Why Is It Important To Cecil The Lion

"Outcry for Cecil the Lion Could Undercut Conservation Efforts." The New York Times. The New York Times, 10 Aug. 2015. Web. 26 Sept. 2016. It begins to explain the perspective of Mr. Dorrington. A nonfiction piece of emotion, so not actually true. It portrays a feeling of what he felt as many others when Cecil was killed. After it begins to explain what would have happened if someone were to want to buy game off of National organizations. In Africa’s case; “There’s only two places on the earth where wildlife at a large scale has actually increased in the 20th century, and those are North America and southern Africa,” [said Rosie Cooney, a zoologist who is the chairwoman of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Sustainable Use and Livelihoods Specialist Group. “Both of those models of conservation were built around hunting.”] So it’s acceptable as a “sport” but when you think about organizations taking almost extinct animals and using that district as something for fun you decrease the animal species, whereas when you look where there are animal perseverations the large scale has actually increases.

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

Remember Cecil the Lion? A lot of people were shocked, even outraged, when they heard about his death at the hands of an American hunter in 2015. The response to the lion’s death was so strong that the guy who shot Cecil basically went into hiding until he issued an apology. Our society reacts with horror when we hear about a majestic lion being shot or sacks of kittens being tossed into rivers, or owners training their dogs to fight each other for sport. However, what is the difference between killings Cecil and killing a duck, deer, cow, pig, or a chicken? How do we reconcile the strong feelings many of us have about certain animals, mainly the cute ones like kittens and puppies, with the way we actual use animals in our own lives?

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

Trophy hunting should be banned because it is cruel and is driving certain animal populations into extinction. The author, Louisa Lombard’s argument is that trophy hunting is not only a cruel act against animals but nature. According to Louisa Lombard “African antelopes are endangered, yet wealthy trophy hunters spend small fortunes massacring these magnificent animals”(2014). The author is stating that most trophy hunters are wealthy therefore they have more money and time to travel to Africa, they can also buy more expensive guns which are more powerful and damaging. She also states that trophy hunting is ruining the peacefulness of Africa, and that more government action is needed to end this. Another animal that has been targeted recently is the lion. One of the most recent killings was of the beloved lion Cecil. “An American dentist’s recent killing of a lion Cecil in Zimbabwe sparked public outrage, but it largely obscured the

In recent news, it was made known that the ban on importing lion and elephant trophies into the United States was lifted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. After hundreds of thousands of responses were directed at the Trump administration to stop the lift of the ban, President Trump put a hold on it in order for him to “review conservation facts.” This issue is completely controversial and while half of society believes that trophy hunting is beneficial to the conservation of certain species, the other half believes that this argument is invalid since it is completely contradictory. Although there are some benefits to trophy hunting, it is incredibly immoral and detrimental to the environment and there are better ways to implement those benefits rather than killing animals.

Trophy Hunting is the act of killing animals to use its parts for decoration like its skin, skull, or horns. It has been around for hundreds of years, used by the French since the 1800’s. Trophy Hunting is a very controversial concept, although some think it just drives species down to extinction or endangerment, others think it helps conservation since the money from the hunts will go towards conservation efforts. Despite the idea that money from the hunts goes towards larger conservation efforts, it usually doesn’t help the population of endangered species at all; it just drives the population down more so Trophy Hunting should be banned.

Walter Palmer, the man who killed Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe will not face charges, according to USA Today, Oct. 12, 2015. Walter is a Minnesota dentist who hunted in Zimbabwe and got his trophy lion. Cecil was a protected lion but it appears that nothing will be done to the dentist who murdered the lion. The technicality in this ruling is because his papers were in order, a Cabinet minister said today. This decision angered many people. Many people in the United States called for his deportation, but it seems this dentist is laughing at them as he retains his prize.

Walter Palmer killed a well known lion on July 1 2015, the attention from everyone after the kill was awful. Fans of Cecil the lion made their voices clear to be heard, the lion who was in a sanctuary in Zimbabwe was a well known lion that researchers kept an eye on Cecil for basic research, and for entertainment. Walter Palmer was the only person who killed Cecil illegally as he lured the lion off the sanctuary to make the shot. According to the author, “They tied a dead animal to their vehicle to lure Cecil out of the park and they sented an area about half a kilometre from the park. Brian Bakst also talks about how Palmer made the kill illegally. “He’s also accused of bribing a guide and removing Cecil’s GPS collar, a violation of park rules.” said the guards in Zimbabwe. The main problem of Walter Palmer killing the Cecil the lion, people were watching him as he was an important lion.

I guess the good that can come from trophy hunting is the awareness that it brings to the animals, and now people want to protect them instead of hunting them. The bad things about trophy hunting are that hunters say that they are killing the old or the weak to keep the herd or pride strong, but by killing a male lion they are also killing off his bloodline. It takes a long time for elephants to reproduce and when hunters take out the bull elephants from a herd, there is one less mate

418 people out of 100,000 go to the emergency room for animal related injuries per year(statistia 2016). If we have trophy hunts we can reduce these numbers. Recently Cecil the lion was killed, he was shot by a hunter. He had all of the right permits and the lion went out of the protected area and was shot and the hunter had no idea was protected. Big game hunting laws should not change because it brings a lot of revenue to countries, it helps manage the animal populations and it keeps from hurting more people/animals.

When a Minnesota dentist killed a prized African lion named "Cecil" he received an onslaught of criticism and reignited the debate concerning hunting. I hunt. I have hunted for years and I don't see anything wrong with it.  The reasons I hunt are for the meat, I think it tastes better than store-bought meat and it doesn't have any additives in it, and for the time I get to spend out in the mountains. However, there are some people who are against hunting.

The act of trophy hunting involves killing a large animal to obtain a “trophy” off of the dead creature. Whether it be a pelt, tusk, bones or some may even take the whole stuffed body. This practice is cruel, unethical, and should not be continued. Should we allow hunters to kill these animals for what they call a prize?

Trophy hunting is a sport that is designed for men to showcase power, skill, and wealth. There is no other way for one to feel more accomplished than hanging the head of a majestic animal that is about to go extinct on a wall. Trophy hunting is a recreational activity which involves the hunting of wild game, such as: rhinos, lions, elephants, and leopards. The more rare the animal, the more value its carcass possesses . It is common for the hunter to keep the head, antlers, skin, and teeth of its prey. However, every other body part is left out in the wilderness as waste.

From the Killing of Cecil many chains have happened. One os the effects is that American Airlines, United Airlines, and Delta announce that they'll stop carrying trophies for certain animals. Another effect is that The U.S. announces protections for two lion subspecies, this law will make it tougher for hunters to smuggle lion trophies.
