There are many reasons why people enjoy conservation hunting but what they do not know is how that type of aggressive behavior will affect them and how they will treat other human beings. Many people hunt and fish for survival, which sometimes can make sense why humans might see a person killing a deer since our bodies need meat and fats to function in society. Although some people kill these poor animals in an inhumane way while others just hunt and kill animals to have a good time. Animals are hunted for fur for people to wear or to display in their homes, and for parts that can be used in creams and makeup-ups. Jed Goodfellow, a lecturer in Animal Law, states that sometimes people have the idea that if they are wearing a real animal's coat …show more content…
For example people go to Africa to have the chance to shoot a lion or to India to shoot tigers. People chose to hunt for fun because of the rewards they get themselves, whether it is a sense of pride or a money prize. However in doing this they are not thinking about using the animal for useful purposes or survival, consequently animals are being endangered just to boost people’s egos. Hunting can also involve the elimination of animals that is thought to be pests, and this is used on animals that are NOT endangered. Governments state how many of these animals are allowed to be …show more content…
This also includes some animals, like the rhinoceros, that are believed to have "healing properties" for humans. About six years ago in 2011, the International Union of the Conservation of Nature had declared the Western Black Rhinoceros extinct and the White Rhinoceros on the endangered list. The reason being why these magnificent species became critically endangered and then poached was because of people believing their horns had healing properties (Vegan Peace, par 2). Another effect this problem is affecting is the Sumatran Tiger who is now a critically endangered species in the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It does not help when zoo's "promise" to rehabilitate these creatures because they have not been living up to their word causing more tigers to die because of starvation. This beautiful big cat was killed and sold for its skin, teeth, bones, and claws that apparently can sell for $5, 000 and
“Why Sport Hunting Is Cruel and Unnecessary” asserts “natural predators help maintain this balance by killing only the sickest and weakest individuals.” This is the key concept of natural selection that has proven effective throughout history; however, the introduction of invasive and nonnative species can cause an imbalance in population. Opponents would suggest banning hunting in order to allow populations to return to their natural number, but this ban has been proven ineffective in African counties. “How Hunting Helps Wildlife” outlines the detrimental effects a hunting ban can have on wildlife’s population. At one point in time Kenya banned hunting but reinstated hunting as 70 percent had been poached. The laws and regulations in place allowed the populations to be renewed, rising to their original numbers. While banning hunting may sound promising, it has the opposite effect of what is
Hunting is the practice of pursuing any living thing, usually wildlife or feral animals, by humans for food and survival (“Hunting”, 2011). Hunting has been traced back to the beginning of man. In American culture, hunting has always been a way of life. The Native Americans and early American settlers hunted to survive, that is so they did not die of starvation, just in case that is in any way confusing. Today however, puny-minded individuals see it not as a way of life, but as a thirst for blood and murder. In order to survive, men had to hunt to provide food for their families and communities, and if unsuccessful, they would go hungry. Their survival depended upon what they hunted and killed, leaving nothing to waste. Every part of the animal was used from the bones to the meat to the pelt, to satisfy the needs of survival. Men had to be creative to outsmart these cunning animals; therefore, a wide variety of weapons were use...
White-tailed deer, also known as the whitetail, is native to the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, and South America as far south as Peru and Bolivia. What are the things called antlers and what are they made of? Deer antlers are made of bone. They grow from pedicles, bony bumps found on the heads of all deer, and they drop off after the mating season ends.
The world is improving every second of the day. Our culture has upgraded since the time of the Native Americans. Hunting has modernized because of the advancement of technology and weaponry. Hunting has fed our families from the dawn of time. The innovation of hunting has been restructuring from the natives to modern day USA.
A social outrage has broken recently amid the scandal of Cecil the Lion’s death. Cecil was illegally hunted and killed by the American dentist Walter Palmer. Since then, it has caused the world to change their minds on the effects of trophy hunting. Succeeding the death of the renowned lion, a recent poll in America displays that on a three to one margin, the respondents said they would rather be tourists in a country that prohibits trophy hunting, instead of one that does not. The debate is ascending as more hunters proudly present their ‘trophy’ on social media. Many nature conservatives and animal protection agencies are raising awareness because of the fact that Cecil died in a meaningless and violent manner.The problem is not only in America, but around the globe. Trophy hunting should be illegal in the world because it is merely killing animals without a meaningful purpose, and it produces harmful effects to the environment.
Many people see hunting and fishing as the slaughtering of innocent animals for no reason other than sport and fun. However, the truth is, hunting and fishing are beneficial to people, environments, and the economy. Hunting and fishing are beneficial to the economy because they cause a major economic impact. Hunting and fishing are beneficial to environments and people because they reduce damages done by wildlife overcrowding. Hunting and fishing are also beneficial to people because they provide a healthy, affordable source of food.
Anti-hunters are opposed to the explicit acts of hunters in Africa because of the environmental degradation it can lead to. What I want to be of focus, though, is that controversy over the act of hunting is not solely in line with hunting endangered African mammals. The results of all kinds of hunts and the drives hunters have to pursue these hunts differ because of the uniqueness of the goods the hunters seek in their adventures. What non-hunters and anti-hunters easily overlook is the anthropocentric values that the hunter seeks to fulfill and achieve, and how it expresses an interaction with nature.
PETA, and other organizations like them, think that hunting is a cruel and inhumane, and a non-effective way of controlling the whitetail deer population. Hunting is the primary source of conservation and income for the national fish and wildlife service. Let’s look at a couple ways that hunting provides an effective wildlife management tool. To begin, at the beginning of the 20th century there were an estimated 500,000 deer left in the US, because of conservation efforts led by hunters, there are more than 44 million in America today. Furthermore, hunting helps highway safety. Deer cause over 200 deaths a year and cost around 4 billion a year in auto accidents. Finally, if hunters did not hunt, deer would over populate and be a nuisance animal.
The topic of hunting has always been filled with controversy, excitement and trepidation for the environment. Both sides have varies ideas as to what is wrong and right. I realize that many people do not understand why people have to hunt or why people do hunt. One of the questions that kept coming to mind is why so many people are against hunting when their ancestors hunted and without hunting many of them would not be alive today. This question is relevant because many people are becoming to be worried that animals are in pain when being hunted and that it is unfair for people to hunt selfless animals with modern weaponry, and with many people going against the right to own guns.
Today elephants are now considered endangered these gentle giants are targeted for their tusks ,the elephants are killed for their tusks because they are made of ivory and that is sold on the black market and used to make knick knacks to sell to tourist which is completely unnecessary, and in just a decade more than 7,137 african rhinos have been lost to poaching (Save the Rhino International) these creatures are being shot and cut up and left to die just for a simple horn. I believe it is extremely barbaric to do this to an animal just for its tusks , horns ,coat, or organs, then leave them to bleed out. Just as overfishing causes imbalances in the whole marine system, our complex web of life on earth depends on careful and thoughtful use of wildlife species and their habitats and if poaching continues at the rate it is many of these hunted species could become severely endanger or even extinct, and no parent wants to explain to their kid why some animals are not in the wild anymore. Animals all over the world are affected by this not just in africa, all kinds of species of tigers and leopards in asia are killed just for their coats because of the unique patterns people find them very valuable but sometimes when these animals are killed they are females with young not to far away and that hurts the population of the species because a majority of the time the cubs or
The second major cause of endangered species is the illegal wild animal trades. In spite of some laws passing to be against these trades, there are still many illegal trades all over the world in order to gain some benefits. Sometimes people hunt the wild animals for food. But in the most situations, they hunt wild speci...
For every wildlife animal legally hunted another is killed illegally; this is called poaching. The people who commit the type of crime such as that of hunting illegally are known as poachers. The worst part about this crime is that it is committed where no one can see or know what is happening. The motive of poachers can vary from wanting a trophy or pointlessly killing animals to harvesting a profit from ivories, horns, or antlers. If this environmental problem of poaching continues, then many species will either become endangered or extinct. This has been an ongoing problem for many years now and there have been many efforts to stop or catch poachers. There are various solutions that have been tried and tested but the latest and most effective solutions have yet to be explained.
Although it may not seem saving or protecting endangered animals is important, it actually and truly is important because animals around the world are being killed for wildlife market goods which is illegal and destroys the species population in that environment. Citizens should take more concern with taking care of these endangered animals before they become totally extinct and will no longer be seen on the face of the earth. Recently researchers have found that poachers (hunters who hunt animals for their value with trading illegal merchandise) are killing thousands of animals a day, and they are doing so even to this day. These species should be treated with more responsibility and care. They are even being killed by human interactions
Main (2013) adds, The Western black rhino was declared extinct by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) in 2011, with the primary cause identified as poaching. Perhaps the most shocking thing of all is why these animals are being killed in the first place. These animals are being killed, often for just miniscule parts of their body that are in some cases useless. For example, the major reason rhinos are being poached is for their horn. Many countries believe that the rhino horn is an important ingredient for many medicines. This is false, there has been no medicals or scientific proof that these horns provide any medical benefit. This really forces you to ask yourself why the animal was even killed in the first
Then there is a need to make them realize that there is no real medicinal value that can be attached to the horn of the rhino. Ultimately, they all required an increased in funding and donations from the public will help to conserve the rhino for future generations, as stricter measures can be taken to help maintain them. To add, the introduction of a treatment known as Rhinoprotect, where the rhino horn is made valueless to poachers as it gets injected with color dye and poison whereby X-ray scanners will be able to detect the horn (10 Realistic
