Hunting grizzly bear is seemed as a controversial topics in society. Some countries already banned this activity and classified it into part of the law. However, there is still group of people disagree this decision and consider to be permitted. Hunting grizzly bear is the way to limit their increasing number, grizzly bear is a valuable resource for aboriginal people and it can promote the economy. But if this activity is permitted globally, it will cause more illegal trade, influence the ecosystem and this group of species will become extinct. Hunting grizzly bear should be permitted since it can control the number of grizzly bear well. According to the data, the number of grizzly bear shows a upward trend every year, for example, the BC …show more content…
Moreover, it is natural that bears are offensive so it is impossible for people to prevent their attacking, thus the rate of deaths will rise as the increasing numbers of bears. Secondly, if every country banned the hunting activity, there are some group of aboriginal people will be disappointed. Aboriginal people’s living conditions is more difficult than people who live in central city. As well, they have limited resources can be used in daily life. However, grizzly bear can bring more convince for their life for instance their fur can be made to blanket, their teeth is a good natural material for making a sharp knife. Here is a statement from a native people who live in Alaska: “for the pelt to be used as rugs, used as ornaments”. To think about these people’s living conditions, hunting grizzly bear should be allow. Lastly, hunting grizzly bears can bring more economic opportunities to the people and the community or they will lose large amount of revenue. Hunters need sufficient supply equipments including guns, clothes, and camping cookware. Without these enough preparations, this activity can not be underway. The gun used in hunting is more …show more content…
Everyone understands the importance of the food chain in the environment. If we break any part of it then our ecosystem will suffer the serious damage. Grizzly Bear is on the top-of predators in the food chain, it mostly eat salmons and elks in the environment. The existent of grizzly bear can control the number of salmons and elks well because it will cause over numbers of salmons and elks without grizzly bears. As well as, the quality of river and people’s plantation will be damaged. So it is important to maintain the natural food chain, none of each species can be missed in ecosystem. Moreover, the grizzly bear itself has great commercial value because of their furs and paws. However, many hunters kill the grizzly bears to get their furs and paws and some people will sell them illegally in black marks or going through some personal trade, those group of people gain a large amount of illegal. money from hunting grizzly bear. According to this situation, there are more hunters who prefer do this job, they kill the grizzly bears not for interest habits any more, it already be seemed as the most quick way to make money. In response, many provinces like British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Yukon…… They already outlaw the trade of furs and paws. Most people consider that grizzly is dangerous for them when they stay in a close distance so they must shoot them, so shooting is
This includes, the need for lumber in Canada and the need to transport oil. Transporting lumber and oil is resulting in polluted waters, and bears feeding on polluted fish. Deforestation is affecting Kermode Bears because of habitat loss and the need to transport the cut trees. In the future Kermode Bears could nearly be extinct because of the proposed Enbridge\Gateway pipeline that would transport oil from Alberta's oil sands through The Great Bear Rainforest, to Kitimat British Columbia. After the pipeline, the oil would be sent to market on large oil tankers, with a chance that the oil could be spilt.
Hunting is a common activity all around the world, and if performed properly, can have many benefits to us and the rest of the planet. The art of hunting has been around since the beginning of time. Living off of the land used to be a necessity across the world, until the mass production of food came along. In America, people do not usually need to hunt to survive. However, the population of animal species needs to be controlled. Too many of one type of animal can cause a drastic change to any ecosystem. Food supplies decline quickly, leaving many animals without food. Hunting can help keep the population of a group of animals at a good number, making the lives of the other
The hunters aren’t really arguing for their right to hunt bears; they’re fighting for their freedom. They see hunting as their livelihood. Hunting keeps the population in check and keeps bears from attacking children or raiding farms. With too many bears,
I am going to relocate the grizzly bear because, this isn’t a problem of hunting, where the bear needs to be hunted because of any supposed killing or injuries it done, and it was only one bear, so there is no need to reduce the number in the bear population. However, this may could have been or was already a chronic, so I will contact the local Cody, Wyoming agencies to see if shooting the bear is the best solution, if no other solutions work. I also don’t think trapping is an option, when there is no population or distribution estimates in the need of being done, plus trapping is hard work and costs a lot of money implant in large areas, and when the bear has already been located, it will be easy to get from the one of the two stores. I do
Grizzly Bears - they are large bears that inhabit North America. Many people hunt them.
Around the world, there are thousands of wildlife animals. Gray Wolves are one type of them; their small domestic animals that are very fast, move in packs, and hunt deer and other animals for food. Despite the fact that Gray Wolves hunt deer, they are helpful animals to the ecosystem. Gray Wolves keep the ecosystem’s movement in check. They actually help the environment more than hurt it. They can be as friendly like dogs if raised from pups. They’re very interesting animals and it should be illegal to hunt them because they are almost extinct, they keep the prey population in check, and are unique animals trying to survive.
More importantly, the long term health of the grizzlies can be assured by maintaining a population number of a several thousand. This include expanding their potential living area and connecting the grizzly bear ecosystems to source populations in Canada. In addition to this, delisting relies on the importation of bears to address genetic problems. It requires the importation of two bears every ten years into the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem to address genetic problem. Importing these bears into the ecosystem is not likely to provide necessary gene flow due to the low success of transplants in habitat that is already occupied. Also, the delisting plans does not seem to consider the degree and the pace of habitat change occurring in the region. For example, there is a current loss for whitebark pine (an important food source for the grizzlies) due to mountain pine beetles, blister rust, and global
Bear hunting is an extremely dangerous activity for one to partake in. There are many precautions one must take in order to successfully kill a bear. Although bears are typically calm creatures they can become extremely aggressive and dangerous if threatened. Therefore, one must be aware of their surroundings at all times and ready for any encounter. Normally bears are baited using some kind of container cut open with fruit and other strong smelling foods to draw the bears in. Though dangerous bear hunting does also provide a considerable amount of food for a family. Those you hunt typically do so in order to obtain the meat from the animal. A typical black bear weighs about 240 pounds on average. Though not all of that weight is eatable much of it
While Herzog does touch upon the need for further protection of grizzly bears
Black bears in BC have a population that is 9 times that of the grizzlies, however, the results show that the grizzlies have inflicted 9.7 times more attacks on humans in the past 16 years. This goes to show that grizzly bears have a higher tendency to attack due to the natural factors and stresses that act on them cause them to be much more aggressive with less tolerance to threats (Herrero, Aspects of Evolution and Adaptation in American Black Bears (Ursus americanus Pallas) and Brown and Grizzly Bears (U. arctos Linne.) of North America n.d.). Many other papers such as Herrero’s study in both 1972 and 1985 showed the same results where grizzlies had higher rates of attacks compared to black bears in BC and so it clearly shows that there
In North America, the grizzly bear is a keystone species - not as a predator but as ecosystem engineers. They transfer nutrients from the oceanic ecosystem to the forest ecosystem. The first stage of the transfer
Unfortunately, these bears are losing critically important foods, especially when craving something larger than their usual diet. Cutthroat trout, Whitebark pine seeds, and Elk populations have decreased, leaving bears in
Trophy hunting is an ongoing issue, there are 500,000 black bears in Canada. 29,300 are bears that are legal to kill every year. Activist not in favor of the bear killings try to stop bear hunter but do sometimes go overboard. About 15 activists have been charged but the charges have been dropped. Many bear hunters do kill for fun and for the thriller of it. This does cause a resistance to authority because many believe it is unfair to why bears are being killed for no reason, and how many of the bear hunters are
Big game hunting is a topic that has been popular in the media for years. Some people believe that there is nothing wrong with big game hunting as it creates revenue for communities. Others see animals as only trophies to brag about to their buddies. I personally feel that big game hunting is unethical and should be stopped.
Bear is a true carnivore, but if not prevented the black bear could be a huge problem to humans.
