Conservationists and other major proponents of bighorn herd protection such as the US Forest Service (USFS) and Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA) often view domestic sheep as a disease ridden threat to the viability of bighorn sheep across the nation. They believe in and actively push for increased regulations to prevent domestic sheep from grazing on millions of acres of public land regardless of what effects these regulations may have on domestic sheep
American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terrier, and the Staffordshire Bull Terriers, commonly known as “Pit Bulls”, are all breeds of dogs that are universally misunderstood. Pit Bulls are commonly seen as vicious, dangerous, and violent animals. Unfortunately, Pit Bulls are falling victim to dog racism. Over the years, Pit Bulls have gained a negative reputation, but why? For my research project, I want to address the common misconceptions that constantly follow the bully breed of dogs.
Also to save the jobs of cattle producers/ranchers and farmers. The National Cattlemen's Beef Association is a program that is working against the statement of the cattle industry going extinct. The National Cattlemen's Beef Association works with all states to help them all succeed in their local and statewide farms and ranches. The National Cattlemen's Beef Association is working on the issues in the
In 1927, the U.S. Government decided to preserve the cattle in Oklahoma and Nebraska on wildlife refuges. In 1964, the Texas Longhorns Breeders Association of America was established to help in the effort to preserve these cattle. Other associations include the International Texas Longhorn Association and the Cattlemen’s Texas Longhorn Registry. People probably associate the Texas Longhorns with the University of Texas.
I do agree with the U.S. Federal government’s management plan for wild horses. Based on the reading, the U.S. Federal government had the best interest of wild horses in mind when declaring this act. The act protects horses from humans by making wild horses components of the public land they occupy. The Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act prevents humans from slaughtering wild horses. The act also considers the natural behaviors of horses and how these behaviors will affect the longevity of the wild horse population.
There is an important question many people today wonder; I found that there are several people who see how showing livestock affects kids in school and in life. I chose this topic because so many people think that showing livestock is just a waste of time and money, but they have no idea what it entails. Other people don’t realize that showing livestock isn’t about the money or just having a pet. I am writing this paper because everybody should know that showing isn’t about having a pet, it’s about gaining responsibilities and learning new things that can help you later in life. Showing livestock helps children go farther in life because it teaches them more responsibility, they work harder, and they never give up on their dreams.
Rodeos are big events all over the country. Families come from all over to enjoy watching cowboys compete at the rodeos. While some people come to rodeos to document the abuse and harm that the cowboys are causing the animals. It is a big controversy whether rodeos are animal abuse or not. Animal rights activists are trying to stop rodeos from “abusing” animals, but they don’t know the extensive care that the animals are given.
Farmers like to have the capacity to control nature, which is one regular reaction to the kind of life they lead. At the heart of the wolf reintroduction level headed discussion, is the issue of control, and dread of not being in control. The control issue goes past wolves too. The issue regularly gets to be one of 'us against them'. "I wholeheartedly trust that a great deal of the backing behind these endeavors are originating from these radicals and that their definitive objective is to annul most types of outside movement, for example, hunting, trapping, fishing, perhaps even trail riding, and outdoors in our wild
Marine parks in the country like SeaWorld, have orcas in tanks that they live in captivity. They use most of the killer whales for their performances in the pool. We all know that orcas are social, and intelligent creatures, that live in the oceans of the earth. We also know that many scientist are trying to study these animals in captivity where they are in tankes. I think Killer Whales should not be in captivity because, of the injures they can get in their tanks, how they get stressed out and they are better in the wild.
Although the Salt River wild horses in Arizona have been well documented since the passage of the 1971 Wild Free Roaming Horse and Burro Act, they have no formal designation under the law for protection or management and no official territory within the Forest Service land where they roam. The welfare of these majestic creatures is at stake. With no official channel to address the management of the wild horses has led to frustration and misinformation within the public
Should grizzly bears be rewilded in Arizona? Yes, grizzly bears should be rewilded in Arizona to restore it to its original wildlife state. Four main points. 1. Effects grizzly bears have on the environment, 2.
This essay by Terry Tempest Williams, is describing us first the massacre of the prairie dog that occurred at the Cedar Ridge Golf Course, where over 400 prairie dog where gassed to death. There are 5 species of prairie dog and they are now threatened and might be in extinct in couple of years. The people wanted to exterminate the dogs because they were running the range because they consume a large amount of green grasses and forbs. According to Williams, “Prairie habitat not only for themselves but also for other grassland species. Prairies dog create diversity, destroy them, and you destroy a varied world (p86/87).”
Societies and cultures such as our own can only advance if we learn from previous mistakes, in this case I am talking about extinct species of wildlife. In the past, people have killed a lot of animals in large numbers as they deemed fit for things that include a stable food source, resource, and to affect other peoples as with the bison. Bolen and Robinson made excellent points on this issue about how Americans waged war on Bison as an attempt to take away the Indian’s food source and how that is why the mighty bison is so scarce today (Bolen and Robinson 10). The bison and other examples in the text are great examples of Europeans overkilling and driving species of animals to extinction for various reasons, but it is very important. If we
Wildlife Conservation is often seen as a bad thing, but if you look at it from my perspective, then it is actually a good thing. People think of it as holding wild animals captive, but we are actually protecting them from poachers. The purpose of Wildlife Conservation is to protect the animals in danger, which I am in agreement 110%. Other people argue that we shouldn’t have conservations, but they don’t know the harm that can happen to unprotected animals.
“Lions and tigers, and bears, oh my! - Dorothy in Wizard of Oz” Could these, and many other animals not exist in the near future? “Between 40%-50% of endangered species in the U.S. are improving or stable, but the others are moving toward extinction. While the law has driven the rebirth of 36 species, a similar number have disappeared.” Lions, tigers, and are just some of the animals, that have been threatened,but thanks to organizations such as WWF,(The World Wildlife Organization), many of these species have been rising in numbers. But one of the hot issues in world today is if the Endangered species act is doing an efficient job at protecting endangered species.
Animal endangerment is a very prominent problem in the world today. This is because the world is plagued by poaching and habitat loss still even though poaching is illegal, and habitat loss shouldn’t happen anymore due to a myriad of laws. With tigers it is worse because of how valuable they are to the world. Tigers are one of the most endangered species in the world, and they are very essential for everything they contribute to their habitat and their ecosystem. Reasons are always needed in understanding why some things happen as they do.
