Recommended: Ethical treatment of animals essay

Why is poaching a concern? What can be done to “turn the tide” against poaching? Poaching is a devastating thing in wildlife. I am explaining this act because poaching makes people sick at heart, a lot of people want to stop this depressing source of action. Wildlife animals should be treated like humans and they shouldn’t be killed for food and other reasons such as ivory. Humans aren’t killed for food like animals are and we have freedom and for the most part live a happy life. It is so sad seeing this happen with these different animals. This devastating and upset poaching act is making people not want to go to the circus and other animal shows because they abuse those animals for no apparent reason and they take these animals out of their natural habitat. Possibly if we didn’t have a circus it would stop people from taking them from their habitat or from the wildlife and other people won’t think it’s okay for this act to happen. …show more content…

Some resolutions to help this issue is that they should have more security or patrol the area at the strongest, stop the animal shows where they abuse these animals, and have more sanctuaries throughout the countries. Although there is a lot of zoos and parks with wildlife in them, the best ones in my opinion are the ones with little to no interaction with humans. These animals are well taken care of in the zoos. Another resource that can prevent illegal poaching is Sanctuaries. Sanctuaries can also help prevent extinction because the animals are in a safe place. If any animal gets injured there are resources available to help make these animals

    The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) breeds Globally Endangered animals and then introduces them back into the wild. ZSL states that the main reasons of extinct species are: Poaching, Pollution, Climate change, and Over Population of the human race due to the need of homes, shops, hospitals and other amenities. The rain forest once encompassed four billion acres of Earth has now depleted to 2.5 billion acres of Earth within a few hundred years. Wetlands have also been destroyed and the provide drinking water for wildlife and humans. Maybe the solution to this problem is not locking away the animals that are endangered, but cracking down on the destruction of habitats.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Exotic Pet Trade

    1274 Words  | 3 Pages

    The exotic pet trade is a booming industry, raking in millions of dollars every year. Everything from harmless leopard geckos to hyenas can be found in 30 of the 50 states. Of those 30 states, only 21 require permits to own these animals (Webber 2010). Indiana has just recently withdrawn its own requirement for permits, making 10 states that allow any kind of exotics without documentation (Kelly 2015). It is estimated that 15,000 big cats are being kept as pets in the United States alone, with more captive tigers in Texas than there are in India. Approximately 15,000 primates and 7.3 million reptiles are also being kept in the US (Webber 2010). What does all of this mean and, more importantly, what can be done about it?

  • Eating Apes by Dale Paterson

    We may not all be conservation biologists, but I believe getting our local communities to petition or raise money and awareness of species going extent can we help. It does not have to stop there, maybe writing letters to big corporations like CIB and voicing our opinions about the bush meat crisis will help them realize that their actions are affecting everyone globally. I feel that many of the corporations involved and behind the illegal slaughtering of apes are under the assumption that their actions are only affecting the local populations and those populations are benefitting because of the food and money. However, I believe that once these companies see that the bush meat crisis and the illegal killing of apes are detrimental on a global scale, can we effectively help end the bush meat crisis.

  • Pros And Cons Of Poaching

    633 Words  | 2 Pages

    First, poaching is a huge game being played. It hurts the animals or species that are being targeted, which causes them to increase their chances of extinction. Orietta C. Estrada, an animal and environmental writer, explains that poaching "is a crime fueled by a lucrative black market trade of animal parts"(onegreenplanet). To these people, it is all about the money. They do not bother to think about how much pain this creature may feel. The only thing they desire to obtain is the big dollars. The animals that are affected by this monstrous act are elephants, tigers, rhinoceros, Tibetan antelopes, gorillas, and great apes(animalpoachers.weebly). The most they have done with dealing with the poachers is give them a cruel punishment for being caught. It does not work because it still happens today and the animals are still dying and becoming

  • Persuasive Essay On Animal Abuse

    1836 Words  | 4 Pages

    Most people are either unaware, or refuse to look at the facts concerning animal abuse. Animal abuse is the immoral and necglectful treatment that threatens the life on an animal. This unethical behavior is often expressed through corporate methods of producing products made from animals. The food and beauty industry are notorious offenders of the welfare of living beings. Evidence has shown that there are well known, multi-billion dollar industries that have been torturing innocent and voiceless animals in secrecy all around the globe. Humans often benefit from these creatures through commercial means, but think little of the agony these animals must endure from the bloodshed. If society is not willing to give up it's exploitative tendencies towards the lives of animals, big and small, then stricter laws need to be enforced defending the animals, and consumers have to be made aware of the atrocities that have been taking place.

    This has been an ongoing problem for many years now and there have been many efforts to stop or catch poachers. There are various solutions that have been tried and tested, but the latest and most effective solutions have yet to be explained. The first and most general solution to this problem and many problems like it is to enforce more severe consequences for this crime. The largest fine ever given to a man for poaching a white-tailed deer was $24,000 for the three laws he broke while he killed the deer. This is not a usual case, but some poachers make good money selling animal organs on the black market, which makes fines an ineffective way to stop poaching.

    Although it may not seem saving or protecting endangered animals is important, it actually and truly is important because animals around the world are being killed for wildlife market goods which is illegal and destroys the species population in that environment. Citizens should take more concern with taking care of these endangered animals before they become totally extinct and will no longer be seen on the face of the earth. Recently researchers have found that poachers (hunters who hunt animals for their value with trading illegal merchandise) are killing thousands of animals a day, and they are doing so even to this day. These species should be treated with more responsibility and care. They are even being killed by human interactions

    Over the years, elephant populations have drastically declined. This is due to human encroachment on their habitat and poaching. Demand for ivory has increased the number of poaching kills in Africa. In 1988, Congress passed the African Elephant Conservation Act, which placed a ban against illegal ivory imports and authorizes government funding for elephant field conservation projects. Although some African countries have initiated African elephant conservation programs, many do not have the sufficient resources to properly manage, conserve and protect their elephant’s populations.
