The government of British Columbia has been promising the people of better strategies to manage their declining wildlife. The public has always waited for scientific methods to be used to manage wildlife, but the only way the government has always used to manage wildlife in British Columbia is by eradicating hunting. Although the government does seem to be finding new ways to manage wildlife, yet it is still advocating for the old ways the British Columbians have been opposing. The hunter centric strategies of wildlife conservation are still being practiced by the government, and this is contributing to the decline of some species. The government lacks the proper guidelines and consultation to realize that wildlife in British Columbia can just be efficiently managed through the use of scientific facts.
The government lacks one major step in their attempt to conserve and manage the wildlife: to lay clear and more defined procedures for managing our wildlife. The management plans put across by the government lacks consistency, hence why it is becoming directionless for the

The large increase in the season of wolf-trapping indicates that there is a need by the government to minimize the number of wolves in British Columbia (Picket, 2018). The same case happens to the cougars whereby the hunters are allowed to hunt them as a form of recreation and in the training of their dogs. These are just some of the regulations that the government has put across, but the public has no conclusive information about what the government aims at achieving in allowing the killing of cougars and wolves pursuit by the hunters. The rights of the animals are being overlooked by the government when it allows the hunters to pursue the killing of the animals, but the names given to these practices are colored to keep the public from questioning the impacts of the new regulations to the

If there is a new law that enforces every child to be killed within its first three months for industrial purposes, it will not seem realistic but in Canada, it is a current event. It may not be happening to humans, but it is a recurring issue for seals in Canada. In the recent years, seal hunting has become a controversial matter for Canadians, but the death of the seals is not a major concern to the government because what matters most to them is the revenue they profit from the production and trade of the seal products. However, seal hunting should be prohibited in Canada because baby seals are impetuously being killed, negatively impacting employment opportunities and traditions of the Inuit, and millions of taxpayers’ money is being wasted inconsiderably by the commercial seal hunting industry and for fighting the ban of seal hunt.
When many people think of hunting they think of cruel, evil people senselessly killing innocent animals. What they don’t realize is that hunting is a passed down tradition and a way for people to bond with others who share a love for the sport. There are two main types of hunting: bowhunting and hunting with a rifle. There are strict rules and regulations that apply to hunting, so someone can’t just go out and start shooting up all the animals. Before anyone can hunt, they have to pass a class and a field test in order to get their license. Without a license, you can’t buy tags. A tag is a paper that you buy in order to be able to kill an animal. You can hunt many different types of animals from birds to bears, but in this essay I will be talking specifically about big game. Big game is referred to as deer, elk, bear, and cougar. Although many people believe that big game hunting should be banned in the United States, they overlook the fact that hunting does more good than harm.

Conservationists and the ranchers that are having financial issues caring for their animals, without utilizing hunting, can take advantage of other resources to gain revenue. The ranch operators need to find alternatives to gain a source of income such as acquiring sponsors, donations, conducting guided tours or perhaps, providing educational programs.

Visiting a country for vacation tend to have a strong correlation with buying unique merchandise that the country has to offer, such as bags, clothes, shoes, etc. However, we tend to be unaware of the origin for those items. The clothes and bags that we bought might have come from animals that are endangered, or it could have been coming from animals that are now extinct; and unknowingly, we take parts in the big business of wildlife trading.
The seal hunt has been a Canadian tradition, started by the First Nations people, for over 4000 years. The seal hunt is still going on today and the debate of wheater it is an important part of our country and if it’s something we want our home and native land to be associated with. Furthermore, the hunt has been shown on many occasions to be extremely inhumane and unsustainable. It also does not provide a significant economic boost. Consequently, the Canadian government has been working on ways to make this tradition more ethical and sustainable, but so far their attempts have only had a minuscule effect.
For thousands of years scientist have been performing vivisections on animals to find information on new chemicals, drugs, and vaccines. Vivisection is when scientist perform dissections among living animals mostly for the purpose of educating and retrieving information. Experimenting on animals has become the tool that has helped us comprehend the body functions of an animal and how a disease transforms the bodily functions, but over the years it’s caused animal rights activists to question the usefulness and the sincerity of using animals for this purpose. Although animal research has been helpful in the past, it is morally wrong in the sense that experimenting on animals is not the only way to collect information. There are other alternatives

White-tailed deer population in North America now exists between 15 and 20 million animals, and has continued to rise approximately 35 percent annually (Kroll). Only 5 percent of Americans, some 12.5 million individuals consider themselves hunters (Does Hunting Help or Hurt the Environment).

In today’s society, there is a substantial amount of controversy over the topic of hunting. Unfortunately, many people have taken a position of dissent on the topic, but contrary to popular belief, I believe that hunting should continue to be performed. I think hunting has many benefits that go unrecognized by most people. Hunting is a way of life for many people, so outlawing it would not only make us lose culture, but also conservation benefits, economic influence, learning opportunities, and would be detrimental to the health of all hunters around the nation. Contrary to popular belief, hunting is actually a formidable force for conservation.
Imagine a world where there are no animals anywhere. There are still the ordinary cows, pigs, cats, dogs, but there is not a single tiger or rhinoceros.

Other reasons on why animals are getting put on the endangered species list and or going extinct: habitat intrusion, pet trade, climate change, and disease. Please help to save the animals or they won’t be here any longer.
