Raising Animals: The Unwelcome Effects Of Invasive Species

729 Words3 Pages

No. Let nature take its course. Many people say that bringing back extinct animals would drastically improve the ecosystem. However, the habitats of many of the animals that people are trying to bring back have mostly been changed or destroyed. This means the animals may have to relocate, which would result in it being an invasive species, and we all know the unwelcome effects of invasive species. You would have to revive a natural predator and prey for that specific animal to prevent it from disrupting the fragile ecosystem. This itself would cost us millions of dollars, and probably raise taxes. Raising taxes aren’t good.(As of 3/6/18, America is $20,867,726,890,754.58 in debt, and there is $223.3 trillion dollars of world debt)

Using that same logic, however, that means God killed the animals off for a special reason. Why, I don’t know. Like they sometimes say, God works in mysterious ways. (I’m not religious, so maybe I’m not qualified to use this as a reason. But still, I think that’s how it works...)
Still speaking of what Marlo said,--I know, maybe you don’t entirely agree with what she presented, but you two were on the same side--she asked us “What if humans went extinct?” I personally think that then all the animals and the whole world, frankly, would be better off. After all, we are the main cause for the extinction of many species. Over time the Earth would fix all of the havoc and damage caused by people, and it would be an almost perfect haven, with a balanced ecosystem.
Animal activists may think that it would beneficial to the animals. However, you also have to think about the animal itself. Some of these creatures are intelligent enough to feel some emotions, like love and fear. Imagine being uprooted from your home into an entirely different place that’s both hotter and smaller than your original home. That’s what the animals will instinctively know, if not feel. It’s just cruel to the species. Some may say, “Oh, it’s a second chance!” But nature is the survival of the fittest. It’s harsh and unfair, and gives no second

There is an important question many people today wonder; I found that there are several people who see how showing livestock affects kids in school and in life. I chose this topic because so many people think that showing livestock is just a waste of time and money, but they have no idea what it entails. Other people don’t realize that showing livestock isn’t about the money or just having a pet. I am writing this paper because everybody should know that showing isn’t about having a pet, it’s about gaining responsibilities and learning new things that can help you later in life. Showing livestock helps children go farther in life because it teaches them more responsibility, they work harder, and they never give up on their dreams.

By reintroducing large mammals to ecosystems from which they has been gone for thousands of years, it can result in the recovery and restoration of many ecosystems such but it can has the opposite effect in the ecosystem which can result in a complete unbalance of the ecosystem (Rubenstein, Rubenstein, Sherman & Gavin,

Sometimes they need more than just a second chance it might be a third chance, fourth chance, maybe even there one-hundredth chance because they were human and made a mistake. All people make mistakes. Instead of being punished for them, they should be shown mercy. When I was eight my dad left my mom for another woman because he refused to make their relationship better.

Carl Zimmer, a writer for National Geographic, stated, “Some extinct animals also performed vital services in their ecosystems, which might benefit from their return” (Text 2, line 31-32). While this could be true, the possible negatives I’ve mentioned previously outweigh the positives, and a return to the wild is easier said than done. Another point for de extinction is made in Text 1, as the author says, “Some claimed that bringing back species that were caused to go extinct by human practices would… help make up for the wrong of extinction” (Text 1, line 25-26). The unfortunate truth of this matter is the wrong has already been done, and using de extinction to reverse it could possibly destroy ecosystems more, or prove completely futile. Most claims for de extinction can be disproven by showing how much is unknown about

For example, science says that they can’t get enough DNA from dinosaurs to be able to bring them back because they only have fossils. Wooly mammoths may be easier because their bodies have been frozen in ice making it easier to take the DNA and put it in elephants. This process can bring animals back that can affect our ecosystems in a very big way. They can also alter the ways of life in those ecosystems. But it could also repopulate areas that low in numbers, a very good thing.

Invasive Species Invasive, alien species, those which colonise, expand and out compete native species (Smith & Smith, 2009), are a major threat to our habitats, terrestrial and aquatic species, and biodiversity. Agricultural and leisure industries are affected as well as conservation welfare and the continued wellbeing of man, flora and fauna. Whole ecosystems can be distorted and the economic cost of awareness, prevention and eradication systems is substantial. Most invasive species have been introduced by mandeliberately or otherwise. As an island, Ireland has been subjected to less invasive species than larger nearby land masses e.g. Europe, but islands have a less diverse species population and are therefore more vulnerable when invaded.

The second reason the argument is flawed is because originally, Animalism was a successful system that was equally contributed into, and the animals were happier. After the animals bravely overtook the farm from their cruel owners, they realized the liberty they gained. “Yes, it was theirs - everything that they could see was theirs! In the ecstasy of that thought, they gambolled round and round, they hurled themselves into the air in great leaps of excitement.” (pg. 22)

One reason that de-extinction is a horrible idea is that the species, lets say a wooly mammoth, could potentially take important resources away from other species causing them to disappear. In the article The

I will state my facts to why hunting controls animal overpopulation. According to the Scientific American Article Wild boars/pigs destroy the crops of farmers in the United States, as pigs spread, they wreak havoc on the lands they inhabit. “Wild pigs cause at least $1.5 billion in damages and control costs each year, according to a 2007 survey, mostly to agriculture. Dubbed the “rototillers of nature,” they dig up fields, create wallows in pastures and destroy fences”. Deer and wild boars tend to devastate gardens all over the globe.

I’m here today to talk about a controversial issue that has been around for a period of time, animal testing. Animal testing using animals in experiments with different chemical substances in everything from medical to cosmetic to determine their safety as well as effectiveness . It’s a problem that has existed since the 3rd and 4th centuries BCE with its merciless methods and painful ways of abusing animals for human demands, but now it’s time for it to stop. Our technology has developed significantly since; therefore, such medieval methods of torturing animals are no longer necessary. Researches have shown that each year, over 100 million animals are tortured and killed in American laboratories alone, including dogs, cats and more; this shows how far out of hand animal testing have gotten.

Eating meat is beneficial to humanity, because they provide nourishment that cannot be obtained from other sources. Without the support of animals, humans lack a distinctive diet, that is essential to their well-being. However, since animals are so important to the diet, they deserve great care and respect as well. Humans were always hunters and gathers. They always knew that meat was a big source of protein that helped keep them going(Araki).

Lorimer had some good points, but there are always those one people who have to disagree with everything. These people say things like “Conservation is bad and harms the animals.” Which makes no sense, because it is protecting the animals. Some cons to conservation are super strict as in very protective of the animals,

In recent years, the topic of saving the Earth from Humans has shown itself in many conversations amongst the people of the public. Saving the World will be an issue we must solve in the near future because we are causing a mass extinction for animals, and we are harming and killing humans, but we can resolve it by using technology to reduce global warming and setting aside reserves. The most important thing humans must do in regards to this topic is begin to educate themselves and others on how drastic we must be in regards to it. The first major issue that must be made clear is the great peril animals are in, and what this means for the planet and humans.
