Hi Aria! I agree with you that the best scenario is that animals are out in the wild where they belong unfortunately, this is impossible for many species. Many animals do not have homes due to deforestation from humans. With the issue of climate change growing many animals such as polar bears are facing extinction in the wild and the only way they…Read More

Hey paul! I really enjoyed reading this post. It made me have a new outlook on zoos and I realized how much they help endangered species and to educate people on different animals. Here is an article more on how zoos are helping! https://www.globalanimal.org/2016/02/25/are-zoos-good-or-bad/71442/

Hey Pauline,
I thought your post was very thorough in how zoos are very beneficial. You presented numerous positive impacts of zoos that I can totally understand. However there are a lot of cases where animals in zoos were very mistreated that you simply cannot avoid like Harambe. Take this article for example that gives multiple examples: (https://www.lcanimal.org/index.php/blog/entry/five-tragic-zoo-incidents-that-didn-t-have-to-happen).- Graham

Pauline commented on the post, Plastic Pollution
Hi Katie! I completely agree with you that plastics have become a major problem in our oceans! I found this organization that is trying to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage patch up to 50%!!! I hope you like looking at it! https://theoceancleanup.com/

Hey Pauline, first I wanted to say that I loved your article. I think it is so incredibly important to talk about this huge problem we as humans are facing. I just want to ask how can we find an easier more efficient way of recycling? Another question i have is how can we educate the people, not only making them aware of what is happening in our society, but how it will eventually effect the entire planet? I read this article that gives basic ideas of how we can educate other people of the importance of not only recyling but keeping our enviroment clean and healthy.

Dear Pauline,
I am glad you to decided to write and tell about such a major topic, I believe it’s so important for people to know that we ourselves have been polluting our beautiful ocean. Poor sea animals have been killed due to all the plastic waste that is thrown into the water.One sentence that stood out to me was “According to seeturtles.org many sea turtles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish and eat the plastic bags.” This stood out to be because this means that due to cruel humanity throwing waste like plastic into the ocean, poor sea turtle’s mistaken it for food and end up having their digestive system blocked, causing them to die.
I greatly appreciate you writing about this sensitive topic, your words should be heard and spread. I believe this is a very important topic that should be continued to be addressed, I look forward to seeing more of your writing.

Hi Pauline,
I really enjoyed your article and respect how you wrote from the opposite side than the majority of zoo articles on the internet do. You found the beauty and positivity in zoos and revealed how they can be beneficial to endangered animals which is something not a lot of people understand. I found another article that provides information on how zoos can act as a vital conservation lifeline for some of the world’s most endangered species: https://medium.com/taronga-conservation-society-australia/why-the-world-needs-good-zoos-more-than-ever-fc098b575a0e
