Ever since the beginning of time, we have been trying to control these wild beasts. What happens when they're not there to finish the life cycle? EXTINCTION.

The world stripped of human intervention was created by God to be a magnificent place, which glorified God. We, as beings made in the image of God, were given dominion over the earth. However, where does our rule become unjust? Where do we overstep our boundaries? Throughout history, humans have strived to gain ultimate control of a planet they did not create. Some aspects in nature should be left to its own devices to be beautiful and glorify God, their intended purpose of creation. Humans have no right to captivate orcas because we cannot provide for their needs and we force them into a world they did not want.

The author of this article, Michael D. Lemonick, discusses how some animals aren't able to be kept humanely in captivity. This article mainly focuses on elephants that are kept in captivity. Normally elephants roam up to, if not more than, 30 miles a day and they socialize with up to 20 other elephants a day. While in captivity, elephants are not experiencing their lives the way they should. If an elephant is in an exhibit that is too small for them, they can develop serious health issues such as, foot problems, arthritis, and even premature deaths. Most zoos aren't equipped to take care of elephants like they should. Lemonick discusses zoos across the country that have stopped exhibiting elephants altogether, due to severe issues seen in elephants.

This includes various celebrity protests from Steve-O and Remy Guillard and also the popular Netflix documentary ‘Blackfish’ uncovering the poor health of the animals and the consequences of keeping wild animals in captivity. Many become so frustrated that they kill the trainers and bully and become aggressive to the other animals around them. Therefore, my project will mainly focus on SeaWorld, as well as touching on various other forms of animal captivity to show how wide scale and immoral this problem is. This will include looking at numerous wildlife parks, zoos, circuses and discussing keeping exotic animals as pets.

I personally care for this topic because zoos are a fun thing to do with your family or friends. As long as they?re not hurting something they shouldn?t be, I don?t see why it is a bad thing. Today I will be arguing with Haylee on why animals in captivity isn?t a bad thing.

In May 2016, a critically endangered gorilla was shot dead by zoo officials after a young child slipped into its enclosure. The incident created an uproar, with the public debating either the mother’s parenting skills or the justification of killing in an emergency situation. The public outrage was of no avail, to an incarcerated animal who had no choice but to die at a place it never belonged. It is now more crucial than ever to question the relevancy of keeping animals captive in zoos and aquariums.

Zoos have been around for thousands of years holding thousands of different species for humans to marvel at. The first recorded instance of animals in captivity was in fifteen hundred B.C. in egypt where animals from all over Africa were kept. Zoos have been used as ways for people to view animals they would most likely never have a chance to see in the wild. This is why zoos have been so popular because everyday people have the opportunity to see animals that they would have never seen before.

In zoos many animals develop a condition known as 'zoo chosis' which is similar to dementia, as a result of this many animals show distress when they are in their enclosures and often swim or pace in circles. Many animals in captivation often become anxious or aggressive due to being continually watched by the public and having no space to hide, animals often react this way because to them being watched all the time can be predatory and

However; studies have shown that captive breeding has not been as successful as it was thought to have been. When performing captive breeding techniques and releasing these animals back into the wild, they do not know how to maintain life. To increase the chances of animals surviving after captive breeding is preformed; we must preserve and protect wild habitats. For animals to endure survival, they must also be trained on how to eat, defend themselves, find a mate, and uphold adequate shelter. Seeing that this can be very time consuming, and cost a lot of money, public funding and support is necessary.

This article informs the audience about the deadly dangers of having wild animals kept in captivity. It also explains why keeping animals isolated and away from their natural habitat with no freedom is inhumane. There is no educational benefit from keeping them away from the wild which is their home. It is not safe for the animals nor the people visiting the zoos. In the past few years, there has been over seven cases where a person was attacked or fatally killed by a wild captive animal.
