animal conservation zoos
What is your view on zoo conservation?
i get a little indecisive when it comes to supporting and detesting zoos. Do you really think that captive breeding will do anything in the future for endangered species? Is it even possible to eventually release captive animals into the wild?
Zoos are vital for education, enabling people to see beautiful wild animals that they would never otherwise get to see, and teaching them about the threats to their species, which hopefully encourages them to respect and protect animals. The money they bring in is used to pay for the animals’ food and care and to fund breeding programmes, as well as the employees’ wages. Some also goes towards funding the protection of animals in the wild, and their habitats.
The main function of zoos is conservation. Without captive breeding, many endangered species would now be extinct – for example, the golden lion tamarin, red wolf and Przewalski’s horse. I am not for a moment suggesting that we should stop trying to protect animals’ natural habitats, but if endangered species were to become extinct in the wild (which sadly seems quite likely in the near future), zoos will have preserved them for future generations, with enough genetic diversity that the possibility for reintroduction to the wild exists. In my opinion it would be unforgivable to allow tigers, pandas and so on to become extinct because they were wiped out in the wild due to hunting, habitat loss, etc., and people did not want to see them in captivity. Would you like to explain to your children or grandchildren that they will never see a tiger except in pictures, because you disagreed with zoos?
In any decent zoo, the animals always come first, and the public (and staff) second. In the zoo I worked at, some of the animals’ enclosures were so carefully desinged to provide the animal with cover that the public never got to see it, and cleaning was extremely difficult for we keepers. This was obviously for the animals’ benefit, rather than for people’s.
It’s also important to remember that animals in zoos are captive-bred – they have not been taken from the wild and locked up in cages. They were born in captivity and have known nothing else. They do not miss the wild, since they have no idea such a thing exists, and are certainly not unhappy – if they were, zoos would not achieve the breeding success they do (unhappy or unhealthy animals do not breed). One might even argue that they are better off in captivity, since they do not have to contend with the constant dangers of the wild – disease, injury, predation, starvation, etc.
It’s true that captive conditions in the past were often cruel, the animals being kept in cramped cages and so on, but today all good zoos are carefully regulated – the animals are kept in conditions as close as possible to their natural habitat, with plenty of space, good diets and immediate medical care if they need it. Everything possible is done to ensure that they don’t get bored – environmental enrichment is found in all good zoos. The animals will have scenery in their enclosure, things to play with if they’re a playful species, and problems to solve in order to get their food, rather than it just being dropped in front of them.
In today’s world, zoos are nothing short of essential.

Avoid plagues
The purpose of this article is to answer the question, “Which MLM business can be run online?” The sad fact is that the majority of MLM companies teach their distributors to do business the old fashioned way. Which is; cold calling prospects; buying leads; making a “warm list” of family and friends; holding home and hotel meetings, etc. These are the same methods of recruiting that were taught 30 years ago and that caused thousands if not millions to fail.
Question: Which MLM business can be run online? Answer: All of them. That’s right, every last one. Internet network marketers can join any MLM company and take it straight to the top. However, like previously mentioned, most MLM companies do not offer the online training necessary to compete in the brutally competitive world of online network marketing. Luckily there are generic lead generation systems that teach attraction marketing and offer extensive training to build any MLM.
My advice either find a system like that, or search for an MLM company that offers extensive online marketing training. (Hint Hint: I offer both). If you do not have a group of leaders to follow that have reached the goals or income levels you seek, you will be left behind. Don’t try and go it alone. You will find yourself crushed in the powerful wake of savvy Internet network marketers.
So… Which MLM company can be run online? They all can. However, not every single one offers the online marketing training necessary to compete. You have three possible options. Either 1.) Find an MLM/network marketing company that offers that training; 1.) Find a generic lead generation system that offers the online training you require, or 3.) Get crushed by the massive viral power of the Internet and those who have learned to manipulate it. The choice is yours.

iTunes help. Is there a way to have two computers run the same iTunes library?
My husband and I both have Mac’s. Mine is an iMac and his is a Mac Book Pro. I have all our iTunes library stored on my Mac and he would like to access it or install it on his Pro. Is there a way to do this?
what you can do is to just save all the music you have onto a flash drive
and look for the itunes folder then in the same folder the itunes folder was in drag it also to the flash drive
then just put it into the other mac folder
that the itunes folder was in your mac
hope it helps

Memory Almost Full $1.74 “Many years from now” must have seemed like an understatement to 16-year-old Paul McCartney, wondering if he’d still be needed or fed at the age of 64. As it turned out, all doubt as to the latter had ceased by his 22nd birthday (though few could have predicted he’d end up washing down those meals with the liquid pride of Seattle). As to the former? Now that McCartney, as of the date of this album… |
