Essay On Nine Mile Wolf Reintroduction

Wrongs of Society Unfortunately in today's society, elderly people are mistreated along with handicapped people seen as unfit and useless. In Steinbeck's novel, they show a great deal of unfairness to both humans and animals when they are no longer useful or productive to society. Although, older generations helped raise us, in society we generally do not take care of them. Animals are put down, or killed when they no longer have a purpose to their owner. Also, in the novel handicaps are looked down on because they take time to care for and are not seen as good workers.

Having seen a wolf on a regular basis myself when I lived in Wolf Creek Montana, I related to Farley Mowat’s opinion in the book Never Cry Wolf. As the book was written by the main character, Farley Mowat, and published in 1963. Since then the average opinions may have changed. Mowat created the strategy of gaining the reader's trust to change their opinions about wolves once he was sent on the “lupine project”.

Tony Bridges an anti-wolf supporter and writer, claims that this foreign species is, “much larger and more aggressive” (Bridges, 2011), than the wolves that previously existed here. This claim is formed from the understanding that the wolves reintroduced in the lower 48 states, were transplanted from various parts of Alberta and British Columbia in Canada. Consequently this, “larger and more aggressive subspecies...has destroyed big game populations in many areas and are making a serious impact on elk, deer, moose and all other big game animals throughout their ranges” (Bridges, 2011). Bridges believes that the reintroduction was carried through in order to spite hunting privileges of citizens. He protests, “The biggest threat to hunting today are self-proclaimed "environmental" organizations, who want to control our outdoor resources…Not for their love of wildlife or the environment...

Mowat’s Rhetorical Strategies The book “Never Cry Wolf” is about a scientists who goes into a flat tundra in northern Canada to study wolves. The scientists name is Farley Mowat, and he explains in the book that wolves aren't savage beasts. He has many different ways of doing so at first he found out that it’s not even the wolves who have been killing the caribou it’s the eskimos in the area who have sled dogs to feed along with themselves.

The Wildlife Division continues to downplay the threat of cougars to humans.

There is an estimated 60,000 wolves in Canada. Farley Mowat studies the grey wolf in his book Never Cry Wolf (1963). Throughout the book, Mowat uses the rhetorical strategies pathos, logos, and personification to disprove the misconception about wolves. The book is about a scientist (Farley Mowat) that flies into the Canadian Barrens in order to research wolves. His goal is to prove that wolves are killing thousands of caribou for sport, but he find that the wolves are not to blame for the decrease in caribou populations.

The controversies of reintroduction of wolves is a stopping rule because there is no definitive statement of the problem , Ritchey (2005) found that wicked problems do not have a described set of potential solutions , the problems solvers have no right or wrong because each solution has an unpredicted and irretrievable consequences. In order to reintroduce wolves to Scotland first of it is necessary secure a safe and viable futures for wolves, Ritchey (2005) argues that every wicked problem is an indication of another wicked problem, seeing that before reintroduction wolves to Scotland several measures must be implemented such as interventions authorities and legal protection and this could result in another wicked problem (European

When the first Americans arrived hundreds of years ago, they brought their culture and values with them into the country. These ethics that they have still apply to the people of the present day just as they once did during their time. One example is that people should respect and honor nature instead of abusing it. In the short story “Coyote and the Buffalo,” the Coyote receives a young cow from Buffalo Bull as a gift for helping him (Mourning Dove 51). This cow had the ability of supplying the Coyote with meat forever by cutting a piece of fat off, but he later tried to kill it for more meat (Mourning Dove 52).

“The worst part of getting close to someone is the part when you have to miss them”-Yasmin Mogahed. In the book Never Cry Wolf (1963) by Farley Mowat, Mowat gets very attached to the wolves, and uses a lot of emotion when he has to go study wolves for the government in North Canada to find out if they are killing the caradou. When he first starts his experiment he couldn’t find a trace of any wolves, but as soon as he does he gets attached to them and gives them names. He seems to think that the wolves are now a part of him and he knows that he has to leave them soon. His experiment teaches him so much and he gains new friends or “pack members”.

Another problem is that sheepdogs are dying because wolves are killing them as they try to protect their herds. And a third reason is that ranchers are going to

Mowat’s rhetorical strategies Wolves for thousands of years have been one of man’s greatest enemies. In Farley Mowat’s book, published in 1963, he makes us rethink why we are still at war with this species. Never Cry Wolf is about Mowat’s adventure as he studies wolves in the Northern Canadian Plains. His research brought him to become friends with Eskimos and a small family of wolves that he’s learned to respect and love. During his six month period he learns that wolves have been wrongly judged and are not the beasts that they have been titled.

Never Cry Wolf by Farley Mowat is a non-fiction story about naturalist Farley Mowat, on an expedition to find out why so many caribou were being killed. Mowat’s superiors believed that wolves were killing the caribou. He spent almost a year investigating the wolves’ way of life focusing on a small pack made up of two males and a female with her pups. Mowat camped near their den and observed their eating and hunting habits. He observed that wolves rarely ate caribou and when they did, it was the weak and sick ones.

After reading "Scared to Death" by Ed Yong and "Wolf Family Values" by Sharon Levy, I have come to the conclusion that Sharon Levy 's article presents a stronger case. Levy wrote, "But Haber argued that by focusing on population size, the establishment has ignored the fact that the hunting of wolves warps their social structure, ripping apart the family times and traditions that define wolf society…." (Levy ll 16-18) In other words, killing wolves destroys the natural family unit. Destroying even one member of a pack can greatly impact the pack as a whole.

   One strong point to consider from the documentary is when a black bear paid a visit to the wolf pack during the summer. The bear kept trying to get to the cubs while the older wolves said otherwise. Just as the bear was about to go into the forest after the cubs, the wolves kept biting the
