Animal Protection Resources of Panda's and Other Wildlife

In recent years, every country has invested a lot of manpower and money on the protection of wildlife and birds. So some people say that too much attention and too many resources are given for that and human should invest money and effort in the people who live in poverty. According to my observation, I totally agree with this statement.

On the one hand, it is good thing that giving attention and resources on the protection of wildlife and birds. According to the statement from World Bank (2014), it is important for human lives because protecting some endangered animals can keep natural equality. And people should be banned about hunting animal activities. Some animals are cute and some animals are good friend of human.

On the other hand, giving too much attention and too many resources for wild animals and birds may have some disadvantages. Firstly, excessive protection makes some animals overrun and fearless. Morgan Giordano (August 2016) specified 10 islands which are completely overrun by hundreds and thousands of animals, such as Kauai Island. It is the fourth largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago. Now the fowls occupied the island because there were no natural enemies. And in another island, 2,000 to 4,000 venomous snakes fill this island which is near Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Their ability to 'melt human flesh' makes the island so dangerous that the Brazilian government strictly restricts people's access to the island and requires that any team access to the island must have one doctor with them. It is an annoyance.

Secondly, in order to protect wide animals and birds, some protection organizations were established. Running these organizations need to spend much money. And taking care animals also need money, such as Chinese giant pandas. They have own living areas and some special working staff are employed to take care these pandas. Their living condition is better than some poor people. According to the speech from Dave Towne who is president of the Giant Panda Conservation Foundation for North America (2013), caring for a panda that minimum cost is $1 million a year including trainers’ payment, medical care and bamboo supply. I think it will be the most expensive animal in the world.

Thirdly, there are still many poor people in the world who have not enough food and clothing for survive. If you read “11 facts about global poverty”, you will know 22,000 children did each day and 805 million people are suffering hungry due to poverty. These figures are so impressive that they prompt us to do something for these poor people. In conclusion, protecting animals should be encouraged, but can’t spend too many resources on it. Human beings should put much attention and more resource to improve living conditions for poor people.
