Persuasive Essay On The Mountain Goat

The body has to adjust, but until then, the stomach roles, the ears pop, and the head pounds. As I walk out of the black timber to the next ridge, I notice mountains filled with sagebrush and a few trees. The terrain is gradual, the exact opposite of being in the black timber. Walking through the crusty knee high sagebrush to climb the hillside is a breeze. The wind howls as it comes across the hillsides, for there is nothing to block it. Monster mule deer graze on the horizon, looking out for any situation that may arise. Grizzly bears and cougars are their biggest enemies. The mule deer bolt away once they pick me out as if I was a predator chasing after them. When I look to my other side I see a group of bighorn sheep bedded down on some rocks, where no average human being would be able to harm them. The bighorn sheep do not move a muscle, they know I could never climb the rocks in which they sit on to harm them. The rocks stick out from the side of the mountain, and I wonder how they could possibly be engraved into the mountain side. It is then I truly know I am in God’s country with his creatures. The scenery is beautiful, the most amazing place I have ever

With the extinction of many animals and the changing environment due to human activities, conservation methods should be put into action to save the earth and its residents. With so many negative things happening to the environment it is possible that the earth and its resources could run out in the next few generations. One species, the mountain gorillas, contribute greatly to the well being of the earth and needs to be saved. Being the destroyers of the earth, I believe that it our duty to find a way repent for our negligence to our neighbors and environment.

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 mustangs run with a spirit that makes them legendary here in the west. On a bitter cold morning, dozens of wild horses descend off the mountains of eastern Oregon, galloping miles across the rangeland. Stallions and mares, guiding their young. It is an incredible sight, but also one that infuriates many hard working Americans. Horse’s hoof prints in cattle grazing lands, drinking the water supply dry. Farmers are losing their grazing rights before their cattle even step foot on the property. There is another animal taking over the land. Wild horses.

Miscommunication is the source of the worlds major problems. Change can only occur after both parties have an open conversation. If one party is unable to advocate for themselves, they're placed in extreme danger. You wouldn't utilize manipulation to jeopardize a baby's life. The same logic should apply to Elephants.

Small black forms scramble when you open the doors to the barn scattering into holes in the walls to escape the harsh light they are unaccustomed to. If you get the chance to see one its small beady red eyes glare up at you and its sharp yellow teeth scream filth. Disease is a common notation when used with them. They’ve even become the face of a worldwide epidemic back in the Middle ages. Rats. Disgusting, evil, mean, and dirty little beings that make messes and are too stupid to escape the trap of a life of fear.

An ongoing ethical debate in America is whether horse slaughter should be legalized in the United States. This debate grabs the emotions of many individuals and arises many questions. Horses are normally considered companions that are used for labor and events. Isn’t it inhumane to kill a companion? Aren’t there enough homes for our furry companions? In all reality horses are expensive animals and aren’t always used for their breeding purposes. Humane societies/rescues barely have enough room for neglected small animals, bringing in larger mammals is not plausible. Saving every animal will cause an overpopulation problem and increase the rate of neglect. Horses are being neglected, starved, abused, and even shipped across the country, banning slaughter houses is the truly the inhumane route. Slaughtering isn’t an easy alternative, but allowing them to suffer isn’t any better.

Animals that talk are a figment of one’s imagination, however one author uses them to explain his views about other people. Animal Farm authored by George Orwell, a satire fiction, is about animals who rebel against their owners and create a life for themselves at Manor, Pinchfield, and Foxwood Farm. Snowball and Napoleon are both persuasive yet divided on their intentions for the farm.

Wild horses are something that most people know about, at least to an extent. To many they are the embodiment of the word “freedom”, they are creatures that have been around for centuries roaming free in the mountains and wilderness, pretty much left unchecked except by their natural predators. Gorgeous, majestic, and full of spirit are words that can all be used to describe wild horses and pictures of them make great desktop backgrounds and calendars that show a peaceful and wonderful view of nature. What, then, is the issue with the wild horses and why are there arguements over what needs to be done with them? As a brief explanation wild horses are becoming a nuisance for everyone around them – the ecosystem and humans alike. When left unchecked, as they had been before, what happens, and why is it such a big deal?

Each 12 months, greater than 100,000 American horses—operating, racing and associate horses and even children’s ponies—are inhumanely conveyed lengthy distances in cramped

What if I told you there was a way to save so many lives by just keeping one animal off of the roads? There is a serious problem that a lot of people are facing especially late at night. There have been as horrible incidents as to where people have lost their lives. Or in less serious but still devastating incidents peoples cars become completely totaled. You never know you might just be on a late night drive heading down main street to pick your kid up from soccer practice when all of a sudden a deer jumps out from nowhere in front of your car and completely destroys it. That is just talking about damage to the car too. Hitting a deer can also put your life at risk and can cause fatal injuries.

Many people challenge the rules for several different reasons. It’s always appropriate to challenge the rules when the rules are unfair, or against what you think is right. You can challenge the rules to make them fair and equal for everyone. Just how the two excerpts, Animal Farm by George Orwell, and Texas vs. Johnson, by the U.S. Supreme Court. These two excerpts explore the issue of when it is appropriate to challenge the rules. Challenging the rules can lead to positive or negative outcomes. You can change the rules for a good reason, or a bad one, but it’s always better to challenge the rules in order to make them more equal.

The trees and surrounding mountain peaks were covered in about nine inches of fresh snow that had fallen a few days prior to our visit. We gradually drove through thick timber, and open sage covered meadows. We knew the area very well from past hunting and camping trips, so we were happy to be in it once again. We drove eyes peeled for both dead, dry logs and for elk. The whole family was blessed that year with nice deer and were happy to maybe top it off with a nice bull. We drove for another fifteen minutes before we reached the treed area that had the logs we wanted, dead but dry, logs that had little amounts of branches. We spent the next hour or so, felling and cutting the fifty to sixty foot tree into ten foot sections so they could fit into the small little Toyota Tacoma bed. We ended with about ten to fifteen logs weighing sixty to seventy pounds in the back of the truck. Making it sag in the back quite a bit. We both gave each other a look of satisfaction and a smile. The drive and the pursuit of elk wasn’t over and the sun was still up for another two hours. We decided to continue up the mountain until the snow was too deep. Once we reached that point, we turned around and made our way down the mountain. The drive was even better going down than going up. The sun casted shadows and made an orange glow over the snow covered mountain; not to mention that I was out of school since lunch time. As the sun set further and further behind the horizon, my attitude toward killing an elk fell too. We drove pass sage flats and snow covered draws with iced over creeks. We reached a part in the road where we were up on the side of a hill looking down on a small creek that had scattered pine and willow trees. On the other side of the draw was a tree line about two thirds of the way up the hill and sage from there down. My eyes wandered from the tree line to the creek. As we passed a pine tree that covered my line

Imagine it’s 30 years in the future, you and your little grandchildren are going to the zoo to see the new and improved Wooly Mammoth. Except it’s not improved, it’s not even a purebred Wooly Mammoth, and its stuck in a cage. Scientist are trying to decide if they should resurrect the Wooly Mammoth, by breeding its embryo with an Asian Elephant. The Wooly Mammoth shouldn't be resurrected because, there is no habitat for them, costs, and is it even logically possible.

With nearly millions of animals dying each year from being captive, or endangered species being hunted down and killed, we need to discover a new way of displaying that our world is full of beautiful animals and wildlife. Wild animals are suffering both physically and mentally from the lack of freedom that confinement imposes. These harmful environments are preventing animals from having the opportunity to live in, and be exposed to their natural habitats. Keeping animals imprisoned in cages and small enclosures just for the sake of human observation causes stress and frustration, which is risking animals overall health and well being. These morally unacceptable and cruel actions of retaining wild animals in captivity is certainly wrong.
