Human extinction

Hypothesis: The hypothesis being tested was that changes in anti-predatory behavior in captivity could explain the higher invasiveness of wild-caught exotic birds compared to captive-bred exotic birds. Summary: Invasive species are costly to ecosystems and biodiversity, as well as costly economically to remove or control. Identifying exotic species that have a high potential to become invasive is a preventative measure to control such events. One such identifying tool is anti-predatory…

endangered species. b. Restate Thesis: No animal should be treated like an object for the amusement of others. c. Memorable Closer: Steve Irwin once said, “If we teach people about wildlife, they will be touched. Share my wildlife with me. Because humans want to save things that they…

often become depressed, not successful in conservation and exposed to harsh habitat conditions. Animals experience unfair and cruel lives while humans use the excuse of protection to keep them captive.Therefore, I take the position that keeping animals captive is a cruel thing. Animals in captivity are often depressed, lonely, and aggressive due to human interactions. Animals such as dolphins and whales, tend to get frustrated with all the screaming children and clapping adults. They tend to get…

Why are people against owning exotic animals? I understand that exotic animals should be free, but injured ones could become pets. Some animals do not have any hope of surviving in the wild. It is already legal to have them, so why change now. Private ownership should be legal if animal welfare is taken care of. Owning exotic animals should stay legal if born in captivity, not stolen from the wild. Most people are responsible enough to own exotic animals as pets. Captive breeding can…

Not just anyone can be licensed there is a huge process just to hunt an animal. Certain animals that are being hunted are not low on population hunting…

Both invasive species present a danger because they overtake the habitat of other plant life. The Rosarypea can grow over small trees and shrubs, and its roots can grow very deeply onto the ground and are very difficult to remove. The Earleaf acacia is more common in disturbed areas. It has also invaded pinelands, scrub, and hammocks and can displace native vegetation and shade out native plants. It is adapted to nutrient-poor soils in humid tropics and is fire adapted. According to our textbook…

I am against animal experimentation, cruelty, and I don’t think animals should be used in circuses, or abandoned. Thousands of animals die from being left out on the streets and starve or get killed from being abused or forced to fight other animals. Zoo owners and factory farm owners are affected by the leading issue. The main controversies are people who think animals are used for entertainment or to keep animals in farms. Events that are related to this issue are animal cruelty, animal…

African rhino’s may never be seen by our grandchildren. Elephants are continuing to be poached for their horns which are being sold for high prices to people looking to buy ivory. The black and white rhinos that inhabit Africa are already close to extinction with only a couple thousand of each left. If both of these animals end up being removed from their respective environments by poaching, then their environments will also be changed. The poaching of elephants and rhinos is removing two major…

However, by presenting animals to zoo spectators as exhibits, is teaching children that we as humans are able to manipulate creatures in the world, in order to fulfill our curiosity. This skewered topic suggests that animals are not individuals who are able to think, and feel for themselves. (www.captiveanimals.org.) Zoo supporters argue that having…
