The Proposal of Banning Hunting in Developed Countries Many people hunt because of their family’s influence, but people have to realize sometimes traditions can be morally wrong like experienced by Marv Levy, “When I was twelve, I went hunting with my father and we shot a bird. He was laying there and something struck me. Why do we call this fun to kill this creature [who] was as happy as I was when I woke up this morning” (“Quotations about Animal Rights”). Today, in developed countries, hunting is used only for the pleasure of killing innocent animals or making money off the executed animals. Animals have no choice in the killing and usually have no chance of escaping the kill because of the technology in guns and traps people have produced. …show more content…
Animals are forced to suffer through severe pain only for humans to have fun killing other creatures. The young of the animals killed also suffer because when their parents die, they can no longer feed themselves, so they starve slowly to death. One form of hunting, called trophy hunting, is one of the worst ways to hunt with people only worrying about making money or hunters receiving a “trophy.” The most beautiful or dangerous animals in the world are hunted down for thousands of dollars, just so someone can say they killed that animal and show it off to others by having the animal’s head on their wall. Hunters believe they can keep populations under control or protect their livestock by hunting, but studies have shown that neither of that information is true. The one thing you can do is stop hunting and realize that animals are beautiful creatures that don’t deserve to die just because people like the sensation of killing. If you don’t personally hunt, encourage others not to. You can also join many animal activist groups, like Predator Defense, who are an interest group that strongly disagrees with the hunting of predators in North America. When people finally realize that animals have feelings and personalities like humans do, maybe they will finally understand hunting is morally wrong and should be
We live in the human society that animal becoming extinct, more people hunting animal just for fun like animal is just another toy to people chase around until the animal exhaust and then kill them, animal they have feeling just like humans. If we have guns control law is most likely no hunting anymore, we don’t need to hunt animal for food to survive. Many people kill animal just for their skin and fur. If humans continue killing innocent animal is will cause extinction to many animal. States with hunting law are less
Hunting has been a passion in the United States for a long time. It’s what the people do after they shoot the animal that makes things interesting and fun about shooting a trophy animal. Mounting a game animal takes talent and you have to have a steady hand to make sure that it meets certain specifications. What are the processes of ways to mount an animal?
This issue causes a lot of extreme behavior and ideas from both sides. Those who oppose it believe it to be morally wrong, unfair to the animals and damaging to the environment. Those individuals believe that it is the citizens' rights and a way to be involved in the environment. Hunting is the law and shall not be infringed upon. In defense of the hunters I believe that there are five main issues of concern.
Christopher McCandless’ long, fascinating, but an ultimately fatal journey into the wilderness of Alaska is depicted in the biography, Into the Wild, written by Jon Krakauer. Late in the of summer of 1990, a very young Christopher McCandless left his ordinary world in Annandale, Virginia to pursue a solitary life in the untamed wilds of Alaska. Many will insinuate that Christopher McCandless’ actions were childish and idiotic, but a stronger argument would be that his unconventional thinking and desire to live life on his own terms allowed him to reach self-actualization.
For centuries humans have survived thanks to the ability we have to adapt. One of this amazing activities that helped us is hunting. Unfortunately as we have changed throughout time, hunting has been degenerated into what’s called Trophy hunting. Have you ever heard this phrase before? Well if you haven’t, trophy hunting is when people kill any kind of animal, simply for keeping their bodies as a souvenir for the brutal and ferocious action they’ve just committed.
“Many airlines now ban shipments of African “Big Five wildlife trophies. Celebrities around the world, as well as the media, are condemning the illegal killing of animals for sport. The United Nations has also spoken out in a historic resolution on wildlife trafficking by the U.N. General Assembly that “strongly encouraged governments to commit to targeted actions to eradicate supply, transit and demand for illegal wildlife products” (Source 4). Countries, media, and celebrities are now discouraging the illegal killing of large game and urges the governments of many countries to enact laws to stop the black market distribution of these predators. It is important to prohibit illegal trophies and to enforce these laws with punishments and fines to remove species from the endangered species list and stop extinctions. Stricter laws and regulations can protect and save entire species from ceasing to exist. “Just months after the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History accepted a $20 million donation from big-game hunter Kenneth Behring, the Institution sought a FWS permit to import the trophy remains of two endangered wild sheep that Behring shot in Central Asia…After a storm of ugly publicity, the Smithsonian abandoned the permit application” (Source 1). The case of the Smithsonian Museum attempting to import two endangered sheep is just one
Hunting centuries ago was a cruel way of survival for humans but now it's no more than a violent form of recreation. Hunters should only hunt if they need it for sustenance which most
Hunting is a passion for millions of Americans across the United States and without it who knows what the current deer population would be. With the white tailed deer having few predators and a large habitat to thrive in it is important to keep the tradition of hunting going. Besides, the real problem Anti-hunters should be focusing on is the growth of cities and communities because they are what truly hurts the deer population. As long as deer hunting safety remains under control and the deer population stays in tacked, there should be no reason to end future hunts for Americans. To conclude, it is true that many people don’t believe in the ethics of hunting and that is alright, because regardless of how they feel hunting is here to stay for many years to
Have you ever wondered how some athletes have gotten so good at a certain sport? Have you ever thought about what they did in order for them to get this good? For some the answer is simple; workout and train. But for others the answer is different; the use of performance enhancing drugs such as steroids. There are some people that argue that steroids should be legalized and allowed in professional sports. Other people argue that steroids should not be allowed. Today I am going to state my opinion and justify my reason. Steroids should not be allowed in professional sports because it can be very dangerous to the athlete’s health, it is a way to gain and un-fair advantage and it can be dangerous in both social and physical aspects.
“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him” (G.K. Chesterton). A soldier is a soldier no matter what. If they fight behind a screen, on the front line, or from a controller as long as they’re protecting this country, the people in it, and the people fighting for it they are honorable. Some think that because one does their fighting from a remote control drone means that they have no understanding of war, and in some ways that is true, but they are still taking someone’s life when they choose to press that button just like the solders on the front line takes someone’s life when they pull the trigger. Both people are fighting the same fight: they love the country they are defending the people in it they just do it from different standpoints. Drones
I am adventurous. No I don't sky dive, wrestle crocodiles, or swim with sharks, but when asked by a group of friends to go cliff diving last summer, my best response was, “Sounds like fun!” I had never been afraid of heights yet have never experienced the thrill of cliff diving. All I could ask myself was, “What could go wrong?”
While I don’t completely agree with everything PETA states in their article some of their points were valid, but some were exaggerated. The first thing PETA mentions in the opening paragraph is that hunting led to the extinction of animal species such as the Tasmanian tiger and the great auk. (PETA, 2013). Hunting can honestly have that effect if it is not controlled as in how may can be killed or when that species can be killed. In fact, a study in the PETA article had 8o deer and out of those 80 deer, 22 had been shot, but only 11 were wounded and never recovered. That study alone shows us the effects of hunting, and not only just dying; another study done says a smaller part of the deer shot suffered more than 15 minutes (PETA, 2013). So, anyone reading these articles can notice the animals suffer a lot before dying; if they die. Hunting is a dangerous sport, it can cripple animals, make them suffer a long time, and worse case makes the species go
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.
Ever since the beginning of mankind, hunting was not only enacted for pleasure but also taken on as a legacy or a way of life for many people. Whether leisure hunting or hunting for a sport, both acts involve the position and incentive to kill that is passed down in generations as tradition or that is taught. This issue is extremely important to me and should be for many other individuals considering the impacts hunting has and will eventually effect our environment and the world entirely. This topic is also important as it relates to the negative effects on the future of our world regarding the possible endangerment and extinction of innocent animals. Leisure and sport hunting is not such a simple ‘black and white’ controversy regarding the many perspectives one may obtain regarding this
Many don’t realize that the road to success isn’t so much a road as it is a winding,
