Persuasive Essay On Endangered Animals

Ever since a young age, I have been a passionate animal enthusiast. I cannot image a life without a dog by my side. Animals are not just pets, or food, or part of the environment. They are intelligent creatures and deserve to be treated as such. Animals have evolved just as we have. The evolution theory even says humans evolved from primates. So why do animals not have rights? They have a brain and can learn and grow, just as we can. It can also be argued that animals have a soul. I believe animals not only have dignity, but they also have rights.

Her name was Snow White, beautiful eyes with a smile so bright, perked up ears that rose to the sky and beautiful black and white fur that made you feel safe when needed someone to talk to or even a hug. Since birth she was loyal, since birth she was faithful, but the reality of it all is that, not every owner knew how to take care of her. An animal is known to be more than a companion and our savior of the night, which is why we should understand the reality behind animal welfare, but in actuality, we don’t. But, they’re some habits to create a positive impact on animal welfare. From taking your pet to the veterinarian every six months to making sure your animal feels loved and appreciated by giving them attention, they are a lot more ways

As a child, many people would often go to the zoo or to the circus and see animals in real life. In circuses, animals would often perform tricks and stunts, dazzling the audience. In the zoo, people would often see animals in their native habitat, or what looks like it. Children were mainly amazed with the animals and were always exited to go see the animals. As the years go by, they start to realize that some of the animals are suffering and are being mistreated, especially in circuses. They see that the animals in zoos are depressed and lonely and the animals in the circuses are chained up. What is worse is that animals in laboratories are often treated very poorly; more poorly than what Americans treat prisoners and refugees. There have been many debates on whether animals should be held in captivity. Some groups believe that animals should not be held in captivity because they have the same capacities as humans. They believe that animals can feel emotion and have a sense of morality. Animals in captivity are deprived of their natural habitat and their instincts. Animals raised in captivity tend to rely more on humans compared to animals raised in the wild. They also believe zookeepers and trainers are putting themselves at risk when taking care of the animals. There have been many incidents including the death of trainers by animals, one highlighted by the movie “Blackfish” by director Gabriela Cowperthwaite. There are others who believe that putting animals in captivity is beneficial for not only the animal, but for humans as well. Humans get more jobs if more animals are put into captivity because there is an increase in the amount of people needed. Another benefit of keeping animals in captivity is that it could help save a species who is endangered and close to going extinct. Another benefit is that it helps increase the amount of food available because some animals are raised for food. Putting animals in captivity wrong unless they are being used for the animal’s benefits.

The African elephant is the largest living land mammal and one of the most impressive animals on Earth. The elephant trunk serves as a nose, hand, extra foot, helps gather food, siphoning water, dusting, and digging. The trunk can reach up to 23ft. The elephant habitat is dense forest to open planes. Elephants are herbivore. An elephant's lifespan is 60 to 70 years. A elephants predator is a human.

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.

Animal shelters are overflowing, some euthanizing dogs just because they no longer have the resources to care for these animals, yet people are still buying their dogs from the pet store. When getting a new dog, adopt it from the animal shelter rather than buying it from a pet store.

It is the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant. The name of its species refers to its camel-like shape and it leopard-like colors. They range all over Africa from Chad to the South Africa to Niger and to Somalia. They live in savannas, grasslands, and open woodlands. They primarily feed on acacia leaves. They find food at heights untouched by smaller animals.

A place without life is hardly even a place at all. The waves would flow over the oceans rocks, the sun would shine on the green leaves without prevail. The world builds with pollution, plants expand, and food virtually ends. In an environment, lacking the fundamentals of life, the existence of humans would experience complications of survival and health. The living cells of species provide a world of opportunity, health, and life. Over the last one hundred years, the population of endangered species has drastically risen. With the inadequate decisions regarding living species, the rate of endangered and threatened species will continue to increase. Through many different developments, species can be considered endangered or threatened and this condition can result from a multitude of factors and direct effects to the species. Groups, services, and organizations work together to protect these species through conservation practices and government assistance.

Male African elephants usually live alone but sometimes they will form a group of other males.

Invasive species are organisms that aren’t native to a certain land, and result in a negative effect. The Kudzu plant (Pueraria Montana) is an obnoxious plant species that surrounds everything in it’s path, giving it the nick-name The Vine That Ate The South. Kudzu originated in Japan and was brought to the U.S. because expedition attendees from Philadelphia thought it was pretty. Removing the Kudzu plant would lead to less property being destroyed and less plants dying. I believe that we should make an attempt to remove the Kudzu plant because it is a great nuisance. Although there are some advantages to the removal of the invasive species, the limitations are more significant than the advantages.

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.

African elephant also known as (savanna elephant) are the largest mammals on earth. They are slightly larger than their Asian cousins and can be identified by their very large ears. The male and female both have tusks that they use to dig for food. Female elephants (cows) live in family herds with their young ones, but adult males (bulls) tend to roam on their own. Also they usually are ten to fifth teen elephants in one group. The genus name if the African elephant is Elephantidae.

Such as the African elephant have larger ears shaped like the continent of Africa itself. The ears of the African elephant help radiate the heat from the sun. But the lucky Asian elephant doesn’t have to worry about heat because they live in shady jungle areas. Another interesting characteristic about the elephant is that their feet are spongy pads to take the strain off the leg, so they aren’t constantly breaking bones in their legs. Also, the feet of the elephant make it almost impossible for you to hear them when they run, but when their is a herd you can definitely feel the earth shake and the rumble of the elephants! A male Asian elephant is about 12000 pounds and is about 8.9 feet tall. But, the female Asian elephant is about 6000 pounds

Everyone who has kids knows that said kids always want a family pet, and, if they don’t have one, they will be constantly asking for that puppy in the window, or that kitten in the gutter, or even that stray raccoon that probably has rabies. This is often a problem for a young family that’s just starting out. There isn’t enough room, or it would cost too much, or it won’t be as cute once it grows up and the kids will get bored of it, and so on and so forth. If only there was an animal out there that could silence these unending requests for a pet and at the same time fit into the busy and practical household of the typical American family. Well, how about a rabbit? Rabbits make some of the best pets for children because they are easy to take care of, cheap to buy and maintain, are absolutely adorable and varied, and are even a great way to teach kids how to run a business.

Animals are part of a branch of science typically found in biology. Animals are sometimes used for testing to observe different traits and their abilities. We test on animals, because of moral reasoning that humans should not be tested on. The reality is, why are animals being tested on? Animals are part of life like any other living organism. These organisms are a large reason we exist today as our main source of food, typically proteins. When we test on animals, we are unaware on how they are internally feeling. We can see their physical attributes such as shivering, whimpering, or crying. We do not test on humans, because we know how they will react. Humans don’t want to experiment on each other as we will feel like objects, but why do we make animals feel like objects? Everything we do for ourselves contradicts what we do to other living organisms, mainly involving animals. This is why animals’ rights is such an extensive debate relating to ethics. Animal rights are the justices belonging to animals to live freely from medical research, hunting, and other services to humans. Applying ethics and morals to the topic, animal rights should be extended and should be practiced on.
