This shows that zoos can save endangered animals like giant pandas. It has happened before.

• Marine animals often mistake plastic straws for food, leading to injury or death. All sea turtle species and nearly half of all seabird and marine mammal species have ingested plastic. 

• As plastic straws break down, they release harmful chemicals into the soil, air, and water. 

• Businesses can also choose to offer drinks without straws, or to provide straws on request. 

• takes hundreds of years to break down, and can contaminate water, soil, and ecosystems, harming wildlife and potentially human health through microplastic ingestion and chemical leaching.

I think the author was trying to say that animals sanctuary and other safer places are better for animals.

2.The bans are meant to be a proactive step in easing the burden that plastic waste has on our environment. But they also may make life more complicated for people in the disabled community who rely on these tools.

3.I believe the authors purpose was to tell us why the straws make life harder for people with disabilities cause some aren't able to get as much mobility as others.They should only let people with mobility disabilities use plastic straws.

2. Driverless cars were once just the stuff of science fiction. But in recent years, they’ve become a ­reality—and they’re now hitting the streets in a number of U.S. cities. Companies like Uber, Google, and Ford recently started testing ­hundreds of self-driving vehicles on public roads in Arizona, ­California, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and other states.

3. I think the paragraph is inform because it is informing us how a lot of different companies are starting to use self driving cars.

2.It’s recommended that teens get at least 1 hour of physical activity on most, preferably all, days of the week. Yet physical activity tends to lag during the teen years

3.I think this means teens don't want to exercise ,so they lack it and if they go to a trampoline park they can get all the exercise they need.

2.Kids face many new social and academic pressures in addition to dealing with emotional and physical changes. Studies show that teens on average spend more than 7½ hours a day on various media, including watching TV, listening to music, surfing online and playing video games. So it’s no surprise that they can’t seem to find the time to exercise or that parents can’t motivate them to be a3,ctive.

Once they get started, many teens enjoy the feelings of well-being, reduced stress, and increased strength and energy they get from exercise. As a result, some begin to exercise regularly without nudging from a parent. For teens to stay motivated, the activities have to be fun.

3.I think the author's purpose was to show how teens need to get off the electronics and exersize.

#2 From fender benders to a fatal crash, the self-driving cars and trucks now on the road have had their share of mishaps. But they're considered safer than conventional vehicles, and experts say they'll become even safer as autonomous technology matures.

#3 I think this paragraph is inform because it is informing you that they are considered safer and experts say they will improve the self-driving car

#2 The idea is that the cars with self-driving features smooth out the flow by driving at the average speed," Work said. "Simply put, when the cars ahead are racing toward a traffic jam, you want to drive slightly slower.

#3 I think the author purpose is that when you are approaching a traffic jam you have to slow down.

2.But for anyone unable or unwilling to abide by a soggy paper straw, a strong yet fully biodegradable one has been invented by scientists at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT).

3.I believe that the author's purpose was that people with disabilities can't use paper straws is because they are not bendable and could lead to a choking hazard and plastic straws are bendable and help people with disabilities move easier with plastic straws.

2. Supporters of straw bans say they are a simple step that can help reduce the massive amount of plastic waste in our oceans that can be harmful to marine life. Advocates also see the bans as a first step in a campaign to reduce single-use plastics and a means to compel consumers to think critically about the environmental impact of their buying decisions.

3. We need to not use plastic straws so we can not hurt marine life and effect their food chains. It can effect humans too if you think about it. Takes lots of time to decompose could take hundreds of years. Leading a build up of plastic waste in landfills and oceans.

2- New Scientist has previously reported how autonomous vehicles (AV) from Cruise, for example, have randomly stopped and blocked traffic and had a run-in with police. But details of other incidents with driverless cars have now emerged in letters from city officials

3- I believe that the author's purpose in this paragraph is informed. I think this because it informed the reader that the vehicles randomly stopped and blocked traffic and had a run - in with police.

Once they get started, many teens enjoy the feelings of well-being, reduced stress, and increased strength and energy they get from exercise. As a result, some begin to exercise regularly without nudging from a parent. For teens to stay motivated, the activities have to be fun.

2.How much are we trashing our oceans?

Melges, who monitors ocean pollution, told CNN that plastic straws make up a small percentage of the debris found in the oceans and other bodies of water.

3. It is not just plastic straws it is more like bottles and trash found in the ocean.

“Other types of straws simply do not offer the combination of strength, flexibility, and safety that plastic straws do,” Disability Rights Washington, a nonprofit with offices in Seattle, said in a letter it coauthored to the city.

For example, a dolphin was thrown from her tank after colliding with another dolphin while performing a trick.

Workers usually cover their burns with black zinc oxide, which matches the orcas’ skin and hides the wounds.

• Resting heart rate.

• Cholesterol levels.

• Triglyceride levels.

All of these are, of course, very good news for your overall heart health.

The good news is that all of these terrible things are super-easy to avoid! All you have to do is choose NOT to visit SeaWorld and ask your family and friends to do the same. You’ll be a hero for orcas, bottlenose dolphins, walruses, and other animals by refusing to go to any marine park.

Anyone who has visited a zoo knows the exhibits are a far cry from the natural landscape they are trying to imitate. Nearly all zoo enclosures contain fences, glass or other barriers for visitors to look through, which are inherently artificial. And the natural-seeming landscapes can sometimes be made out of astroturf, concrete or plastic.

Confinement May Alter the Behavior of Animals

The lack of space, unnatural environments and crowded conditions can directly affect the behavior of animals; most notably in the form of what’s known as “stereotypy.” Stereotypy is a condition in which non-human animals engage in repetitive behaviors with no apparent purpose, such as pacing for hours on end, wagging tails abnormally or picking their own fur. 

The structure of zoos increases the likelihood of stereotypic behavior due to a lack of enrichment, mundane environments and boring, repetitive schedules. This prevalence of stereotypy in zoos even has its own name: “zoochosis,” or psychosis caused by zoos. this article litterly explains every thing.

• Cuts and bruises

• Sprains and strains, particularly in the ankles, shoulder, knees, and wrists

• Fractures, most commonly in the arms and legs

• Concussions and other traumatic brain injuries (TBIS)

• Neck and spinal cord injuries, which can result in paralysis and even death

• Collisions when multiple people are on the trampoline

• Falling off the trampoline edge

• Doing a risky stunt, such as a flip

• Landing awkwardly

• Falling onto the springs of the trampoline

• Falling on the trampoline mat, frame, or springs

• Attempting somersaults, flips, and other risky stunts that go wrong

• Falling off the trampoline onto the ground or another hard surface

Types of Injuries

trampolines are safer now than when I was a kid. the memories, my kids aren't staring at a screen, and its exercise. trampolines are safer now.

Contrary to popular belief, fishes do not make good first pets for children. The needs of fishes are far more complex than the needs of cats and dogs, making it easy to unwittingly compromise their welfare or create elevated stress levels that can sometimes result in death. Simply over-feeding fishes, moving them or not paying attention to water temperature and acidity levels can have a disastrous result.

Fishes do not want to swim in circles inside a bowl or tank or be put on display like a painting. When we invite animals into our lives and families, it should be mutually beneficial. Fishes gain nothing from being kept in captivity ‒ instead they are deprived of all that is natural to them.

If you already have fishes as pets, you can help them by making their surroundings as close to their natural environment as possible, with plenty of enrichment, places to hide and as much space as you are able to give them.

Self driving cars can get hacked. Self driving cars use computer technology and computers can get hacked so the car can get hacked. Hackers can locate the vehicle and take control of it.They note that technology continues advancing, allowing these types of vehicles to require less human intervention. Still, that same technology also allows hackers to take advantage, for criminal purposes or simply for fun. This is why self driving cars can get hacked.

Breeding programs help preserve genetic biodiversity and help reintroduce critically endangered species into the wild. Having animals in protection helps make sure there is not a population crash. Zoos have helped save species from the endangered species list and many from extinction. That's how zoos are helping save wildlife.

1. Falling on the trampoline mat, frame, or springs

2. Attempting somersaults, flips, and other risky stunts that go wrong 3.Falling off the trampoline onto the ground or another hard surface

Causes of trampolines injures for kids under the age of 6.

Falling on the trampoline mat, frame, or springs. Attempting somersaults, flips, and other risky stunts that go wrong.

Falling off the trampoline onto the ground or another hard surface. The injures of kids under the age of 6 gets hurt a lot in a trampoline park.

I think the main idea is that they are trying to tell me that there are not many plastic straws left in the environment. One reason is that they are killing many animals every year.Another reason is that they can cause problems with pollution and animals and people.Last reason is that it is a problem for waterways.This shows that they are getting rid of them cause of the damage it can do.

Check equipment regularly for tears, detachments, and deterioration. Discard worn or damaged equipment if replacement parts are not available.

#2 self-driving cars have better transportation and access. For those who like not to drive or can't drive, self-driving cars are perfect. Self-driving cars can also get you to places fast and quick. they are also a help to those with disabilities and can't get to places as quickly. That is why self-driving cars can help get around quick and fast.

Zoos are very beneficial. Zoos help humans learn about animals so they can take care of wildlife and make the world a better place. Zoos helps animals soooo much they protect endangered animals like I said before there would not be as much animals on the earth. Some would die if they go back like sometimes animals have to stay in a zoo because if a animal cant hunt are run they are going to die. that's why zoos are beneficial.

#2 Self-driving cars are better for the environment. the gases are less used. self-driving cars use electricity. Fewer traffic jams save fuel and reduce greenhouse gases from needless idling. That is why self-driving cars are better for the environment.

Bikes, scooters, and skateboards all send kids to the E.R too.

50,000 kids go to the E.R for skateboards.

50,000 more go to the E.R for scooters.

In 2013 they reported that approximately 192,000 kids went to the ER for bicycle accidents.

I think this means that you should follow all the rules. Also you should understand the risk of getting injured. Also that its not the trampoline parks fault and its yours for doing something dangerous. You also signed a waiver that you understand the risk. So that's what you should do to protect your child at the trampoline park

1. Joseph B. Friedman originally made the Flex Straw for people with disabilities. They were originally made for disability aids and were used in the hospital. These were made so that people could drink easier. They helped people who were reclined to be able to drink water. The Flex Straw, originally made by Joseph B. Friedman, was made for people with disabilities.

Do not allow a child younger than 6 years old to use a trampoline.

Allow only one person at a time on the trampoline.

Do not depend on a safety net enclosure alone to prevent injuries; the majority of injuries actually occur on the mat of the trampoline.

Ensure that spotters are present when participants are jumping.

Do not allow participants to perform somersaults or other high-risk maneuvers without proper supervision and instruction. In addition, these maneuvers should never be attempted without the proper use of protective equipment, such as a harness.

Always place trampolines at ground level; a fall from a higher surface increases the risk of injury.

Remove trampoline ladders after use to prevent young children from climbing in and jumping without supervision.

Zoos can help animals from illegal hunting and trafficking. Many people kill animals like elephants and turtles to sell them for money. AZA is helping animals from trafficking. This company also helps animals live in safer zoos for them. AZA is an amazing company for animals. If we put endangerd animals in zoos we could be able to help some of them for illegal hunting and trafficking.

#2 Self-driving cars are far cheaper than regular cars being spent $800,000,000,000 in one year with regular cars. Since car crashes happen less with self-driving cars the car crash costs will severely decrease. Society will save money for taxes to go to charities and hospitals with people in need. With all the extra money the government will have will help with YOUR safety will more jobs to offer including first-responders. This is why self-driving cars are cost-saving.

• Providing enclosures that promote the physical, psychological and social wellbeing of the animals

• Grouping members of a species together in a manner that reflects their natural social tendencies

• Providing multiple different areas within each animal’s environment

• Providing enough shade to avoid direct sunlight on sunny days

• Regular observation of animals’ physical health

• A 24/7 veterinary program directed by a qualified veterinarian that focuses on disease prevention and animal welfare

5 Arguments for Zoos, Fact-Checked and Unpacked

their are programs to make sure zoos are in check. they are very strict and care for all the animals. plus they check zoos at least once a year. in summery zoos are going to take care of animals because they love the animals and so do the programs.

Dr. Shaughnessy also suggests that ED health care providers discuss prevention strategies with injured kids and their families. Measures to consider include:

• Ensuring that a backyard trampoline has a net — that alone can cut the fracture rate in half.

• Allowing only one child on the trampoline at a time. A significant mismatch in size and weight, such as a teen and a toddler, is especially dangerous.

• Teaching kids not to jump onto the trampoline from roofs and other high places, which can lead to especially serious injuries.

• Checking homeowners insurance; most policies don't cover trampoline injuries.

Dr. Shaughnessy says trampoline injuries aren't all that different from injuries kids get in bike or playground accidents. Still, he says, "If kids weren't so creative, they wouldn't get as injured.

Zoochosis can include rocking, swaying, excessively pacing back and forth, circling, twisting of the neck, self-mutilation, excessive grooming, biting, vomiting and coprophagia (consuming excrement).

These traits are largely uncommon amongst healthy and happy animals in the wild. When kept in captivity, animals are deprived of the ability to express their natural desires, and the effect this can often have on their mental and emotional health is tragically clear in the form of zoochosis. Such behaviour, when exhibited by confined or disturbed animals in other situations, is often referred to as ‘stereotypic behaviour’ and is recognised by scientists as a clear indicator of severe animal welfare issues.

What’s even sadder, is that to counter these problems, zoos internationally have been known to give drugs to affected animals. In her book Animal Madness, Laurel Braitman says that the practice of putting animals on anti-depressants is surprisingly common. “At every zoo where I spoke to someone, a psychopharmaceutical had been tried.”

One case Braitman shares is of a polar bear named Gus who lived at Central Park Zoo. Gus began compulsively swimming figure eights in his pool – for up to 12 hours per day. An animal psychologist determined that Gus was bored. And not surprisingly, given that his enclosure was less than 0.00009% of what his range in the Arctic would be.

Despite being born in captivity, he would still have felt predatory impulses. In fact, when he was first moved to the zoo, he would entertain himself by ‘stalking’ small children. But the zoo did not want children getting frightened, so they built a barrier to stop this. Gus was given thousands of dollars worth of behavioural therapy, the nickname “bipolar bear“, and doses of Prozac. His compulsive swimming eased off but never really went away. Gus died in captivity in 2013 at age 27.

• Wait until they're at least 6 years old. Even spaces that seem safe—for example, bouncy houses and foam pits—can be dangerous for little ones.

• Read the waiver and understand the risks and what activities are allowed and not allowed at the trampoline park.

• Avoid traditionally busy hours of the day. Go when it is less crowded and the lower chance of collision with other people.

• Stick close to your child. There's less chance they'll make extreme moves with your eyes on them.

• Remind them that the jumping surfaces are bouncier and harder than a backyard trampoline. Encourage them to test things out before they go all-in. Make sure they keep their eyes open and try to avoid collisions.

Every athletic activity carries some risk of injury, and trampoline programs are no exception. However, jumping under the supervision of a trained coach or instructor is very different from bouncing in the backyard or visiting a trampoline park.

Athletic staff generally work within safety rules and inspect equipment often. They may use a special harness to help kids learn specific moves (or simply protect their growing bodies). For these reasons, you may feel more comfortable allowing your child to try out a gymnastics, dance or other program that includes trampoline work.

plastic straws are sickening and killing animals. This is all because they are so lightweight that they are sorted into the none recycle part .So then it is brought to a landfill. not just plastic straws but plastic alone is killing our ecosystem.

If you must have a trampoline, put safety first. Take these steps recommended by the CPSC to reduce the risk of injury:

• Allow only one person on the trampoline at a time.

• Do not attempt or allow somersaults because landing on the head or neck can cause paralysis.

• Do not use the trampoline without shock-absorbing pads that completely cover its springs, hooks, and frame.

• Place the trampoline away from structures, trees, and other play areas.

• No child under 6 years of age should use a full-size trampoline. Do not use a ladder with the trampoline because it can provide unsupervised access to small children.

• Supervise children at all times.

• Trampoline enclosures may help prevent injuries from falls.

Regardless of the precautions put in place, the American Academy of Pediatrics strongly discourages the home use of trampolines. More than 1 million people visited the emergency department for trampoline injuries between 2002 and 2011, according to a September 2019 report from the AAP. Most patients were younger than 17 years.

The decision to purchase or keep a trampoline comes down to risk versus reward. While they may seem appealing as a fun summer activity, know the safety risks as well as the legal and financial risks to you and ask yourself: Are they worth it?

Most trampoline injuries occur when there is more than one person using a trampoline. Children can get hurt when they

• Land wrong while jumping.

• Land wrong while flipping and doing somersaults (this should not be allowed because of the risk of head and neck injuries).

• Try stunts.

• Strike or are struck by another person.

• Fall or jump off the trampoline.

• Land on the springs or frame.

Injuries from trampolines can be serious. They include broken bones, concussions, and head injuries. In some cases, serious spinal cord injuries and death can occur. Injuries can happen even when a trampoline has padding and a net enclosure. They can happen even when an adult is supervising. Trampoline injuries occur in many ways. They may happen when a jumper tries flips or other stunts. They may land badly, fall off, or fall on the trampoline spring or frame. If two or more people are jumping, they may crash into each other.

The repetitive motion and focus required for trampolining can help take your mind off worries, providing a mental break from stressors. 

Endorphin Release:

Physical activity, like trampolining, stimulates the release of endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. 

Improved Focus:

Trampolining can help improve focus and concentration, especially for children. 

Fun and Engagement:

Trampolining is a fun and engaging activity that can help you stay active and motivated. 

There is also an elevated risk of severe and/or permanent injury with trampoline use, especially those related to the head, neck, and spine.

Trampolines pose a high risk of temporary injury for kids, including scrapes, bruises, sprains, fractured or broken limbs, concussions, and more.

These animals respond with erratic behavior not native to their species. Slate tells the story of a polar bear named Gus who used to swim endless figure eights in his small pool.

“Many animals cope with unstimulating or small environments through stereotypic behavior, which, in zoological parlance, is a repetitive behavior that serves no obvious purpose, such as pacing, bar biting, and Gus’ figure-eight swimming,” Slate said. “Trichotillomania (repetitive hair plucking) and regurgitation and reingestation (the practice of repetitively vomiting and eating the vomit) are also common in captivity.”

Zoochosis is a form of psychosis that develops in animals held captive in zoos. Most often, it manifests in what are called stereotypic behaviors, or stereotypies, which are often monotonous, obsessive, repetitive actions that serve no purpose. Stated plainly, zoochosis is mental anguish made visible by abnormal behavior, and it’s a common indicator of poor welfare.

Animals evolved in the wild, where they could roam freely, interact socially, problem solve, and in general live a rich sensory life. Captivity, whether in zoos, circuses, aquariums, or elsewhere, denies them all of this and more. As a result, animals suffer.

Crucially, stereotypical behaviors do not occur in the wild, but are exclusively seen in animals held in captivity.

What are the Signs of Zoochosis?

Thousands of different species are kept in zoos, and each one has specific physical and psychological needs that can never be met in captivity, even with the best husbandry practices. The most common stereotypies seen in captive animals can depend on species, and individuals, but often include:

• Pacing 

• Bar biting

• Bobbing, weaving and swaying

• Rocking

• Self-mutilation

• Over-grooming

• Regurgitating and reingesting food

Animals exhibited in these facilities are subject to complete control and live in very different conditions from those in which they live in the wild. Captivity suppresses the natural instincts of wild animals. Animals suffer permanent frustration because they have no freedom of choice and cannot behave as they would do in their natural environment. This leads to a tendency toward genetic, physical and behavioural degeneration.

The consequences of captivity are:

Stereotypical behaviours: these are pathologies stem from forced captivity and are expressed through obsessive and / or repetitive behaviours including:

• continually walking around.

• turning in circles.

• playing with their tongue.

• biting and licking the bars.

• turning the neck, swinging,

• shaking the head up and down,

• rocking, hugging their legs, (common in big cats, elephants, bears, giraffes, camels, primates, etc.).

Other pathologies:

• Apathy, sadness, boredom.

• Eating Disorders (they refuse to eat or, on the contrary, become obsessed about food).

• Self-mutilation (biting tail, legs, head banging)-cats, bears, primates.

• Excessive cleaning (pulling hair or feathers off, leaving their skin with patches)-bears and parrots.

• Abnormal sexual behaviours (hyperactivity, finding substitute objects).

• Abnormal maternal behaviour (mothers attack, kill or abandon their young, etc.).

• Prolonged childish behaviour (immaturity, abnormal social behaviour, lack of social trust, etc.).

• Abnormal aggression: (with more intensity or frequency as a result of overcrowded cages, threats of dominant animals and pressure from zoo visitors.

• Vomiting and regurgitation, repeated vomiting, eating vomit and regurgitating. (often in gorillas and chimpanzees).

• Coprophagie: playing with and / or eating faeces, smearing faeces on walls (gorillas and chimpanzees).

• Many kind of diseases (digestive, skin, respiratory, cardiovascular, ...).

The Iberian lynx, California condor and pygmy hog are among animals that would have disappeared without reintroduction programmes, zoo-based conservation and formal legal protections since 1993,
