Recommended: Loss of biodiversity due to habitat loss

Say, if the remaining California Condors are taken into custody and breed. What will happen to those animals affected by the condor? Another animal may eat the carcass that the Condor used to eat, and the cycle continue. On the other hand, we might see overpopulation, resulting in another animals reduce. Should we save animals based on whether it brings tourism dollars to a state or it is a popular food?

  • Sacramento Zoo Observation

    I visited the Sacramento Zoo during the afternoon of April 21, 2017. The weather was wonderful, sunny, warm, and there was a slight breeze. It got a bit more breezy the longer I was there. Visiting the zoo to observe primates allowed me to become a little more aware of how primatologists study primates. Even though I’ve been to many different zoos several different times, I never realized how many primates were associated with the zoos, as well as the variety of primates in the zoos. The Sacramento Zoo has eight different primates, all in different classifications, superfamilies, or subfamilies. While observing the Chimpanzees, White-Handed Gibbon, Mongoose Lemur, White-Faced Saki, and the Wolf’s Guenon I could see the differences

  • The Pros And Cons Of Animal Dilemmas

    759 Words  | 2 Pages

    There are plenty controversial issues about bully breeds and whether they are acceptable or safe dogs to own. In July a woman was mauled in her yard and killed by a dog in Montreal. Due to this unfortunate incident the mayor Denis Coderre created a bill called BSL (Breed-Specific Legislation) which was approved by the legislation. This bill states that determined by their breed or pitbull features “American Pitbull Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, American Bulldogs or any dog with strains of these breeds” will be unadoptable; they must wear a muzzle in public as well as a leash that’s 4 feet long and in most cases they will be euthanized due to their breed. BSL should be reversed because the real problem is irresponsible dog owners, the irresponsible owners will just switch breeds and any dog has the potential to hurt someone.

    It’s always fun to go with your friends and family to see cute and exotic animals when you go to the zoo, right? You may think that they have the best life having people to give them things that want and to protect them, but some of them are actually suffering just for our amusement from being in that small enclosure all day and all night. Animals should not be put in zoos because they can develop many mental and physical health problems due to the absence of some natural necessities and they are not always treated as nice as you think.

  • 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.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Reviving Endangered Species

    1394 Words  | 3 Pages

    Hank Greely, a Stanford professor who publicly supports de-extinction, acknowledges that there are important risks that should be taken into consideration before reviving lost species. Issues of animal welfare, health, environment, politics and morality should all be carefully deliberated on to determine that the good would outweigh the bad5. Many ethical drawbacks and arguments have been raised against the support of de-extinction alongside the arguments that many have against the process of cloning. A conservational issue that advocates have brought up is the idea that cloning extinct species will hinder other efforts to protect endangered animals from future extinction.XX According to this argument attention and funding for the protection

  • Why Is It Morally Permissible To Kill Certain Animals

    1262 Words  | 3 Pages

    There are many animals that have been introduced into an ecosystem, which have caused many issues to those ecosystems. These animals are called an invasive species, which can cause issues like killing the native species, as well as growing in huge numbers and pushing out the native species that live there, which brings up the question. Is it morally permissible to kill off certain animals in order to preserve an ecosystem? I do believe that is okay to kill certain animals in order to save the animals living in an ecosystem as well as other scientists, but there are a lot of people that believe it is wrong to kill a specific species in an area in order to save the rest of the animals that live there. If we allow that a certain species to harm

  • Zoos Should be Banned

    Supporters of zoos argue that they help to conserve endangered species, but in fact they are not very good at this. Even the world famous panda-breeding programme has been very costly and unsuccessful. Also, zoo life does not prepare animals for the challenges of life in the wild. For example, two rare lynxes released into the wild in Colorado died from starvation even though the area was full of hares, which are a lynx’s natural prey.

  • Human Impact on the Survival of Wildlife

    1417 Words  | 3 Pages

    Everyone’s all seen those wildlife shows on tv. The shows on National Geographic and such, showing animals in beautiful environments, everything lush and growing and nothing at all wrong that could threaten these creatures and places. But, have anyone seen the other side? The side where all these beautiful creatures and plants starve, are decimated by predators that have never been there before, and sometime even become poisoned by their very own homes and habitats? Of course no one has. That doesn’t mean that its not happening. It is happening, and its happening everywhere. And guess who is to blame? People. Society. Humans as a race pollute the environment, hunt animals simply for their parts, fish way more than humans will ever need just for the sake of money, introduce new species to new places for our own gain, and even purposefully destroy entire regions just for human expansion. And its starting to take its toll. While it is true that nature is constantly in flux and certain species come and go, humans are causing more species to disappear in the past few hundred years then nature has ever caused since the age of the dinosaurs, and therefore it is up to humans to repair the damage caused, be it cleaning the environment and habitats of these creatures, or taking more direct action to protect and preserve the species that are on the brink of extinction.

  • The Zoo and Its Benefits

    544 Words  | 2 Pages

    If more people are aware of new animals on the endangered species list, there is more of a chance that researchers will get more funds. Zoos also create habitats for animals on the verge of extinction where otherwise there would be none. There is some controversy between zoos and endangered species. Because of the limited gene pool of a species, the variation is greatly limited. This will –as an end result- lead to inbreeding which will create mutations and defects in the offspring.
