Poaching Of Alberta And Its Effect On All Living Unites

2).With 12.5 million hunters in the United States, it seems as though most families have a reason to support hunting rights in country. Safety is a top propriety; new younger hunters are now required to pass a gun hunting safety class. The safety class deals with such issues as proper handling of a firearm, and safety issues and how one must never point a gun at anything that the hunter does not want to kill.“The hunter education course instills in students the knowledge and skill to be a responsible and safe hunter. The basic course consists of 10 lessons during a minimum of 10 hours. Students learn how hunting accidents are caused and how they can be prevented. Hunter responsibility and safety are stressed throughout the classes, which consist of lectures, demonstrations, group discussions, practical exercises, and individual study and activity assignments” (Wisconsin department of natural resources, 2009, p.1). Hunting is also important to the economy of the country in 2006, [125 million hunters entered the woods spending $22.9 billion that would have not went into the economy without hunting. Total cost of hunting equipment for hunting was $10.7 Billion](“2006 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation,” 2006). Which would not have went to local business without hunting. Hunting is not just a pastime in the United States; it is big business

To start things off, hunting is a major contribution to society. Hunters put so much money into the economy that one could not believe. In fact, in a year, hunters spend upwards of 1 billion dollars a year on tags (“25 Reasons”). Though a lot of that goes back into conservation, a good amount still goes into the economy (“25 Reasons”) About half a million goes back into the conservation(“25 Reasons”) Hunter actually requested an 11% tax on guns, for conservation

The trophy hunting of at-risk grizzly bears is a controversial topic in Canada. It is part of the Canadian cultural inheritance. Hunting grizzly bears are considered to be a legitimate recreational activity in some parts of Canada. They inhabit in the forest and near the costal line. The numbers of bear reached tens of thousands before, but because they are fierce and threatening human beings, they are being hunted and killed. Also, the low mortality rate of grizzly means low population, but they play a critical role as a predator in the ecosystem. The problem is over-hunting and industrialization will cause extinction of this rare species, and lead to disharmony between the government and First Nations. I mainly support the ban of grizzly

As many people know, poaching has been a common problem around the United States. In Idaho specifically, hunting is considered a pretty big sport, therefore there are quite a few poachers in Idaho. Title 36 Fish and Game, Chapter 14 General Penal Provisions, also known as policy 36-1404, speaks and addresses the problem of poaching in the state of Idaho. “Any person who pleads guilty, is found guilty of or is convicted of the illegal killing or the illegal possession or illegal waste of game animals or birds or fish shall reimburse the state for each animal so killed or possessed or wasted” (Idaho Statutes). For each animal there are different punishments, for example elk have a seven hundred and fifty dollar fine for each animal killed, possessed or wasted. As for caribou, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and moose the fine is much larger, on thousand five hundred dollars for each animal. Any other species of big game that was not named results in a four hundred dollar fine for each animal killed, possessed or wasted (Idaho Statutes). Trophy big game animals result in a much larger punishment. Trophy bighorn sheep, trophy moose, trophy mountain goat, and trophy caribou killed, possessed or wasted result in a ten thousand dollar fine. Trophy elk are a five thousand dollar fine and trophy pronghorn antelope, white-tailed deer and mule deer are all two thousand dollars. Any further animals killed within a year of the first killing will result in the doubling of the original

Fish and wildlife in Northern Ontario is facing a crisis created by years of mismanagement and hidden agendas of politicians who have little or no clue how to manage this Northern resource. Too often politicians have use this Ministry to win over voters in the large urban centres by making policies that are considered green and trendy.

In his letter titled “Why Recreational Hunting in Western Canada is Morally Justified,” Sven states that he is arguing for “responsible hunting where the primary benefits are the pleasure of hunting animals in the wilderness and eating their meat.” Despite several strengths, his weaknesses in reasoning outweigh the few positives. Thus, the letter’s overall worth is negligible. The letter’s weaknesses in reasoning lie in Sven’s central justifications for recreational hunting, being human pleasure and eating meat, in his supporting argument for animal suffering, and in his failure to define recreational hunting’s necessity.

While this article addresses various topics and discusses potential solutions, the foundation of these statements lie in the interest of elk and a passion for hunting, thereby exemplifying this organization's immense bias. Furthermore, these article makes no note of the organization authority or credibility, nor do they attempt to provide any validity, thus making this article strictly a statement of opinion.

The Canadian province of Alberta is home to one of the world’s largest unconventional oil reserves — a roughly 140,000 km² area covered by a combination of boreal forest and peatland. Bitumen, the substance comprising these reserves, is a particularly resource intensive and environmentally destructive fuel source to extract, requiring significant amounts of water and often strip-mined land (Huseman & Short, 2012). Now referred to by many as the Athabasca oil sands, the area has traditionally inhabited by a number of Canada’s First Nations (FN) groups. These rich hunting, fishing, and gathering grounds in northern Alberta have sustained FN groups for

Hunting is considered one of America’s most famous and traditional past times. Fathers around the nation, with high hopes of teaching their children the ropes, are constantly threatened by the chances of hunting being exterminated. For the average person, this problem isn’t established by the threatening blows made on our constitutional amendments; instead, the main threat for your average hunter revolves around finding areas to carry out this tradition. Unfortunately, this problem could very-well be the terminal endpoint of fathers observing their children harvest their first big game animal. As an advocate for hunting and any sport revolving around the great outdoors, I constantly sweat over the thought of one day finding myself unable to pursue a passion that I love, strictly because finding areas to hunt on is nearly impossible because of other people’s actions.

Over the past decade, permitted by the Species at Risk Act (“SARA”), the former Conservative Government of Canada made a series of decisions that raise troubling ques-tions with regard to the conservation of endangered species in Canada. This essay exam-ines how the lenient wording of SARA permitted the Federal Government to circumvent the intent of the Act and to inadequately protect the country’s endangered species.

    Poaching has been an elusive, lucrative black market trade of animal parts and over harvests that have had negative side-effects that affected local communities, wildlife populations, and the very environment we live in. In the novel More Poachers Caught, written by Tom Chapin, he enlightens us on some of his apprehensions of poachers that he has had the opportunity to arrest as a game warden of the Northwoods. Tom Chapin is a Hibbing, Minnesota native and a veteran of the the U.S. Army. He received his bachelor’s degree in zoology in 1972 from the University of Minnesota, Duluth. His career as a conservation officer was one of triumph and honor being voted Minnesota conservation officer of the year in 1985. In this

In Canada’s forestry regulations are among the strictest in the world to protect and ensure sustainability due to its diverse wildlife. The provinces and territories manage their own natural resources of forests from federal, First Nation and national parks. The fact provincial and territorial governs a range of forest laws, regulations, and policies from requiring land-use planning. The Aboriginals are respected and considered, along with wildlife habitat protection, timber harvesting and ensure regrowth. Ultimately, the federal government mandate corporations to follow established regulations from international trade, relations and enforcing environmental rules. The governments grant forest companies' rights to harvest timber on the public

There are many controversies out there. Abortion, Gay marriage, global warming. There is one controversy that barely ever comes to light except for a few incidents: Hunting. Nearly 6% of the United States population hunts recreationally. People hunt deer, birds, and bears and many more animals all over the country. Many people agree with hunting for sport and many people don’t. That is why it is important to shed light on both sides of the argument.

The caribou population of British Columbia is dwindling and the government has implemented a culling program that will sacrifice wolves in order to save the caribou. The article, “B.C. begins to hunt wolves by helicopter in order to save endangered mountain caribou herds”, was found in The Vancouver Sun on January 16, 2015. This is newsworthy because the project will take place locally and it is important to know what is happening to our ecosystem. Caribou protection is important to the environment, the well-being of the ecosystem and the delicate food web. However, many are opposed to the culling program because it is an inhumane way to improve the caribou population.

Imagine the world without hunting laws and regulations, the ecosystem would be unbalanced. Beneficial hunting would go down and possibly lead to certain animal species extinction’s; therefore, to avoid detrimental changes in the ecosystem, people need regulations and laws to keep balance. Both society and the environment play a role in maintaining a balance between each other. For many years game wardens have helped patrol and protect the untamed environment. There are times where problems will arise and can be very difficult to handle, yet there is always a way to solve these problems. It just might take some time to put the plan into action to make a change.
