One of many reasons the B.C wolf cull should continue is because the caribou population is intensely decreasing and wolves are the cause. The wolf population is not endangered and do not have predators which will affect the food chain negatively. In this case, shortening the wolf species would not impact their population greatly. For instance, in B.C 15 of 31 caribou herds are threatened (Government of B.C, no date) and the number will quickly increase if nothing is done to the wolves. If no action is taken place in order to save the caribou, it will be too late and canadas _______animal will soon be extinct. This important because having a steady, controlled cull saves both species from over exploitation and endangerment.…

I looked out the back window of my dad’s white Ford F-250 at the trailer with our camouflage four-wheeler and hundreds of pounds of bait. I was only 11 years old and I was on my way to Two Harbors, MN to hang stands and put out bait for the upcoming bear season. My dad, his brother, his 12-year-old daughter and I were all drawn tags for the 2010 Minnesota bear hunt which opened September 1st. It was our second year of applying for the lottery and we were lucky enough to get drawn. My dad and uncle made a few phone calls and eventually we had a few hundred pounds of gummy bears, donuts, trail mix and cake frosting for the bears.…
Black Elk Speaks written by John Newhart is a biography of a Native American. In the biography Neihardt takes us thru Black Elk’s experiences as the Wasichus (white man) take over the land he lives on. The Wasichus have always been monsters to the Natives. Young kids see them as monsters that will get you if you misbehave and adults see them as merciless murders, due to the fact that they killed many Native women and children; Wasichus also took away culture and tradition from them. We can see through use of pathos, logos, ethos, and diction that Black Elks attitude toward the Wasichus was resentful.…
Did hunter-gatherers have any impact (positive or negative) on their environment as a result of their methods of acquiring food?…
Embarking on an ancestor hunt can be as exciting as looking for buried treasure. For the hunter the early enthusiasm can, however, quickly drain away if early successes are few, and a clear route is not apparent to finding that nugget of information about an ancestor. The sheer enormity of the task may then seem overwhelming.…
One of the most surprising times is when my dad and I were sitting there in our deer stand. It seemed like any other morning until all the sudden there it was a huge deer it came out of nowhere. We were trying to just stay silent and still and had to call our friends and tell them not to got out of there stand. The deer was 200 yards from them. They did not have a powerful enough gun so we had to shoot it. Dad and I were out of our stand already, my dad gets positioned to shoot, then the unreal happened.…
You’re driving home from a movie with your best friends and you’re doing about 60 on a country road you’ve known all your life. All of a sudden, out of your peripheral view, you see a couple of deer heading straight for your cars path. You hit the brake to try to avoid them and narrowly miss. You think to yourself how lucky you are that you didn’t hit one. What you didn’t know is the couple of deer you saw used to be a pack of 4 deer. A week earlier, two different hunters each took a deer from that herd. If it wasn’t for the hunters, you probably would’ve hit at least one deer. Deer hunting isn’t as bad as it is portrayed to be! Hunting controls the deer population and along with predator population and the number of accidents involving deer decrease because of good ethical hunting.…
ame Warden is a risky job and most are not up to the challenge. In this paper we will be going over what the job is and what you will need for it. In it you must protect the nation’s wildlife from such illegal activity as poaching, trapping, and falconry and assist visitors at federal, state, and local parks. As a Game Warden you keep a close watch on fish and wildlife, looking for changes, such as pollution, to their environment. Fish and game wardens investigate criminal behavior related to fish and wildlife, write reports, make arrests, gather evidence, interview suspects and witnesses, and may be called to testify in court. They also assist other law enforcement groups when wildlife (such as cougars, bears, or coyotes) wander into residential areas. Fish and game wardens may also help during search and rescue operations.…
Does usually have one or two fawns a year around late May or early June. Whitetails are so populated because today there are not many bears, cougars, wolves, and coyotes around like there was back in the day. Whitetails love deforestation because it gives them cover from predators and to keep their young safe. Deer numbers increase a lot every year, because not as many people deer hunt anymore and that causes the deer population to go up. Controlling the deer population is important because whitetails leave droppings everywhere, also when they die their carcasses sit there and rot until something eats them. Deer also destroy people's gardens and sometimes deer attack humans. Every year deer cost the U.S 248 million dollars a year in damage to gardens, house yards, and fields. Whitetails also eat 15 million tons of food a year. Sometimes they also eat plants that are very rare, if so those plants may vanish. Also, whitetail deer carry diseases that can kill livestock and other animals. To control the population better, the government has set laws focusing on how many deer and what type of deer you can shoot. Deer are becoming a worldwide populated and domestic problem that is almost impossible to stop.…
The Wolf has a rather interesting history to the nation of the U.S. “The moment the first wolf faced its fear and stepped into the circle of light cast by man's fire has been lost in time. In that now obscure moment, the history of man and wolf was forever changed.” (A History of Wild Wolves in the United States.) For centuries native people of America have depicted wolves in their art telling great stories, some of which man and wolf are joined as one powerful creature.…
Hontavirus Pulmonary Syndrome occurs usually in rural regions where farms, and forests give a proper habitat for the virus's rodent host. People may be unpprotected if they are nearby barns, sheds, and outbuildings. The rodents shack their virus in their saliva, urine, and droppings making the virus get into the air. Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome is mostly transferred to people when they breathe in air infected with the virus. This procedure is known as airborne transmission. Deer mouse was an unknown type of hantavirus. Deer mouse might be transmitting the virus to humans since they live near people. About 30% of the deer mice tested showed they had infection with hantavirus. In May 1993, an outbreak of an unknown lung illness occured in the…
In a typical bear fighting event there are twenty five fights. In each fight, no matter which of the four provinces the event takes place, the rules are the same. A bear is tethered to a central pole by a rope. The length of the rope can vary from two to five metres. Two bull terriers are set onto the tethered bear. The dogs try to make the bear roll over. To make the bear roll over, the dogs target the muzzle, tongue, chin and ears. These parts of the body are the most sensitive. If a dog does manage to attach his body to one of the sensitive parts, he can then proceed to pull the bear down and force it to roll over. The fight ends when either the bear or one of the dogs falls over. The animal that falls to the ground first, loses. At any time in the fight, the dogs' owners may pull the bear out of the fight, if the owner thinks the dog has suffered enough. If this occurs the bear wins the fight. However the bear must continue with the match until the end.…
poaching has increased since the 1900’s there are animals about to be extinct because of black market trafficking. we have about 2,300 black rhinos left in the world. if you know what an dodo bird is then you already know about poaching the dodo was hunted into extinction by dutch sailors and their domesticated animals.
