Seven tenets of the American conservation model
In this post I will tell about the seven tenets of the conservation policy. These tenets lay down the framework for the entire model. The first tenet is the public trust doctrine which states that wildlife belongs to all the public. The next is that wildlife cannot be sold in a market. Furs and antlers may be sold but not the animal. All hunting laws must also be made by the public for the public. After that the model states that all citizens can hunt. And that funding for conservation purposes is obtained through the purchases of liscenses and permits. It also calls for non frivolous use of wildlife. Which means that if you kill something it should be used in some way. The last two say that wildlife must be maintained internationally and that it be maintained with current scientific data. In my next post I will address issues with the American conservation model.

I think it's pretty screwed up how people things it's right that they can Just sell the furs and antlers of the animals and not the animal. I mean, if you go through all that trouble of hurting the animal, you might as well just sell the whole thing to the buyer. I just believe this is another situation of animal cruelty that the people of the world need to focus on.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Abby, it doesn't seem like people are to concerned about this but it's a serious issue. I don't think is ever ok to harm animals to sell them as objects. Can't wait to hear about the American conservation model.
ReplyDeleteI agree with both of you, if you kill an animal you might as well use the whole thing instead of just taking the antlers and other parts. I see it as a form of animal cruelty as well it just makes me sick to know the reasons behind killing certain animals.
ReplyDeleteI agree, hunters are always dumping carcasses in the woods near our property and it's awful. Most of the animal is commonly unused, and dogs find the animals all the time, eat them, and get sick. It's a really bad situation and I wish people didn't waste.
