Instead of hunting wildlife and exotic animals to extinction, we should respect them for the living, breathing, sentient beings they are. We should leave them in the wild and let them live their natural, normal lives without human intervention, predation, or destruction of their habitat. Hunting and fishing, unless for subsistence living, are brutal means of showing dominance over wildlife and exotic animals. Mounted heads/bodies in one’s home do not show the respect we should all have for the wild animals in our environment. We can learn to co-exist with native wildlife and exotic animals if we simply place them on a level with ourselves instead of placing ourselves and our needs above them.

	A Broken Wing, An Orphaned Fawn What to Do with Injured/Orphaned Wildlife "If you find an injured or what appears to be an orphaned wild animal, remain as calm as possible. Try not to cause any stress to the wild animal as this will only cause the animal to try to get away, possibly causing further injury..."
	Enjoy the Party, Respect the Guests Animal- and Eco-Friendly Celebrations "No matter what the occasion—wedding, birthday, family reunion—use it as an opportunity to celebrate the natural world, too. Making celebrations animal- and eco-friendly brings us pleasure as well as peace of mind. It is possible to have the most fun while doing the least harm to the natural world..."
	From Alligators to Zebras Exotic Pet Trade "Many exotic animals are captured in the wild and then transported to the market where they will bring the highest dollar value. The majority die in transit from the wild to the auction block or from auction to their new homes in zoos, with private collectors, exhibitors, pet owners, and pet stores. Those who are bred in captivity do not fare much better..."
	Fur Is Fatal Fur Trapping and Farming "Millions of animals are trapped and killed each year for their skins and fur—animals sacrificed so their bodies can be used as fashion statements to line jackets worn by runway models and trim the edges of designer clothing, not to mention the full-length coats made completely of animal fur or skin..."
	Home on the Range Cattle Grazing on Public Lands "The very land on which open-range cattle are raised is eroding beneath them, devastating native vegetation, deteriorating water quality, and drastically reducing native wildlife population..."
	Living on the Wild Side Co-Existing with Wildlife "Chances are you have encountered wildlife in your neighborhood, backyard, or home. As a humane-minded individual, you are probably wondering the best way to peacefully live with these animals..."
	Protecting Our Wildlife Endangered Species Act (ESA) "Science has been moving ahead in what appears dramatic fashion. Over the last several decades, science had advanced to the level of being able to clone body parts as well as complete animals. In addition, body parts from one species can be transplanted into another..."
	Refuge for Whom? National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS) "Depending on where we live, we may find forests replete with wild birds, flora, and fauna. If by the ocean, we find marine life as the waters share their cornucopia of creatures. What most of us do not see or experience is what goes on in these refuges year around—the killing and destruction of the very species refuges are meant to protect..."
	Sacrifice at Sea Fishing "Commercial fishing is big business, on a scale with land-based factory farming. In fact, some commercial fisheries use trawlers the size of football fields to catch their sought-after harvest. Underwater explosives are used to “herd” fish to make capturing a large number easier..."
	A Wildlife Banquet Feeding Native Wildlife "Feeding native wildlife can be a source of joy and connection with the natural world. However, it is equally important to ensure that any feeding and other forms of interaction with wildlife are done in a way that best meets the animal’s well-being as a wild creature..."
	The Woods Are Not Safe Hunting "Hunters who hunt for the thrill of the kill lose themselves in an ancient belief that humans rule over the animals. We do not. In reality, hunting disrupts migration and hibernation patterns. It decimates animal family units and degrades habitat..."
