How deep do you really think about ethical concerns when you hear about them? Well, he veterinarian medical profession has thousands of ethical concerns in today’s world and like every profession there are some that stand out and some that affect more people than you would actually think. Digging deep to reveal the ethical concerns to people conveniently euthanasing animals and putting growth hormones in cows just to produce enough food for today’s society can be a real awakening.

Breed-specific legislation is not as functional or as useful as it was intended to be. According to Fred Kray of StopBSL.com, “Breed specific legislation (BSL) is a law that bans OR restricts certain types of dogs based on their appearance, usually because they are perceived as ‘dangerous’ breeds or types of dogs”. These restrictions include total exclusion of certain breeds from individual cities, muzzle requirements for dogs in public, the requirement of purchasing liability insurance for dog bites or even the requirement of placing a “vicious dog” tag on the dog’s collar just to name a few. BSL causes the bully breeds (breeds considered dangerous and most importantly, have a Pitbull terrier appearance) to become more dangerous, leads to the discrimination of individual breeds, and causes Pitbulls to be put down when surrendered to shelters instead of being adopted into loving homes.

The objection could be raised that does this expert witness pass The Frye Test and The Daubert Factors. Under Frye, experts determined the bounds of the reliability in their field. The expert is determined the bounds of reliability in this field of animal toxins. Under Daubert, the gate-keeping rule has been shifted to the judge.

On Monday, August 1, I spend a majority of my day organizing various documents using “City Law.” First, I went through the animal litigation files and changed the status of the closed cases from “open” to “closed.” Most animal litigation files can be closed out once the owner of the animal receives a notice stating that their animal has been involved in an attack. After this, I spent some time filing witness subpoenas. I went through a list of witnesses who were called to court to testify and filed their information into “City Law.” This will then notify the finance department to pay these witnesses for their time. When a witness is called to court, they are provided with five dollars for their appearance as well as twenty cents per mile that they drove from their home. I analyzed the witness forms filled out by the police department and determine if the witnesses appeared in court on the day they were called. I then filed the form as “serve subpoena” or “non-serve subpoena.” The finance department will then be notified to send a payment only to those who appeared. In the city of Manitowoc, there is both a reward and a punishment when subpoenaing witnesses to court. If a witness does appear, they receive the previously mentioned five dollars plus milage, but if a witness does not appear, they receive a citation and a fine for contempt of court. Through completing assignments such as those that I worked on today, I have learned a lot about the Manitowoc Municipal Code and

The company needs to evaluate who comprises its target market. Is the market the entire dog food market? The 10 percent that is currently purchasing frozen food or the 15% that would purchase if it were more convenient to do so? Currently consumers do not associate dog food with frozen food; but even if they did, the product may still not appeal to the average consumer due to time requirements for its preparation and thawing.
