Persuasive Essay On Animal Extinction

What if you woke up one day and all the animals in the world were gone? Would you be scared? You should because people would die one by one until no one will live on earth. If there were no bees there would be no flowers or trees and we would run out of oxygen. What if there was a farmer with 4,000 cows he sells them to the stores, and we buy them and if there are no cows the stores wouldn’t have as much money. I chose this topic because I like animals and I would like to know what is happening to them and I want to try to keep the animals alive. Also, I will tell other people what is happening to animals and ask them to try to tell as many people as they could so it could be stopped. When I was researching animal extinction I wanted to know how animals are becoming extinct, are there any animal habits that are reserved meaning they can’t hunt there. I also want to know how many people caused the extinction of spices. After all the research that I did this problem can be solved we can find and create ways to stop animal extinction. My problem is that animals are becoming extinct this means that we would run out of food and oxygen. What if there was a farmer with 4,000 cows he sells them to the stores, and we buy them and if there are no cows the stores wouldn’t have as much money.

The deeper I dig into animal abuse , the more I want to become a vegetarian. But it is not easy as it seems. The things that I have seen and read makes me sick to my stomach. To watch a hopeless cow, get whipped , is sickening. Watching baby Chicklets die in a big machine , brings tears to my eyes. Millions of animals every day die cruel deaths , and I no longer want to be an accomplice to the crimes. While it may be hard to retrain myself , I should and intend to just stop eating meat.

This mass extinction, with a rate possibly higher than it’s ever been in the last 65 million years, has been caused humankind ourselves! By cutting down forests and burning fossil fuels, humans are changing the world and not in a good way. The author also mentions how our moving species around contributes to the mass extinction because the new species may become invasive and, in the long run, cause the native species of a particular area to become extinct, such occurrences have already been documented happening in Hawaii. However, not all is bad, as the article also mentions how people are doing what they can, for example the government passing bills or citizens donating to the World Wildlife Fund and other organizations, to help the

For to long the world has ignored China's Speciesism and it's repugnant miscynist citizens living inside and outside this vile country

2)listener relevance: Many species go extinct daily, which ruins ecosystems and causes extinction to other organisms that live in that environment. Which leads to extinction of larger organisms and possibly could even lead to us.

“It’s frightening but true: our planet is now in the midst of a sixth mass extinction of plants and animals” (Greenwald). I know what you are thinking. Does this include humans too? No, not yet at least. But, animal species from all over the world are struggling to survive in their own habitats. Why? Well, because of you, and by you, I mean the human race. Animal extinction is caused by humans because we cause climate change, poach endangered species, and we destroy habitats.

The earth has been around for 4.6 billion years, and over this time 99.9% of all of the species that have existed on earth have gone extinct. (Barnosky, et al) Palaeontologists characterize mass extinctions as times in Earth’s history when the Earth loses more than three-quarters of its species in a geologically short period of time. This has occurred 5 times over the past 540 million years, and scientists are now suggesting it is happening a 6th time. We are in the midst of a sixth mass extinction that has the potential to wipe out many species of importance, and humans have a profound impact on it.

Over 1,000 species die off every year, because of us. We are wiping out species over 1,000 faster than nature can create new ones. There are over 1,000,000 species worldwide. If we keep up the rate of killing over 1,000 species a year by the year 102,017 all species excluding humans will be extinct. It may seem like a long time until you think about all of the animals on a worldwide spread, gone forever. Some that are already extinct are the well know dodo bird, passenger pigeon, and the sea mink. All due to poaching.

Endangered species can change a habitat due to their role in the environment. The EPA helps protect these endangered species with the help of National and State Parks in the United States. Each endangered species has different factors of why it is becoming endangered. Endangered species are sometimes caused by their loss of habitat. Reasons for the endangerment of a species can vary greatly from their loss of habitat to high genetic vulnerability to invasive species. Rapid climate change contributes to the endangerment of many arctic wildlife. The Endangered Species Act and the Endangered Protection Agency protects endangered and threatened species.

In this article they calculate the rate of extinction before humans as well as the rate of extinctions during human existence. The article helps the viewer to understand how much the human population has affected the rate of extinction.

The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment’s Summary for Decision-Makers brought to light the fact that the rate of species extinction, over time, has increased at an alarming rate. This is distressing because species extinction means loss of biodiversity: a measure of a healthy environment. There are five main drivers, that are interconnected, that influence biodiversity loss and species extinction. While all five are interconnected they are strongly related to one in particular. That driver is human population size. The other four drivers are habitat destruction, overexploitation of resources, pollution, and the introduction of alien species. Biodiversity loss and species extinction, and the healthiness of the environment, are all influenced by

Resources for many species are decreasing that means 9 out of every 100 mammal species are left homeless due to climate change and other global problems. Every day 50 to 150 species in the tropics becomes extinct.

Humans are the cause of mass extinction, in just 500 years,humans have been the cause of 322 animal extinctions, with two thirds of those occurring in the last century alone. Humans are making animals, endangered, or extinct; by our hunting, killing habitats, and most of all pollution. We should start making the Earth more friendly, for animals, and less deadly.

Bill Freedmen, author of “Endangered Species—Human Causes Of Extinction and Endangerment” notes, “scientists approximate that present extinction rates are 1,000 to 10,000 times higher than the average natural extinction rate.” These distressing numbers should be acted upon to save the endangered species and avoid the catastrophic change to this planet if these species were to become extinct. In order to produce change, people need to recognize that habitat loss, climate change, and poaching are all factors in why our animal species are going extinct.

Scientists calculate that without humans about one to five species would die a year, which is considered the background rate of extinction. But in our current society human activities are destroying many of the chances these animals need to survive. We as a planet are killing species at
