How to prevent the Great Whites from becoming extinct
In order to put a stop to the brutal killings of this predator there have been a number of conservation
Sharks are being killed by the millions each year (Balaguer 18), and while there are regulations in place attempting to protect sharks from the massive overfishing, regulations alone are not enough. There is a deep-seated stigma surrounding sharks, which will be explained later on, that is negatively affecting attempts at conservation. This paper intends to explain the effect of stigma and cultural views on the overfishing of sharks, as well as the negative effects overfishing and endangerment of sharks has on the ecosystems and the benefits that can come from ecotourism. Increased regulations and the change of the stigma that surrounds sharks must function together in order to salvage their dwindling populations from overfishing.…
The Great White Shark Great white sharks are thought to be one of the most vicious animals on earth because of how they are represented in movies and television shows. In reality they're really just another animal trying to stay alive. Great white sharks are recognized by the grey skin, white bellies, a bullet shaped build and rows of more than 300 really sharp triangular teeth. Great whites are the largest predatory animals in water in the world.…
“I found a nest of baby snakes near the creek and killed them all; I dislike snakes and Constance had never asked me not to” (Jackson 77). According to the National Coalition on Violence Against Animals, “Analyses by sociologists, psychologists and criminologists during the past 25 years show that perpetrators of animal cruelty frequently do not stop with animal victims. Many will move on to commit acts of violence against humans. A 1997 study by Northeastern University and the Massachusetts SPCA reported that nearly 40% of animal abusers had committed violent crimes against…
The justification of killing a misunderstood creature for entertainment and sport rises question on how ethical society is. How is it justified to kill and animal that benefits the environment when petitions would be passed around for a furry kitten that has no benefit? Rattlesnake round ups had created a decline in the eastern diamond back and has caused other states to bring in snakes from Texas to supplement the decline in their state. Many animal groups have not gotten involved in the fight to end the cruelty to these animals because snakes are looked at to be a menace to society.…
In 1975 director Steven Spielberg released the soon to be award winning movie Jaws. The adventure and also thriller movie cost eight million to make. Then racked up two hundred sixty million in the box office during its whole release in theatres. The inspiration for this movie, was brought from a real life story. When four people were killed by a great white in a sequence of attacks near the sea, in 1919, it was later caught and killed by two amateur fishermen.…
People have done little to keep things like this from happening. But, people who really care about the effects of such cruel species can do something about it. They can start by fencing off areas where cattle or other problem causing animals can cause damage to agricultural regions.…
Science Paper Marine biologists study the behaviors of all marine organisms. They also have a lot of knowledge on all marine organisms. However, everything there is to know about the carnivorous great white sharks’ species hasn’t been discovered yet. Scientists can only do so much with these organisms in a controlled environment (or captivity) before an incident occurs where the shark either dies or puts others in danger. Erik Vance’s article, “Why Great White Sharks Are Still a Mystery to Us” provides examples of instances where great whites were put in captivity: “They refuse to live behind glass—in captivity some have starved themselves or slammed their heads against walls.…
Great White Sharks Do you know the real facts behind white sharks? I once thought that sharks were evil or something, until I found out the truth behind sharks. Great white sharks are just a regular creature that are misunderstood from what they really are. White sharks are now becoming endangered thanks to humans that misunderstand them.…
Hunting, as fishing, is an enormous hobby among Americans for centuries. The most common hunting is the hunt of deer, geese, depending on the area you are located even bears. However, men have decided to take the hunting game to another level by hunting bigger and exotic animals, such as lions and other animals located in conservations. In the article “Big Game Hunting”, explains the death of Cecil the lion, appoints locations with the highest rate of Big Game Hunting, when the game had its start, the five most hunted animals and their costs, and how hunting in conservations began to happen. Animals, as humans, have their rights and deserve to be treated fairly; the fact that they are animals does not give any human the right to assassinate…
KPI Princess-Osaani Animal Injustice *Bang Bang * The lion looks behind him, and sees the source of the loud shots. He begins tearing through the wild grasses that slap him in his golden brown muzzle and tickle his brown paws. Heavy steps follow the lion as he begins to put on speed.…
All throughout time, people have been divided due to their differences. People who see others that are different from them will often immediately decide that they are “weird” and put those people lower than themselves. According to Linda Holtzman and Leon Sharpe in their passage, “Theories and Constructs of Race,” Race is just a social construct made by humans to exclude people based on what they look like, where they are from, their culture, etc. If scientists were to look at someone’s deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) compared to another person with, say, different colored skin, they would notice that there is not much of a difference between the two people. Therefore, as Holtzman and Sharpe say, “race is constructed socially, culturally, politically,…
As fishermen are doing their jobs, the shark population is dropping catastrophically. The environmental engineer and writer of Scientific and Educational Publications talked about the shark numbers in the ocean and that the “populations of dusky, oceanic whitetip, and silky sharks in the Gulf of Mexico have declined by 79% to 97% since the 1950s due to overfishing. Massive declines are also reported over the same time period for blue, mako, oceanic whitetip, silky, and thresher sharks in the tropical Pacific Ocean” (“Threats to Aquatic Environments”). As the fishermen continue their job the percentages a dropping more. The lowering percentage is not only directed to one shark species.…
The great white shark: the king of ocean, the evil ruler, destroying everything in it’s path. From the looks of them, it would be understandable to make this assumption. But let’s clear the air for our good friend, the great white. In fact, over 80% percent of shark attacks had survivors. I mean, they lost a limb maybe, but they survived!…
Should exotic animal ownership be legal? Once, when I was in the middle of my fourth grade summer vacation, I went camping with my family. More than once, on the ride there, we saw bears and a couple hawks and eagles. I think exotic animals should be allowed to be owned as pets, because it would be a nice learning experience, as many people wonder what it would be like to own a snake or turtle.…
Ninety nine percent of currently threatened species are at risk due to human activities such as hunting and taking animal body parts. Hunting can be in many forms, such as shooting and trapping. Trapping is when endangered animal are taken into captivity; it is illegal and can lead to their extinction. Trapping is very popular and is used to hunt beavers, coyotes, muskrats, and even fox. These innocent animals are trying to thrive for survival and trapping to kill them for their fur is making their population go down ("Connect.", www.endangered.org).…
