While it may seem as if these gorillas are homeless, this image has a very deep meaning behind it. Forests are getting cut down and destroyed by people all year round leaving these animals with no place to go. With the lack of shelter and support, these living creatures may potentially go extinct if we do not put a stop to it. Ads like this are usually showing humans who are homeless, but because these are gorillas are in an ad where people would usually be placed, it has a greater meaning. This ad is creating a picture that will grasp the viewers attention of what happens if deforestation continues to go on. Places in Africa, such as Congo, are found to kill at least two apes a week. This leaves the corpses butchered and then sold off to …show more content…
Not only are there plenty of pointless pictures and posters hung up in the city, but there are multiple duplicates of the same exact flyers. These flyers are all placed side by side which is a complete waste. This would be equivalent to a family making twenty plates of food for six people, its completely unnecessary.You may ask yourself “ How can I help these innocent animals of God's creation”. One really good step would be to not waste paper and resources leaving deforestation companies with more money in their pockets. Imagine if your house gets knocked down and your family must live outside with very minimal shelter and a food supply of little to none. Well this is exactly what us humans are doing to apes and other wildlife that live in forests throughout the world. Forests get cut down by wood production companies and will continue to do so as long as we keep purchasing their products. Tearing down the trees in these natural habitats ruin the ecosystem which could potentially backfire on us down the road. Workers are tearing down beautiful trees left with nothing but stumps. This leaves hunters to have easy access to kill of a large amount of the ape population. The baby and mother in this ad are in the corner with their backs up against the wall. This is also happening in the wild, the gorillas have nowhere to hide and noone to save
“Is it right, in the deepest moral sense, for one conscious being to eat another?” Throughout Eating Apes, Dale Peterson takes the readers through what he experienced, saw, and the issues presented with trying to protect the apes to gear us to answer that question. He was able to do this with the stories of Karl Ammann, who took the photographs presented in the book, and Joseph Melloh, a gorilla hunter from Cameroon. Prior to taking this class, my knowledge of apes going extinct went as far as being aware that we needed to save them from extinction. However, I was unaware of neither how brutal apes were treated nor how pivotal they were to people in Central Africa’s diet – until I began reading Eating Apes. Eating Apes is a descriptive but difficult book to read through that describes why the ape population was diminishing and the various stakeholders involved.
There are many animals in the world. Even we don’t know the exact number of them. Recently, it’s difficult to find some species because they already threaten and most of them become extinct. We can’t find the great ape called chimpanzees easily in the Africa forest. The largest population of chimpanzees are in central Africa, mainly Gabon, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Cameroon. It’s about 150,000 to 250,000 individuals (WWF,n.d). Their population keeps decreasing rapidly each year. Although this problem already handled by big organization, government and others, but the chimpanzees life aren’t safe. It is caused by many reasons, the human activities are one of the big problem that made chimpanzee become in endangered. Such as deforestation
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
Thousands of zoos worldwide are visited by citizens yearly to admire and satisfy their curiosity of the beautiful wild animals that mother nature has to offer. Zoos have been around for hundreds of years and have become a known tradition for numerous school field trips and family outings. The ongoing debate between animal rights activists and zoo officials remains, should wild animals be taken from their natural habitats to live in city zoos for education and entertainment purposes?
What many people don 't know is that many animals and habitats are being destroyed because of the careless human race. I feel that it is crucial that humans intervene in the destruction of animals species and their habitats the same. After all, most of the destruction is that of our machines and mass production. I mean what would happen to all the species that become endangered from our mistakes such as careless environmental endeavors. Did you know that there are many things that we could do to help, but people just put them to the side because they feel that it isn 't important to reduce, reuse, and recycle? Such menial tasks literally take thirty seconds of our time to call and order a recycling bin. (www.worldofwildlife.org>xspecies)
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. People all around the world have been killing animals for thousands of years and they need to stop and obey the laws. Make your voice heard for the animals; they can’t speak for themselves so we need to do it for them. 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.
Taken from the only place you've ever known. Away from the only family you have. Kept in crates and cages to be sold. Removed from their home, exotic animals are put in yours for personal amusement.This act is ruinous an inhumane, it violates the basic rights of human and animals. Exotic animals have a rightful place in their natural habitats, not as pets, because they endanger the community, become sick, and their owners abandon them.
Remember Harambe the gorilla? Quite a few people were stunned, even outraged, after they heard about his death at the hands of an employee at the Cincinnati Zoo in 2016. A three-year-old boy climbed into the gorilla enclosure and was grabbed and dragged by Harambe, which is what led to his demise. Even though the employee killed the gorilla to save the life of the little boy, millions were infuriated. The reaction to the gorilla’s death was so strong that people were calling for the boy’s parents or the zoo to be held accountable for the death of Harambe.
A long time ago there were a lot of animals that walked this earth that do not exist now. The wooly mammoth lived a long time ago and now today there are scientist that are trying to make them come back to existence. Personally I think that it would be pretty cool to see an animal from back then, but for the rest of the world, I don't think it would be a good idea. The first thing that would be bad is that it would take a lot of time and money to make an animal of that size and keep on reproducing the animals. Another issue that would come it to keep it alive and safe from the polluted world. Last but not least the problem that every Jurassic Park and Jurassic World had, ending up making an animal that they could not control themselves and
"In practice, an animal that roams hundreds of miles in the wild can find itself contained in a space no bigger than a living room." - YaleGlobal. Exotic animals are not like normal cats and dogs that we see in today’s society. They are wild animals and need to stay wild. Keeping these animals can endanger the owner and the lives of others. People that have unregulated jurisdictions who spend tens of thousands of dollars on exotic animals. People should not keep these animals because it's not secure for the animal's health and they cannot be tamed, and can endanger the lives of others.
While there are laws and restrictions which limit and ban the slaughter and consumption of gorillas, also called “bushmeat”, this seems to be doing very little to minimize the hunting of gorillas. The author states that from a single African marked there may be over a thousand gorilla carcasses sold each year. Since these animals live long lives, bearing only a few kin in their lifetime, they are not reproducing as fast as they are being hunted. Therefore, the gorilla population is becoming smaller and smaller as it cannot
Animals in Captivity Seeing tigers jump over each other, elephants balance on a wooden ball, or orcas waving their tails; it can be easy to forget what they are going through. Some think Zoos, Aquariums, Circuses and other places that collects wild animals are like homes. I disagree, I think zoos are more like prisons. According to dictionary.com a prison is: any place of confinement or involuntary restraint.
Bushmeat is a popular source of animal protein in West and Central Africa. With population rates on the rise, demand for bushmeat is projected to double in two decades. A study found that over 50 percent of the meat sold in markets was wild game with sales estimated at $50 million. Primate meat accounts for 20 percent of that income. The off-take of hunting is not sustainable. Even in circumstances where apes inhabit legally protected forces, it has been reported that chimpanzees are hunted in 50 percent of their protected areas, bonobos in 88 percent and gorillas in 56 percent.
Everyone likes big cats who can jump 9 meters high (30 ft), run as fast as the speed limit, and be as sneaky as a ghost. Well if that's you, and i know it is, you better read this because their population is decreasing rapidly and we need your help to stop it. Although the money, pelts, sights, and medicine is good, losing snow leopards forever is not worth it because it is skyrocketing herbivore population, illegal to kill them, and downright disappointing.
Should we be able to clone extinct animals? The question isn’t can we, it’s should we. No, we shouldn’t. The questions we should consider are “Where were their habitats,” “What caused their extinction,” “When did they become extinct?” Chances are, many of you don’t know the answer to most, if not all, of these questions.
