“The Family That Couldn’t Sleep” was quite interesting and it included a lot of history way back in the 1800s until now. It’s amazing to see how a nonliving protein can do to our body and animals’ body as well. The researchers have been struggling to discover a cure for this particular disease. I hope they’ll keep trying to find a cure soon, especially with our modern technology.
A current issue that I could think of is polar bears crisis, which are in great danger right now. Unfortunately, our U.S. government has been strongly supporting the oil drill 46,000 square miles off Alaska’s coast -for oil next month. This situation brings many concerns from our American citizens. The biggest concern is that the industrial activity will clearly harm northern marine mammals. This includes polar bears, walrus, whales and other species that eventually harmed by oil drilling rigs or spills. This concerns me the most is that The Minerals Management Service ignored the dangers to animals and birds if an oil spill were to occur. Their main goal is to gain marketing profits and does not want to fully accountable for the mess due to cost purposes. So far, nobody has figured out who is mainly responsible to clean up the oil spilling. I believe our federal government and large corporations should always have appropriate plans this happens in the wildlife reservations. When the ice is melting, two-thirds of the world’s polar bears could be gone by 2050. Scientists have found numerous evidences that the polar bear populations will be heavily stressed when their environment is declining where they could not have a proper hunting platform due to climate change.
Would you want to protect the animals, specifically in Alaska? Do you also think it is a wise idea to have our government to support oil and gas industries to frequently drill more than 40,000 square miles off in order to market oversea?
