English Persuasive Essay In light of the recent shark culling issue, it has come to many Australian citizen’s attention that something must be done about this situation. It is a situation of ‘kill or be killed’ and the question must be asked as to which is more important: A human’s life or a shark’s life? Sharks already suffer enough from being slaughtered to be put in Shark Fin Soup or for medical research and should not be culled, as they are such an important part of the natural world we live in.

There were some people who wanted to help save the elephants from street life. The second essay I read was “Whales R Us” by Jayme Stayer. Jayme’s attitude is very negative in this essay compared to Bykofsky’s attitude, which has a positive attitude.

Killer Whales in Captivity: Entertainment or Torture? The death of the SeaWorld Orlando’s trainer Dawn Brancheau, in 2010, by one of their performing orcas (named Tilikum) and the subsequent release, in 2013, of the documentary Blackfish, have raised a major controversy not only among animal advocates such as PETA (People of Ethical Treatment of Animals) but also the regular marine park attendees.

The fact that some incidents were kept a secret from the public and new trainers, worsen the situation. After so many years and incidents, the captivity of killer whales or orcas (Orcinus orca) merely for entertainment purposes should be prohibited.

Shark Cull POV Shark Cull POV Good afternoon everybody I’m here to talk about how shark culling is effecting the environment and how it is affecting other species in the marine life. Shark culling not only endangers other marine species, but it also targets endangered shark species and the number of sharks are continuously reducing. Netting for example is an unreliable source of culling sharks as it not only affects sharks, but also affects other species which is not healthy for the marine economy. By culling sharks they are preventing sharks from producing in numbers and increase endangered species. Not only does culling affect the sharks it also strikes the eco system of coral and reefs.

Due to this factor that Australia is in close proximity of the area being affected, Australia has an obligation to protect what is nearest to it. There are 5 species of whale that are located around the Southern Pacific in which Australia is responsible for, “including the humpback and blue whales.” In June 2011, Japanese whalers launched a research whaling deeming the expedition necessary to prove that commercial whaling did not affect the ecosystem. The three vessels that underwent the expedition were faced by the Sea Shepherd, an anti-whaling environmental activist group who ‘hurled paint and stink bombs’ . The fleet, led by Nisshin Maru, were only able to catch a fifth of their planned quota due to the harassment of the anti-whaler activists.
