Human Kills California Condor

In John Ritter (2006) article “Lead poisoning Eyed As Threat T o California Condor,” the author says hunters use dangerous material that is harmful for California condor. According to article, organizers will establish laws, which are in favor of California condor. However, people who are fond of shooting they disagree with laws. Also, copper bullets would solve the problem but they are more expensive. Moreover, researchers also found that most of California condors are under risk. Therefore, lawmakers spend money to protect birds’ life.

I agree with author’s opinion that lawmakers established laws against sport foundation. California condor is farmers’ friends. However, California condor creates bad impression in our mind.

First, people hunt California condor just for hobbies the lives of the young. Some organizers organize shooting competition. But, they forget the valuation of birds. They also increase the number of people who join that kind of activity. Government establishes laws to protect California condor. For example; there are number of shooting sport foundations in India. They catch condors and other birds to organize shooting competitions. Suddenly, populations of birds collapsed in India. In the end, the Indian government established laws against shooting organizations.

Next, condor helps farmers. He is a predator of insects. Condor always prefers to live in green areas and farms. Condors play an essential role to maintain an ecosystem. Condor eats bugs in farms and it is really helpful for farmers. To some extant, condors save money and protect farmers’ crops. For example; my grandfather is a farmer. Whenever he grows plants, he irrigates his farm. At that time lots of condors come to my grandfather’s farm and eat bugs. My grandfather doesn’t need to use pesticides. It saves our money and time.

Finally, as we know, California condor is an omnivorous bird. It creates a bad impression in human life. We often see condors around dead animals. Condor is dirtier bird than other birds. He can’t adjust in our society. For example; in my village after animals die people throw them far away from the village. There are lots of condors who come around dead animals and eat with a very dirty style. It creates bad impression in our society. Sometimes, people are scared of condor’s eye.

In conclusion, shooting foundation is the worst way to get entertainment. California condor helps farmers and sustains eco system. Condor’s life styles encourage thinking about his negative characteristics.
