Species

Acres

Commentary: In this graph, you can clearly see that the Berlin Garden Zoo holds the
most species standing at 1,500 species. Even though this zoo holds first place in the
largest, it comes in last for the most acres it provides for their animals. The number
of acres compared to the species count is extremely low. This information
contributes to our research and shows one of the ways zoos do not take care of
their animals to the fullest.

are at risk of extinction (Vassen).
Figure 3. Picture of a political cartoon about animal cruelty

Commentary: This picture shows how animal cruelty has had such a large impact in
our society. It shows what we think about animals and how animals should forever
think about us. Our research is based on the treatment of animals and their rights.
