Despite being ‘cruel’ in order to meet the requirements of ‘Australians for Animal Rights’, humans have considered the report ‘alternative’ and ‘important’, compounding the agency’s apparent guilt. This attack on humans invites both readers and carnivores by choice to support the tough action done by the Australians for Animal Rights in defence of the animal society. The tone of the article becomes less forceful when explaining the Australians for Animal Rights’s response. Talk of ‘compassionate people’ and ‘breaking the law’ gives way to a more conciliatory tone, reporting an agreement between humans and the Australians for Animal Rights in order to ‘justify’ to ‘damage’, risks and ‘poor creatures’ involved. Jo’s use of language is most likely intended to encouraging the readers to accept their ‘self-serving purposes’ and to perceive of ‘animal rights’ as a

A little over a year ago there was a public outcry over the death of an African lion by the name of Cecil. Cecil was an alpha male who lived in a national park in Zimbabwe. He was a popular animal for park visitors and was tracked by the wildlife

In 2010, investigators went into a zoo and filmed sick animals that were just left on the floor to rot at the Tweddle Farm Zoo. When they were all done they had to take sick rabbits to the vet to have their infection cared for. Along with their discovery of this zoo they found a monkey who was fed

In Heather Wilhelm’s “Cecil the Lion and America’s Broken Outrage Meter,” written in 2015, the killing of Africa’s most beloved lion is discussed and tried. Cecil the Lion is one of Zimbabwe’s most famous animals and is located on his own natural preserve. Dr. Walter James Palmer, dentist from Minnesota, hired a group of “professional guides” to assist him in the hunting of the king of the jungle. Palmer says he did not know of Cecil the lion and only wanted to sportily hunt the animal, not to cruelly murder him. This controversy has been going on for over 3 months now on what really happened and who is responsible for the bloodshed of the famous lion. Celebrities such as Sharon Osbourne, Jimmy Kimmel, and even PETA themselves have suggested

The death of an endangered species was a very controversial subjects within the world today. One of the most recent was the illegal hunting and killing of Cecil the Lion. Walter Palmer, the hunter, tracked and stole the life of an endangered species. In Matthew Drake’s article, “Cecil the Lion,” Walter Palmer should be fined because he poached an endangered species, he killed an endangered species, and he caused a cascade of deaths within the pride. One of the major arguments was that Palmer took the life of a dwindling species.

From the furore over trophy hunting, the public could be forgiven for thinking that it was the major threat facing lions. But in reality, the key issues are loss of habitat, prey loss from bushmeat poaching and

The case of the mountain lion P-45 is complex for two reasons. On one hand, he has killed several domestic animals in the Santa Monica Mountains leading people to fear for their property and themselves. On the other, he provides a much-needed new gene flow into an area that suffers from severe inbreeding that could lead to the population entering an extinction vortex. I will argue that P-45 should be left in the Santa Monica Mountains ecosystem and later relocated only when two conditions have been met because it would adhere to the ecocentric principle of conserving the biotic community. The first condition is that the wildlife corridor must be constructed across 101 Freeway, connecting the isolated area with those other mountain lions inhabit.

A prized lion named Cecil who was 13 years, old was shot and killed on July 1, by a man named Walter James Palmer. Two Zimbabweans have already been arrested for giving Palmer false information about the lion saying that it was legal to shoot him while they were hunting. Palmer stated that he hired the two as professional guides for $50,000 and they got him proper permits so he assumed that everything that they did on the trip was legal. He claims to have had no idea that the lion was one of the local favorites. Coincidentally, a man that goes by the same name and is the same age as Palmer, illegally killed a black bear in Wisconsin a few years back and had to pay a fine of $3,000. The three men went out hunting at night with

Cecil was poached by a man named Walter Palmer, which had caused a huge problem for the people of ZImbabwe. Due to Palmers inhumane desires for “ hunting” he selfishly took a life that did no wrong. Palmer claimed to be hunting but what he did was not considered to be hunting infact he lured Cecil out of the Nature Reserve, Cecil was not given a fair chance to live but was set up to be killed. Cecil was not meant to be killed, he was a tagged lion that was being studied. Cecil was a lion that was very popular, a life that should not have been taken away, he was not hurting anyone, he was in a nature reserve where he belonged but as for Walter Palmer he should have not been there. Palmer knew where he was, and what he was doing if he did not

Big-game hunting is ethical if executed properly. With the recent death of Cecil the lion, renowned and “beloved” tenant of a local animal reserve in Zimbabwe, a massive uproar of “anti-hunting” protests have risen to the surface. While these oppositions are with good intentions they also squash the opinions and experiences of native Zimbabweans who view creatures like Cecil as objects of terror. While it is true that trophy hunting is indeed unethical, as it is harmful to the ecosystem, the native people of areas where hunters can pay to slay large game think otherwise. As the individuals most greatly impacted by changes in the ecosystem, their voices deserve to be heard over those of sympathetic Americans. In the article “In Zimbabwe, We

Majestic, noble, and brave, this famous iconic wild animal on the planet has captivated the people since the beginning of time. They are most feared by other animals thus, known as the king of the jungle – no other than the lions. Member of the genus Panthera, the lion is one of the big cats in the Felidae family.
