I found this source on the Academic One File from the Electronic Resource on MCC Library Database. This article is about the fight in the courts and on the streets to save hunting rights in America against animal-rights activists. It gives reasons for why hunting is in danger from anti-groups and what sportmens can do help preserve hunting. This is a respectable source because I found it on the library database. This source will be useful for my research question because it describes the importance of saving hunting in America which is ultimately my purpose of my paper.

I found this source on the Academic Search Premier in the Mesa Community College Library Database. The article is about giving a descriptoin of anti-hunting and hunting and how it effects America on many different levels (economy, environmental, social). In addition, it also talks about some common ground between the two groups. Both groups agree about poaching and how it should be eliminated. A valuable statistic I found in the article was that hunters spend billions of dollars annually which benefits federal agencies and conservation of wildlife and land. This is a respectable article because it was on the Mesa Community College Library Database. This source is going to be useful for my research question because it talks about both sides of the about the issue of hunting which will help me write about the argument (address both sides).

I found this source on Academic Search Premier on the Mesa Community College Library database. The article is about Jim Zumbo, the author of the article, discussing what hunters in the United States can do to promote hunting and how to deal with animal-activists. The article tells sportmens to vote on election day to preserve hunting, speak out to the mass media to let the public know about the importance of hunting, and joining organizations, such as National Rifle Association, which are pro-hunting activists. The source is respectable because it was found on the Mesa Community College Library database and the author, Jim Zumbo is a world-renowned outdoor writer and respected through the hunting community. This is beneficial to my research because it shows how to deal with anti-groups and what sportmens can do to win the fight and opinions of others. My topic is about the effects and strategies of sportmens trying to change the non-hunting community views and this article answers my topic.

I found this source on General OneFile on the Electronic Resource link on the Mesa Community College Library website. The article is about how the largest anti-hunting group creating a legal department to fight sportmens in court. The legal department is known as Animal Protection Litigation. It was created after the Humane Society of the United States and Funds for Animals merged together. The department has added four attorneys and have over $98 million for annual support in legal battles against sportmens. This source is useful because it shows the other side of my argument. It shows what the anti-hunting community is doing to fight against the hunting community. This source is respectable because it is on the Mesa Community College Library database.
