  • Chattanooga Travel Guide Chattanooga Is the Fourth-Largest City In
    Chattanooga Travel Guide by newsdesk Chattanooga is the fourth-largest city in Tennessee (after Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville), and the seat of Hamilton County, in the United States of America. It is located in southeast Tennessee on Chickamauga and Nickajack Lake, which are both part of the Tennessee River, near the border of Georgia, and at the junction of three interstate highways, I-24, I-75, and I-59. The city, at elevation 685 feet, lies at the transition between the ridge-and-valley portion of the Appalachian Mountains and the Cumberland Plateau, is surrounded by ridges. Located on the Tennessee River and situated in Hamilton County, Chattanooga is a true tourist treat. It is an ideal place to enjoy boating, fishing and other water sport activities. The name "Chattanooga" comes from the Creek Indian word for "rock coming to a point." This refers to Lookout Mountain which begins in Chattanooga and stretches 88 miles through Alabama and Georgia. Chattanooga has traditionally touted its tourist attractions, including the Tennessee Aquarium (a freshwater and, as of May 2005, a saltwater aquarium), caverns, and heavy development along and across the Tennessee River. In the downtown area are the Creative Discovery Museum (a hands-on children's museum dedicated to science, art, and music), an IMAX 3D Theatre, and the newly expanded Hunter Museum of American Art. The red-and-black painted "See Rock City" barns along highways in the Southeast are remnants of a now classic Americana tourism campaign to attract visitors to the Rock City tourist attraction in nearby Lookout Mountain, Georgia.

  • Caring for Dolphins, Otters, and Octopuses: Speciesism in the Regulation of Zoos and Aquariums
    CARING FOR DOLPHINS, OTTERS, AND OCTOPUSES: SPECIESISM IN THE REGULATION OF ZOOS AND AQUARIUMS By Marla K. Conley* Current regulationsfor zoos and aquariums rely heavily on standards es- tablished by industry associations,and the government increasinglyexpects public display facilities to self-monitor. Unfortunately, the industry associa- tions charged with policing zoos and aquariums lack the enforcement au- thority necessary to ensure that animals kept in these facilities receive adequate attention or resources. This article argues that marine animals kept in public display facilities, such as zoos and aquariums, should benefit from the same level of regulatory protection as their land-bound counter- parts. Even though marine animals demonstrate intellectual abilities equivalent or superior to those of land-bound animals, federal regulations allow facilities to keep marine animals in smaller enclosures with less social contact. This article discusses existing regulations for the following three levels of animals in light of their physical and intellectual needs: dolphins as compared to elephants and nonhuman primates, otters as compared to dogs, and octopuses as compared to hamsters and rabbits.Finally, this arti- cle recommends several adjustments to existing regulations for marine animals.
