The first and the fifth reference in this article does not work.
This article used a source from an Animal Behavior study on dogs from 1968, and is trying to use that information to support animal captivity. Dogs were the 3rd domesticated animal to humans that we know, and most of the time animal captivity is spoken of when talker of large mammals, so I do not think the two are comparable, nor is the study used for evidence relevant. (Alleviation of Learned Helplessness in The Dog, Vol 73, No. 3, 256-262).
This article is well-written but seems a bit scattered. Some broad details are missing where other minute ones seem to have been overly indulged on.
This article is missing sections and an Introduction.
This article does not have any pictures or graphical data.
