wild beasts eat animals alive. Can we feed them, in a less cruel way to let herbivores live in peace ?

Question

i have seen wildlife shootings (the makers are surely proud of), that i never had the courage to watch fully, mothers crying for their baby animals. Did the Green Peace ever have any program to help the gentle animals ?

Answer 1

~You are so right. We should make it illegal for a carnivore to hunt and eat. We should ban hunting by man so the herds can overpopulate, exhaust the food supplies in their ranges and die a slow cruel death of starvation on its way to extinction. All so people who know nothing of natural selection, survival and wildlife conservation and maintenance can have their burgers in peace. Are you aware that most funds to maintain wildlife come from hunters and hunting license fees? Are you aware of how much habitat, for instance, that Ducks Unlimited has returned to waterfowl. Are you aware that (exponentially) more game is endangered by man's encroachment into habitat to build housing, shopping centers, factories and golf courses than by hunting? Are you aware that culling the herd by controlled hunting strengthens the herd and guarantees its survival? Do you care? To which "gentle" animals do you refer? The cow you ate at McDonald's last week or the chicken you had for dinner Sunday? Maybe the deer that ran into my car because because somebody put the road to the Mall right smack dab in in the middle of the new range it was trying to establish after the Mall took its last home. Or perhaps the raccoon that attacked my neighbors dog when it was raiding the garbage can and the dog happened to be out for a walk. Or the bear that foolishly wandered across the ski slope that was built on its homestead and was shot for its stupidity?
Darwin lives, toots. Except, as long as there are hunters at the top of the food chain, efforts will be made to ensure that the game survives.
What have you done for wildlife preservation this week? Oh right. You posted this question. WOW. Bambi thanks you. In a cartoon world with cartoon wildlife, that might well be enough.

Answer 2

Yes life is rough, when a deer loses a fawn I feel for her or a elk has to go down so that the mountain lion and then some coyotes can eat it is sad, but that is how life is,
Years ago man decided to kill the coyotes because they tought of them as a danger to there cattle, then the rabbit population became so great they were eating all of the feed that the cattle ate so they were starving to death,
Further more what would you feed these wild beast? wheat germ and soy beans? no you would have to feed them meat, and then some animal will have to die anyway.
the herds of these gentle animals will grow to the point then that they eat them selves out and then die a slow death of starvation. okay think now which is more humane, a quick death caused by the breaking of the neck or a slow death of starvation.
Don't get me wrong we have to take care of are environment but there has to be a point were we have to let mother nature take care of herself. She did a good job before man arrived on the scene.

Answer 3

If you are talking about the natural food chain that occurs in the wild, then nothing should be changed. Those animals aren't dying in vain. One animal dies so that another will live. It's the basic circle of life. If we were to tamper with the dynamics of nature like that we could cause problems beyond belief. Think about the basic conditions all living things on this world operate under before you ask a question like this.

Answer 4

That is a nice thought lilbird, but if all beings will be vegetarians, there will be overpopulation on this earth. Besides, animals only hunt when they are hungry, and the mode of death is usually swift.

Greenpeace helps by making the public aware of the plight of the environment and the balance of flora, fauna and the environment. It is one of the organizations who is brave enough to publicly protest against large international organizations.

Answer 5

This question literally brought tears to my eyes, and your good intentions are admirable.

Unfortunately, there is a delicate balance in nature, and when man has tampered with that, the results are disasterous.

I guess we'll just have to hope that God has a plan not just for us, but the other creatures He put here on earth. While we may mourn for the seeming cruelty, carnivores do have there place on earth.

Answer 6

its only cruel in our eyes as we have been removed form the natural course of nature SO far that we no longer understand the meaning of the circle of life......animals eat other animals and thats just the way it is, it makes the balance of nature stay balanced & keeps everything in sync.....frogs eat bugs, birds eat frogs, small mammals eat birds, and do on & so forth, they're jsut doing what nature intended for them to do, its all planned out in thebig picture of things & honestly messing w nature isnt a very wise idea...you screw up the cycle & you screw up the balance

Answer 7

yes we need to change the natural cycle of life on this planet, duh no!

why are you worrying about how the little antelope feels when the lion is tearing its jugular in half, when we are destroying our world with polution and overpopulation and overusing our resources, another hundred years and were going to implode, i think that gazell over there is lucky to meet its end and not be around to see up implode

Answer 8

beasts in nature eat other beasts in nature.
it's not nice when humans do that to beasts because we have a choice. meat -eating animals don't, it's natural instinct for their survival.

Answer 9

How about if we try feeding all of the world's people first?

Answer 10

yes, they called it Happy Meals
