Shark Killer Persuasive Essay

Are sharks going to be around forever?

Sharks rule the sea, they are the very top. Sharks are known to be aggressive, mean, and known to attack so people want to kill when seen, but that is not entirely true. Attack of the human is very rare so no need to be afraid. There is problems with the overuse of sharks as in people love to eat them I believe that it’s going to be difficult to stop the overuse of sharks but if we were to inform the population about our problem, it would make it a whole lot easier. This would solve many problems of the overuse of sharks and the future will be bright for Sea Wolves. Yes, we also kill them for their teeth and jaws, and we kill them for shark leather for shoes and belts. We slaughter them for shark liver oil and for shark cartilage for pseudo cancer cures. Sharks are used in cosmetics, skin care products and in medicines.We kill sharks because of our fear of them, for food, for sport, and most disturbing of all - so that some of us can make a tasteless, expensive soup to impress our family and friends. ( I honestly don’t think some of these reasons why we kill sharks is valid because we don’t kill humans for fun, why should we kill living animals? The only way we can prevent shark killing would be to spread the word. Let the world know that it’s not okay to kill endangered

Sharks kill only about 12 humans per year. If we continue the shark killing, in the next few hundred years, sharks will become extinct. If sharks are to become extinct, some other creatures will soon become extinct because the prey that sharks usually eat, will eat the smaller animals that used to be protected by sharks. As they usually hunt old, weak or sick prey, they help to keep the prey population in good condition, healthy and strong, enabling sharks from ocean ecosystems, although complex and rather unpredictable, are very likely to be ecologically and ecologically

    The premier of Western Australia, Colin Barnett, had announced the shark culling policy in 2014 in response to the shark attack fatalities. The shark culling policy authorizes sharks larger than three metres, such as: the great white, bull and tiger sharks to be slaughtered. Sharks smaller than three metres would be liberated offshore. I highly believe that sharks shouldn’t be culled no matter what size they are. We are in the sharks’ habitation and there are other procedures to prevent shark attacks.…

    When we say that a shark culling program you will think of the pain the sharks go through as well as the inhumanity on our behalf for killing them. This thought is complete incorrect. The way in which the sharks are culled we will be very precise and only handled among the highest of the professionals. We will euthanize the sharks giving them a quick painless death ensuring that no suffering nor pain is to come to them. We will take great care and much importance will be placed over such a project and we assure only sharks that pose a genuine threat will be…

    Australian Sea Lion Essay

    White Pointer Sharks, otherwise known as a Great White Shark, view this species of sea lion as prey (Goldsworthy, SD et al. 2009) for a food source. If the Australian Sea Lion ceased to exist, so would the White Pointer Shark due to its primary source of nutrition dying out. In this scenario a separate food chain and ecosystem, that would ordinarily be managed by White Pointer Sharks (being a keystone species), would lose its balance if the Australian Sea Lion went extinct. This is why it is imperative for the Australian Sea lion to remain alive to manage the serenity amongst the oceanic community, without humans interfering in their…

    Peter Benchley, the author of “Great White Sharks”, regrets writing the novel Jaws because his view on sharks have completely changed from then. He now realizes that sharks are gentle animals, And that we pose a bigger threat to them than them posing a threat to us. People believed that sharks willingly attacked boats and humans because of this novel, This became common knowledge and everyone accepted that fact. Now we know that almost every shark attack is an accident, Sharks mistakes humans for their common prey and that’s why sharks never go in for a second bite when attacking a human. People also believed that whenever a shark smells even a small hint of blood they go on a feeding frenzy, This is also a lie.…

    Killer whales have been kept in captivity since 1961 and at least 165 orcas have died in captivity, not including 30 miscarried or stillborn calves. Dozens of wild orcas are plucked from their families and forced to live in artificial social groupings. There are currently a total of 60 orcas held in captivity in many entertainment parks. “While the whales have been spotted with rake marks caused by tankmates' teeth, and a host of serious injuries caused by fighting, Fischbeck confirmed just how regular - and severe - the fighting could get” (Schelling). People began capturing whales for entertainment purposes in the late 1960’s.…

    There is a dispute about who has killed more when it comes to first place this is because the Oceanic whitetip shark could have killed more unrecorded castaways but the great whites have the most announced deaths. The places with the most Great white sharks are Gansbaai, South Africa (otherwise known as shark alley) and New Smyrna Beach, Florida (widely known as the shark attack capital of the world). I’m not saying you shouldn’t go there I’m just telling you to be warier around those areas! Now you can see that we a have so much to learn about them.

    Whaling has been a controversial activity for some years now. Whales in today’s society have been regarded as “gentle giants” and highly intelligent animals, which is true. Some nations however, such as the Norwegian and Japanese have whaling deeply rooted in their culture and history. For many centuries, their ancestors took part in whaling as a means to sustain their life, livelihood and culture. I agree with the Norwegian and Japanese position on permitting the hunting of non-endangered species of whales as a cultural exemption, given that the hunting of the whales is regulated to prevent over-hunting so that the whale population can replenish.…
