A normal 14-year-old girl worries about impressing her friends, fitting in, and getting good grades. None of this came to the mind of Elizabeth Smart in her nine months of captivity. Elizabeth Smart was taken from her bedroom by Brian David Mitchell on June 5 of 2002. She was threatened, abused, and raped each and everyday within those nine months.

What most people do not understand is that most of these animals are broken on the inside.

When wild animals are kept in captivity it reduces their lifespan, it forces them to live in
Animals should/not be kept in captivity!

One of the key facts shows that negatives have outweighed the positives. The three reasons I wish to express to you and support towards my question today through a perspective against the matter
keeping of exotics animals in captivity as pets. Despite that regulations have been set nationwide, millions of exotic animals are kept as pets in the United States (“Ten Fast Facts”). There have been repeated documentations focusing on these exotic pets and the dangers that are involved. The animals, owners, and people near are endangered when these animals are taken from their natural habitat and kept in captivity as a house pet. Exotic animals should not be kept in captivity as pets because animals

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.

The Captivity Of Whales The sea is especially to the whales as the air is to birds as we know, we can not put the birds in the water and make them a life because each one of the animals created to be in their own environment only. Whales need that environment is to be free and can move up and down and side to side in the sea. The very nature of these animals makes them unique in the wild. Releasing any animal from wild life it not always a successful alternative for them. Some people think that
and appreciation of animals. issues that need to be addressed. Before animals were captured for scientific research, they were often viewed as simple-minded creatures meant solely for entertainment. As a result, they were treated poorly in early captivity, particularly in Ancient Rome where they were forced to fight in arenas until death. Circuses, which have been around for centuries, continue to use exotic animals that are not like domesticated pets such as cats and dogs. These wild animals often
First of all, zoos should keep animals in captivity, because if they are running wild around the animal park, they could cause all kinds of catastrophes, and they also could injure or possibly attack a visitor or park keeper. If the wild animals are running around on the loose, instead of being held in captivity, then they could possibly get injured, or in the worst case scenario, get lost. They could climb into the other animal cages, and possibly get into a fight with the other animals. If the
In the film, Madagascar, zoos are depicted as a sanctuary in which all the exotic animals are kept safe and are open for the public to view. But many would argue that zoos are inhumane, the caging of animals for our personal entertainment is unjustifiable. Those who believe that zoos are wrong and should be destroyed are animal rights activist; they believe that animals should be allowed to choose their own destiny. Those that believe that zoos are an important part of our lives are scientist and
Even some people think that the captivity is benefit for Whales in pit of reason, but others people think differently because it has consequences more than benefits. Some people think if they put the Whales in captivity will help them because as we know the sea exposed to pollution by some of ships transport that has oil tanker and factory pollution that they throw poisons items in the sea, and this will affect most of them and will lead them to death. Other reason is if they got sick or anything

Animals should not be trapped in a cage because it brings behavior issues, short life, and depression. Animals like the killer whale should be kept in captivity, here's why. According to Jerry Adler the writer of the article “Why Killer Whales Belong in the Ocean, Not Seaworld” he says, “Hargrove, who quit Seaworld in 2012, suffered numerous broken bones and nearly destroyed his sinuses.” which means that the killer whales were being aggressive that a person named Hargrove quit Seaworld because he
several documentaries on how poorly killer whales are treated in captivity, it drew me into researching more information on the treatment of Killer whales that are kept in captivity. I found several scientific journals, and articles on wild life facts of killer whales and I found published books on the treatment of killer whales in captivity. The information I found includes both wild killer whales and killer whales kept in captivity. With the information I found, I plan to prove the shortened lifespan
create fear, and obedience. Circuses that still use these animals need to be stopped, as it has been proven that it is unnatural, and inhuman to keep these animals from their homes. Studies have released research done on animals that are held in captivity and the amount of stress these animals demonstrate by their unnatural behaviors. For example, elephants have a tendency of “rocking, swaying, head-bobbing, or other repetitive movements” (Peta. para. 4). There has been video proof and evidence from
Marine Science per. 4 Should Marine Mammals Be in Captivity? Marine mammals should not be kept in captivity because they are living and breathing creatures just like humans. Marine mammals should not be traded or locked in a suffocating aquarium and they should have the right to stay in their natural environment. Whales and dolphins in captivity usually were separated from their families when they were very young. Marine mammals that are in captivity are placed in tanks that are the equivalent of a
the inevitable captivity of the indigenous people as well as of people who were considered ‘different’. A new literary genre had grown from the brutal clash between the native Indian settlers and the British colonists during King Philip’s War. Some of these Native Indian Settlers or Colonialists were undeniably captured and kept prisoner by the British and out of this involvement came autobiographical literature of these experiences. This became a new literary genre called captivity narratives which
