Intro Paragraph: Hunting is a fun sport when you are considering bowhunting and gun hunting. When talking about hunting it is very fun and you must have patience. When hunting if you get what you are hunting for it is very rewarding.
Starvation and disease can be tragic, but they are nature’s ways of ensuring that healthy, strong animals survive and maintain the strength of the rest of their herd or group. The balance of ecosystems also ensures their survival, if they are left unaltered (Achor 155). Hunters are not anything like that or natural predators. While natural predators cull the weak, the old, and the sick members of the species, human hunters kill the strong, large, healthy animals. This weakens the gene pool. Shooting an animal because he or she might starve or get sick is still cruel and arbitrary. There are also many instances of licensed hunters killing more animals than allowed by law. “Limit violations were found in 25% of hunters examined at roadblocks in Utah and in 40% of hunters examined in Idaho” (Wilson). It’s not a cheap source of food either. Hunters spend money on weapons such as ammunition, licenses, blinds, tree stands, mobile stands, scents, lures and a variety of other equipment. Annually, they spend about $10 billion in supplies, equipment, motels, restaurants, and other expenses related to hunting trips (Stevens). Hunting also hurts people in many ways as well. About 200 hunters and innocent passersby die and between 1,500 and 1,700 are injured in hunting accidents each year (Achor
In the last couple of years, the issue regarding big game hunting has received more recognition since the killing of Cecil the lion in 2015. Despite the controversy concerning the use of legal paperwork by Walter Palmer, the individual who killed the lion, the killing of the exotic animal itself caused a major spark in the ethicality of trophy hunting. “The killing of Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe in July 2015 reignited the debate over big game hunting” (Big Game). When looking at big game hunting from an ethical point of view, it is more beneficial than opposers realize. There are many controversies surrounding the dispute of the legality involving big game hunting, most educated hunters know that big game hunting actually helps, not hurts, the
Supporters claim that their sport helps conservation efforts and helps bring money to the communities in which they are hunting from. Opposers claim that occasionally there is a fine line between trophy hunting and poaching, because much of it is illegal. They also claim that only a small percent of the money made goes to help conservation efforts, and it causes a decrease in the wild life population. I consider myself as an opposer in most cases. I don’t believe it is our job to decide whether an animal should live or die, and I don’t see how killing an animal is supposed to help the population. In the long run, killing these animals will only result in endangerment of the species. I don’t see the wrong with hunting for food and/or hunting for survival. However, hunting to control population or simply for bragging rights, is what I considered
Hunters are very offended by these prohibition acts of gun control. Not all people use these fire arms for a defensive item but to put food on their families’ tables. Guns have always been around in today’s society; they have saved our country and made it what it is today. Taking away rights not only hurt what defense we have with them but it takes away the sport and enjoyment of those who hunt (1). Taking away from the second amendment and not having the freedom of using guns as we please or when they are in need is not fair.
Hunting has been a tradition for many years. There are both pros and cons of hunting. There are several actions that you can do right and wrong to keep the environment healthy when you are hunting. Hunting is still very controversial and whether it is supported or not depends on who you ask.
Hunting is the process of killing an animal for food or sport (Hester 14). To some people hunting is considering cruel, however what they do not know is it actually helps the population stay healthy. Healthy animals means healthy meat. Our ancestors had to hunt and farm for everything they ate and wore. Hunting was a necessity for them(Hester 9). Today hunting has changed, people don 't hunt for clothes but hunt for the food and the exitement of the hunt. Many people hunt as a tradtion also, its a tradtion for people to go out and spend time with family out in the
“Hunting is not a sport. In a sport, both sides should know they are in the game.” (Paul Rodriguez) makes it least that animals are not aware of the fact that they are being hunted. According to Britannica.com, hunting was a necessity in early history. Early hunting for sport was for rulers and their nobles, those having the most leisure and wealth. Hunting is defined as the act of killing or taking down a creature. Killing is a synonym of murdering, and murdering is a crime. Some may say that hunting can provide food, which is a necessity for humans, or that is one way for them to make money. Despite these facts, some people are selfish enough to exceed their wants and hunt down animals for pleasure. That is why, sport hunting should be made illegal because hunting destroys animals ’wildlife habitats and hunting contributes to their extinction.
What is big game hunting?There are around 20,000 to 35,000 wild lions left in Africa, depending on whom you ask, and big game hunters legally kill around 600 each year. This is a lost in population by two to three percent. Is big game hunting legal? Hunting is a well known sport. According to some, big game hunting is business for the wealthy, yet others believe it may actually provide benefits to the human, and animal population.
Hunting is a way that humans see to keep balance of the ecosystem. Ecosystems are composed of a predator prey relationships that help keep balance within it. Without predators the prey population would rise to a point where the ecosystem does not have enough resources to support them, causing starvation and eventually death within the population. The population would get to a point where there is
Being raised in the south has played a lot into my views of hunting, and so it is easy to agree with Bass’s essay. Now, there are pros and cons to the practice. One pro is hunting controls the animal population. There are laws preventing over-hunting, and hunting is good exercise that can also provide knowledge for young kids. While there are many cons for hunting, there are also a lot of pros. One of those pros is that hunting can sustain life. For a large amount of people, if they don’t hunt, they don’t eat. They may not be able to obtain any other source of food or they just can’t afford it. Another pro is that hunting can teach people an increased knowledge of the outdoors and how to survive. If a person gets lost somewhere in the outdoors, a background of hunting could help that person stay alive. One of the most important pros is that it is one of the last remaining means of population control. If nobody hunted in the whole country, animal populations would be running rampant and there would be a huge clash for land to live on between humans and
For example, in Asia, the government’s training and deployment of park guards in Thailand’s most important reserve, the Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary, has led to seven years of population stability in tigers and other wildlife, in contrast to dramatic declines in nearby unprotected parks.
One of the best days of my life was when we went deer hunting in South Dakota with my dad, brother, uncle and two cousins, but before I tell you about my trip let me tell you how it started. We left early in the morning to head to South Dakota where my cousin Jacob, who had just got a job as Game warden in Custer State Park, was taking us deer hunting. We got as far as Fargo, North Dakota when my cousin Keith asked my dad where our license were. Then to our surprise we forgot them back at home. We were lucky enough to have my two aunts and mom bring us the license because they were going to Fargo that day anyways for a girls shopping day. They just had to leave a little earlier. So we just waited in a parking lot until they
Many people around the world love fishing, but only as a hobby. It is a simple activity that is not only beneficial, but it is also entertaining. Most people love fishing despite being named a lazy people’s hobby.
Why are different species becoming extinct? Do researchers know how many innocent animals are killed each year? When will animals be protected in a comfortable habitat? In man-made environments, such as zoos and other nature parks, animals that are born in the wild are protected and well taken care of. Due to animals running around in the wild, scientists and researchers can track the amount of animals being killed everyday. This usually causes extinction within that species, and researchers have decided to do something about it. Although endangered animals are born in the wild, they should be sheltered and protected in nature parks because it helps decrease the amount of extinctions, allows a better and healthier environment, and the animals are protected from predators and human hunters.
