Arguments Against Hurricane Panther

The Florida Panther is currently an endangered species of cougar that resides in the southern forests and swamps of Florida. While it is a species of the cougar, it is identified as a panther to be able to clearly distinguish between the other southernmost species of cougar in the United States. The Florida Panther is a carnivore with a diet based on the animals native to their region such as deer, wild hogs, and other small game like rabbits or raccoons. Normally they are solitary animals, their homes range from 75-150 square miles of terrain, and while some homes may overlap it will not be by a lot. This overlap normally comes from females, for mating reasons but due to them being solitary, they are extremely aggressive towards other males

Panthers get energy from food and are carnivore which means they are meat eaters. A panthers diet consist of prey as big mammals and deer, antelopes, and rodents, fish and fruit more. Sometimes panthers eat carrion (animals that are already dead). You probably asking, how do Panthers get their food? Well Panthers hunt for their food with skillful techniques. Panthers are very fast animals and can pounce on their enemies. When panthers run after prey they put their back feet in the tracks that the front feet made so not much sound would be made. If a Panther’s fur blends in with their surroundings they stalk their prey from blushes or trees and then, wait for the right time to pounce on their prey and drive their claws into their back.

Black Panthers are beautiful, intelligent and agile creatures. I chose this species because I love the way domestic cats interact in a general day to day senses. Plus I wanted to learn about a different species of cat that I have never had to research before. Black panthers aren’t native to Florida so they are heard of but there is not much that is known about them. Besides that they are generally compared to the Florida panther even thought they are two completely different species. This research paper will touch basis on survival adoptions, behavior, habitat, their niche, and predator prey relationships of the Black Panthers.

To conclude, the FWC (Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission) also wants to mind people that any exotic pet should never be released into the Florida waters, or land. People need to realize that when you own an exotic animal and don't want the responsibility of caring for it anymore, you need to take it to an animal shelter or a good owner that has the ability and supplies to fill their needs. Letting them go, into the wild could be detrimental to other animals or plants in the

The year is 2050, and you're the President of the United States. Hurricane Glenn has just ravaged most of Louisiana causing billions of dollars of damage and the displacement of thousands of residents. By a vote of 434-1, the House of Representatives passed an emergency funding bill of $20 million to support recovery efforts. The Senate passed the same bill by a vote of 100-0. A recent poll taken by a major media outlet shows that 73% of Americans support the emergency funding bill. Will you veto the bill or sign it into law? Justify your answer.

Tom Logan who is chief of wildlife research for the Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission stated that civilization is the main threat to the survival of the panther." The panthers are being wiped out along with their homeland that is being surrounded by new and upcoming developments. Specifically, the highway is the biggest threat to the Florida panther. Nine panthers have been killed in the last eight years. Plans to complete Interstate - 75 by making it a two-lane toll road called "Alligator Alley" were put on hold because of the community's concern for the panther.

Mens and Women’s Basketball games at High Point University differ however they both build a sense of Panther Nation. To analyzing the symbols of Panther Nation I attended the Men’s Basketball game against Campbell and I played in the Women’s Basketball game against Liberty. During the Men’s game I was a spectator watching in communion with the fans around me; however during the Women’s game I was a player analyzing the action on the court. Watching the games as a fan and a player offered me different perspectives of the Panther Nation.

People do not realize this but there are several panthers killed from car accidents. While panthers are large animals, they are hard to see. This is part of the reason why so many of them are killed by cars. Studies show that in 2012 seventeen panthers died due to “vehicular trauma” (Allen, pg. 11). Then in 2013 another 18 panthers were killed by cars (Allen, pg. 11). There are several

As of this year so far five panthers have died with three road fatalities. In the years to come the Florida panther could possibly become extinct if people are not careful on the roads. Back in 2016 a young panther was found dead on the side of the road and in 2016 around 35 panthers were found dead and 27 from road fatalities. The Florida fish and wildlife conservation is on the lookout for any panthers in the area and making sure they are protected. To protect these panthers even better I think the Florida fish and wildlife workers should put a tracking device on panthers to protect them from the roads and to see what location they are in if they are near some roads or if they are safe in the middle of a forest.

The government basically gave up trying to help out these species twenty years ago. There are some efforts that can be made. Activists and government officials in Florida have been effective in securing some funding for panther recovery; Activists have been especially critical of the Florida panther license plate program, which funds the Florida Panther Research and Management Trust Fund. Launched in nineteen ninety, the license plate has generated significant funding for Florida panthers: License plate sales raised $2.66 million in nineteen ninety eight to nineteen ninety nine and $2.49 million in nineteen ninety nine to two thousand. According to state statute, the Florida Panther Research and Management Trust Fund should be used to increase panther food sources, determine conflicts between public use and panther survival, maintain genetic variability, and support management and enforcement activities that protect panther habitat, in addition to educating the public about panthers and their conservation and working towards reestablishing panthers. When they are invested in panther conservation, experts contend that they are not directed to the panther’s most immediate needs—such as preserving and acquiring habitat or furthering objectives for establishing additional panther populations. The Auditor General for the state of Florida has undertaken an audit of the Florida Panther Trust

The Florida Panthers are on the verge of an identity crisis after missing the playoffs again for the 13th time in 14 seasons. For a fanbase that has only seen the playoffs four times since the team’s inception in 1993, General Manager Dale Tallon is facing a critical turning point for the franchise.

They were once found in different parts of North America ranging from Northern Mexico to Southern Canada. During the early and mid 1900s their populations in many Mideastern and western states of the United States of America reduced because they were hunted because of their high demand of fur. However, in the 1970s the international law began to protect them thus, reducing their high rate of decline (Hansen, 2006).

In the late 1960s, the party members became involved in series of violent confrontations with the police and in a series of court cases. Some even resulted with shoot-outs which resulted with deaths from both sides. The most notably trial was of Huey Newton being accused of killing a policemen in 1967. It resulted in three mistrials by 1971. Also in 1971, thirteen Panthers were accused of conspiring to bomb public places in New York.

Pitfalls are important to recognize ahead of time, this can help towards the companies success and create an environment with less turnover. Having the correct pay incentives according to the job description is another important factor. It's great that you listed several pitfalls for us to see, I found it very informative. If no one tracked the goals of others, then there wouldn't be any incentive for employees to do their best. A good example of this would be; If no one tracked the Panther's Football games then how would we know who won?

These panthers with spots have a soft fur just like any other mammals. Most of the mammals fur are soft. Leopards and jaguars have the same patterns of fur, such as spot that are black. “The coat of most leopards is light tan with many dense black spots” (page. 202 - 203) says Schlitter. Which the leopards are described in some people eyes when they see them. As in the jaguars their fur have bigger spots and sometimes have little spots inside the spots. The leopards fur camouflages them into the grass that is around them, when they are being sneaky for their meal of the day.
