding, length of life, and animal stress need to improve.

    At the beginning of this course we tried to define the word spectacle, we came up with such ideas as catches attention, large, inauthentic, wide coverage, etc.(first day class) finally noticing that it is difficult to pin point the exact definition to a spectacle. For this research paper I decided to focus my research and analysis on Zoos and how they have become spectacles in today’s society. I will analyze the zoos myself, as well as relate the spectacles of zoos to some theories such as Umberto Eco’s hyper reality, and Jean Baudrillard’s theory of Simulation. I will end by focusing on some specific instances with the idea of animals the spectacles for human enjoyment.

  • Zoo's Efforts to Help Conservation

    1303 Words  | 3 Pages

    Since approximately 1250 B.C., ancient Egyptians had created and practiced the capture and display of animals in what are now known as zoos (Fravel). Records describe such exotic animals as birds, lions, giraffes, and tigers in captivity (Fravel). Since then, zoos have continued to entertain millions with the exciting chance to view exotic animals up close and personal. Even in ancient Greece, exotic animals were on display in fighting arenas, and in enclosed viewing areas. Originally in America, zoos were just created so that royalty and the wealthy could flaunt their exotic animals to the public (Leolupus). Today, with species threatened and habitats disappearing worldwide, zoos are serving a new purpose other than the mere exhibition of animals – conservation. (Fravel). When you think of a zoo, you either think of a fun, entertaining place that provides close-up and exciting exhibits of wild animals that you would otherwise never get the chance to see, or a place where people keep suffering, unhappy animals captive just for entertainment and display. However, despite whichever view you hold, and despite the stereotypes, some zoos have evolved to serve alternative and helpful purposes. Although some zoos face controversy due to allegations such as lack of space and quality care, neglect, and cruelty, some zoos have programs specifically designed to help and protect animal species. For example, these zoos have programs that help such conservation efforts as breeding.

    Death, abuse, confinement- three of the adjectives that can be used to accurately describe the lives of animals used in circuses. These animals range from domestic animals, such as dogs, to animals usually found in wild communities, including elephants and big cats. Despite the ease with which they seem to perform, circus animals are forced to learn and execute painful and confusing acts. Because of the inhumane conditions in which circus animals must live, animal-free circuses should receive more support than their animal-using-- more like animal-abusing-- counterparts.
