...Deer hunting is something that a lot of people like to do. It is a time for guys and gals to relax and listen to the outdoors all around. There are too many deer and too many accidents in the midwest. Deer population could be reduced by having a longer shotgun season, so the population can reduce the vehicle accident cost, medical cost, by establishing new ideas on how motorists can avoid vehicle/deer accidents . In 1997 the Virginia Department Of Transportation recorded around 600 crashes between vehicles and deer. Then in 1998 it jumped up to 4000. insurance and law enforcement officials said the actual car deer collisions could be somewhere between 10 and 20 thousand in the United States. Insurance industry estimates there are half a million car deer accidents annually. The average cost an insurance company pays per claim is 2000. (HUNTING TO SOLUTION THE DEER BOOM PG2) In one year 2012, there were 1.29 million deer car collisions and they cost about $4 billion on car repairs. the average costs for the collisions are around $3,305. In this article from Insurance Journal, it states that vehicle deer collisions from july 2011 until june 30,...

...Did you know deer are nocturnal (are active at night)? They stay up and walk around and eat. You may even have some in your backyard! Today, you will learn how to hunt them, what you need to hunt, how to jump them, and how to shoot and skin them. When you hunt, you will need some materials. Here are some of the materials needed: a gun. You will need a gun to shoot the deer. Property; you will need land to hunt on. Dogs: if you are dog hunting, you will need dogs. And lastly, you will need skill (to use the gun). Here are types of hunting: bow hunting, still hunting,and dog hunting. Deer hunting is the hardest but most fun sport. You can also do man drives. Put men in the woods to run the deer just like dog hunting. Still hunting is a good way to hunt but it takes more time. You have to wait until the right buck comes out and shoot. Bow hunting is the same, but with a bow. Deer hunting is not so easy. So here are some mechanics and basic things you need to do: you need to put out standards. Then, you run the dogs. The dogs will jump the deer, so that they come towards you. Next, if you...

...Hunting is here to stay whether you are for or against it. So why not produce extra animals, such as deer, to keep the populations up? Doris Lin wrote an article called “Hunting isn’t the Answer to Animal ‘Pests.” When, in fact, it’s not the entire answer but it is part of the solution. She states that if we just build more fences and stop planting foliage that the deer and bear like, that the animals will stop being “pests.” This is NOT the solution. She also makes the point that we are over producing these animals just so that people can go on with their normal hunting habits. Only her view of it all is that it’s wrong. In my opinion the fact that we are producing more animals is a very smart thing to do. Even though there are many...

...Haylee Bowers Research Paper 11/20/13 In today’s society, cruelty towards animals is growing rapidly because people don’t understand the value of an animal’s life. People all around the world use and abuse animals as if it was some kind of national sport, and everybody is competing for the first place gold medal. Ever year millions of animals are being beaten and starved because of heartless people. Animal cruelty is a social issue that many people don’t understand. All the people who abuse animals don’t understand when they are harming an innocent animal are going to continue to do it until they are shown what they are doing wrong. Each type of abuse has certain patterns that scientists can study and find out why people commit the crimes they do. Animal cruelty is broken down into two categories, which are active and passive. Active cruelty is also known as NAI (non-accidental injury). NAI is when a person has malicious intent so fierce that they deliberately and intentionally cause harm to an animal. On the other hand with passive cruelty a person doesn’t intentionally cause harm to the animal, they simple neglect it by giving it no attention. While I was doing the research for this essay, I thought non-stop about how a human being could break a dogs leg, back, or even neck and feel no sympathy for the dog? Are some people in this world that heartless that they have no feelings for other living things? I wonder if you asked a person that has abused an animal if they...

...Mason Schmidt Rose Womack Business Ethics 11//2014 Hunting Ethics For my research paper I chose to discuss the topic of hunting ethics. I have several reasons for choosing this topic, first and foremost hunting is my biggest passion in life and I see a lot of misconceptions regarding hunting in the media and in the general public, another reason I chose is due to the firestorm that was generated when a Texas cheerleader, Kendall Jones, posted pictures of game animals she had legally taken on an African safari with her father on Facebook. This incident truly showed me for the first time how widespread anti-hunting sentiment was as well as how little people seem to know about it. In order to counter these sentiments and give people a better understanding of hunting and how it is not unethical, I will state what I believe to be the three most common ethical objections to hunting and then provide rebuttals. The three objections are, hunting is unethical because it disrupts nature and has caused the extinction of numerous species, hunting is unethical because modern technology gives humans an unfair advantage, and finally, the biggest and most common objection, hunting is unethical because it causes animals to experience extreme duress and pain. It is my hope that my arguments will sway you to see that hunting, when done lawfully, is completely ethical. Objection one is “hunting is unethical because it disrupts nature and has caused the extinction of numerous...

...controlled their size. “These flies are growing to over a foot in length and back to their size from the dinosaur days.” Said Doctor Ben Fly. Doctor Fly has also noted that that the appetite in these insects is ferocious. They can consume 10 times their body weight an hour. This could be a problem, but until more research can be conducted no one can really predict their affect on the rest of the ecosystem. One effect has been the rapid decrease of road kill. The flies are eating the entire carcass of these animals in just minutes. This has had a positive effect on our roads. These flies aren’t harmless however. They are now the new leading cause for heart attacks and window damage in the country. It has been recommended to cover your windows with bars to prevent these flies from crashing through. A spokesman from We Kill Bugs has stated they haven’t been able to kill one with normal insecticides and have begun developing new forms of insect control for them. They are currently developing a laser turret that it able to track and shoot them down. These turrets are to be placed on top of homes and other building to take the bugs out of the sky. They have also developed a new fly paper trap. These mats can be placed just about anywhere. They have the strength to prevent a large...

...Luis Thompson ANTH 252 Doctor Hemphill Yokuts v. Cherokee I. Introduction This paper is a basic introduction to two native North American tribes; the Yokuts of the California cultural area and the Cherokee of the Southeast cultural area. First I we will delve in to the general backgrounds of these two tribes, followed by an in depth examination of Religious beliefs practiced by each tribe, as well as the Life cycle rituals of the Yokuts and Cherokee. Directly proceeding this we will then contrast the former in depth examinations with that of the Tlingit tribe who resided in the Northwest culture area and also we will contrast The Yokuts and the Cherokee with the Zuni tribe who reside in the Southwest cultural area. General Background: Yokuts The Yokut tribe is a group of native North Americans found in the California culture area. The Yokut tribe inhabited the San Joaquin Valley of California. The Yokut tribe has been broken up into three main groups based on the area that their territory encompassed. The are the Northern Valley Yokuts who inhabited the region beginning in the northern most San Joaquin valley, present day Stockton, to the area where the San Joaquin Valley turns northward toward the Calaveras and Mokelumne rivers, or present day Modesto. The Next division is known as The Southern Valley Yokuts. This group of Yokuts lived in the Southern San Joaquin Valley from the upper forks of the Kings River, present day ...

...Jarrett Rowland English 108 “Research Essay 2 RD” MWSU-Dr. Heard 15 November 2010 Missouri Mountain Lions Return: Can the State Support A Breeding Population? One hot wildlife question being debated in coffee shops, sporting goods stores, and Internet chat sites across Missouri goes something like this: “Do we have mountain lions here or not?” The short answer is yes, sometimes. But we have far fewer than rumors would lead you to believe. What we do not have is any evidence of a viable, breeding population of mountain lions in Missouri. As a result, the Missouri Department of Conservation has changed the state classification of the species from endangered to extirpated. An extirpated species is one that is considered extinct as a viable breeding population from a portion of its historical range. The Conservation Commission has determined that, based on considerations of human safety and risk to livestock, it is undesirable to have a breeding population of mountain lions in Missouri. Therefore, the Department of Conservation will not encourage the species to reestablish itself in the state. Despite rumors, the Department has never stocked mountain lions and will not do so in the future. Although mountain lions, sometimes called cougars, pumas, panthers or catamounts, were common in Missouri and elsewhere in the Midwest prior to European settlement, they were eradicated during the 19th century. As the countryside was settled and developed, the large predators were shot....

...Innocent victim or vicious killer? 1 Wolves Stephen Hawks Western Governors University Wolves: Innocent victim or vicious killer? 2 Wolves Introduction Wolves, the very name polarizes people from one end of the spectrum to the other. From the people that believe they should be shot on site, to the opposite end where environmentalist feels that people hunting wolves should be shot on site. How could you argue with the people most directly affected by the re-introduction of wolves into their area? When your livelihood is constantly threatened by the predators, it drives people to extremes. In our initial settling of this country we drove the other predators (mainly Native American and wolves) from their lands; forcing them to remote outskirts. We nearly killed the wolf off in our drive to seize this vast territory and everything in it. By doing that we threw off nature’s food chain, which caused a ripple effect among other animals and plants directly affected by the wolf. By re-introducing the wolf to its once natural territory, are we trying to right an injustice done by our ancestors long ago? Research has shown that wolves impact society through its reputation as killer of livestock, important link in the eco-system, and pawn in the ongoing debates between Government and Conservationist groups. There’s something spiritual about gazing into a wolf’s eyes. It touches your soul and it changes you. According to Lopez (1978) “It takes your stare and turns it back on...

...Determination of Animal Abuse Jennifer Stafford Determination of Animal Abuse People and animals have been around since the beginning of time. In early days, animals were killed and hunted for survival. However, the relationship between people and animals has changed somewhat since then. Today, the vast majority of people do not need to kill and hunt animals in order to survive. In this paper, I will talk about how some people think that animal-factory farms, family farms and hunting is considered animal abuse. I will then later explain that neither of these is considered animal abuse. Therefore, the question is, how does one determine what actually animal abuse is? There is a massive debate about this question and there is no right answer. Everyone sees things from the perspective of their own interests and concerns. Animal abuse is classified as inflicting physical agony, anguish or demise upon an animal contingent upon one’s belief. First, some people believe that killing and hunting animals for any reason is classified as animal abuse. The first example some may classify as animal abuse is animal-factory farms. Animal-factory “farms are usually large industrial facilities where livestock are crowded together” (USA Today, 2012). The small animals, like chickens, are put into cages. One cage can hold many animals. These cages are packed so full with the small animals that the animals cannot move freely. They do not get to see sunlight, and it can be hard to breathe...

May 2007 Wildlife Biology Conservation of leopard in Ayubia National Park, Pakistan Director: Dr. Daniel H. Pletscher Large carnivores are important for biodiversity and ecosystem function, yet are very difficult to conserve because of their large home ranges and conflicts with humans. I examined human-leopard conflicts in and near Ayubia National Park, Pakistan, to provide management recommendations for the conservation of leopards. Persecution of leopards by humans has been on the rise primarily due to depredation on livestock and risk to human lives. Since 1989, 16 humans have either been killed or injured in and around Ayubia National Park while leopards faced 44 human-caused mortalities during the same period. I examined the management strategy adopted by NWFP Wildlife Department for leopard conservation, identify gaps, and suggest possible management...
