Persuasive Essay On Endangered Species

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.

Keeping animals in captivity is an argument over the rights for the animals held captive at seaworld or marine parks around the world. Keeping animals held captive is when large sea animals are captured from the ocean and kept in a small enviroment such as a tank or an aquarium that are used for shows and entertainment living an unnatural life.Seaworld is a marine mammal park that puts animals such as whales and dolphins into serious harm that can help in the killing of the species as whales are in danger of extinction.In this report i have found imformation on the affects of keeping whales and dolphins held captive and how they would adapt back to normal life after captivity if possible,

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.

Long-term survival of a species depends on its ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions (Murphy, 1994). Genetic diversity within a species, which has taken 3.5 billion years to evolve, makes adaptations to these changing environments possible. Unfortunately, the rate of extinction of genetically diverse organisms is rapidly increasing, thus reducing this needed biodiversity, largely due to the human impacts of development and expansion. What was an average of one extinction per year before is now one extinction per hour and extinct species numbers are expected to reach approximately one million by the year 2000 (WWW site, Bio 65). As a result governmental and societal action must

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.

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

Taking a family trip to a zoo or a safari park with the kids generally entails a day of fun and exotic entertainment. Children feast their beady eyes on the exotic animals showcased and are in awe at the fascinating things the animals perform. Despite the happiness generated at these locations, people fail to realize the gruesome facts that occur behind the scenes of zoos and safari parks. Although entertainment and education are associated with animal captivity, it remains to be a cruel practice that should be more strictly regulated because of the inhumane circumstances that the businesses subject the animals to.

Many of America’s most important species, including the Bald Eagle and Amur Leopard, are in danger of becoming extinct. The amount of extinctions have exceedingly increased during the late 1900s and early 2000s. Humanity has taken most of the blame for some of the species to become threatened, endangered, or extinct. On the other hand, more species develop when others die. Even though the extra space is filled with new wildlife, it’s tragic to lose a small scale but important species. Once a species dies out, it’s gone forever with no point of return. Human activities, including hunting and fishing, are critical factors considered for the explanation of the exotic animal population decline. Progression could be the biggest factor to the endangerment and extinction of different species. Construction and manufacture destroys their habitats, which causes the species to migrate to another habitat. The safety and preservation of endangered and threatened species improved when legislature and the world took a stand to protect their beloved animals.

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.

The natural selection process leaves the so called “unfit” to die, but is it possible to have an entire species be “unfit”? Well, yes it is possible because it has happened before but it leaves us asking how that happened. It can happen because of extreme environmental changes or even a natural disaster, but they can also all be killed off by humans or their predators. We are able to save species from extinction in many different ways. One way to save species from extinction is sanctuaries. These sanctuaries can have a few animals from an endangered species in case that extinction does happen, these animals in the sanctuaries can reproduce and save the species. Another approach to saving animals from extinction is protecting and rebuilding

Animals are the beginning to the best nerve wrecking filled love you could ever dream of for your life. Ever since I was a young child, I’ve always resonated with the idea of helping animals more so than anyone and anything else in this world. My love for animals had begun when I was a mere four years old. I’ve always had pets: dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and much more. To find out more about how to help adoptable animals in shelters, I contacted Amanda Smasal, a community outreach coordinator at Wayside Waifs. Wayside Waifs is no-kill shelter located in Kansas City, Missouri which has adoptable dogs and cats, ready and willing to go to safe, loving homes.

Imagine this, in the near future when your children are of age and their curiosity begins to blossom and you find yourself at a zoo or in front of the television and you find that there are no animals left and that the last animal of kind was poached for its hide, fur, or ivory. With the dramatic decline of endangered animals, this possibility is eminent.

Nothing can explain the feeling of helping habitats, stopping poaching, and feeding a family, these are all results given by hunting. Hunting is where people go in the outdoors, sit or stand in a blind/cover, for normally a long amount of time, and wait for an animal to come out of the woods. Following spotting the animal of choice, the hunter then shoots, tracks, and harvests the animal that is aloud in there area. In an article there's a line that states, “I still run into people who think that sports hunting is anti environmental. . . from a standpoint of their health and well being, hunters are among the greenest people in the nation today” . In all reality hunting does many beneficial things for any age, one of which being teaching patience. There is many great things that hunters do for the world that are going unnoticed.

Exotic animals should be banned from being purchased, hunted, and or traded from their natural habitat. People can look at an exotic animal for a couple minutes, but captivity affects their whole life. Exotic animals caged in non-natural habitats can experience many physical, and mental issues.

An endangered species is a group (population) of plants, animals or other organisms that is in danger of becoming extinct. This could happen because there are few of that animal left, its predators have grown in number, or the climate that it lives in is changing, or the places it lives in have been destroyed. The World Conservation Union (IUCN) has worked out that endangered species are 40% of all organisms.
