Should there be stricter laws for protecting endangered species

  Should there be stricter laws for protecting endangered species?

Good morning everyone present; I am going to talk about ‘should there be stricter laws for protecting endangered species?’ I strongly believe endangered species should be conserved by implementing stricter laws and safety measures. Paul Oxton , the famous wildlife photographer and conservationist says, “Humanity can no longer stand by in silence while our wildlife are being used, abused and exploited. It is time we all stand together, to be the voice of the voiceless before it's too late.”

God created all life forms with equal care and love. As man loves freedom, so do all forms of animals. Man uses animals for his pleasure, entertainment and convenience. This is man’s cruelty to animals! Added to this cruelty, his avarice has further wreaked havoc on the animal kingdom. He has denuded forests from the face of earth; in his blind race of industrialization he has polluted the very air we breathe. The innocent animals in the forests have been dragged to the verge of extinction. Still his hunger is unsatisfied! He has made the sacred affairs of life into mundane trade and commerce. For him animals are raw material for his production of profitable goods and merchandises! Any animal that comes within the range of his greedy perception, is gone forever. The fur animals such as foxes, minks, rabbits, wolves, cats, beavers, tigers, leopards, and many more, man hunts all of them for trading their furs in return for money! He forgets that these animals are an integral part of the ecological system.  

The price of human greed is being paid by poor, innocent animals. Some animal species are getting depleted at an alarming rate. If the present state of affairs is allowed to continue, the next generation will not get to see many majestic animals even in the zoo.  

The situation is so critical that if an army of volunteers dedicated to the cause of preservation of innocent animals, the chances are the planet will become completely devoid of them. It is high time that the Government introduce such subjects at schools as are dedicated to animals’ welfare. Animals preservation specialization subjects and related job opportunities must be created by the Government so that a campaign can be launched to ensure the preservation of beautiful animals—our partners in existence.  

However, in order to save the rare species of animals from extinction people, the Government, and the Animal Right Activists further need to act concertedly to ensure safety and protection to animals. The need of the hour demands more proactive strategies and their implementation to save and protect animals. The Save Animals Activists in collaboration with Government should make a task force to stop and annihilate cruelty to animals. There should be a unit of commandos equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to trace and protect endangered animals. They should use high quality reconnaissance and surveillance tools such as satellites, drones, sensors, etc. to track animals and poachers; and a special team of commandos should always be ready to reach the poaching hotspot to foil the poachers’ nefarious bids.

People found guilty of harming the endangered species of animals should be given severe punishments.
