In
the reading passage there is ample support to the author’s point that migrating
endangered reptiles from inhospital regions to other spots is not a practical
method to protect them. However, the professor in the lecture gives several
reasons as a rebuttal to the reading passage’s claim.
First
of all, the speechmaker insists that there are some ways to deal with the
overpopulation issue. Sand Lizards, for example, can be relocated to better
environment which is no other type of lizards there. If Sand Lizards live in
the suitable place, there would be no competition about food or other
resources. In addition, people can produce several artifact structures like
man-made rocks. This casts doubt on the reading passage’s argument that relocating
reptiles leads to overpopulation in a new environment.
Second,
the speaker in the lecture says that infection can be prevented by viable
treatments. For example, people can visit a new area, detect sick animals and
simply remove them. If practical treatments were conducted, snake fungal in the
reading would not have occured. This counters the reading passage’s suggestion
that there is hazard to spead epidemic and harmful disease in the process of
relocation.
Finally,
the lecturer contends that we can take several actions to prevent the animals’
death and hurt. For example, water in the trap box is a solution to retiles’
dehydration, and covering items like moth can hide the animals from dangerous
predators. This refutes the reading passage’s claim that reptiles may be
injured and killed during captures.
