Persuasive Speech On Whooping Cranes

Improved Essays
How would you feel if you were the cause for a beautiful species to go extinct? An endangered species is a group of livings things threatened with the dying off of all their kind. This is what is happening to the whooping crane. There are about 603 left total. Only 28 in Louisiana! We need to help the whooping cranes reach an even higher number if we don’t want to worry about their extinction.

Whooping cranes die because of our growing society but we get things we need. We need more land to live on. Things like the power lines to help our houses functioning. We also need guns to hunt for food. Things like this have to happen in order for our lives to get better. The question is, are we willing to risk killing off species to get all of it?

    One of the emerging values recognized by human beings is the concern for our environments and the living creatures that we share them with, but what would happen if human beings stopped caring for their planet and completely disregarded any other living creature outside of the human race? Expert biologist, Jeff Corwin, discusses this idea in his article “The Sixth Extinction,” published by the Los Angeles Times. He argues in his article that while there have been preventative programs put into place, human beings are actively destroying our planet and slowly killing off hundreds of species with every deforestation project, landfill, and black-market trade. For his article, Corwin uses real life experiences to strengthen his credibility. In addition to his easy-to-understand writing style, Corwin also pulls his audience into the root of his essay by providing shocking facts that give readers an insight as to what could happen if they continue to disregard their planet and the other living species that reside there.…

    Topic: Adopting and Rescuing Animals Specific Purpose: To persuade my effective speaking class the benefits of adopting a pet over buying one from a breeder or pet store. Central Idea: Adopting animals and rescuing is much more beneficial than buying an animal from a pet store because you won’t be unknowingly or knowingly supporting a puppy mill, you will be saving an animal’s life, and you will feel better overall in the end about rescuing your new pet rather than buying. INTRODUCTION Attention-Getter: According to Humane Society of the United States organization’s website I accessed on December 6, 2016, “Each year, 2.7 million adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized in the United States, simply because too many pets come into shelters and…
