An End to Animal Abuse “Animals are dying all over the world and becoming endangered species mostly because of animal abuse and cruelty” (James Gorman). It is a worldwide problem that will continue unless people are concerned about it or stop doing it. There should be more laws regulating child labor. Animal abuse stops scientists from researching animals. Animals become endangered species. It also causes psychological effect. Animal abuse must be abolished. One reason animal abuse must be abolished

In this act it targets different species’ that is officially listed by the agency then it’s protected by law. It cannot be legally hunted or trapped or harassed. This is an example of preservation because it’s preserving endangered species by protecting them from humans. In the conservation method I chose‚ it meets the requirements by allowing the rangelands

handled. There are many endangered species on the planet‚ but I will be focusing on the Bonobo Monkey and how the destruction of their habit‚ poaching and other issues are affecting their existence. Found mainly near the Congo River in the Dominican Republic their biggest threats are humans. I will examine why these primates are being targeted and what can be done to prevent the extinction of this animal. According to the World Wildlife Fund (2012)‚ there are 5‚689 endangered species and an additional

on protecting endangered species. However‚ most people still have some questions. Why should people prevent a species from extinction? Is it Important? What can humans get from protecting rare species? We can answer these questions from three aspects. People should prevent a species from extinction because humans have the responsibility to protecting endangered species‚ species diversity is important for human beings‚ and rare species have potential value. Species are endangered because of human

How endangerment of animals can be prevented or overcome. There are many ways to help the endangered animal. One of the most important ways to help threatened animals is to conserve their habitat permanently. These habitats are area such as national parks‚ national reserves and wilderness areas. There they can live without interference by human activities. Human’s activities such as deforestation‚ farming‚ over grazing and development result the soil compaction‚ erosion‚ desertification‚ and

Poaching affects animals all over the world‚ but it has taken many cultures too long to realize what is happening to our wildlife population. For example‚ “Over the past 40 years alone‚ nearly 52 percent of the world’s wildlife have been wiped out of existence.”("10 Shocking Facts About How the Illegal Wildlife Trade Drives Species Extinction." One Green Planet. May. 22‚ 2016). Some species that are being killed by this terrible act include‚ but are not excluded to elephants‚ tigers‚ sharks‚ rhinos

satisfactory involvement. The specific aspect of this issue that will be addressed is the role that the government plays in controlling big game populations‚ particularly deer‚ bear and wolf. The control methods evaluated will include hunting‚ the Endangered Species Act‚ and regulating urban sprawl. The first technique to review is hunting. A 2006 survey estimated that 10.7 million hunters pursued big game ("Hunting statistics and‚" 2008). The United States Fish and Wildlife Service recognizes that

because tigers are on the critically endangered list‚ which is why the National Zoo was celebrating Global Tiger Day. This is happening because of poaching and habitat changes. Large plantations have replaced a lot of tiger habitat in several tropical range countries. Tigers occupy only around 7 percent of their historic range. The current wild tiger population is at as few as 3‚200 tigers‚ including only about 400 Sumatran tigers‚ which are listed as critically endangered on the International Union for
