"Animals are more than ever a test of our character, of mankind's capacity for empathy and for decent, honorable conduct and faithful stewardship. We are called to treat them with kindness, not because they have rights or power or some claim to equality, but in a sense, because they don't; because they all stand unequal and powerless before us."(Scully).

PREHISTORIC CALIFORNIA During the prehistoric periods, California was covered by a warm shallow sea. This sea was mostly inhabited by various marine invertebrates, for instance, corals and brachiopods. Later on especially during the perminian periods, California began to exhibit a variety of habitats. This was characterized by both deep and shallow marine deposits. Swamps and estuaries would also be found in some parts of the land. California could also be described as a region of geologic…

The first wildlife management era was the era of abundance (1500 – 1849), in which wild game was numerous and the mindset of the people was that of sustained harvest of foods and furs. In this time period, there was almost an entire absence of any systematic natural resource management. Only some hunting restrictions were put in place, but hunters just expanded the areas in which they hunted because the game was still plentiful and unrestricted there. There was no need for game reserves or…

seen for more than twenty-five years. In Sumatra there is a total of 400 Sumatran Tigers, if anyone is caught hunting a tiger they can be faced with jail time. It is sad the amount of animals left.
