What I read
In "DR Congo: Oil drilling allowed in wildlife parks" (2018) says that the government have allow to explore for oil in the two protected wildlife parks in Congo which obviously have no good points for the endangered animal such as the apes, bonobo and mountain gorillas. Moreover, the environmental activists make a move to defended these two parks and claim that the oil exploration will cause more problems in global warming.

My response
In my opinion, I believe that there have a lot of places in Congo to find oil. These two protected wildlife parks,Virunga and Salonga, should be excepted from the exploration, not only for the endangered animal, but also one of third area that will be destroyed from the human action. Moreover, who can guarantee that the wild animal will not harm by the explorers ? sometimes they need to protect themselves or their family, if they heard any loud noise, maybe they will come and attack the camp.
In addition, I think that no one have any rights to destroy the wildlife, everything have their own way to live and come along their fate, but human which is the most cruel species in the world always ruin them and claim for the human needs. I am truly can not accept this kind of thought and I hope that someone will speak this opinion out loud someday.

My question
Do the animals will harm by the explorers ?

Although I like Nice's thoughtful responses to her chosen source, I thought that it was very strong to say that "no one have any rights to destroy the wildlife." Every rice farmer and every cattle or other producer of human food has done exactly this. When we make rice farms, or dairy farms for milk, we are destroying wildlife to feed humans. Should we really stop turning wild areas into farms, oil mines or cities?
ReplyDeleteI really like Nice's responses because they make a neat introduction to an extended reading we look at next week. Actually, I printed the text yesterday, but we didn't quite get there, so they are on my list of things to do in our class next Saturday.
