So what happens when we don’t have certain animals in the world to hunt for us to feed our cravings? Everyday animals go through harsh things without us humans thinking about the way they feel or look when they...

Animals should have certain rights so that abusers can have harsher consequences which in turn could help with future crimes, but doesn’t mean that they can’t be raised to feed our society or be used for other services. For centuries animals have been used by society to perform different duties. They are food for our families, they help the disabled, used for transportation, and other jobs. Yet if asked some still believe that they are just animals and were put on this earth to service people, not be equals nor have rights. For years animal activists have been trying to get society to see animals more clearly for what they are, living breathing beings. Some people believe that animal rights activists care more about animals than they do about other people, which isn’t entirely true. Some of the more extreme activists do but most activists have expanded their circle of compassion so that it includes both humans and non-humans. Most just believe that animals deserve to live humanely and with dignity, to be able to live without being abused and other cruelties visited upon them. The way some animals are treated can be incredibly brutal and despite the fact that they are not humans they are still living beings and should be treated with some amount of respect. Some people believe that the view that humans and animals...

...Which Is the Better Dog Food? The commercial dog food industry has been in existence for almost one hundred and fifty years. It affords a convenience to pet owners where by they only need to scoop out dry kibble in a bowl or open a can of pet food, without any additional food or supplement, pet owners do not know what ingredients are being used in the food. Many have relied on the dog food industry to use quality products in manufacturing their food. However, to their surprise, in some cases at the demise of pets this has not been the case. In light of all the pet food recalls since 1995 and more recently in March 2007, where Menu Foods recalled more 100 brands including Iams, Eukanuba, Hill’s Science Diet, Purina Mighty Dog and many store brands including Wal-Mart. Owners have began to take a more proactive approach as to learn what ingredients are in the product, by reading and understanding the label on the packaging and making a educated choice between the slew of brands whether it be dry kibble or canned food. Some owners are scrapping commercial dog foods all together and feeding their pet a homemade diet. These owners are convinced that the dogs health fare much better on these types of diets because before the existence of commercial dog foods pets ate what people consumed in the form of leftovers or table scraps or if they were in the wild they hunted their own food that provided the pet with natural protein and nutrients found in raw meat and plants...

...in the human diet. It is rich in proteins which have shown to have a high energy unit as compared to other food types. Proponents of meat consumption support its consumption as it has a greater nutritional value and is good to the test buds. Apart from the nutritional reasons, it is also thought meat consumption maintains the ecosystem at equilibrium. If meat consumption was to stop, it is thought that animals like cattle, sheep, goats and poultry will multiply to levels that are ecological disastrous. As most of these animals are herbivorous, their uncontrolled increase would exert extreme pressure on vegetation. This may cause wanton destruction to vegetation that may destabilize the ecosystem. In as much as these arguments appear logical and plausible, they still do not give any moral permissibility of eating meat. Just like any reason in support of unacceptable practice, proponents of eating meat do not give any solid ethical justification why humans should continue killing animals to please their test buds. There is no moral justification whatsoever to rationalize the eating of meat. Meat is said to contain some very essential nutrients that may not be found in plants and vegetable. This is however no moral justification of killing animals to obtain meat yet there are more reliable sources of proteins and vitamins. It appears that human nature is feeding on animals mainly for gustatory pleasure. As there are vegetables and fruits that can adequately supply human beings...

Geoffroy’s rousette fruit bats clinging on walls and ceiling of the cave Geoffroy’s rousette fruit bats feed on fruit and nectar. Their role as pollinators and seed dispersers is essential in sustaining Philippines forests, including such important commercial fruits as durian. Each bat consumes 1 ½ to 3 times its body weight nightly in fruit and nectar. This colony could consume 550 tons (500,000 kilogram) of nectar from durian and other trees, pollinating an incredible number of flowers. Worldwide,cave-dwellingt bats are in alarming decline due to human disturbance and destruction of their cave roots. In...

...Christopher Columbus sailed for Spain in 1492 and claimed all islands around San Salvador looking for gold. Spain eventually sent Columbus back to create an Empire. America should not celebrate Columbus day because of Columbus cruel punishments towards others, the way he influenced today's world, and the way he did not prove the new world. Christopher Columbus caused cruel punishment by cutting people hands off, making dogs attack the Native Americans, and him and his men would hunt people for sport. Columbus influence today's world through slavery, integration, and genocide. Finally, Columbus did not prove the new world because people already lived in the new world, he never set foot in North America, and he didn’t prove the earth was round. We shouldn’t celebrate Columbus day because of his cruel punishment towards...

...is only making it terrifying. The statistics of animal abuse are rising more and more with each year that comes. Although humans see it as something unfathomable, animal abuse occurs every day. Animal abuse is when physical pain, scarring, or death is brought upon an animal for no reason or showing it neglect. As shown in a group of statistics by The Humane Society shows that most abuse cases occur in dogs the most, commonly the pit bull. The Humane Society states that in 2001 abuse that occurred with dogs was around 13%, in 2007 it increased with a 12% jump to 25%, but in their latest study it was shown that 65% of abuse cases occur with dogs. As startling as this information may sound, it is a fact that society as a whole is becoming a worse place that feels like it is okay to hurt animals. In fact 68% of humans believe that the meat prices need to drop instead of worrying about the well-being of a cow or any animal. The ASPCA also agrees with what the human society has to say. The ASPCA agrees that the rate in which animal abuse is going is way too high. Animal abuse does not just have to be about physically hurting an animal. This could also mean neglecting it. An animal is just like any human. It loves being shown it is cared about and loved by the people it is around. When a human being just walks by the animal without saying such or forgetting to feed or water it, the animal feels as if it is not loved and therefore neglected. Leaving it hungry and wondering what it did...

...Most people have an idea about what a puppy mill is, but they don’t know to exact definition of what a puppy mill is and what takes place there. A puppy mill is an inhumane, dog-breeding facility where the health of all the dogs is disregarded in order to have fewer expenses and have a higher profit. What does that really mean though? It means that the dogs are kept in cages their whole life, feed and watered the bare minimum, and never get vet or any medical treatment for anything. According to McHugh-Smith, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region, “Lots of times the animals aren’t properly vaccinated, are unhealthy, are too young, or are out in the sun all day” (Stephans). When dogs are kept in cages outside all day to fend for themselves in whatever weather they can get sick, get overheated, or even die from the heat or cold, but we have to ask our selves is it better to keep them caged in a dark room where the only sunlight they get is the door opening? Animals are like humans and need sunlight but not all the day. Wellesley Coun. Dussan Cizman, a former dog breeder who is now helping to shut puppy mills down recalls one dark barn where dogs, covered in feces and bugs, were housed in rabbit pens suspended form the ceiling (Nicole). In other words puppy mills are cruel places were dogs...

... the words, "Good dog! Good dog!" 5 We thought her shy malaise was a shot reaction. The autopsy disclosed a rupture in her liver. As we teased her with play, blood was filling her skin And her heart was learning to lie down forever. 9 Monday morning, as the children were noisily fed And sent to school, she crawled beneath the youngest's bed. We found her twisted and limp but still alive. In the car to the vet's, on my lap, she tried 13 To bite my hand and died. I stroked her warm fur And my wife called in a voice imperious with tears. Though surrounded by love that would have upheld her, Nevertheless she sank and, stiffening, disappeared. 17 Back home, we found that in the night her frame, Drawing near to dissolution, had endured the shame Of diarrhea and had dragged across the floor To a newspaper carelessly left there. Good dog. Dog’s Death The death of a family pet is a traumatic event, leaving questions of our abilities as a pet owner. Personally, I could relate to “Dog’s Death” because as a person who lost a dog to a similar fashion as stated in this poem. John Updike’s poem “Dog’s Death” is about the loss of the family dog and the inability of being able to control the outcome. My essay will show three elements (elegy, imagery, and rhythm) that draw me to Updike’s poem and why these elements contribute to the attraction of his poem. The haunting phrase “good dog”, is that hole in the heart that feeds the hurt. I wandered why Updike did not title...
