The reflection story I choose is called Why I Hunt: A Predators Meditation by Rick Bass. The short story tells of Bass’s love of hunting for both elk and deer. However, the significance of the story goes far beyond merely killing an animal for its meat, as it tells mostly of the emotional struggle he feels as a hunter. Bass acknowledges the fact that he is a predator but wonders if his insatiable need for meat will somehow affect him in a later life. He questions whether or not he will have to pay for all of the innocent animals’ deaths that he has caused.
The close proximity to land is a major threat to the harp seals, because they are closer to both natural predators and human commercial hunters. In efforts to protect the seals the Canadian Government has reconsidered laws currently placed on commercial hunting. Gabel’s article suggests the complete shutdown of commercial hunting. This change would have a major impact on the lively hood of commercial hunters. In order to counter balance the extinction of the harp seal pelt
We hunt for food and resources. In America, hunting is considered a sport, but not for the Indians. And since Martin said the keeper of the animal make the Indians sick, they go on holy war of revenge, and traded the fur of the animal to the English
Do we worry too much about the welfare of animals? Although I personally believe that we do not worry enough about the welfare of animals, I must debate and explore both sides of the argument in order to make a fair judgement. We are constantly surrounded by endless animal cruelty statistics, animal charity and sanctuary commercials and shocking images of how global warming is taking its toll upon the welfare of wild animals in the affected regions. However, we are equally kept informed about the struggles people, our species, endure on a daily basis in the third world countries, whether affected by natural disasters or famine. Some may use this to claim that we worry too much about the welfare of animals, when in reality we should be focusing on the more important matters such as charities which help to support those suffering from injustice, war, and are in need of food and simple supplies in order to survive.
People began to believe that hunters were only killing to "stuff a trophy" or "get a wall hanger" (Taking aim). The Sampson Law Some people think that those who poach have their own rights because the game is on their property or they are in need. In some cases this is true, but only to a certain extent. They state that if the person who owns the property stocks the lake or creek, or has problems with excessive game animals on his or her property, then this will fall into play. Even then they have to apply for special tags to take the
But, it emphasizes the cooperation of communities as a whole to become no-kill. Yes, this is an even larger aspect to tackle than simply just turning shelters away from the “dark side,” but it actually makes full sense once the article is read. The article basically states the same things as above about how no-kill shelters tend to inadvertently dump loads of left over animals onto other shelters for them to deal with: “[C]hoosing to be limited admission by limiting the number of animals you accept, then touting yourself as "no kill" while leaving other rescues to deal with the animals you didn't accept only divides the animal welfare community...which in the end is bad for the animals.” ("KC Dog Blog,"
Actions and measured must be undertaken in order to eliminate these impacts and to return the ecosystem to the natural and balanced state. As we can see the recreational area where the hunting is allowed has a mover diverse and even plant community. Uplifting hunting prohibition and by having a controlled and regulated hunting allowance in the park area could solve the issue of deer overabundance. Another possible measure that could be implemented to realistically eliminate or reduce the overabundance issue is contraceptive treatment of the deer population which would help to decline and regulate the
Some people think that hunting should be stopped, well others believe that hunting should be a constitutional right. All hunting has rules and regulations and no matter what is being hunted you must first have a hunting license. Hunters are limited to when they can hunt certain animals to make sure that animals are not being hunted during breeding seasons. The Department of Natural Resources keeps up with the population of animals and decides what the limits are every year. The D.N.R have officers that make sure people are obeying the law.
It is wrong when it tends otherwise." He supports the idea from two perspectives. First from the utilitarian point of view, he explains that not attempting to conserve wild species jeopardizes resources that humans depend on. The second view, the bio centric position, he emphasizes that wild species have an 'inherent right to exist. I think that to him there are just no other options and he does not want readers to begin to consider not intervening in the lives of wild animals in order to conserve them.
5a: I think that they different because Zaroff from the beginning to kill humans and even though they are both hunters and killers, Rainsford had no choice but to kill Zaroff . Rainsford would never take hunting to that level and Zaroff is proud of his idea to kill humans. What is a quote from the story that catches the theme? 6a: The quote that explains the theme of the story is explained by the quote “The world is made up of two classes--the hunters and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are hunters.” This quote shows that Rainsford thinks that violence is perfectly fine when hunting animals and Zaroff would agree with the quote as well.
