Professor Andrew Franz Esq. CJL 4115 April 15, 2015 Elephant Poaching When one imagines what elephants are like in the wild, they imagine giant animals roaming the land eating plenty of food and drinking plenty of water. The average person may not know, or understand, that there are people that practice the illegal killing of elephants, or poaching, in order to obtain and then sell or trade that ivory for whatever is valuable to the poacher. Poaching is illegal because it has led to the significant decline
Statistics tell us that animal poaching has amplified at an exponential rate. Many organizations rose to prevent these kinds of environmental disaster. Cheetahs, Rhinoceros, Elephants, Bears, Tigers, etc. have been victims of animal poaching. These animals are stolen and killed, which is obviously illegally. Elephants, Rhinos and other such mammals are killed for their tusks and horn. Tigers
them if they are legal to kill. The main animals affected are usually the most common animals poached. The animal the that was affected the most is the black bear. The poaching was so bad, it almost erased black bears from Kentucky. The second most affected animal in western Kentucky is a whitetail deer. This is the most commonly hunted animal in western Kentucky. The poaching of these deer, have at times made the population low. The next most affected animal is the wild turkey. This type of hunting
Animal poaching is the illegal killing of an animal. The biggest reason is commercial need of animal body parts and flesh. Illegal international wildlife trade takes place across the globe to match demand and supply and it is estimated to be worth billions of dollars. In this context, International cooperation is necessary to address this menace. What is Poaching and What Are Its Motives? Poaching is the illegal taking of wildlife, in violation of local, state, or international law. Activities
Animal poaching is rapidly becoming a major problem for wild animals in the United States of America. There is need for effective policies that would eventually reduce or eliminate the vice within the shortest time possible. This research paper will look into the ways in which investments in public education would work positively towards making sure that poaching is eliminated. The research will rely on secondary resources which are found on the various states' archives that have documented the ways
Global Conservation Poaching wildlife places all of the planet at a great risk as the delicate ecosystems must stay balanced in order for the planet to produce the resources that are necessary for survival. Measures have been taken to try to prevent this detriment to survival such as declaring areas of land to be preserved and making it illegal to kill these animals on the preserves. People who are involved in these measures place their lives at risk for the protection of the animals and the pursuit
Animal Poaching and the Effects Thereof Did you know that from 1979-1981 1.3 million elephants were poached? Because elephants have been over hunted, it is now illegal to hunt them. They are rarer. And the ecosystem is damaged. Animal poaching is extremely dangerous and remarkably illegal because, it leads to reduced legal hunting opportunity, and it hurts the ecosystem. Interestingly, elephants are becoming increasingly rare. This, in part, is due to poaching. Elephants are poached
stop all the poaching. Start getting a legal hunting licence for those animals. Every animal that is being poached you can get a special license for them once the population goes up again. Don't take my word for it look it
The poaching of animals and the subsequent trading of illegal animal products are issues that have been prevalent in the media and environmental groups for quite some time. Although one may assume that poaching has declined in recent years due to an increase in overall global awareness, it nevertheless continues to be a pressing concern. A study performed by the Minister of Environmental Affairs for South Africa found that 2015 was the deadliest year for rhinos in decades, with 1,305 killed (Minister
Do know how much poaching is really affected our animals? 35,000 thousand African Elephants were killed just last year. 50% of elephant´s living range is completely gone due to poaching. Elephants are getting poached at an alarming rate, which is not good because they play a very important in the african ecosystem. Elephants provide access to water because of their digging skills. Poaching is an unfortunate action, but we can try to prevent it. We can do this by donating money, trying to get stricter
