The modern Zoo has been around for centuries the first zoo was established in 1748. Since then zoos have evolved immensely. Many standard zoos offer a variety of activities for visitors but little has been done to offer animals proper care, sufficient space and variety. Traditional zoo enclosures rarely match each animal’s natural environment especially for large animals, as everything is just too small and too condensed. Zoos must reinvest and revamp into the structures and organization of their
Zoos, aquariums, and circuses, they are very popular with many groups of people, and enjoyed by many different groups of people. In the last few years, zoos, aquariums, and circuses have been under controversy, they should still house animals. These places should be allowed to house these animals as long as regulations are followed, the animals are in good health, and the people learn/ enjoy their time at the zoo or the aquarium or the circus. Zoos, aquariums, and circuses should be allowed to have
Animals should live free in nature. This is an indisputable. Some naturalists claim that zoos keep animals in captivity and therefore should be banned. They say that threatened wildlife can be protected in the nature. However, in July 2015, a dentist from U.S. shot and killed Cecil the lion. It was lured out of a National Conservation Park in Zimbabwe with food. First, the dentist shot with a crossbow, tracked for 40 more hours, then finished off with a gun. The hunter cut off the magnificent, black-maned

had in Canada had been lovely, and one day we found ourselves at the Toronto Zoo on an early November morning. The whipping wind and cold nipped at my face as I tightened my scarf and gloves. Small snow crystals slowly descended from the sky, landing in my hair and blanketing the ground. The zoo was nearly empty, for who would want to wander around the zoo in such cold, snowy weather? I, for one, did not complain about the temperature and was extremely excited at the idea of visiting the zoo, since
The debate over animal abusers’ punishment is an occurring problem in the U.S. today. Ordinarily it is rarely talked about because no one wants to deal with the fact that there is a problem. For centuries, some animals have been abused by means of: fighting, neglect and abandonment, shooting, burning by fireworks or fire, torture, and bestiality. In the year 2006, a study was shown to classify the percentages for that year based upon the type of animal abuse. Out of the 8661 animal abuse cases in

The son of a zookeeper, Pi Patel has an encyclopedic knowledge of animal behavior and a fervent love of stories. When Pi is sixteen, his family emigrates from India to North America aboard a Japanese cargo ship, along with their zoo animals bound for new homes. The ship sinks. Pi finds himself alone in a lifeboat, his only companions a hyena, an orangutan, a wounded zebra, and Richard Parker, a 450-pound Bengal tiger. Soon the tiger has dispatched all but Pi, whose fear, knowledge, and cunning allow
Zoos: Pitiful Dirty Prisons If you have ever stepped into a zoo, you have stepped into a prison in which the inmates are defenseless and innocent, the sentence is long, and the penalty is cruel and severe. Zoos are not made for educational purposes but for entertainment, they do not benefit animals but push them toward extinction. "Zoos range in size and quality from cage-less parks to small roadside menageries with concrete slabs and iron bars." (Zoos: Pitiful Prisons.) The larger the zoo and the
hear zoos mentioned? Visiting the zoo with your elementary class or family, curiosity being sparked about wild animals in your sight. Or you could imagine the vision of animals being deprived of natural habitat, being locked in cages or glass compartments, seeming sad or depressed, reminding yourself of the cruelty that is captivity. It is all is dependent on how you were introduced and exposed to zoos throughout your lifetime. Wild animals have been held in captive since the first modern zoo opened
Many locals and tourists will head to the Zoo in hopes of seeing animals one can only see in the wild. A trip to the zoo is supposed to be fun, entertaining, and what some say “a good learning experience.”These exotic animals are not put in their natural environments. Pushed behind artificial enclosures, and often times lonely. Thousands of people worldwide will pass hundreds of animal exhibits and many of these people won’t stand at the animal’s exhibit long enough to notice that something is wrong
Zoos have been in existence for centuries with records dating back to as late as the fourth century and they are places people can visit to see exotic animals that they would not otherwise be able to see. However, for as long as there have been zoos there have been people who are opposed to the idea of keeping animals in zoo settings. Many people do not support animals living in zoos because they do not believe wild animals should be kept in captivity or they believe many animals are not treated

Exploring Canada Just saying the word Canada conjures images of the mighty Rockies, snow clad terrain, miles of cedar, fir and pine forests and the great Niagara Falls. Canada is any adventure sports lover’s holiday delight, but there is more to the country of mountains and snow, than meets the eye. A holiday in Canada throws up many exciting opportunities to both the seasoned and the occasional tourist. Why Canada? The more logical question would be, why not? Tourist attractions in Canada have everything

Pi's family owned the nearby zoo that was called the Pondicherry Zoo it was the only zoo in all of India. They named it the Pondicherry Zoo after the town they lived in. All the people and animals in the zoo knew Pi very well. Pi Patel was the only visitor who came to the zoo that was able to feed the animals.

Since the 1960’s, the main sources of immigration to the West have been from Africans. The major reason for the influx has been the economic opportunities and security. In the last decade, Canada has been very open to immigrants and shown that numerous opportunities are available to anyone who cares to listen. Canada has the world’s best reputation internationally as a place to do business and live for the fourth consecutive year, according to the annual survey by Reputation Institute, an international
adventure. They don’t believe that Pi survived on a lifeboat with a Bengal Tiger for 227 days, but the men do not know where Pi came from. Pi, his family, and the remains of the zoo were moving from India to Canada when their ship sank, leaving Pi and a tiger, Richard Parker, the only survivors. Pi grew up in a zoo and lived a very religious life, and because of his knowledge of both, Pi was able to survive his journey, even with a Tiger, and kept a hope that they both will survive. Pi and Richard
today are threatened with extinction. The Vancouver Aquarium has joined forces with zoos and aquariums around the world to try and stop hundreds of species from vanishing forever in a global effort called Amphibian Ark (AArk). AArk’s goal is to raise awareness about amphibian vulnerability and rescue at least 500 of the most threatened species. These species will be protected and bred in secure facilities at zoos and aquariums until the animals can one day be released back into nature. This was posted
