[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The purpose of this proposal is to examine the change in attitude of children who are told the truth about why animals live in zoos. Exposure to animals within a zoo setting is typically the first association children have with species beyond the domestic dog and cat. Giving them a truthful understanding of why wild animals are held in captivity for human enjoyment even though it serves as a tremendous detriment to the animal's physical and psychological well being is the first step in getting children interested in the humane treatment of animals at a very young age. Expectations of this qualitative research questionnaire include a change in attitude from the zoo being a fun place to see wild animals to one of sadness that wild animals are forced to live unhappy lives in unnatural surroundings just so people to look at them.

Vicious Dogs And Ownership
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Dogs are considered to be the first animal ever domesticated by humans; bones found in campsites dating as far back as the late Stone Age have been a common discovery. Indeed, the remains of these dogs resemble at least five different varieties of the pets we know today. It is thought that the wild dog, being a scavenger, loitered around the campsites of hunters some one hundred thousand years ago; the hunters may have realized that pups raised in the camp became accustomed to their human companions while still maintaining their ability to hunt. Consequently, the dogs were allowed to participate in the chase and partake of the feast at the same time, ultimately being transformed into the rudimentary form of canine companions known today. However, the camaraderie and respect between man and dog born out of that natural progression has not effectively maintained its presence throughout the recent past, with dogs becoming the victim of human irresponsibility and mistreatment. This breakdown in admiration and affection from man's side has caused certain dog breeds to suffer the wholly unjustified and broad sweeping condemnation of being labeled as vicious.

What Moral Duties (If Any) Do Humans Have Towards Animals?
[ send me this paper ]
