...capturing animals is lack of freedom. The animals should be in the place where they belong. An animals staying in the cage seem kind of tortured. Of course, they are tortured and for sure, it is hard time for animals to stay in the cage for the rest of their lives. “When we lose the right to be different, we lose the privilege to be free” (Hughes).Wild animals are supposed to live wildlife, supposed to hunt and survive as they live their own typical life. Although animals in the zoo will be released by any opportunities however they will never be able to survive in wildlife. This is due to the lack of experience in wildlife and they wont be easily adapted to the new environment. Is not only freedom an animal, who being captive in a zoo, their chance for survival is no longer their control. Many people thinking Some schools organize school trips to the zoo, for educational purposes. Many people say that zoos are indeed educational. However in reality people spend only few minutes of their time to look at one animal, therefore there is nothing educational about. It is even easier to watch the same thing on TV or go online. Although some people claim that there is a quite natural environment in the zoo there is nothing natural about it. For instance, water animals don’t have the required amount of water, or birds cannot fly as much distance that they actually need. Some animals require privacy and seclusion, but this definitely is not happening in the zoo. As a result animals end up...

...accounts?” As you develop a research question, keep in mind that you will need to research sources to support your topic. Do not pick a one-sided question that will limit your research. Instead, develop a research question that lends itself to further exploration and debate—a question for which you genuinely want to know the answer. Try to pick a research question that is neither too broad, which covers too much, or too narrow, which covers too little. It should be broad enough to be discussed in a short research paper. |What is your general topic or area of interest? |Animal is the topic of interest that I have chosen. | |What is it about your general topic of interest that interests |The reason I chose animals as my topic of interest is because I | |you? |have always been so passionate about animals.

...Extinction is a natural selection process. Should humans strive to preserve a representative sample of all biomes or aquatic zones? Why should humans be concerned with the extinction rate? at least 150 words in length. Support your claims with at least two references to support of your position. Cite your sources. “Many anthropologists postulate that as Paleolithic people migrated to new lands with advanced hunting technologies, they hunted existing large animals to extinction, creating the first human-caused environmental catastrophe.” (Turk, J., & Bensel, T.2011) Human’s area species. We directly depend on thousands of other species for our survival, and each of them depends on thousands of others, and each of them depends on thousands of others, and so on. An extinction "event" occurs when the collapse of one species leads to the collapse of others. Evidence suggests that several "mass extinction events" have happened in the past that wiped out half or more of all of the species living at the time. We may be witnessing the start of another mass extinction right now. We don't fully understand the "web of life" upon which we depend for our existence. What would you do, if you depended on something you didn't understand to keep you alive, and one day, you noticed that it was changing into something else? Would you try to stop it from changing? or would you just wait to see what happens next? Extinction is a natural selection process. However anthropogenic impact has...

...wholesomeness. Halal is all about the place and the process used for slaughtering the animals and the condition those animals are kept in. Halal is now being recognized all over the world not only by the Muslims but also the Non-Muslims community. An example of how other countries around the world are adapting to Halal food is shown in Moscow, Russia. In Moscow the sales were $45 in 2004 and then increased to $70 million in 2006 and then to $100 million in 2008 (Muhammad, 2007). The growth is due to consumer’s perception of human animal treatment concerns. Russians purchased Halal food because they thought the products were fresh, safe and infection free and also believed that the Muslims won’t cheat them. In the Philippines the population looks for the Halal logo on the products so that they can purchase them easily. Malaysia consists of 3 different races which are the Malaya, Chinese, and Indians. 62% of the Malays are Muslim, 24% Chinese are either Buddhist or Traditional Chinese religions and 8% are Indians who follow Hinduism (department of statistics Malaysia, 2011). The Chinese and Indians don’t really pay attention whether the food is Halal or not. They don’t really know the benefits of the Halal food and they’re not aware of the fact that the products have to go through an inspection before they are allowed to be used. More Non-Muslims would prefer Halal food if they found out about health issues, animal rights and safety, environment, social justice and welfare....

...the second greatest cause of ill health globally by 2020. It is also predicted that billion* dollars is the amount of money the animal film industry will make in year*. What do these two have in common? Studies have shown that people become happier participating in nature and animal conservation activities. In Chris Palmer “Shooting in the Wild: An insiders Account Of Making Movies In The Animal Kingdom” Palmer reveals the business of creating a wildlife film to convey a conservation message and some of the darker tactics used in deceiving the public to emotionally be inclined to take action. This study will take a close look at how two documentaries “Arctic Tale” and “Grizzly Man” relate to conveying a message to save the animals and how it contributes to depression in humans and how they differ between their methods of practice. Wildlife documentaries and TV programs in America have increasingly become more sensationalized then ever before in human history. As people become more disconnected with nature and animals, more and more people are becoming depressed through their hectic lives and often yearn to be reconnected to the natural world again. However, the bond between humans and the wild are connected through the lens of a camera. As Chris Palmer has mentioned “During primetime in September 2008, more than 30 million viewers tuned in to Animal Planet, which is now seen in 94 million households in the United States and more than 220 million internationally.”(Palmer. Pg 5)...

...Discuss a solution to the problem of protecting endangered species of flora and fauna Florae purify our environment by performing photosynthesis, and faunae create diversity of our ecosystem. Altogether, they play a significant role in providing us a safe and sound place to live. Unfortunately, in recent years, many endangered species of plants and wildlife are gradually becoming extinct. Without these plants and wildlife, we global citizens will eventually perish. How can we help protect these precious flora and fauna? The solution to the problem lies in governments' measures of building greenhouse and imposing heavy fines for illegal hunting. We always take the diversity of flora and fauna for granted and never appreciate this gift mother nature offers. However, we must immediately change our indifferent attitude towards the conservation of flora and fauna to a positive, responsible one. Governments must allocate budgets on building greenhouses and training botanists, so the endangered species of plants will receive extra care. For instance, the seed conservation research centre established by a group of English botanists work on preserving any kind of seeds and duplicate their genes, so any kind of plants on earth will not be facing extinction. Besides following the steps of these English botanists, governments must also raise the public's awareness of preservation of endangered plants. For example, governments should design advertisements that encourage public...

...This single criteria helps placing the animal species in one of the two groups, the vertebrates and the invertebrates animals. So before a scientist or a zoologist begins to learn about the animal, he or she first decides, whether it comes under vertebrates or invertebrates animals. We will learn about the vertebrates and invertebrates differences by individually understanding the characteristics of each group. Difference Between Vertebrates and Invertebrates The following information on animals will help you understand the differences between each group. Which Animals are Known as Invertebrates? Invertebrates are animals that belong to a large animal group. These animals do not belong to a single sub-phylum like the vertebrates. The invertebrates are those animals without a backbone. Invertebrates are multicellular organisms and mostly form a colony of individual cell that function as one. All the cells in the colony have a particular function. They have no cell walls and many have tissues, except the sponges. Most of the invertebrates produce sexually. Most of the invertebrates can move except the adult sponges. There are many invertebrates that follow symmetrical organization. This means one can draw a line down the middle of the animal and the two sides will be similar like mirror images. Invertebrates are heterotrophs that feed on plants and animals. The invertebrates include the following animals: Phylum Porifera - Sponges Phylum Cnidaria - Jellyfish, hydras...

...For example near large water sources, such as, rivers, streams, and springs in the woods. They are unable to be self-sufficient due to being unable to produce their own food independently with photosynthesis. They must absorb nutrients vital to sustain themselves that is most readily found in woods or forests with water sources in or near by them. The fallen leaves and flowing water bring many nutrients to them through the flow of the water as well as the decay of the leaves that contain some of the nutrients of the tree it once was a part of. They are also capable of living inside plants and animals. Also aiding in the decomposition and fertilization, fungi help decompose plant and animal materials (i.e. waste, flesh, etc.). My hypothesis: I hypothesize that fungi grow in dark areas with water sources and other miscellaneous animal traffic due to the independence from the sun and animal traffic leaving waste and other materials as they come and go. Experiment: The experiment is to first purchase fungi and split them into two equal amounts. Once separated take the first half and plant them next to the flowing water source leaving openly exposed to the sun. Next take the left over half of fungi, plant them in a dark closed in area with the flowing water, such as a wood box flipped upside down. Once that is done set a total trial time of a week, checking in each day to see how they have progressed over the elapsed time. Expected Results: I expect that in my test that I...

...Do Animals Have the same Rights as Humans? Today millions of Americans and others around the world have pets. Whether it is a dog or cat, fish or bird, hamster or a mountain lion, owners love their pets. To many they are loved as one of the family and considered to possess the loving and functional qualities of a human. Unfortunately, any way these people like to view their animals, does not change the fact that they are still in fact animals. Animals do not possess the cognitive reasoning humans do. They will respond to a stimulus which can be used through classical conditioning to produce a desired result but the training of something does not give it value. Apart from the capacity of animals, there is something else that separates humans from them. If you believe in a soul or spirit that lasts more than this physical life then that is the main difference between animals and humans. I believe God made Man in His image and was given rule over the earth. This however does not mean that animals are to be treated without respect. Humans have a responsibility, being the dominant species on the earth, to care for the rest of our resources. For example, animals can be used to test psychological tendencies and effects of certain drugs or health issues. It would be much wiser to let the death of a rat help produce a way to save the lives of many humans. However, cruelty and inhumane ways of treating animals, usually for no reason, is a careless treatment of the gifts we are given...

...The Animal School: A Fable by George Reavis Once upon a time the animals decided they must do something heroic to meet the problems of a “new world” so they organized a school. They had adopted an activity curriculum consisting of running, climbing, swimming and flying. To make it easier to administer the curriculum, all the animals took all the subjects. The duck was excellent in swimming. In fact, better than his instructor. But he made only passing grades in flying and was very poor in running. Since he was slow in running, he had to stay after school and also drop swimming in order to practice running. This was kept up until his webbed feet were badly worn and he was only average in swimming. But average was acceptable in school so nobody worried about that, except the duck. The rabbit started at the top of the class in running but had a nervous breakdown because of so much makeup work in swimming. The squirrel was excellent in climbing until he developed frustration in the flying class where his teacher made him start from the ground up instead of the treetop down. He also developed a “charlie horse” from overexertion and then got a C in climbing and D in running. The eagle was a problem child and was disciplined severely. In the climbing class, he beat all the others to the top of the tree but insisted on using his own way to get there. At the end of the year, an abnormal eel that could swim exceeding well and also run, climb and fly a little had the highest average and...

...Philosophical Essay Sophocles once said that nothing in the world was more wondrous than man. Well I think the question is debatable so long as "most wonderful in the world" excludes heaven and all those ecclesiastical bodies. I do believe that humans are the most advanced organisms on the planet. We aren't at the very top of the food chain by accident. We are the smartest and really do have dominion over all over things on Earth. But, this is a double edged sword; although we are the rulers and have a partial right to most animals (like eating them for sustenance), we are responsible for their well-being. Whenever a natural disaster happens or something puts animal life at risk, it's our duty to help them. And whenever we do something that has a byproduct to the environment we are fully culpable and are required to do everything we can to right our wrong. I do believe that we are the smartest and most advanced organisms (at least as far as we know) and rule the animal kingdom; but our wonder may be outdone by the natural awe of nature. Like the power of a volcano or the full force of the ocean. To answer what we know as the truth, a classic answer would be God. But on a smaller scale we realize that we actually have proof for very few things. Can we really prove that what we see and feel aren't just figments of our imagination. There is a common theory of what if my red is your green and vice versa. Things like this we will never know or have proof of. Although we don't have conclusive...

...self-defense, and sexual reproduction are included in that list of important sensations. Just like the brain tells an organism when it is hungry, it also signals the body to react when an attractive being walks by. "The heart pounds, the muscles tense; he or she feels dizzy and light headed," (umkc.edu). The creature also usually feels an urge to attempt to mate. It is widely known, yet scarcely recognized, that -- despite race and ethnicity -- the same kind of people are strikingly attractive or unattractive to almost everyone. While this detail is acknowledged, the reason for it is typically unheard of. The truth comes from nature; the motive for a good judgment of sexual attraction is to have good reproductive sense. Humans, among other animals, naturally seek a young, healthy, well-reproducing mate. Likewise, organisms are repelled — consciously or not — by unsightly...
