This war destroyed 626 villages ; and more than 200,000 people were killed! Did you know that this war is still continuing today ? While doing the research for this project, I found it very shocking that a huge Genocide had started all due to a dispute for better land. This whole Genocide started when Guatemalan government refused to get the farmers better land. Guatemala's government was the main reason why this genocide took place, they were to selfish to share their land.
Bio 100 Homework due 11/05/12 Name : Nicholas Oliveira Go to the website on cheetah conservation www.Cheetah.org and read the following sections under the tabs About Cheetahs: Intro, Genetic Diversity, & Race for Survival 1. Why are cheetahs endangered? Our attitudes and misconceptions about these species have led to their endangerment because many people deal with their fear by eliminating predators. 2. What are the 5 most common causes of extinction?
People excrete wastes and litter that flow into water systems, and animal habitats, this is slowly polluting water and killing wildlife. And the more the population grows the more wasted were going to produce and cause pollution and damage to the environment. More housing and buildings being built means that were building over were habitats live, the loss of these forests leads to extinction of plants and animals. Also more people means that more goods (like clothes, TVs etc) are wanted, more jobs are needed so more factories are being built witch is affecting out air pollution, which eventually is destroying out atmosphere. Also more food is required so more intensive farming methods are used.
I chose this quote because it tells us that killing animals happens faster than someone gathering knowledge. Next, this book relates to society because many animals in the world are becoming endangered today. An example of this is the Bonobos from the book. Also, there are many problems in the world today just like the war in Congo. Around the world there are Army’s like the one in this book, that do not care what they are shooting at or killing, even if it is a poor animal that has done nothing wrong.
In the story of the Evil of Animal “Rights”, the writer tells us that animals are being test every day which causes death to most of them. He says that it is not a right to kill animals. Then, he gives so many evidences to prove using testing animals are extinct. I think, using animals for testing give us new vaccine which makes our lives better. Without animals for testing, where would our lives be going?
According to jim menster a private breeder of wolves in moscow idaoho, he states wolves have the similar characteristics as dogs and as soon as we learn to get over our fear of wolves we can all learn to appreciate this animal. Many wolves are beeing bred and tried to be introduced to the wild all though once a wolf is domesticated it is very rare for them to be able to survive on their own. Wolves make good pets and are able to function with humans. They have been applied to the sport of doggsledding as recent as the 1950s. Wolves are a crazy animal with a nack for survival.
Diamond mentions on page 107 that a possible ideology that many people that knew about the processes of farming were thinking was, “Shall I spend today hoeing my garden (predictably yielding a lot of vegetables several months from now), gathering shellfish (predictably yielding a little meat today), or hunting deer (yielding possibly a lot of meat today, but more likely nothing)?” Humans and animals are always prioritizing by availability and preferability of food choices. Availability played a key role because as wild game was hunted, its numbers depleted and became harder to hunt, offering less possibility of a decent payoff. This is possibly why in central and southeastern Europe the hunter-gatherer lifestyle became less effective, thus being a less likely life
The extinction of animals will cause more of what they eat this can affect humans by more humans being bite by mosquitoes. The mosquitoes population will increase and anything else that they eat. The recovery and preservation of these animals is complicated because many people do not care about these animals and what it does to them when we destroy their homes, places that they feel safe at.
Mother Nature wrought her fury upon the poor farmer; through grasshoppers, floods, and droughts. But farmers placed the blame of their problems on two key areas: the money supply and the railroads. Deflation became a major problem in the 1800s for famers. Suffering more and more losses, year after year, many farmers were forced into foreclosure by their “Eastern Master (Doc D).” The main reason farmers were blaming this “Eastern Master” was that no one seemed to be aiding them in their plight apart from certain specific institutions, such as the Populist Party and the Grange. So they naturally turned to the Populist Party, who felt that silver was the answer, and the refusal to coin it a “vast conspiracy against mankind” across “two continents” and subsequently supported legislation such as The Sherman Silver Purchase Act, and a rebuke of the Coinage Act of 1873 (Doc A).
From heavy rains, washed out roads, an early snowstorm, and poachers harming the native species being protected within Yellowstone’s boundaries, the park was severely troubled. The resources within the National Park were being exploited by the poachers and it impacted the ecosystem by removing the buffalo and elk. In Jacoby’s, “Crimes against Nature,” the human poachers explained that it was necessary to kill the animals and sell the hides, bones, and meat to keep a roof over their families heads. This relates to the stop on the environmental tour of the woodlots at MSU, because although different situations were occurring the prevalence of exploited natural resources by humans remains constant since the arrival of the Europeans. In order for the animal population as well as Michigan’s forests to regenerate restoration efforts were necessary by humans at both ends of the
