Aerial wolfe hunting in Alaska

Aerial Wold Hunting
Should we aerial wolf in Alaska?
In my opinion I do not think aerial wolf hunting is a good thing at all. It is very cruel and inhumane.

It is one thing when someone goes up on foot with a rifle and tracks the wolf down and shoots them. When people do that the wolf stands a water better chance and will not suffer a horrible death.

When they chase wolves in a plane until the animal becomes exhausted and cant run any further then shoot it with a shot gun, that is an awful way of doing it because the animal usually never dies after one shot it will suffer and role around in pain not having a clue what just happened.

I don’t know how some one could kill such a beautiful creature like that. It’s just such a waste and aggravates me how they do it. They are not giving the animal a fair chance.

If they kill too many wolves then the animals that the wolves feed on will eventually become over populated because there will not be enough wolves to keep the population under control. That could severely mess up the ecosystem as well.

I just think it is a complete waste of time for people to do this and can’t believe that they decided to pass the law saying that people could hunt the wolves by plane. I would like to say a couple words to that person if I could.

In conclusion I don’t agree with any of it and I think it should be completely banned from every single place in the world. It is animal cruelty in my opinion and shouldn’t be done under any circumstance.

Should canada sell It's fresh water?

Selling fresh water
Should Canada Start selling fresh water?

Personally I don’t think Canada should start selling our water. We need that water and if they go and sell it all then we may run out our selves.

We need out water because a lot of our water now is already contaminated and some country’s already have major problems with their fresh water supply. Canada is the one country in the world with the most fresh water and we should sell it all.

I mean yeah it would be great if all of the third world country’s could have all the fresh water they need and yes they do need it more then us right now but whose to say that ten or fifteen years down the road we wont be in a desperate situation for fresh water?

A lot of people in Canada like to fish in rivers and streams. If we go and sell all of our water they will not be very happy at all. Fishing is some people’s pations and you can’t just take that away from them. If you sell the water then Canadians won’t be able to go canoeing in rivers either.

If we did sell some of our water our country would make a ton of money off of it. Canada has the most fresh water in the world and future wars are most likely going to be fought over our water. So if we sold it ahead of time and shared it with other country’s then we wouldn’t have to worry about that problem occurring.

In conclusion I still don’t agree with selling our water we need it to much because when more of our water gets to contaminated to use like some is already then we will have to rely on all the other fresh water we have. So therefore we can’t sell it!

My Thoughts On Dams

Dams

In my opinion I think dams should all be destroyed.

If you were to ask me a year or two ago what I thought on dams I would tell you that I think they are a good thing and are very interesting. But now that I know what I do I completely disagree with them.

Dams change our whole ecosystem around. They are forming lakes where there shouldn’t be lakes. People put these up and don’t even think about the impact that these will have on our environment. Organisms that lived in the stream that was there before cant live there anymore because they aren’t used to a habitat with still water.

They are alright in some ways. Dams are a place that can employ hundreds of workers. If we where to destroy all dams so many men and woman would be out of work. I think that they shouldn’t remove all of them but a good percent of them and stop building them. Another reason dams are good is because they produce a lot of power which we need to survive. They are an effective, low pollution way o creating easy power to run our homes and businesses

Dams flood areas that aren’t meant to be flooded. They ruin the landscape and the soil that was there before. In places where there used to be salmon and trout the bass population is growing rapidly. Salmon need to be able to swim up stream to reproduce and then swim back down but with the amount of dams being built it makes it really hard for the fish to do so.

My conclusion is that dams shouldn’t all be torn down because then there would be a lot of people out of work. I do think that they should stop building them though. I mean for the most part ecosystems have adapted where there are dams but in places where there is running water I don’t think that that should be changed.
