I want to ban the use of M-44s against animals because these animals are not always trying to harm they just want food.  I know a lot of farmers use these because they don’t want their livestock to be eaten but almost all the farmers who use the M-44s are going to kill their livestock later that year. They might not get their money for their livestock but I don’t get why they have to use these to protect there livestock.   Almost all humans are predators we eat animals because people like to and it’s high in protein. But that isn’t an excuse to kill them. We are just like the predators that are being killed when we eat meat.   A lot of families dogs die when they are walking around not harming anything and they come across a M-44 and think it smells good and decides to eat it . Basically these family pets are being killed for no good reason. If you were to kill these predators to extinction then the prey that these animals hunt would become over populated then you would possibly have to hunt them.  When I was in preschool our teachers always told us treat others how you want to be treated would you like to have someone come up and kill you?  When these animals eat and pull on the M-44s their last few moments of life is suffering and pain and thinking what is happening?  Who is doing this to me?  Why can’t I breathe?  This is why I want the M-44s to be banned.  Because they are harming animals half the time for no reason.
