The Grizzly Reality Of Trophy Hunting

This is because, one, simply put, in our modern day Society trophy hunting or hunting in general is not needed, to include endangered animals Within the game hunting will also affect their overall environment, and trophy hunting is overall an inhumane

Today, Louisiana has made extraordinary rescues with species that were once considered threatened or endangered. Due to safe planning and the Endangered Species Act, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service projected to remove the Louisiana Black Bear from the list of threatened species. In May 2015, approximately 350 black bears to 600 black bears existed in Northern Louisiana in which $900,000 was invested to restore its population. Severe habitat loss of the black bear is what initially led to the decline in the population. In 1992, the Louisiana Black Bear was placed on the list of endangered and threatened species and in May 2015, they were officially removed (Wildlife Division - Texas Parks and Wildlife Department,

On the other hand, trophy hunting, which is “the selective hunting of animals for human recreation” , is a problem that can increase the risk of extinction. UK scientists confirm that hunters have the tendency to hunt the animal with the best genes. There is an intense discussion about the rightness of this activity because some argue

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service are considering removing the gray wolf from the endangered species list once Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming have enough wolves to be deemed sufficient to continue to expand the wolf population, requiring only that each of these three states have a management plan in effect to prevent the gray wolf from becoming endangered again. With the current attitude of the governments in these states, the wolf should not lose their federal support under the Endangered Species Act as it would merely serve to cause the wolves to become endangered once again, or at best, held to the absolute minimum population that the states can pass off as “viable, self-sustaining populations”

Specific Purpose: To argue that the federal government should take the grizzly bears off of the endangered species act for the bears that are around and in Yellowstone National Park.

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

Delisting the Grizzly allows hunters to resume their hobby outside of national parks (NPS). Fortunately, Yellowstone keeps the desire to keep the Grizzlies managed, and protected considering Yellowstone values their Grizzly populations as a dominant species (NPS). Some states are requesting limits on bear hunting, while others are allowing bears to be hunted just like Elk and Deer (NPS). Along with hunters, humans pose a great threat to Grizzly populations as well. Reducing conflicts between Grizzlies and humans is one of the best ways to conserve the natural beauty.

As you can see from my proposed title, I would like to discuss the Grey Wolves in Yellowstone National Park. After listening to a speech given by Doug Smith on Iowa State’s campus, the topic has sparked my attention. He came to Iowa State and presented at the Errington Lecture. I think wolves are interesting and they, like every other animal or wildlife should be protected if need to be. Moreover, I think this paper will help me learn more about wolves, policy processes, and more about the ESA. I

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation decided to lift the ban on bear hunting temporarily. It is said that this is just to manage the population and to help out the issue of human-bear conflicts (Wiley). Set for a week, the ban ended early on account of the number of bears set to kill was accomplished, there were to be brought to a check in station

The grizzly bears in Alaska and Canada are not safe because over there they are hunted and are big game trophies. If These bears are not killed they can live up to twenty five years. The grizzly bears population

According to NLCATP.org, “One of the most controversial aspects of hunting is the prospect that an animal may be suffering from a long and painful death.” Allowing an animal to endure projected periods of anguish before their time of death is unethical. Trophy hunting can be defined as a type of hunting that is done for pleasure or sport instead of for food. Many people must hunt because it is their way of life, but they are not murdering animals because they can. Instead, they are utilizing animals as a source of nourishment and especially for those in less developed countries, it is imperative to their survival. However, when you allow wealthy people to come and trophy hunt at their leisure, we are also receding the food supply of those who are in

Hunters argue that if the Department of Fish and Wildlife declare the grizzly population stable then they should be allowed to hunt the bears. As of now the Department of Fish and Wildlife has declared the grizzly population stable at a nearly doubled population from that in the 70’s. As stated by a avid hunter “ If Yellowstone 's bear population falls precipitously after delisting, the federal government can come back in and declare the bears endangered again”. With positive support from the Department of Fish and Wildlife it seems grizzlies will soon be fair game.

According to the FWC, hunting supports keeping population size in check, fewer bears being pushed into neighborhoods and increasing wariness and fear of humans. Bears were removed from Florida’s threatened species list in 2012. About 300 bears are expected to be killed by an unlimited number of permitted hunters. Florida has an estimated 3,150 black bears in four regions — the eastern Panhandle, Northeast Florida, east-central Florida and South Florida — where the hunts would be conducted, according to the Panama City New Herald. The numbers are based on 2002 estimates for the eastern Panhandle and South Florida, and a 2014 count in the Northeast Florida and east-central Florida regions.

We have certain laws to make sure the Grizzlies are protected. Yellowstone National Park removed the Grizzlies from being in contact with humans so they would stay wild. The Grizzle was put on the endangered species list in 1975. There were only 136 roaming in the park. The bear was on the endangered list for 42 years but in 2017 the bear lost the protection of the endangered species list.

Every year, trophy hunters kill tens of thousands of animals, some of them threatened or endangered, exclusively for the thrill of bringing home a trophy . In order to acquire trophies, trophy hunters tend to work with outfitters that arrange equipment, supplies, and often trained guides. This section will further elaborate on the business of trophy hunting.
