Life of Pi Journal Response

The narrator of this book has his own view about zoos. He tries to make it seem as if his view is absolutely true and is scientifically proven and that he is 100% politically correct. fit in to him a zoo to an animal is care a al-Qaeda to a human. But I totally disagree with his view on the zoos. In the book the narrators view is totally opposite. He assumes and thinks that holding animals in batting cages is normal to them and they dont mind He persuades us to think that animals are perfectly fine and find it normal to be unbroken in cages Animals handle universe in the same cages, its like their home, There is no place like home?Thats certainly what animals feel. According to him animals would rather live in a restricted area where his basic needs are met than live in an open area full of enemies and no guarantee of food. He is saying that a cage is an animals home How prat that be possible? How can an animal call virtually cage where its been stuck forever and ever wher e it cant go anywhere, call it home?? It seems as if the narrator I personally do not agree with the narrators view about zoos or any other enclosed dwelling for animals. We all humans know that animals do not like being kept in cages and in enclosed enclosures. Animals are territorial.That is the key to their minds. Only a familiar territorial will allow them to fulfill the two intransigent imperatives of the wild the avoidance of enemies and the getting of food and water. So biologically sound zoo enclosure whether cage, pit, moated island, corral, terrarium, aviary or aquarium- is just another territory In a zoo, we do for animals what we have done for ourselves with houses Now he is comparing the animals cages to our homes How is it possible to compare an animals cage to our houses? They are unquestionably vastly different.We cannot possibly compare a place like our home to an animals cage. Animals are meant to live in the wild in the forests, the desserts and so on Thats their home. Like our homes are our habitats in cities and country sides. Its not possible to call a cage, an animals territory its like a jail for him. A house is a compresses territory where basic needs can be fulfilled close by and safely (with the notable absence of a fireplace or the like, present in every human habitation).Finding within it all the places it needs- a lookout, a place for resting, for alimentation and drinking, for bathing, for grooming-etc. nd finding that there is no need to go hunting, food appearing six days a week, an animal will take willpower of its zoo space in the same way it would lay claim I disagree with the fact that the cages are the animals territory and home. good because the cage can fulfill the basic needs (resting, look out, eating, and bathing) that doesnt mean its territory. The animal is being forced to live in the cages and so it has to call for with the situation and cope with it. Where he says fulfilled by close by and safely he is wrong. The bars around the cage arent for safety for the animals simply for simply keeping it inside its cage.Its a safety for us How does this even make sense in the first place? Its essentially saying that, someone a human is forced to live in a cage where he/she will be supplied with food and calling that cage their home Their safe, have a place to eat, rest, lookout Its the humans territory and home now because it will stay there forcefully until it dies You can also look at this like this. You see a lady bug crawling around. So you take a jar and dream up it atop it. You give it food/water daily So basically now the jar is its home sweet home and its own territory? Thats what the narrator is basically saying.I disagree with the fact that animals can be compared to humans. The narrator cannot simply just start comparing humans lifestyles to animals. How can we possibly know whether the cage is like a home to the animals? The animals belong in nature they have their own habit ats and their own ways of having a booming lifestyle. How can we say that a cage is a comfortable area and a home to an animal? We do not know what animals think, we dont know what they are saying Even though we see the animals in their enclosures all peaceful and quite we cannot simply assume that they love it.Its like we were separated from our families and put in a cage to stay Humans and animals are very different. Humans are able to do things that animals cant They can build houses out of nature (with wood etc). Animals are limited. They get raised and are taught to hunt so they can eat and live In conclusion I defiantly do not agree with the narrator on the fact that animals love the zoo, and like being kept in cages/enclosures. I disagree with his view and opinion on zoos.
