Discussion Questions:
- What are the benefits of keeping various types of animals in captivity?
- What are the down sides of keeping various animals in captivity?
- What is our responsibility to the animals we share the world with?
- How could captive animals be treated more humanely and still provide profit for the businesses that own them?
- What further training do "animal trainers" need to better work with their charges?
- Why shouldn't "wild" animals be treated the same way as "domestic" animals?
- Try to connect the ideas from the documentary (especially breeding in captivity) to the Siberian experiment in domesticating foxes (that National Geographic article we discussed at the beginning of the semester).
