Public domain image downloaded from wikipedia
Hello everyone,
Today we are going to finish our discussion of overfishing, and then we'll talk about animal trapping. You can download the answers to the questions about the Jeremy Jackson TED Talk by clicking the link.

Animal trapping is a controversial topic. Organisations including People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PeTA) campaign against animal trapping. A Japanese celebrity, Aya Sugimoto has participated in PETA's "I'd Rather Go Naked anti-fur campaign. On the other hand, some people depend on animal trapping.



Before we read about trapping, let's study some vocabulary. Please click the link: Cross Cultural Awareness and English 2 Vocabulary Flashcards .

    I think that it is necessary for famers to trap animals. Because damages by animals are big problems for famers, they have to cope with these ploblems by trapping animals. Naoto.H

    I think that animal trapping is necessary.
    It is because that a large number of animals may damage nature as crops.
    For example, a wild boar eat crops and a deer eat bark to spoil the tree.
    However, trappimg too much may make animals extinct.
    Humans have driven many kinds of animals extinct by now.
    We must know it.
    What I want to say is that trapping should be done after due consideration .
    That’s all.

    I can't agree about animal trapping because some species are endangered by hunting. And it is connected with enviromental disruption. But some people make a living by animal trapping, so we can't ban it because to prohibit from hunting probably make them poor. I think we should not trap animal as the occasion demands.

    I agree with Mr.Martin because trapping animals is natural activity of human.
    According to reading2,"Trapping animals helps in the long run"(par 11), trapping is action of human as predator.
    And He thinks where he shouldn't trap animals.(par 13)
    I think that his trapping life is not overgetting but natural working.

    I think trapping is necessary for us.Those seem to be true for me that both envirimentalists or anti-trapping groups and this trapper say. However this trapper, Martin, have seen animals for long term. Of course, I think it is much longer than anyone who is against trapping.And he say "Most of these people don't know how animals live. They don't understand the animal's environment," So I think the opinion of this trapper is truer than anyone because he is more practical. Hunting overly is wrong but we can trust trappers like martin all right. Yuki S

    I think animal trapping is necessary. It is because that nuisance animals doing economical harm to people should be abolished.

    I think that activities of PETA go to extremes. I'm against the over animal trapping but it cannot be helped that we catch animals to eat. Since it isn't only humans that animals which hunt other animals to live.

    I think trapping should be forgived. At least they shouldn't be denied. This is my personal opinion that people may be egoistic man some extent. Trapping is to make a good living, I think. So I have like that opinion.

    I think that animal trapping is sometimes good, and sometimes bad. Animal trapping is caused to indiscriminate hunting. But without animal trapping, some animals would be born too much. So, I think that animal trapping is done by clever people.

    I agree with Martin. There are a lot of animals in the world. So there are also animals that are not good for peple. Therefore it is not bad to trap.

    Animal trapping is a traditional way to catch animals.It is necessary for some people to live.But if we catch so many animals,they may disappear from our planet.So we should catch animals only when we really need it.

    I think animal trapping is not bad things because trapping animal is necessary to live. But trapping animal should be only requirement because the number of animal is limited. So I think required animal trapping is good thing.

    I think animal trapping is unavoidable thing. Needless to say , killing an animal without a reason is bad things . But animal trapping is not same. It is done to live . A wild animal kills other animals, in order to survive. I think It and animal trapping do not change.

    I think that "Trapping" is necessary for good lives of people.
    There are many pigeons in Tokyo. We don't trap them, but can't feed them. The more pigeons there are, the worse people's lives become. So I think that a few trap is needed.

    I think animal trapping is necessary to live. because No other animals cannot living without get other living things to eat. And I think this sort of thinking is not thought to be medically because it is not pointed out living things which cause serious illness.
    But too much animal trapping is not good because this may cause extinction .

    I agree with trapping animals. Because it is natural that we eat animals. If we do not trap to hunt animals, we cannot catch them. Since we are very weak species. Using our brain to catch them is the best way to survive.

    I agree with animal trapping. It is in dispensable for us to live.However, it is capable of causing extinction of an animal of a certain kind. So,we should not kill too much.

    I think trapping to hurt animal is wrong, but it is fact that there are people who survive by hunting. So, unconditionally trapping may not be bad. However trapping to line own pockets is prohibit for the animal and natural.

    I think animal trapping is cruelty to animals.
    Of course, I understand animal trapping is necessary to keep animal away from farm or something else, but I think there is another way to keep animal away.
