This is my Final essay of the course, and I want to have the brainstorm part on my worksheet, and a separate draft. The topic is: You are the director of wellbeing at a large zoo and are tasked with writing population control policies related to euthanasia of healthy animals, how do you handle overpopulation?

Some considerations: Try to consider multiple types of animals – avoid only focusing on large mammals or just aquatics or just prey species; think about solutions that are generalizable to many species, and what considerations might be species specific.

The brainstorm worksheet is attached, and all the things that are not argument should have reference cited. Please use reliable source or sites, and give APA format Citation. Please contact me for sources if you don’t have access to most of the reliable scientific articles, so maybe I can help find it. But do not use sources that are random.

For the draft part, it should include introduction, including:

• Introduce the ethical dilemma; explain why is it a moral dilemma
• Explain who has moral standing (who is being considered as part of your moral deliberation?). For the purposes of this essay, you should consider all stakeholders to have equal moral standing.
• The introduction should include at least one properly cited reference

and parts and structures on the brainstorm worksheet, maybe 3 big paragraphs or 5. The maximum is 3 pages.

You will be creating a presentation over marketing lamb to consumers. While lamb is considered a delicacy in many cultures, beef and pork continue to dominate shelves in the United States. Your goal as a team, is to create a marketing plan that is tailored to groups of people to try and gain interest of lamb meat. Your flier, social media posts, and everything else should be included in your PowerPoint Presentation.

Almost a century ago, a deliberate campaign to kill all wolves in Yellowstone National Park was launched. By 1940, the grey wolf was completely eliminated from the park. This had far reaching and often suprising consequences. In 1995, the wolf was reintroduced to the park to try and stabilize a rabidly disintegrating ecosystem. Using the sources below, I want you to write a one page essay that looks at what has happened since. I want your essay to answer this question: Was the reintroduction of wolves beneficial to the ecosystem of Yellowstone National Park? You essay must have the three sections we discussed in the previous module.

An Introduction: Tell us what you’re are going to Tell us

A Body: Tell us (with details and evidence)

A conclusion: Tell us what you told us.

This is a research paper/case report, to be no fewer than 7-10 pages, NOT including references/works cited or supplemental material, such as photographs, sketches, maps, logs, etc. — these supplemental items must be included, but are not part of the 7-10 written pages. This project may require research outside of the material provided in class, especially pertaining to animal anatomy, insect evidence, etc. Step 1: Pick an animal, any animal (or bird, reptile, fish, plant, etc.)… an animal you would like to investigate as part of a wildlife crime. You will be choosing the crime and describing it, as well as setting it up physically to investigate and process. Step 2: I expect you to use your imagination: Possible scenario: you are a game warden or wildlife official – on patrol or by some other circumstance you discover or are notified of an animal (whichever one you chose in Step 1) that seems to be the victim of a crime (poaching, illegal trade, etc. the crime is up to you to choose); you must identify the animal and determine if it was, in fact, part of an illegal activity. Step 3: You will be formulating details of this animal and crime based on the things we cover in this class. For example, if you choose a bald eagle, I will expect you to describe feather structure/morphology, and how you determined the species, etc. Step 4: Construct your project as we go along in the class; since we will be covering crime scene investigation procedures along with morphology and taxonomy, describe your animal morphologically and every detail of how you processed your particular crime scene. Include which government agencies are responsible for policies regarding your animal and describe those policies; refer to legislation. Include background information on your animal, IUCN status, ecology and conservation concerns, etc. Would your scenario include impression evidence? Describe how and in what context, along with how you collected and processed the evidence. What about trace evidence? Bloodstains? DNA? Would there be a necropsy report? Whatever your particular scenario would have evidence-wise, I expect to see it all documented properly and processed in detail with results included. As we cover these topics in class, think about them in terms of your final project. Step 5: Include a full crime scene case report. Use supplementary materials: logs, sketches, photos, etc. Describe the scene and how it is processed, the types of evidence found and how they were collected, techniques used, etc. Again, which types of evidence that we’ve covered would be relevant to your particular animal and crime? Step 6: Write up some type of conclusions section based on the results of any evidentiary tests, interviews, crime scene findings, necropsy reports, etc. If you include results, you should include the testing methodologies, reports, and forms just as you would in a real crime scene report. **We will be working on this throughout the semester in stages corresponding to module sections. Certain weeks there will be assignments designed to help you develop and assemble your project. While this is to be done in a scientific format you can still be imaginative. Feel free to include a narrative of what you encountered and experienced. This is to resemble a real crime scene report that would be presented in court (albeit with a bit more animal background material than would be required). Sample Section 1: Description of case, including how you were notified, what you found on arrival, who was present, etc. Section 1.5: Animal description, ecology, background info, conservation status, legislation, etc. Section 2: What was done on-scene, what was collected, analysis, etc. Section 3: Logs, forms, sketches, photos, interviews, supporting documentation, etc. Section 4: Crime scene report Section 5: Conclusions based on findings This is just a sample! Your paper doesnt need to be broken into these sections. It can be written as a story, with relevant information included, or as a more scientific paper. I am looking to see this as an incorporation of all relevant material that we discussed this semester that would be applicable to your particular subject and scenario, but it must still be professional in format. Be sure to include proper citations (APA format) throughout your paper and in the references section at the end. NO MODELS – you cannot create a tiny model scene – this must be a life-size set-up that you can move around in, just like a real crime scene. Your final project must be submitted as ONE COMPLETE DOCUMENT, preferably in PDF form, that includes all of your photos, supporting documentation, forms, sketches, etc. Criteria Ratings Pts Initial Case Description 20 to >18 pts Full Marks All pertinent information included in case description summary, including dates/times, contact information of initial responding officers and crime scene investigators, background of notification, and general information about scene location 18 to >16 pts 90% Missing no more than 1 portion of relevant initial case description, as outlined in 20 pts section 16 to >14 pts 80% Missing no more than 2 portions of relevant initial case description, as outlined in 20 pts section 14 to >12 pts 70% Missing no more than 3 portions of relevant initial case description, as outlined in 20 pts section 12 to >0 pts No Marks Missing more than 3 portions of relevant initial case description, as outlined in 20 pts section / 20 pts Crime Scene Description and Information 20 to >18 pts Full Marks Includes full description of the scene;
