The Stripes Will Survive Summary

One can see the author also uses another persuasive technique called loaded words, it is used to show proof that most animals are born in the zoo. Moreover, when the text talks about zoos it states, “Last year alone, AZA member institutions supported 1,400 field conservation and associated educational and scientific projects in over 80 countries worldwide” (976). It is important to note that the quote shows that zoos play an important role in conserving endangered

In the article “The Stripes Will Survive” by Jacqueline Adams, the author explained what zoo have done to prevent animals from going extinct. First in the story there are siberian tigers named Danya and here twin sister Dasha. They wouldn't even been born if the tiger species weren't so rare. At the Cleveland Metropark Zoo they are trying to help the siberian from going extinct.

These days more and more species of animals are going extinct. The zoo’s are trying to protect more animals by keeping them safe and helping their species repopulate. In The three articles it suggests how the zoo keepers try to help keep animals safe. In the article The Stripes Will Survive, It tells the story of Danya and Daysha.

“Stripes Will Survive,” “The Zoos Go Wild,” and the video, “Behind the Scenes at the National Zoo’s Lion Cub,” they all claim the same thing; Animal enclosures should be made as realistic as possible. “The Stripes Will Survive” is about a Siberian Tiger family living very comfortably in Cleveland. For example, the passage says, “The tiger family seems comfortable in Cleveland, where the weather is similar to that of their natural habitat in Eastern Russia.” My evidence proves that a realistic habitat that is similar to their natural one is important to the tiger family, because it makes the tigers more comfortable.

First off, we are going to look at the short excerpt "The Stripes Will Survive", dissecting information as to what role the zoo plays. We can look at the facts stated in the article, like how Zoo's actually helped start the Species Survival Program (SSP), to help the animals endangered. That all in it's self is a huge perk of zoo's. Fighting for what is right even though these animals are not homosapian. Proof of the progress made after implementing certain tactics are stated right in the text. Saying "Rangers patrol for poachers, and educational programs help the local people

There are many animals that are endangered of habitat loss and the zoo provides all animals health and safety. As learned in class, when species of pant and animals go extinct, many other species are affected. Something important about the zoo is that is a great way for children to be introduced to the wildlife and start learning about their environment. During my visit to the Los Angeles Zoo, I learned about the animal’s niche (the role an organism has in its ecosystem. Including: habitat, plus what it eats, how it eats, what it eats it,

The lecture mainly contradicts the information given in the reading passage stating that the zoos are the essential one to the modern culture and provides adequate education, whereas the lecture says that the zoos are only good for entertainment rather than the education.  There are various points discussed in the lecture to cast the doubts in the reading passage.   Firstly the speaker tells about the animal safety.  The speaker says that the death of red panther arises a question about the safety, whereas the author has mentioned in the passage that the animals are treated well.  

People don’t believe that zoos are good for the world but what they don’t know is that if there are animals that are going to be extinct many zoos help them reproduce to get them out of extinct. “Zoos also use SSPs or known as Species Survival Programs as research tools to better understand wildlife biology and population dynamics, and to raise awareness and funds to support field projects and habitat protection for specific species”. AZA or better known as Association of Zoos and Aquariums believes some zoos use research

In recent years, the majority of zoos are advocating for conservation, education, and research, especially for endangered species. They believe their second focus is the entertainment of the guests. Species of wildlife are facing global extinction on a massive scale. In the past 40 years alone, 52 percent of the world’s wildlife has disappeared from the face of the earth due to habitat loss, poaching, and climate change (Henn, 2015). Many scientists believe we have single-handedly caused the world’s sixth mass extinction of animal species. They believe that this extinction crisis is caused entirely by humans. Zoo believe that they can help the animals and the excitation rate by holding them captive. According to a zoo director named,

Zoos claim to conserve species, but they frequently fall short on this promise. The zoo industry rationalizes the caging and breeding of animals by claiming that zoos enhance conservation efforts, but the facts do not back up this claim. According to a joint report by the World Society for the Protection of Animals and the Born Free Foundation, “with the best will in the world, and even with all their combined resources, zoos cannot hope to save more than a few of the animal species that are doomed to become extinct within the next decade” (Laws). According to PETA, reintroductions of individual members of

From childhood, most of us have fond memories of going to the zoo. We were entertained by the variety of animals that we were not able to see on a regular basis. Visitors of a zoo get to see exotic, and local animals of that area. Going to a zoo gives children and adults a chance to learn about different animals. Certain zoos also promote the conservation of endangered species. To people of all ages, zoos are just plain fun. This essay will support the operation of zoos based on their entertainment and educational value, and their ability to save some species from extinction.

The sun was shining, the sky was spotted with clouds, and the wind was whistling as it passed through the trees. Overall, it was the perfect day to visit the zoo. Smiling, happy children bounded beside me as I walked underneath the large, blue and yellow sign announcing “The Colorado Zoo.” As I walked onto the sidewalk, I looked out over the “habitats.” The big, colorful signs advertising the exotic animals “brought from all over the world!” Animals that were taken from their home, taken from their habitats, and taken to a world where they are put on display. Animals who are forced to live out their lives in zoos in unhealthy, degrading, and devastating ways.

Influential groups like the Humane Society and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) admit on their website some zoos are beneficial to animals in supporting conservation programs, participating in the preservation and restoration of endangered species, and promoting education about the importance of wildlife (“Position Statement on Zoos and Aquariums”). However, this statement holds under certain conditions. First, the Humane Society recommends zoos be organized around “a core mission that educates the public about the needs of the animals and the threats they face.” Also, zoos should treat animals humanely and provide care adapted to their physical, social and psychological needs (“Zoos”). Finally, the ASPCA indicates zoos should “participate in tightly controlled breeding programs” and their displays “should stress the themes of endangered species, wild habitat destruction and reduced biodiversity” (“Position Statement on Zoos and Aquariums”). Unfortunately, many zoos do not fall under these descriptions, but they can act on several factors with the intent to fill in their vast conservation function and thus work towards the animal welfare activists’ demands.

There is more than meets the eye when you go to visit a zoo. Zoos are painted as a fun and cheerful place people all over the world love to go and visit; they are simply for entertainment. These animals that make the zoo possible are stripped of their freedom and value of life so they can be used for entertainment by hundreds of people daily. The animals are thought of more like couches; sitting and waiting to be moved around from place to place until we grow old of them and “throw them out”. Leaving zoos to have a negative effect on the well-being of animals.

Ten iconic species worldwide were saved from extinction thanks to the help of zoos. Many zoos are built as last resort for animals near extinction or don’t have much numbers left in the wild to mate. The California Condor and Przewalski’s Horse were some animals who were on the verge of extinction, but was brought back thanks to zoo. Orange-Bellied Parrot, big wild cats, marine mammals, and even some amphibian are aided by zoos to help keep their numbers up since they are nearing the extinction statues. Everyday there is a mass extinction in the wild and many exotic animals are lost by the minutes. Zoos and Aquariums plays a very important role in the survival of many exotic animals because they educate people about these animals, provide breeding programs for endangered species, and is keeping its’ animals health while in captivity.
