Culling

The Misrepresentation of Sharks Do you enjoy the ocean? Whether you do or not, millions of people around the world love the ocean. Many of those people don’t just love the ocean, but also depend on it. Oceans cover approximately 70% of the Earth’s surface and are vital to life around the globe. Beneath the surface of the sea lies copious amounts of life in countless forms. The ocean provides food and jobs for people around the globe. The harvesting of sea animals has become a massive industry…

underlying costs that may not be immediately apparent. These hidden expenses can be larger than the direct costs, encompassing issues such as increased risk of subsequent health disorders in the affected cows, long term effects on milk yield and quality, culling, high labor costs and even farmer health. Risk of Subsequent Health Problems Mastitis (especially subclinical presentation) increases a cow’s susceptibility to developing subsequent diseases. The greater workload on the immune system to…

embedded the fear of being eaten alive by the creature, leading to the slaughter of sharks as a repercussion. In my opinion, this is the initial act to the issues of population and overfishing that Pett incorporated in his cartoon. Now go into shark culling and shark…

Now, thanks to severe winter weather, they're starving - and leaving the park searching for food. The starvation of bison is not an accident of nature but the intended consequence of a disastrous National Park Service policy. Yellowstone's wildlife hubbub began early in this century, when overly zealous protection by park managers allowed elk and bison populations to explode. Each winter, thousands of elk fled the park to be shot by hunters at the boundary at a place known by 1910 as the…

The ‘Clever Buoy’ is the world’s first shark detection buoy, which uses advanced and specifically designed sonar and identification software to detect the sharks’ movements. The Clever Buoy system is calibrated to detect sonar images which match the swim patterns, shapes and wakes which sharks parade, allowing this innovative technology to differentiate sharks from other marine life. The Clever Buoy is as an innovation as it has used existing real-time communication technologies for a newly…

However, totally acknowledgement of Calicott’s premise is difficult as a unit within the ecosystem. Considering that as a human unit, I could be endorsing the culling of humans in support of a balanced system, I tend to lean with an anthropocentric view on Calicott’s ecocentric view. Calicott view of ecosystem balance might include culling via game hunting as appropriate human behavior because of over population of deer. I can logically understand this practice, but morally I remain conflicted…

ADAPTABILITY Adaptability is an important trait in goat meat production. It can be considered as a sub trait under the meat production trait. It can be defined as the ability of the animal (Boer goat) to alter itself to the changes in the environment. Since a breeding objective is the ideal animal a producer aims to breed, a breeding objective under adaptability for goat meat is: To breed a Boer goat that produces good quality goat meat regardless of the environment, with the goat being adapted…

Sharks are human cullers, they are attacking humans in unprovoked attacks. Laura Banks states “Would you still be keen to cuddle up to a great white at night?” In Laura Banks’ article “When sharks are eating people it’s time to cull” portrays shark culling as a justifiable and necessary response to the problem of shark attacks. This is because she sees sharks as menacing and predatory animals that take pleasure in their destruction of human beings. She positions the reader to believe sharks are…

Best Practices in Presenting Evidence According to Wikipedia, “Evidence, broadly construed, is anything presented in support of an assertion”. In every area, unless we are stating our own opinion, evidence is the fundamental building block for making an argument. Any audience, requires an appropriate amount of evidence to believe in the veracity of a presenter’s argument. In the following writing, I will be going through my recent experience in presenting the topic, “Australia SHOULD NOT cull…

Kangaroos for Shoes 23, 126, 349 Kangaroos have fell victim to the culling of Kangaroos allowed by the Australian government(Viva!). Their government has allowed this to happen for decades, with loose regulation and oversight of the hunting. This has lead to the widespread abuse of kangaroos by hunters, only to be sent to a tannery where their leather will be used to make soccer shoes and their fur for winter boots and fashion statements. Misinformation has ravaged the media in Australia,…
