Abstract Details

2005, MDes, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Design.
My thesis deals with both the sociological and environmental aspects of living things. Animals have been around for millions and billions of years and they occupy a spot in the “web of life”. If a species should vanish or decline, the web is disrupted and other species, including humans are jeopardized. Animals have the basic right to coexist with us with as little obstruction as possible. They are our neighbors on this planet and have the same rights as we do to land, air, water, and all things needed to survive. All animals have a purpose in this world so what divine right do humans have to pick and choose who lives and who dies? We are the most intelligent species on Earth and also the most destructive. We should use our abilities to protect the wildlife instead of vanquishing it. Keeping animals in zoos is a way that people have used to recover the deprivation of wildlife. Although well intentioned, animals are kept in captivity and denied their true environment which they are inherently entitled to. However, another way that people have begun saving these precious creatures is through wildlife rehabilitation. They tend to injured wild animals with the goal of reentering them back in to their natural habitat.
