I would argue the article “Do Elephants Belong in Zoos?” by Jeffery P. Cohn is effective because he employs pathos to move his audience to action, he presents evidence in a logical way, and he fairly evaluates counter arguments. The article first starts out by saying how elephants in zoo captivity do not have enough space to roam around. Then it goes into how zoos are getting rid of their elephants, because they don't have enough space and the visitors are getting very upset that they don't have

Comp I April 16, 2014 Zoos are Prisons When I was a child I loved going to the oversized Fort Worth Zoo, but now I am older and more aware of the truth about zoos. To the general public, zoos give the impression that they are there to educate and preserve endangered animals while performing beneficial research, but that is not entirely true. The actual truth behind the scenes of most zoos, not all zoos, is very sad and ugly. I will never visit or support another zoo now that I am aware of how

Have you ever gone to the zoo and wondered, “What is that animal thinking about? What really is goes on when we are aren’t here staring at them for hours?” The perception people have of modern day zoos is that they are there to save species, protect them from the real world, and just think they are happy as ever. Well if one were to sit down and do some research they would see that they have some much more ethical questions to ask themselves next time they walked into a zoo. But one thing one may not

contrastive places that I came across in which animal captivity is proceeded, wildlife preservation zoos are the most popular, and least considered as a confinement of animal freedom. Thousands of people visit zoos daily but rarely give a thought to the miserable lives that animals have to spend stagnating and sleeping, due to the less spacious and artificial residences provided. Some present enclosures in zoos have been changed to natural barriers, instead of iron bars. Yet the space that the zookeepers

what it is like for a vet tech to work in a zoo (and hopefully other wildlife). I would love to make a career out of working with animals you would not normally see every day. There is not a particular species I am interested in focusing on yet, but wildlife (caged or not) and exotic pets seems more interesting than the typical small and large animals. It is long road ahead to become a vet tech and (perform specialty, or have the ability to) work in a zoo, but I am willing to make the commitment. The

Zoos Are the Problem People often find themselves looking at and talking to their pets, but all too often their little friend doesn’t talk back, or at least not in a comprehendible manner. They could be full of joy or in deep depression caused by their captivity. In all reality, one can never truly understand these animals and what they feel and think; one can only guess. In the poem “Panther,” Rainer Rilke makes her guess pertaining to what an animal feels in captivity in his piece about a panther
