Eddi Flores #9 Why Zoos Should Not be Aloud Although zoos are really cool to visit, I think Zoos should not be allowed, because the animals are caged up and not aloud to see the real world. Sure people don't get to see these animals, but I'm ok without seeing a kangaroo, if I do see them it would be nice, but I'm ok see them on the tv and that's enough. Animals at zoos are sometimes even taken away from their family to be at different zoos like the dad at the LA zoo and the mom at palm beach zoo…

In order to create a one month behavior modification program based on the principles of operating conditioning, one would have to base the program on the roommate motivation on loosing weight. Once that has been completed then one can start to create a weight loss program that would be the most beneficial for their roommate. Furthermore, to have the most success in the weight loss program one needs to be able to calculate a well devised one that will bring the most success for the roommate.…

Did you know that at the present rate of extinction 20% of the world’s animal species could be extinct in the next 30 years. A lot of this is because of changes to living and nonliving things and their habitats affecting the population of an ecosystem. Did you know that oil spills can even affect many worm species causing them to over populate. Also, Wolves aren’t the real bad guys in Yellowstone national park. My last point is about melting glaciers, and how their destruction is causing some of…

Mammoth was hunted down by humans. “Some experts hold that mammoths were hunted to extinction, beginning some 10,000 years ago, by the species that was to become the planet's dominant predator, humans” (AFP, 2010). If Woolly Mammoths were hunted down to extinction, that means they must be really dangerous animals that humans didn’t want them alive anymore. They can help us protect species that are close to extinction, that is what scientists and researchers would say, but from what we know now,…

Ahmed describes the economic case against trophy hunting. It is argued that putting a price on animals such as lions, rhinos, and will help an area to preserve that animals population. Many people claim that trophy hunting is a multi million dollar a year enterprise. However, it’s much smaller than that, only 3% of revenue from trophy hunting goes to community development, and trophy hunting only accounts for 2% of tourist related attractions.Many sub-Saharan African countries now have a ban on…

There are several zoos across the nation that have received the highest accolades. Take for instance just about everyone has been to or heard of the Ft Worth and San Diego zoos. These zoos are some of the most prestigious zoos around. Now let us take a look at the El Paso Zoo. The zoo has only two hundred and twenty two animals…

Legal attempts at resolution: CIITES pros are it is harder and takes a lot longer to get a permit to cut down trees and it protects 700 other species. The negatives is it is not strongly enforced, violators only pay a small fine, countries can exempt themselves from certain species. The positives of the Lacey Act it is one of the broadest of the government to combat wildlife crime. The Lacey Act also is a lot stricter than past laws. The negatives to the Lacey Act is it is hard to regulate and…

Captivity or Death Species reintroduction may sound great on paper as animals are brought back home to the wild and are once again happy. Humans are able to save endangered species and nurture the populations back from the brink. Injured animals have a safe haven in which to rehabilitate and thrive, then return to their family at home in the wild. Animals in animal testing are released from their suffering of being poked and prodded. In theory, this all sounds great, but in reality, one forgets…

sight of the Passenger Pigeon. This new arrival of humans can blame their ancestors for the eradication of the majestic, deep amber bellied, Passenger Pigeon. Over the years, human activity has harmed the natural world, driving some species to near extinction, to the point of helplessness. But even the people that brought destruction and tragedy upon these animals can save them from the neverending darkness of the grave. The human race needs to help rescue endangered species of animals because…

Human movement has likewise accelerated environmental change. In the event that environmental change proceeds at its present level, 25 percent of all species could be in danger by 2050. The pulverization of environments is the primary reason species are getting to be terminated. For instance, sewage and chemicals can change…
