Mountdoom77 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I know this may be an odd topic but i thought it would be quite interesting :). From my point of view: Animals may live longer in captivity but i think they deserve to have open land and freedom. No animal wants to be in a cage, a zoo, etc. (I know i wouldn't :P).

Giordano Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 So we're talking about animals who live in the wild (such as tigers, lions, elephants)? If so then yes. They should be left in the wild but with some police patrol to stop poachers. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

Kevin_ Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 In the wild obviously, but taking some animals in captivity gives them a better chance of surviving. Some people dream of success, while others make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ember3579 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Having the ones such as elephants and lions and such in wildlife preserves would be a good idea. Hell of a lot better than in a circus! The ones that are pretty much housebroken though would likely do better under the direct care of someone though. Once you get past a certain point, the animal just can't survive without direct human aid. Sucks at times, yes, but that's the way of it. :-w Oh, and for the record, poachers need to be skinned, salted, and roasted as a treat for the animals they'd torture for money or fun. I've seen some of the sh** they've done, and TRUST ME, some of them deserve much worse. :evil: You never know which rabbit hole you jump into will lead to Wonderland. - Ember3579Aku Soku Zan. - ShinsengumiYou wanna mess with me or my friends?

Evil_Sabre Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 how do you know they dont enjoy captivity? while they are there, they have no predators trying to eat them, they have all the food and attention they need, all medical services incase they get sick, and they are living with animals of there own kind im not saying they enjoy it or not, just trying to point out some pro's of captivity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ember3579 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 That line of thinking is basically the same as the "Mama's Boy" way of life, with one difference. If they aren't left to fend for themselves early, then they never will be able to. Some animals would like to stay with their adoptive family, but some are guaranteed to want to escape. In the extreme cases, when they did, it caused some serious damage. That's some of the cons of captivity. :wink: I'm not saying throw the house cats and dogs out, just letting the real wildlife be free.

They live longer, no threats of danger, and they get a meal everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TotalTalker Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 The wild is their natural habitat, so I think that they shouldnt be kept in captivity. Captivity probably keeps them alive longer though, but its not their REAL home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Led-Zeppelin Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Captivity is good for extreamly endangered species for the breeding programs that alot of zoos run. Trading with other zoos to keep the gene pool diversified to prevent related animals breeding. The fact that alot of animals habitats are being destroyed means soon the only place we will be seeing them is in captivity unless we do something about it.

Giordano Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I also want to add, that I think we shouldn't remove the animals in captivity to the wilderness since they wouldn't be used to it. However we should stop getting animals from the wild for zoos and attractions. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

limpbizkit Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 It would be great to see these in there natural habitat. but all the deforestation and that is damaging there habitat so i think there best in captivity.
