Should Animals Be In Zoos?

Should Animals Be In Zoos?

Do you think animals should be in zoos? Personally I am strongly against it. Because did you know that in 1970 more than  90 Orcas were herded into a net with explosives and boats at Puget sound. Lotita is one of those Orcas and she has spent more than 45 years in the Miami seaquarium after being ripped away from her family.

Another reason is that animals become mentally ill and very stressed and because of that they die younger. The animals are also becoming obese because they don’t get enough exercise in their enclosure. Someone did a research and found that a Elephant only lived for 18.9 years if kept in a enclosure but a Elephant that lived in the wild lived for 41.7 years! That's almost double the time that the Elephant in the enclosure lived for. And that's not all the suffering.

Please just listen to me a little while longer, I beg you. What happens next is going to shock you. You know when you go to sea world and those sorts of places and you see the animals doing tricks but you didn’t think that they trained them with blow torches and electric prods right? Well they do. Another method to train/punish the animals is to starve them until they do the trick right! This is the definition of animal cruelty!

Zoos literally can control what the animals eat, when they eat, who the animals live with. Don’t you think that the animals should be controlling that? And sure the zoo has a safe place for the animals to live but it’s fake. It’s not their true place to live. It’s not their home.

So please hear my final call of desperation to free the animals in zoos and let them be them. And not hold them back from what they can actually do.

The Monster Mash Dance

We are learning about the arts through the decades and we are looking at the 60's dance and music. This is the dance from the 60's we had to learn. The song is monster mash by Bobby Boris Pickett. I wasn't there on the day they did it so I'm not in the video but the rest of my group is. I hope you enjoy it.

Dr Suess

Theodor Seuss Geisel/Dr Seuss was born on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts When he was 18, he left home and went to Dartmouth College, where he became the editor in chief of its humor magazine. When he and his friends were caught drinking in his room one night, and in doing that he was breaking the rules, so he was kicked off the magazine staff, but continued to help it using the fake name Seuss. Dr Seuss attended Oxford University in England, with plans to eventually become a professor. While at Oxford, he met his future wife, Helen Palmer, whom he married in 1927 In October 1967, Helen, who was suffering from both cancer and the emotional pain caused by an affair Geisel had with their longtime friend Audrey Stone Diamond, committed suicide. Geisel married Audrey the following year. Theodor Seuss Geisel, best known as Dr. Seuss, died on September 24, 1991, at the age of 87, in La Jolla, California. Dr Seuss is famous for his children's books sold all across the world. My favorite books that I have read are - One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, Green Eggs And Ham, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut, The Lorax, Horton Hears A Who.

My 60's Fashion Statement Model

This is my 60's Fashion Statement model. She has silver go-go boots because everyone wore go-go boots and a baby blue long-sleeve mini shift dress because that was in fashion back then. Topped of with big hair this model is a true 60’s chic.
