New forms of bullying came out of technology and people can get really hurt because it is so easy to hurt someone else feelings. You don't have to think about it or say it to their face. It has become a big problem.

Everyone would write papers on paper and not using a laptop. No one else had cellphones and now everyone has them. We do not need phones to learn, although sometimes it does help, but that is what laptops are for.

I have put limits of some apps like games and social media platforms. What it does is it helps me realize how much time I have spent on the app and then limit myself.

While it is a means of communication for being picked up after school, communication during the day about later events, and other things, school is meant to learn and phones steer people away from that.

Video games and phones are distractions for people for when they are bored but also entertain. They have become more desirable than being outside or something someone else.

It will suggest different things you might like based on what you have already searched, liked, and posted.

It is like a broken plate, you can glue it but it will not be the same. A fenced enclosure no matter how much space, is still fenced.

Good in the sense of not having to many in captivity, bad in the sense they are social creatures and need friends.

They just want to make money. They need to be forced by the government to shut it down with more regulations on the conditions of zoos. Sun, 06 Mar 2022 18:33:37 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168682?scroll_to=1595136 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168682?scroll_to=1595136 Why big zoos are often funded and have the resources to take care of animals, as their primary service, they will do a better job than private zoos like lagoon. Lagoon is an amusement park not a care center for animals. They do not have the space that these animals need in order to have a healthy lifestyle. Sun, 06 Mar 2022 18:33:37 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168682?scroll_to=1595129 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168682?scroll_to=1595129 Animal cruelty sparks public outrage and is not okay. Lagoon is taking large wild animals and putting them in concrete floored small cages that they cannot roam in. This is like putting animals in solitary confinement for the entirety of their life.

Animals are sacred of humans. When there are lots of people looking at them they get sacred and try to get away from them. Sun, 06 Mar 2022 18:33:37 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164489?scroll_to=1562114 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164489?scroll_to=1562114 Because of zoos technology in theory the mortality rate of animals should go down because of the vast access to medicine. However, this is not always the case. In some situations, some animals will live longer in zoos than they would in the wild. As an animal grows older they become weaker and slower, and are usually targeted by predators. By being in captivity they are safe. Sun, 06 Mar 2022 18:33:37 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164489?scroll_to=1562109 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164489?scroll_to=1562109 When visitors do not have an impact on an animals behavior it shows one thing. They are not wild. In the wild if people made a lot of noise or approached an animals territory the animal would run or stay and fight. The animals have emotions, they are just lost when they have felt defeated. Sun, 06 Mar 2022 18:33:37 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164489?scroll_to=1562106 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164489?scroll_to=1562106 Why animals get anxiety and get scared, in order for them to look less like this, studies have shown by increasing the amount of space an animal has to escape will make them less likely to escape. If an animal is cramped they will dart and run away. But opening a space up they feel less cornered and pressured. Sun, 06 Mar 2022 18:33:37 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164489?scroll_to=1562105 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164489?scroll_to=1562105 There are different kinds of material an enclosure can be built with. This has shown a "reduction in pacing and increased positive social play." Instead of concrete floors, low ceilings, and cramped spaces, it can be expanded to make it feel more like home.

Zookeepers try to make positive relationships with the animals to build trust. Animals are kept in captivity and still are usually bored and have anxiety.

Cows produce less milk and chickens lay less eggs.

Sun, 06 Mar 2022 18:33:37 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164490?scroll_to=1562089 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164490?scroll_to=1562089 While zoos want people to come see the vast collection of animals they have, geology plays an important factor. A very hot place like Florida or California should not have animals that are made for the cold like polar bears. While places that snow a lot should not have animals that are not meant for snowy conditions. Sun, 06 Mar 2022 18:33:37 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164490?scroll_to=1562085 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164490?scroll_to=1562085 Slowly zoos are taking away elephants from their zoos knowing there are better places for them. They have had several solutions. Waiting for them to pass away and simply not getting a replacement to finding a new place for them. Sun, 06 Mar 2022 18:33:37 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164490?scroll_to=1562084 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164490?scroll_to=1562084 No matter how much space you can give to animals, it does not compare to the wild where animals are free to roam wherever they want for hundreds of miles if they choose. Animals develop symptoms to being in such a small space. Just like people put prisoners in solitary confinement which breaks someone down psychologically, a zoo is a persons solitary confinement. A prison cell like the new enclosure as big as 3.7 acres is still not enough. They deserve to be on the outside.

Sun, 06 Mar 2022 18:33:37 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164491?scroll_to=1560336 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164491?scroll_to=1560336 The solution is simply giving animals bigger enclosures by widening the perimeter of their living space. The other solution to let them be in the wild. It can be implemented through funding from the government and from anyone wanting to help drop animal cruelty.

This is their solution. This is very cost effective. They just have kids participate in a simulation to scare them into driving safely and responsibly. It is feasible and very promising.
