Persuasive Essay On Endangered Species

Sumatran Tigers are listed on the critically endangered list with around 400-500 left in the world. The main reason Sumatran Tigers are on the verge of extinction is because is because of the loss of habitat. “As recently as 1978 the Sumatran Tiger more than 1,000 Sumatran Tigers lived on Sumatra, now there is around 400-500 Sumatran Tigers (Lee Poston).” The loss of habitat resulting in the deaths of tigers is due to the agricultural expansion in Sumatra. There are protection units that gather intelligence to stop poachers and remove their snares.

September 7, 1936 marked the final day of the existence of the Tasmanian Tiger. Restricted to the boundaries of its man-made cage, the last Tasmanian Tiger slipped into a never ending slumber, leaving behind a somber echo of what once was. Playing the role of an invasive species, humans played a huge part in the avoidable extinction of this species, along with the introduction of the dingo. The de-extinction movement has presented the possibility of bringing back the tasmanian tiger after 81 years of declared extinction. Whether this plan is followed through with or not, the extinction of this creature brought to the attention of the world the need to protect our ever fading species diversity.

“The tiger is the biggest of the big cats, reaching an extraordinary 4 meters in length and 350 kilograms in weight-as heavy as 100 domestic cats!” (“Tiger Facts” 1). That is one big cat! You might think that such a large predator would thrive, but tigers are an endangered species, and have been for years. “Intelligent and agile, big cats are ideally designed to hunt, with sharp teeth and claws, strong jaws, powerful bodies, excellent eyesight, acute hearing and a good sense of smell” (“Tiger Facts” 1). They are also very beautiful; these are some of the reasons why tigers are used in circuses, displayed in zoos, seen at fairs, and even kept as personal pets. Keeping tigers captive can be good or bad taking into account the feeding and

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.

Big game hunting is slowly lowering the population of animals. "Schelling Ameena from Hunters Say Trophy Hunting Helps Animals. Here's Why They're Wrong." says "big game hunters will argue that killing can help a species by removing older animals from the population or say that they can trust the government to set sustainable hunting quotas." Sadly, governments are more interested in how much an animal can bring in than how many they kill. The loss of these animals is not only hurting them but hurting us too, an example are elephants. When an older elephant is hunted and killed they leave their baby elephants to fend for themselves. If a baby elephant grows up with no guidance it could have a negative effect on them consequently, they could become more hostile. Hunters are not watching carefully how many animals they kill, causing the animal population to decrease.

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

Only around 300 are left in the wild, not because of deforestation or other animals. Because of us, and now they’re endangered. We would hunt them for fun, and target the weak. They would attack to protect the young, they aren’t the vicious killers, we are. We couldn’t stop killing and now they are illegal to kill, and people are trying to save them. People who out of pure spite shot them, killed them.

The main cause of endangerment is deforestation. Deforestation is the clearing of trees and transforming a forest into clear land. This leads to habitat loss. Although it is very harmful to many species, the government does not punish anyone for deforestation. Poaching is also a huge problem. Jaguars are being poached for their unique coats. Also, jaguars are being taken into public zoos which results in death. If the jaguar did ever go extinct, the domino effect could go into action and the same thing would happen to other

Millions of animal species are endangered because people kill animals, people do not take time to care for them, and people do not understand the meaning of endangered animals. Animals cannot do anything about what happened to them, because studies show that animals do not understand what humans do. Since the animals do not understand what is going on people need to help them out, and support how they react to the economy. Throughout history, animals are becoming more endangered as the years go on, because of how people treat their economy and how they treat the species around their area. The problem with this society is that people would rather go on with their days than use ten minutes to help save an animals life.

Even with this act creatures like the Sumatran tiger are still facing certain extinction. These tigers live on the island of Sumatra. There are many threats to their species survival. One of the main threats to them is poachers.

Main causes for endangerment is destruction of the biome, hunting, and pollution. Some of the endangered animals include gorillas and bengal tigers. Gorillas are endangered because of destruction of the environment and hunting. There is an estimated 80% of gorilla population extinct. The bengal tiger is endangered because of poaching. Since bengal tigers do not die easily from bullets poachers would kill them with poisoned meats to cause the tiger a long and agonising death. There are also endangered plants, such as the orchids and mangrove trees. The orchids are endangered because of how beautiful they are and people just want to pick them. Mangrove trees are endangered because of poachers trying to get there bark off of the tree. So many plants and animals will be extinct if there is not a

If you aren’t concerned with innocent animals being euthanized because they aren’t getting adopted then stop reading here. Every year thousands of sheltered and animals are being euthanized due to the fact that people don’t want to adopt them. By finding bright spots in shelters such as similarities between animals that are adopted, and then find out how to spread those characteristics to other animals in the shelter. I’ll be researching potential ways to increase the animals’ happiness and then hopefully their personalities will change as well.

As a result, in 1982 the Siberian tiger Protection Project was started. Sanctuaries have been set up and they are trying to reduce deforestation. Now there are laws against poaching. Unfortunately, people continue to hunt tigers and the tiger population continues to be very small.

There are hundreds of animal species that are endangered and could possibly be extinct within a few years. Some people might think that poaching endangered species is fine because we are getting cool looking furs from them, but that animal could go extinct and the can effect many other animal species and they could also go extinct. People need to stop poaching endangered species because hundreds of animal species are now extinct or almost extinct because of the criminals killing them even though they know that, that animal is almost extinct, then they leave the animal lay there dead, and the last few of a species are struggling to hold on.

Saving animals from extinction should be the main priority. Over 200 animals and plants go extinct every day. According to Jessica Phlean “humans hunted the tiger population down to just 5000 to 7000 individuals worldwide by the late 1990s” (Phlean). How could have we done this to these magnificent creatures. That
