RE: alright need you help for school
And let me add:
Wildlife laws placed on hunters PROTECT wildlife by: 1. Making sure not too many hunted animals are killed. 2. Making sure none of the animals that cannot be hunted are killed. 3. Making sure wildlife habitat is not damaged. |
RE: alright need you help for school
thank you all.
im printing this out later once i get more info. from yall. thanks |
RE: alright need you help for school
ORIGINAL: nctaxi Actually it is the Robertson-Pittman Act where we, as hunters, pay an exice tax to pay for wildlife projects. Search it, learn it, love it!!! Also the data is available for the insurance costs nearly 5 million dollars. Also look into the impact hunters have on some towns, with the hunting, lodging, foods, drink, etc.. Also look into the biological impact overgrazing has an land do to overcrowded animals. Also look into the damage wild hogs do, especially in Hawaii (SP?). There is tons of info out there but you have to do the legwork. |

ORIGINAL: tschaef I don't think this point has been made yet: getting people that are obsessed with fast foods away from their TVs and computers for some fresh air and excercise, introducing kids to nature, excercise, and responsibility. No offense to BigCountry, but I would avoid the religion thing, I think you'd do much better with the advice on using logic rather emotion. Not being religious myself I use the arguement that humans aren't above animals, we are animals, and we shouldn't feel guilty about being on the top of the food chain, me killing a deer to eat is no different than an eagle killing a salmon to eat. |
RE: alright need you help for school
With all due respect to BigCountry, this is for school, so I would suggest using facts and logic, rather than religious texts, unless you attend a religious school, where that kind of argument will carry a lot of weight.
Here are a few facts that you might be able to use. There were approximately 5,000 deer-related vehicle accidents in Fairfax County, Virginia alone in 2004. Biologists estimate that there are approximately twice as many deer in Virginia now as there were when Jamestown was first settled in 1607 (400 year anniversary!). But the deer’s natural habitat has been greatly reduced, due to human population pressures. Deer eat lots of farm crops, causing significant economic damage to a struggling sector of the economy. Humans have essentially wiped out most of the deer’s natural predators. This means that the deer population would explode if humans did not keep their populations in check. If the deer population gets out of control: 1) There will there be more economic damage to the agricultural sector of the economy. 2) There will be more deer-related vehicle accidents, resulting in the loss of not only money spent on car repairs and higher insurance premiums, but also injuries and the loss of human life. 3) In addition to damaging agricultural crops, deer will strip off more and more of the natural vegetation across the land. I can see it in the lack of undergrowth in some areas of the forest where deer populations are high. I believe it was in Austria that the deer population had been getting out of control to the point where the deer were eating back the young tree shoots so that the mature trees were not being replaced. Towns located on the mountainsides depended on thick growths of trees to slow down the avalanches, but the reduced tree populations resulted in entire villages being wiped out by avalanches that would otherwise not have been touched by them. 4) Because of the overgrazing and the stripping of natural habitat, eventually more deer will starve during the winter, a horrible way to die and much worse than a quick arrow or bullet through the heart or lungs. I hope this helps. Good luck! |

Many people from all over now live in those parts. If the boy thinks it will help, use it, but it does have the potential to take the debate in a whole different direction. |
RE: alright need you help for school
mention that this is america and that we have rights and no matter what they say unting is a good management tool and it keeps the animals healthy, or you could always come in in full camo playing ted nugent spirit of the wild and go for the shock and awe strategy

RE: alright need you help for school
the NRA website has ALOT of statistics and info.
i did my senior debate on the topic. cant remember who judged it. i know me and my buddy(pro hunting) lost. but i tore them up. out of the 4 i had the highest grade...but whoever voted doesnt know a good argument when it jumps up and bites them in the rear....my partner got the 2nd highest grade...how we got the highest grades but lost is beyond me. but we owned them and i know 90% of our sources were the NRA.... |
