should zoos and aquariums exist?
history and background
zoos were created as private collections by the wealthy to show their power
the first zoo was created by Queen Hatshepsut in Egypt by collecting animals all over africa
many people around the world own an aquarium in their own house
thesis statement
zoos should not exist because animals are being kept in captivity, they are taken away for their homes which they have adapted to. Zoos should not be a thing because the animals quickly become depressed, ill and even frustrated
Aquariums should be banned because aquariums use chemicals to keep the waters clean but they also harm the animals.
specialized info
150 zoos and wildlife displays can be found in canada
At zoos and aquariums you observe animals and their behaviours
hook
"if you want to understand how a lion hunts, don't go to the zoo. Go to the jungle."-Jim Stengel
Have you ever asked yourself, "are zoo and aquarium truly educational?"
argument #2-animals are killed when they are not 'useful' anymore
animals that are old and look sad are more likely to be killed and replaced with younger 'happier' animals to attract crowds.
some are killed because their population is really big but killing them can cause extinction
zoos feed the dead animals to the other animals
argument #1-animals are in captivity
cages
animals were built to be in large spaces.
animals are deprived of companionship, they don't interact with other animals like they are mean't to which can seriously harm their minds
they do not move around lots which can cause them to put on weight and get ill.
argument #3-
workers go out to the ocean to capture all kinds of wild sea life and take them in to captivity. while they are capturing the animals it puts them in to shock which can kill them.
the water at the aquariums is filled with chemicals causing their skin to peel off and even make them blind
fish and other animals don't end up living long and the workers keep their bodies in the water causing the water to get infected and putting other animals at risk for getting sick
