Why Do Humans Kill Sloths
Sloths have many predators, like an jaguars and humans, there are many more but we are just going to talk about these. Jaguars are the top predator on the ground. Sloths go down to the forest floor once a week, and when they go they can't protect themselves from jaguars. Humans shoot sloths so they can cut down their homes. When they shoot them they stay hanging in the tree because their claws have such a great grip, and the hunters have to climb the tree just to get the sloth. But in my opinion that is too much work just to kill a harmless creature, because they are eventually going to become extinct if humans keep killing sloths. Humans kill sloths so we can use sloths claws for knives. Some people capture sloths as pets and they aren't used

    Not only does TNR save money for animal shelters, but it saves money for the taxpayer as well. You read correctly, your taxpayer dollars are being used to euthanize cats that have no chance of being adopted. It’s a waste of money and time, and it’s absolutely pointless because the cats are going to be replaced anyway by kittens that are being born. Alley Cat Allies, an organization that is dedicated to educating the public on feral cats, advocating for them, and establishing human ways of controlling the feral cat population instead of killing them, stated in their article, “Why Trap-Neuter-Return Feral Cats? The Case for TNR,” that is published on their website, “Over 70% of cats entering shelters are killed - a figure that rises to…

    The two species of sloths include the Brown throated three toed sloth, or the Bradypus variegatus, and the Hoffman’s toe-toed sloth also known as the Choloepus hoffmanni. A few differences between the two toed sloth and the three toed sloth can be found in their digestive systems, home range, relationships with other organisms, diet, and their anatomical structure.

    Many people misunderstand the real sense of the doctrine of 'pre-destination', or 'fate' (Qaza wa Qadr or Qismat). The literal meaning of 'pre-destination', in the Islamic sense, is: 'pre-fixing the fate of someone or something', in the sense of determining the capacity, capability, endowment, function and other faculties. The Qur'an Majeed uses the Arabic word 'taqdir' meaning 'destiny' even for the decreed orbits of the planetary motions; for inorganic substances; as well as for animated creatures, including human beings. Within those pre-fixed limitations, however, conditions could be changed for the better, suffering could be avoided or lessened by human effort and skill.…
