Why Should Trophy Hunting Be Banned

Did you know you are 4 times more likely to be killed with a knife or other cutting instrument than you are by a rifle or a shotgun? Gun rights and gun control are always hot items during any political discussion, whether it is between peers or politicians. One of the many great advantages to being an American is the ability to choose for one's own self what to believe in. Another advantage, in my opinion, is the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Laws should not restrict gun rights because first, it would infringe the second amendment, second, guns are a part of our culture, and finally, if guns were outlawed, citizens of the U.S. would become vulnerable.

Big game trophy hunting is flat out one of the worst kind of violations you can commit as I personally see it. Knowing that humans kill animals just to show off or either claiming it as a "sport" is truly a sad situation going on. Big game trophy hunting should be banned because it is an inhumane and dangerous practice, they can possibly be killing endangered species, and wildlife populations immensely begin plummeting. Moreover what people must understand is that animals deserve to live just like us humans

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.

"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.

In a civilized and cultivated country, wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen”("MARC FOLCO: Some hunting, fishing quotes to live by"). Hunters are the leading source for all conservation programs. Theodore Roosevelt was one of the most passionate hunters. People put down hunting like it’s a bad thing. Many hunters contribute billions of dollars the the economy. Hunting should not be banned because of the positive impacts it has on society.

A little over a year ago there was a public outcry over the death of an African lion by the name of Cecil. Cecil was an alpha male who lived in a national park in Zimbabwe. He was a popular animal for park visitors and was tracked by the wildlife

Hunting has been a part of life for many since the beginning of time, but in this generation some hunting has transformed into a barbaric and cruel practice. The sport of hunting has begun to invade the lives of many endangered species, which has drawn much concern. And in recent news, a Minnesota dentist was caught hunting a protected lion in Zimbabwe. The death of this particular lion has produced a deep shock throughout the entire world and people are now on the hunt for him to charge him for his wrongdoings. The article “US should forbid the import of lion ‘trophies’” not only informs readers of the recent crime involving the Minnesota Dentist, but also encourages a restriction that prevents hunters from bringing home their kills. This

“People matter. People are real.” (Lyga, 57).

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.

Airline travel is arguably safer than that of car travel, with not only less risk for in motion issues and collisions of any sort, but not issues about missing the turn off. Airline travel issues do not usually persist during travel, yet can sometimes happen before the take-off even begins. The issue with Airline travel is not travel hazards, but instead travel protocols often carried out by the airline companies. United Airlines specifically has gone through too many CEO switches and un-transparent business ethics leading to customer complaints and needs to reevaluate business ethics.

When hunting in a public land, hunters are required to wear orange for safety, but does wearing orange make you more obvious. Many hunters are required to wear orange camo because they hunt on public land and because it’s against the law to not wear orange, but most hunters think that wearing orange will give them away indefinitely.

How much longer will we tolerate the atrociously vicious act of hunting foxes with a pack of ferocious dogs? My name is Hassan Salem and I stand for the righteous and ethical act of banning fox hunting. The unscrupulous bloodshed of foxes shall not be accepted in the United Kingdom any longer.

At this very moment thousands of animals are strapped down in laboratories, being injected, poked, prodded, gassed, and even killed, for humans to be able to use the medicine we have access to today. Whether it is ibuprofen, eye drops, tums, etc. , the majority of medicine nowadays is tested extensively on innocent animals in various ways. Animal welfare acts are in place, but they do not protect animals in the ways they should. More acts and laws should be put into place to protect all animals, not just cats, dogs, monkeys, etc., but all animals. Many small rodents and reptiles are not protected by any acts or laws but they matter too. This type of testing on innocent animals have proven to be unnecessary, due to the creation of different non-animal testing methods that are much more accurate. It has been proven in many instances that the benefits are much greater with other medicinal testing, rather than testing on animals. Some of the tests that are conducted on animals, are not applicable to humans. Even though medical testing on animals is still used for many different products today, it is unethical and should be prohibited due to the lack of proven benefits to humans and the idea that medicine can be tested in other ways.

Everyday thousands of animals are brutally murdered by people that participate in the recreational activity that is hunting. Hunting is an activity that involves a person attempting to kill or trap an animal. Hunting is mainly done to animals in the wildlife and often in cases are used for food, clothing, recreation or trade. In my opinion hunting is morally wrong.
