Hunt of a Lifetime

their one heartfelt wish” (Wish.org). Even though most children's wishes are granted, in one particular instance a young boy’s wish was denied. Zachary Martin who had bone cancer, was sixteen years old at the time when he asked the Make-A-Wish Foundation to grant his wish for a hunting trip. But, unfortunately the Make-A-Wish Foundation crushed the boy's life long dream by denying his request. The foundations reasoning for denying the request was, “It’s a safety concern, basically with exposing the kids and other participants to the potential danger from a weapon being handled by someone who is in a weakened state from a life threatening disease” (ABC News). The foundation crushed Zachary’s dream and the boy got his wish granted by Hunt of a Lifetime instead. A suggestion for improvement for the Make-A-Wish Foundation would be to grant hunting trips. Granting hunting trips will help the Make-A-Wish Foundation really live up to their own expectation of granting a wish to every eligible child. Also, The Make-A-Wish Foundation could improve by making people more aware of their policies. Another policy that most people are not aware of is that, “The child cannot have received a wish from any other wish granting organization” (Wish.org). This policy should be taken away because a child you has a life threatening diseases should be able to receive wishes from all places. Especially from a foundation that strives to grant all children's wishes. Overall, The Make-A-Wish…

is strigiformes, the family is strigidae, it’s genus is bubo and the specie is bubo virginianus. The lifespan is around 5 to 15 years, and the average offspring it has at one birth is 3 or 4 eggs. The average offspring in a lifetime is actually 1 to 6 either per lifetime or season. The reason for this, is because the owls usually keep the same mate, unless the mate dies, which then, the owl will find a new one. The length it takes for the eggs to hatch, is about 30 to 37 days. The owl’s body…

The anti-hunting supporters claim that animals should not be hunted because it is unnecessary for them to be killed. Today we…

have always been brought up on the experiences of hunting. It was just the thing to do where I am from. Coming from a small town in southern Louisiana, friends and family made it a thing to do to bond and enjoy. Hunting is a way to create friendships that will last a lifetime. This happens because hunting is universal. It can be shared between different cultures, races, and countries. I personally have made many friends while I’m sitting down on a cold blind with a mug of coffee sharing stories.…

better feeling than the adrenaline rush you get when a trophy animal finally emerges itself in the clear which creates a perfect and clean shot. Some of my best memories are not just limited to the amount of time and hard work that was spent preparing for the hunt but also the thrill of harvesting a trophy animal. Prior to hunting season, my family, friends and I prepare the land in hopes of being able to harvest the game. Weeks before the season opens, weekends are filled with bush hogging,…

don’t know what freedom is, so why are they being held captive in tiny, cramped cages? Animals should not be held in zoos because, captivity is affecting their behavior, if they get released into the wild, they won’t be able to hunt and survive, and animals are showing signs of depression and anxiety. First of all, captivity is affecting their behavior. Being inside a cramped cage that doesn't change much can get old very quick. Being sentenced a life in a zoo, not being able to leave or do…
