Persuasive Speech : The Ways To Save Animals From Killing Animals

According to the animal cruelty page on the ASPCA website in 2017, one animal is abused with every passing minute. This means that by the time I finish this speech, as many as seven animals will be the victim of undeserved cruelty. Based on these statistics, about 1,440 animals will suffer today.

Over the past 40 years, nearly 52 percent of the world’s wildlife has been wiped out of existence. Africa’s large mammal population, alone, has taken a toll of 59 percent since 1970. A majority of this massive deflation has been caused by the astounding abundance of poaching in these regions. Africa's increasing rates of illegal poaching are a result of humanity’s selfish demand for an individual body part such as tusks, pelts, or bones, which can be sold on the black market for large sums of money. Poaching in Africa is not only illegal, but morally wrong. Efforts to end poaching entirely should be a priority, and with help, it can be stopped.

Around the world, there is an abundance of animals that are becoming extinct or endangered due to poaching. Animals such as Rhinos, Turtles, Gorillas, and the Tigers are critically endangered due to vulnerability and have been jeopardized by human activities. Many countries have legalized poaching, but still this problem has increased significantly in the past decade. If the world does not stop this issue countless of animals will become extinct, and our older generation will never be able to see these exotic animals living in their natural habitat. Poaching is happening all around the world and will never be stopped until people are more educated about this crime and what is occurring from it.

Do animals have the right to a certain quality of life? How would your views change if our cooks got treated the same way cattle and poultry do? How would you feel about them being beaten and brought to their knees just to be detained to know how to cook todays specials? You might think that the food industry has no issues and no faults behind their tasty food, but when you open up the meat curtain, there is a different kind of world out there that is cruel and inhumane. In Robert Kenner’s 2008 film, Food, Inc., He shows the conditions that cows, chickens, and pigs have to live in. The dark and closeted homes in which the animals are closely compacted together and eating, sleeping, and walking in their own manure. As a person who would consider themselves an animal rights activist, most people would agree that the food industry treats their animals like products instead of living things.

Attention Getter: Imagine living in a space about a third the size of this room. You also share this space with 3 other people. This is what animals deal with when living in zoos and aquariums.

Big game hunting is cause A major population damage . One of them is one of the most beloved animals in the world the Elephant. Every year, tens of thousands of elephants are being killed for trophies . Their population in Africa dropped from 62,000 all the way down to 20,000 in the last decade. WWF Global said they are due to be extinct in the next decade if nothing is done to stop the big game hunter. It’s not just Africa, where animals are being killed for trophies. ‘In Canada there is a breed of leopards called Amurs that were driven down to 10 left in the whole world ‘’ What caused this big game hunters from all over came to hunt an

Wildlife hunting is a big business a 2013 estimate valued the illegal poaching trade in Africa worth 17 billion dollars a year and growing. While elephant poaching between 1800’s - 1999 and 2000’s and up have some similarities they also have a wide variety of differences. Elephant poaching in 1800’s-1999 was done to meet the worldwide demands, but elephant poaching in 2000’s and above was done for sport. Elephant poaching is wrong and shouldn’t be done.

Hunting has been around for centuries because it was necessity to survive. But now animals are being killed and mistreated for all the wrong reasons. Our generation has developed over the years and the need to hunt for food is no longer necessary. Though in some developing countries animals are still hunted for food and religious reasons. But animal poaching is affecting number of species going extinct. Due to animal poaching which is the illegal killing, hunting and/or capturing wild animals. Everyday more and more animals are being captured and killed or sold by poachers. The animals that are being killed are being exported to other countries and being sold for their rare parts or sold for meat.Which has become a global problem that many

Although poaching is an illegal act, it is still a growing problem in the world because it is making the extinction of various animals more probable. Not only it cruel, but it affects the environment and ecosystem where these animals reside. Although various people, usually trophy hunters or those uninformed, argue that it isn’t that big of a problem, there are realities to it that won’t be stopped unless we act upon it and bring awareness of the situation.

Every once in a while, my mom and I like to go out to the local pet store to look at all the kittens and little mice for sale in the store. On some days during the week, you can see crates outside of the store, which usually means that there are dogs for sale. My mom and I like to walk around and look at all the dogs that the store has for sale, reading each one’s breed. Everything is fun and cool, until you over hear someone ask the store employee if the animals are happy to be here; which makes you think, are these animals really all that happy about being adopted? Some of the dogs at the store are cheerful and high spirited with their tails wagging, bright eyes, and playful personality; while some of the dogs are miserable and

One world environmental issue that we have to turn our attention to is poaching, specifically in Africa, of animals such as elephants, zebras, lions, black rhinos, and mountain gorillas. Last year alone, over 35000 elephants were killed for their ivory tusks. Ivory is sold illegally for up to $1000 per pound, and the tusks are often carved into jewelry, religious figurines, utensils, and other small trinkets. Around 2000 zebras remain in the wild, and these animals are sought after for their black and white striped skins, which are often made into clothing or accessories. The surviving lion population is a mere 15% of what it used to be, and that is because farmers keep killing them before the lions kill their livestock. Lions are often hunted for fun too, most recently Cecil. The black rhino population is down 97.6% since 1960, and these animals are killed for their valuable horns. The horns are believed to heal various ailments, when in reality, the horns do not cure anything, it’s all myth. Fewer than 900 mountain gorillas remain in the wild, and infant gorillas are often sold on the black market

Poaching is a problem around the entire world. The Anti-poaching Foundation is trying to protect the endangered animals. Anti-poaching reported that modern day poachers use military equipment to kill high-target species such as elephants , rhinos , gorillas,whales and dolphin. The elephant population has dropped to 62% over the last decade.

Statistics tell us that animal poaching has amplified at an exponential rate. Many organizations rose to prevent these kinds of environmental disaster. Cheetahs, Rhinoceros, Elephants, Bears, Tigers, etc. have been victims of animal poaching. These animals are stolen and killed, which is obviously illegally. Elephants, Rhinos and other such mammals are killed for their tusks and horn. Tigers, Leopards, Bears, etc. are killed for their precious skins, which are used for rugs and fur based fabrics and sold on the black

Animal poaching has a bigger price tag than the trophy sitting on the shelf. Poaching is causing iconic animals of many continents and of our oceans to become endangered or even extinct. These animals that people have come to love and fantasize over may be gone before we are (Africa). Elephants, rhinos, lions, and zebras are the animals thought of the most when it comes to animal poaching, but many animals are poached. They are killed for only one quality, like their horns or skins and the rest of the animal is left behind. Poaching is a massive business that is ran by international networks, it’s estimated to make hundreds of millions of dollars (World). Not all wildlife trade is illegal, but it becomes a crisis when an increasing amount of illegal poaching is done and it directly threatens the survival of species in the wild (World). Since 1960 97.6% of the Black Rhino population in Africa has been poached and lions are extinct in seven African countries (Africa).

Most of you probably have a pet of your own. Maybe a dog named Max or a cat named Oliver. Could you imagine seeing them in terrible pain? I honestly don't think there will be one student in this class that would volunteer to let their own pet be tortured for any reason. Am I wrong?
