This is an essay that I had to write and read inside Biology. Why? I have no clue. Anyways, it won't be too good due to the fact we only had about five minutes to write it. I know it's weird for someone to post a silly essay on here but I feel a bit strongly about the issue I wrote about so I figured I'd share my views. I'm not forcing you to take my opinion on this subject, not at all, I'm just stating my opinion.
Protecting an endangered species is upsetting natural selection. It's interfering by causing an imbalance. Also, it limits their exposure to the wildlife and turns them into a profit.
Humans already get involved with nature by killing things for sport rather than survival. This causes an imbalance in the order and certain things die off quicker than others. By protecting an animal, we are disallowing the predators to kill it and extending the life of a species that perhaps may have been extinct otherwise. The dieing of one species could lead to the developement of a newer one.
An animal becomes isolated from their natural habitat during it's protection. Thus, not able to be free or do things it should or did do. It's not stable because of the quick change and that could lead to it's death anyways.
Zoos tend to buy endangered or rare species because humans are curious and willing to pay in order to settle their curiousity about an animal. This turns a once free species into a simple piece of property and merchandise.
"Protecting" a species from extinction is just really killing it in a sense of the word or sometimes literally. We're offsetting the harmony balance of life.
