...self-sufficient, most of them do not live in isolation. For many reasons, ranging from economic interdependence to shared cultural values, families and other groups normally join together to form communities. The community, rather than the family, becomes the social setting for most everyday economic, political, religious, educational, recreational and similar activities. As communities become larger and more complex, other types of organizations are often established within the community to perform these various functions. Thus, a community is a type of social organization that is territorially located and provides the setting for dealing with most of the needs and problems of daily living. Communities vary widely in size and complexity. Recreation McLean and Hurd., (2011) defines recreation as a network of public agencies that provide such facilities as parks, playgrounds, aquatic centers, sports fields, and community centers in thousand of cities, towns, and countries. Recreation is also defined as any activity performed during one’s leisure or free time. Recreation is very essential element of human biology and psychology. Recreational activities are often done for enjoyment, amusement or pleasure and are considered to be “fun”. Recreation implies participation to be healthy and refreshing for the mind and body. Recreation is an essential part of human life and finds many different forms which are shaped naturally by individual interests but also by the surrounding...

...Hunting and fishing have been a part of the past and present of America and all around the world for as far back as the world dates. As far back as we can date, people have always hunted and fished. Back then they needed to because people need food to survive. Now hunting and fishing are starting to become sports. You may think that hunting and fishing can harm the environment, but there are many positive things about them. Hunting and fishing can have some positive effects and negative effects on the environment and economy, so if you don’t really agree with hunting and fishing maybe these facts will change your mind. Hunting nowadays is becoming more popular around the world. There are many different types of animals that you can hunt. In Pennsylvania most people hunt for white-tailed deer, moose, grouse, pheasants, turkeys, ducks, and geese. It is more of a sport now than a necessity. Hunting can have some negative effects and also many positive effects on the environment. Here are a few of the positive effects of hunting. Hunting provides large economic benefit to wild life conservation through hunting equipment taxes, hunting license sales, and usage fees not to mention all the money spent yearly by hunters on equipment, hunting trips, and guide services. Hunters also contribute to making the environment better by contributing large amounts of time and money to hunter run conservation groups that work to increase wildlife habitat and population. Hunting also helps balance...

...Federal Regulatory Agencies Teresa Bryant Barry University Public Law and Administration PUB 647 Dr. Stephen Sussman June 26, 2014 Federal Regulatory Agencies The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is the principal Federal agency dedicated to fish and wildlife conservation. The Service’s history spans nearly 140 years, dating from the establishment of its predecessor agency, the Bureau of Fisheries, in 1871. First created as an independent agency, the Bureau of Fisheries was later placed in the Department of Commerce. A second predecessor agency, the Bureau of Biological Survey, was established in 1885 in the Department of Agriculture. In 1939, the two Bureaus and their functions were transferred to the Department of the Interior in 1940, They were consolidated into one agency and redesignated the Fish and Wildlife Service by Reorganization Plan III (Fish and Wildlife Service, n.d., p. 1). The Fish and Wildlife Service’s works to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats. To contact the agency or department you can access the agency website at http://www.fws.gov or http://www.fws.gov/duspit/contactus.htm. The agency is located at Fish and Wildlife Service, 1849 C Street NW, Washington, DC 20240 and the telephone number is (202)-208-5634 (Public Affairs routes all call from here) or toll free at (800) 344-9453.

...Wendy Simpson ENG 101 Instructor: Magda Sokolowski August 4, 1025 Hunting: An Act of Conservation Some would say hunting is simply a sport, while others would say it provides assistance in conservation efforts. “Conservation is defined as a careful preservation and protection of something; especially planned management of a natural resource to prevent exploitation, destruction, or neglect” (Merriam-Webster, n.d.) Hunting serves as an act of conservation, by assisting in population control, while also providing funding for wildlife management through the Robertson Pittman Act and hunter created funding groups. While hunting continues to be disagreed upon for various reasons, the effects of hunting have been and will continue to be of assistance to conservation. Population Hunters contribute to conservation regarding population in two ways: reducing overpopulation and protecting the current population. Even though these may seem like a contradiction, they actually work hand in hand. Responsible hunters follow state regulated hunting guidelines. Hunters typically harvest wildlife that is of the appropriate age to not interfere with reproduction. Deer, for example, are typically harvested around the age of two and up. According to the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency, of the deer killed in the Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge in 2011, 58.33% were 2 and one half years old (Big Game Harvest Report, 2012). Responsible hunters typically practice selective killing...

...Savageless Many would argue that hunting sends us back to our primitive days when we lived only on the land and everything was used for money. It is actually quite the opposite of what most believe. Hunting is a way of life for some people and the only way we know how to get by. Hunting is by no means savage and is vital to everyday life. Without the hunters in the country we would be over run by animal populations and would have many predatory animals living in suburb communities putting our wellbeing at stake. Many people do not realize how much hunting indirectly influences their way of life. The meat in the grocery store was made in a more savage way than hunting. Slaughter houses are highly inhumane towards aimals. Hunting at least gives the animal free will to do whatever it wants in the wild. At a slaughter house animals have no hope to live any amount of time, but in the wild the animals are able to experience their natural habitat and be happy roaming the woods as they please. Many of the people who are against hunting are not even vegetarians and eat meat from the store and they are completely ignorant to the fact that what they are eating is killed in a horrible savage way. I am in no way saying that eating meat from the store is a bad thing to do, but only that venison is a more humane way of eating. Not only is it more humane its healthier than proccessed meat and has a less chance of carrying harmful bacteria gained from meat proccessors. Not only does the meat...

...White argues that humanity is in what he calls a “progress trap” which he explains “I came up with the term progress trap to define human behaviors that sort of seem to be good things, seem to be, to provide benefits in the short-term, but which ultimately lead to disaster, because they’re unsustainable.” Humanity as a whole has reached what is considered a “progress trap” many times already and is in the process of falling into deeper “progress traps” than ever with technology and our economics. In the past, as an example given by Ronald White, Hunting turned into a dead end when our ancestors were hunting to make their living. They went from killing one mammoth at a time and struggling to do so, to killing a whole heard of mammoths by running them over a cliff. This pushed them into a “progress trap”. These new hunting techniques had been great progress made, but made them into a dead end of hunting in general. After these new hunting techniques, there was no room for any new improvements. Similarly, a “progress trap” of today would be technology and lack of communication because of the extensive progress we have made.

...November 22, 2011 Deer hunting is a very demanding hobby. The one thing that everyone must keep in mind when hunting is your safety and the safety of others. The reason for this is that you are using a weapon that can cause serious harm to you or someone, but this is not what this essay is about. I want everyone to actually learn what it takes to be a hunter. Being a hunter takes skill and understanding how deer sense things. The first thing that comes to everyone’s mind when thinking about hunting is killing Bambie. This is not the way I think, because of how I was raised. I took up hunting at an early age. I would always go with my father. So, here is what I have learned about hunting deer. You, as a hunter have got to know where the deer are. This is the easy part. Just find some good land with a water source, and good food that they eat i.e. acorns, wild persimmons trees, apples trees, corn, clover, and winter rye. Scout the land after locating these, to see if you can find there bedding areas. Finding the bedding area is the hard part. Deer in general will bed down in areas where they feel protected. Like in open areas surrounded by thick brush, or in low lying areas. After finding these good spots look for trails leading to their food, and water sources. These trails are what will make you or break you when it comes time to kill that big buck. The trail usually will lead to natural pinch points in the land. This is where you want to be hunting at due to the high traffic...

...deer. Hunting is not allowed and these animals manipulated very fast. The problem is how to control the deer population. Singer would want the best for the most amount of people; in this case “the people” are deer. Tom Regan may say that the animals have the same rights as humans. Either way the situation needs to be handled with respect to Singer’s and Regan’s views. Regan calls animals “subjects-of-a-life”. He also uses the same terminology for humans. Regan believes animals should have the same moral rights as humans. He believes an infant or a mentally retarded man should be treated the same as a normal person. However the death of an animal may not be as important to the death of a human being because fewer opportunities are lost. He looks at what a person could accomplish in his lifetime and compares it to what an animal could accomplish and the human overrules. These views can be challenged in the Quabbin reserve. We simply cannot kill the deer because they have rights. However the death of a deer is not equivalent to the death of a human. But I cannot justify killing hundreds of deer with Regan’s view. The deer are not harming us so it would be immoral to kill them. On the other side Peter Singer’s views differ a little bit. Going of the basic utilitarian idea "the greatest good of the greatest number" he wants animals to be included in this. Anyone who didn’t support this idea would be classified as a “Speciest” according to him. Singer would allow the hunting of deer...

... From the beautiful tall oaks, to the large pine trees and their needles covering the spongy forest floor. There are beautiful green ferns, leafy vegetation, thickets and rock cliffs. There are so many wonderful things to see and hear in this forest, which provide a natural home and shelter for many animals to live. My experiences and memories of the forest and hunting have lead me to have mixed feelings about hunting which will be examined in the following paragraphs. Omnivore’s Dilema has brought back memories from home, and yes that is the back woods where I grew up. In many ways, it is quite easy for me to relate to the chapters written about hunting by Mr. Pollan. Hunting is something my father and my brothers enjoyed doing together. It wasn’t as much as a sport to them it was a necessity. Actually it was our meat source for our daily meals. There were lots of different game to hunt; deer, rabbit, squirrels and turkey to name a few. Fishing in the streams was usually plentiful netting us big fish and turtles. Ortega Y. Gasset, the Spanish philosopher, who writes in his Meditations on Hunting, “One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have PERSONAL: THE FOREST...

...individual goes to hunt for seal of elk because those are the staple foods of the Inuit people (Nowak B & Laird P, 2010) if he is successful then he will first ensure that his family is fed but because the Inuit are constantly moving to where the food is, having the excess food turns out to be a hindrance because then they would have to insure that the extra traveled with them, so instead after insuring that his own family is fed a hunter will then share the extra meat with a hunter who was not successful during that particular hunt, this is called Generalized reciprocity, which is an act in which something is given with the belief that things will eventually even themselves out such as while one hunter may have been successful during the hunting season and another was not the successful hunter will share his food with the knowledge that the other hunters will also support him during his time of need in the future (Nowak B & Laird P, 2010).

...In all of Africa, there are only approximately 600,000 African elephants remaining, and around 38,000 elephants are illegally killed each year for their tusks. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora estimates that at least 25,000 elephants were poached in 2011. Scientists at National Geographic predict that if this trend continues, in about five years, the already endangered African elephants will become extinct in the wild. Security on illegal exportation of ivory needs to increase and stopping unregulated domestic ivory markets found in a number of African and Asian countries would decrease the amount of ivory sold. Elephants are on the endangered species list, and with people killing these beautiful creatures just for their tusks, the elephant population is becoming dangerously low and at risk for extinction. After poachers killed more than half of Africa’s elephants, an international ban on the commercial ivory trade was put in to place in 1989, but that did not stop poachers. The amount of killings is at an all time high, and 2011 broke the record for the amount of illegal ivory seized worldwide, at 38.8 tons, equaling tusks from more than 4,000 dead elephants. In an interview National Geographic had about smuggling ivory with a Philippine church official, he had said, “Wrap it in old, stinky underwear and pour ketchup on it.” Another way to traffic ivory told by an Egyptian merchant who was taught by Chinese customers...
