Should zoos and aquariums exist?
Hook
Do you think zoos and aquariums should exist and be able to trap animals in there?
46% of animals captured are for the money from visitors not to help the animals or humans with research.
The average medium-sized zoo has about 168 different species and the average medium-sized aquarium has about 394 different species.
Thesis Statement
Zoos and aquariums shouldn't exist because it helps animals die and suffer from being taken away from their family.
When zoos and aquariums have been around, it has given animals stress, through the amount of people visiting and pounding on the glass.
Specialized Information
Lots of zoos and aquariums have been built for science and research but also harm animals.
Animals kept in zoos and aquariums still need what they would need as if they lived in the wild still.
More tigers are kept in captivity than kept in the wild.
Argument #1 : People could get hurt
While transporting animals some could be dangerous and hurt humans.
Some could be dangerous and extra wild from the environment in the past.
Some people could get some contagious diseases from some of the wildlife.
History & Background
Egyptians and Aztecs have captured wildlife in the early 1800s for people to learn about them which has harmed them because the people didn't take care of them well, they still needed to learn how.
The people from Egypt have captured animals since 1480 B.C. and sent them away into a land called punt.
The oldest considered zoo is called Schönbrunn Zoo from Vienna, Austria in 1752 A.D.
Argument #3 : Animals are taken from their families
Animals have families too, and most of the times they like being with them so they become sad.
After being taken, it causes stress and negative behavioral effects.
When separated it acts like a new species and lives in sadness.
Argument #2 : Animals could get hurt
If an animal is getting released back into the wild it will be to used to the food and water given to them so they often die.
Animals have small cages some of the time and that can hurt their mental health.
Zookeepers often mistreat the animals.
