There are many reasons on why they’re endangered. One of the main reasons is because they were hunted and some still are hunted at a very large rate. Even their name “Right Whale” signifies on them being hunted. When wailing these were the right whale to kill. “Because females do not become sexually mature until ten years of age and give birth to a single calf after a yearlong pregnancy, populations grow slowly.” (Chadwick 1-7). So yet another reason why they face mass…
Seabiscuit, a racehorse known to most of the world had gained and lost a sufficient amount of popularity during the years he raced. There consists of many ideas that prove Seabiscuit had an abundance of popularity, and became one of the biggest celebrities in the entire world. In the article “An American Legend” it consists of much information evidence that helps to prove that Seabiscuit gained and lost much popularity. In “An American Legend” it says, “Rumors swirled around the track that Seabiscuit was lame” and “Rosemonts stock rose; Seabiscuit’s dropped” (Hillenbrand 128). This proves that Seabiscuit’s popularity rose or fell because it made the people think that Seabiscuit became unknown on the celebrity list and that Seabiscuit became…

We’ve all heard of Seaworld. A childhood fantasy. The spectacular shows and mesmerizing performances of marine animal and men. Orcas and dolphins doing trick as the fascinated faces, young and old watch the ‘never before’ seen show.…
Every Australian spends hours of their life surfing on the golden beaches, located right on their doorstep, having a drink with the mates, only eating sausages cooked on the BBQ (unless of course they are eating vegemite by the spoonful), and acting like the mad sports nuts they are. Somehow above all these assumptions about the people of ‘Down Under’ there is one belief people really can’t get out of their minds, that every Australian has the perfect fit, tan and healthy body.…
Whaling has been a Japanese tradition, which goes back to prehistoric times, so Japan has a strong historical connection with the sea as a source of food. But there are other countries that used to have such a connection to the sea as well, for example France and the US. Those countries ‘set sail’ to whaling or limited their whale hunts when the IWC put a ban on commercial whaling back in 1986. So Japan has no traditional reason to keep up the whale hunt. A country cannot, or may not keep up something like this just because it is a tradition.…
There are two perspectives on this topic, with it or against it. Harp seals are overcrowding and lowering the population of fish in the Canadian waters, this leads to unemployment in many fish industries. There is an animal chain that has to be balanced, by having too many seals they overpopulate and jump the chain, their meat is a great source of omega 3 and 6, their pelts are water resistant and in many cases do not cause allergies, so the hunting sounds pretty beneficial. It’s the most regulated hunt of its kind & the population is large enough to sustain the hunting. There are 9.5 million harp seals and the hunting of seal pups has reduced the global seal population by two-thirds, but there are many other different ways to fix the problem…
I don't even think that the people care about the whales I mean you pull the animals right out of the ocean which is their home and rip them apart from their own family if that happened to me I would be pretty made. Whales in captivity have killed many people so I don’t even think it is safe to put them in captivity, they did not kill anyone in the ocean but now they are because they are in captivity. Whales are so friendly to us they have never done anything to hurt us but, we are hurting them, just…
Picture this. You are a young kid again, taking your first vacation to Florida. It is the day you’re going to Sea World, a place you’ve dreamed about since you saw the first commercial on TV. Something just sparked your interest about all of the sea life there. As you walk in the entrance, you are filled with complete and utter joy. So much joy, you can barely hold your mother’s hand. You marvel at the sea lions and dolphins but what you really want to see is the Killer Whales. This specific creature is what sparked your interest in the first place and you’re finally sitting in your seat, awaiting the right of passage not many get to experience. The trainer comes on the speaker and you just feel jubilation wash over you as the show…
Sharks have always been an important part of Earth. Many cultures - beyond just the Chinese with their famous shark fin soup - consider them to be powerful symbols, deities, or sacred animals. They help keep the ecosystem in check. This, in turn, highly benefits the economy. It’s difficult to imagine a world without sharks - considering that sharks have existed for over 400 million years (What If There Were No Sharks?). This makes them approximately three million eight hundred years older than us. Unfortunately, with the rise of anti-shark movies such as Jaws, people have begun to fear sharks. Many of them wish to kill them, and will not mourn their loss. However, if one looks deeper into this solution, one will discover a myriad of problems. Problems which are guaranteed to occur if shark culling is continued. If the ocean is to be saved and humans are to be kept safe, an environmentally safe alternative to shark culling must be discovered.…
One of the most favorite and best pastime of humans is- hunting. People spends a lot of money in hunting and they love it. There are some purists and passionate persons in hunting and they are like totally crazy people. They are not actually crazy, but crazy about hunting. Hunting has been a sport now and is legal in various parts of the world. In hunting, it is really necessary that the hunters must be able to see to very far and distant places to focus on far objects. This can be achieved by rifle scopes, rangefinders or binoculars. These things are really necessary to aim or to shoot far sighted objects. In hunting it is required to maintain a safe distance and this can be achieved by Nikon…
“ 61 people have been killed by black bears while hundreds of black bears have been killed by hunters in New Jersey” Does the bear hunt really matter that much? The bear hunt isn’t necessary, and some people may not believe this but it doesn’t change anything. The bears will just keep on growing so why should we murder them for no reason while there are other ways to prevent them from hurting our people. Hunting black bears is a horrendous sport which lets hunters get lots of money for doing something wrong. When has murdering and torturing animals become a sport? What have the bears ever done to us or the hunters? They kill people because they are terrified of us. It is not their fault. When people are terrified they do the same thing. We should end the bear hunt because when we hurt bears that is…
Back in third grade, whenever my report card was sent home, my parents would say: “Those grades are what’s going to give you a better life than we have now.” At eight though, I wasn’t thinking of the money, but helping families stay together. I wanted to be a lawyer and fight for undocumented parents to avoid deportation and stay with their kids.…
