and they enjoy seeing the animals even when they are not hunting. Trophy hunting would be the next thrill for advanced hunters, tracking animals for days and waiting for that perfect shot. The dictionary definition of trophy hunting is “The selective hunting of wild game for human recreation.” A lot of people get this confused with poaching which is “The illegal hunting or capturing of wild animals” and do…
The University of Florida is a very prestigious Division One school especially in football. In my research paper I will be talking about the history of Florida Gator football which began in 1906, and how the school started their football tradition. A man by the name of Steve Spurrier is the head coach who set them up for multiple national titles, and the current 3 national championships that they have, Chris Leak who played for them from 2003-2006 had a great contribution. Another legend who…

There are so many reasons why Participation Trophies should be taken out of existence here are a few reasons why. Kids and teens should not receive participation trophies for a number of reasons. For starters may cause kids to think too highly of themselves because they get a reward for participating. It also might have the complete opposite effect and make kids think too lowly of themselves. If you think about it it makes sense why that would be the case because they might think all they are…
Trophy hunting should be banned for many of the following reasons. You usually hunt for the oldest male or the one that is the head of the group.That leaves every other animal in the group fighting to restore order in the herd and trying to become the alpha male. Which could quite possibly never happen again. Plus it would also lead to many fights in the herd to go for the leading role. It should also be banned because the money from trophy hunting has no positive effect on conservation efforts…
perfect wall hanger. Trophy hunting deer when done legally is morally right. Trophy hunting helps regulate the deer population. In Montgomery County deer are about 50% over populated. Which may not seem to be a big deal, but when overpopulation occurs problems happen throughout the ecosystem. Overpopulation can lead to wide spread disease of deer. This causes the meat to be inedible for people and animals which is potentially devastating to the environment. Even though trophy hunters do not…
I agree with the rights of trophy hunting, i think it should go on so that the animals won't die from not being killed. “The industry provides conservation incentives and revenue streams to communities well beyond the tourist trail” (Dymoke, 2016). This is what the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, stipulates and it's unquestionable that money from trophy hunting has made a positive impact in many areas. Some of the people who are against it would argue about the killing…
If you follow Football or watch ESPN then you will know or have heard the name Tim Tebow. He first came into the spot light in college; he was the quarter back for the Florida Gators. Tebow took his team to two BCS Championships in 2007 and 2008 and got a Heisman. His first team in the NFL was the Denver Broncos. Tebow and the broncos made it to the playoffs in 2011, but despite this he was traded to the New York Jets. After a season with the Jets he was traded to the New England Patriots and…
got a trophy for coming in last at a soccer tournament. I was angry, because I was a smart little kindergartener. I was upset that someone would give me a trophy for doing poorly. From that day on, I never accepted a trophy for something I didn’t deserve or lost in because I knew the trophy would become meaningless. Trophies for everyone has become a hot topic between parents and kids alike, some arguing that everyone getting trophies is great; some arguing that it needs to stop. Trophies should…
Participation Trophies Useless or Worth it? Are participation trophies useless or worth the money? As stated by the "Trophies for All" policy, youth athletes are being rewarded with participation trophies. Boosting a child's self-esteem via trophies is an amazing idea. However, it may not be the right idea. A youth athlete shouldn't be in the mentality that the world owes them something when they don't get a reward. A child with that mentality would be demanding, convinced…
