Lesser Prairie Chicken Argumentative Report

In some words the overall summary of When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost, by Joan Morgan is a collective of multiple forms of literature detailing a wide range of the issues that African American women face today. Joan Morgan is a feminist who caters to addressing the modern issues within the world. In other words she defines the feminism she addresses as "Hip-hop Feminism". Within the book the author seems to take a neutral or dual sided approach to feminism. She states that black women have been defined by their men, but also states that the concept of a "strong black woman" is a myth. She takes up the issue of how rap has inherently mysoginistic lyrics, but how she would be lying if she did not find some appeal within the idea of Patriarchy

Thesis Statement: The wild mustang population has grown quite large over the past several decades and now faces in adequate food supply from over grazed land and federal budget cuts that can hinder their protection.

The wilderness and forests need to be saved for the future generations, and a sort of “wilderness bank” needs to be formed in order to keep the reality of the wilderness alive and keep mankind grounded to the earth.

The conquering and development of natural land has in the past, been seen as a mark of human civilization. In the United States, our progress is often measured by growth and development, but should this be re-examined? There are many opinions on the subject of urban sprawl and its effects on wildlife, but one thing is for certain, we are expanding. From 1955 to 2005, urban and suburban areas grew by 300%, however, the population only increased by 75% over the same period (Ewing, Kostyack and Chen). According to NatureServe, a non-profit conservation organization, urban sprawl threatens one of every three endangered species in the United States. NatureServe’s analysis states, “rare and endangered species data shows that three-fifths (60

: CORRECT Agricultural practices improve wildlife habitats and lead to increased species populations in farming communities.

The article ‘Chickens Range Free’ written by a freelance writer Jo Smith conveys the idea that the activists who’ve offered a truck-load of chickens, freedom from their cages were a very humane thing to do. Through his explanations, a reasonable tone has been applied effectively to convince the readers to agree with him. The author has also employed a very confident tone when mentioning how this action has been clearly justified due to human rights. However, although there have been people who have opposed this action of freeing the chickens, the author tries to dominate his stand by employing the use of different persuasive devices such as the inclusive technique, directive language, and analogy, which in this

This week’s reading topic is about the history of chickens. In the Smithsonian article “ How the Chicken Conquered the World” by Andrew Lawler and Jerry Adler, it discusses about how chickens have saved the Western civilization. According to the legend, the Athenian general Themistocles came across a cocks fight during his way to invade the Persians forces. In addition, history records that the Greeks repel the invaders and preserved the civilisation “honors the creatures by breading, frying and dipping them into one’s choice of sauce.” These creatures are known as the descendants of roosters.

Lost species affect the environment negatively and can disrupt ecosystems. Since the 1940s, many conservation efforts have been successful in helping the whooping crane population increase. By failing to ensure that whooping crane habitats have enough food in their winter habitat, the positive effects of conservation have been set back. The State of Texas breached the Migratory Bird Treaty and is liable for the deaths of whooping cranes. Given the outcome of the lawsuit, this situation could happen again in the future. As Canadian citizens, it’s extremely difficult to impact foreign legal decisions, but we can lobby our own government and legislators to encourage more participation in future international issues like this. We can also work with environmental organizations to work towards common goals for the benefit of the environment. We know that habitats must be properly protected and maintained by all parties involved to help not only the whooping crane, but other species as well, recover their population and thrive. Even just on our own as concerned citizens, we can raise awareness about the whooping crane. Although it might not seem like much, the effort that citizens put in can make a huge difference in the health of our endangered

Before there were skyscrapers, before there were convenience stores, and before there were neighborhood developments, our plains and mountains were home to the American Wild Mustang. These magnificent animals are our past, our present, and with proper handling our future. It is imperative that we protect the American Wild Mustang to ensure that many generations to come can appreciate them as we do today. By supporting the gathering, training, auctions, and domestication that the Department of Interior’s Bureau of Land Management conducts we can preserve this heritage. In doing so, we are securing the future of these horses and the happiness that they bring to many

The greater prairie chicken is a stocky chestnut, firmly banished grouse with paler shaded stripes, most effectively perceived by the male's particular and great appearance amid romance presentation. Amid the male's presentation, unmistakable, stretched pinnae (adjusted neck quills) get to be raised over the head, and substantial yellow-orange air sacs in the neck or greater the eye get to be swelled. Both genders have these noticeable neck quills yet they are longer in guys. The genders can likewise be recognized by the short, square tail being dull chestnut in guys, yet banned cocoa and tan in females.

Both my spouses and my families have been practicing agriculture for years. This has introduced me to many of the programs that the Farm Services Agency has to offer. On my mother’s side, they have participated in the CRP Highly Erodible Lands Initiative program. By enrolling in the CRP program, ground they farm in the hills has benefited by increasing the water quality to intermittent streams below and provided habitat for deer, turkeys, and other local wildlife. Their farm located near the Missouri River has some farmers enrolled in the Flood Plain Wetlands initiative in order to combat loss of crops from flooding. It offers waterfowl habitat and minimizes risk in planting crops that flood from year to year. My father-in-law has been enrolled in the SAFE program and he is trying to re-habilitate habitats for prairie chickens. In western Kansas there are wildlife guzzlers on some of the land enrolled in

Betrayal and loneliness are two of the hardest emotions to encounter in life. Nevertheless, at some point everyone will experience and be forced to deal with them. This is made even harder when they are caused by someone you love and trust.  In Meredith Hall’s “Killing Chickens”, she uses various literary devices such as metaphor, simile, and imagery as she processes her husband’s affair and describes having to kill chickens. Hall’s literary nonfiction is based on the happenings of a specific day that was truly hard to handle after being deceived by ones she loved:

“Hunting and ecosystem-based management is the smartest and most cost-effective way to manage our wildlife. The basic idea of ecosystem-based management is that you manage ecosystems rather than specific species or disciplines.” For example “you do not mange pheasants as much as you manage the ecosystem in which the pheasants live. If the ecosystem is improved, it will produce more pheasants naturally.”(1)

The raising of poultry mainly fulfills the purposes of meat,eggs and feather production, and sometimes for religious ceremonies (Scanes et al., 2004). Poultry are efficient converters of feed to food. Food of poultry origin serves the highest nutritional values, with egg being not only delicious but extremely nutritious and balance of all nutrients (Scanes et al., 2004).

The reserve is surrounded by highly modified landscapes dominated by intensive agricultural and horticultural land use. Common land use for surrounding areas include the growing of cereal crops, grapes and citrus (DOC Gray's Bush. n.d).
