Guinea Pig Report

The fetal pig dissection was helpful for one to understand the body and all of the body’s functions. The procedures helped the students precisely do the dissection correctly. The questions that were assigned helped the students have a deeper understanding of the pig’s body. This dissection also helped the students become familiar with some of the organs in the body like the liver, heart, and intestines. All in all, this dissection was helpful in learning all about the body.

In movies you hear some things about guinea pigs. You may hear that they are mostly used as test subjects. You may hear that people eat them in South America. You may think that guinea pigs are gross, long tailed rodents, but they aren’t. In my opinion guinea pigs are cute. And they have no tail. But they are classified as a rodent.

Sus scrofa, or the domestic pig is a member of the class Mammalia and the order Artiodactyla. Since we as humans are also a member of class Mammalia, we have a good deal in common biologically with pigs, although we might not like to think so. Since we have a good deal in common, it is very helpful for us to study these animals both anatomically and physiologically. We do this when we test medicines on pigs, perfect surgical procedures on pigs, and even when we used to use pig valves for replacements in human hearts. Thus the pig is a first-rate example of a mammal and the purpose of this lab is to recognize the specific similarities between the pig and ourselves as humans. To accomplish this we

Pigs are one of the most similar animals to humans, and can be analyzed to learn about the organ systems of the body. Both pigs and humans are mammals, omnivores, furless and featherless, and their fetuses receive nutrients from their mothers through the umbilical cord as they develop (Field). These

Considering that I had twenty-six guinea pigs, I would do it again in a heartbeat. I think guinea pigs are cuter and nicer than hamsters.they play with you and cuddle with you. They might require more, but there's nothing I wouldn't do for my pet. Nothing, is as cute as a guinea pig running around their cage and sleeping on your chest.

The three guinea pigs waited curiously in a cardboard box in the car around the corner of McDonald’s. There was three of them, one male and two females. The first female had a white coat with black spots on it. She was very selfish and stubborn and would always try to eat all of the food. The second female had light brown spots and always crazy hair. She was the opposite of her sister, sweet and shy, except for when she was hungry. The only male had dark brown spots and always smooth hair. He was gentle and quiet and would never squeak unlike his two sisters. They were only a couple months old and they each had their own unique personalities, whether it was good or bad.

One dark, misty night on Manor farm, the pigs were partying. They partied in the Jones house with Mr. Pilkington Napolean didn’t let any other animals into the house besides the pigs were so fat they couldn’t stand on two feet, they had to crawl. On the other hand the other animals were locked up in the barn and very mistreated; they were only fed leftover whiskey, milk, and apples.

Adult mice between 8–24 weeks of age were used and handled in accordance with the IACUC

Free the guinea pigs! Adopt don’t shop! Suffering is everywhere, but I take an optimistic approach this fact of life. For two years I have volunteered at a small animal rescues called Wee Companions. My task is to educate potential adopters on guinea pig care and clean over fifty foul cages every week. I witness people relinquishing badly kept guinea pigs in small cages every weekend and while it is disheartening, I am thankful that the rescue exists and eases the suffering of small animals. The way I see it, easing discomfort is the most meaningful action in life since our current existence is the only one we are sure of, so why not make it more comfortable? This philosophy manifests itself through my volunteer work. If I clean one cage, then

On May 16 2017, my partner and I dissected a rat in Anatomy. I was looking forward to the dissection, although the thought of cutting a rat open was not very appealing. Although, I do enjoy partaking in and watching surgeries on YouTube. The sad part though for this lab was that it would be our last one with Mr.Cantrell. My partner for this lab was Caitlin Ledbetter, as she has also been my partner for the whole year. Once walking into the classroom, the smell of formaldehyde filled my senses, making me want to gag. The aroma is not very pleasant, although, you tend to get used to it after a while. As class began, we were given a packet with the directions on where and how to cut the rat. We were to cut the skin down the stomach and across

Your commitment to school is like breakfast. If breakfast was like “ham and eggs” are you the chicken or the pig? What this means is that do you put everything in on the activities and responsibilities you do each day. Do you try your hardest, or do you only give little bits of hard work when it comes to your responsibilities. So when it comes to life, school, career, are you the chicken or the pig?

Pigs are unable to move in their cages. The baby pig ears, tails are cut off and their teeth are chopped off to prevent them from harming other pigs. They are castrated without any pain killer. The baby pigs are given antibiotics to promote rapid growth. Their body grows, so fast, the legs become crippled. Many pigs are ill, but are kept alive to be shipped off to slaughter to get a profit. The pigs that did not make it to slaughter are shot with a gun to prevent them from eating the farmer’s feed. Pigs are abused by beating them with a gate rod to be moved from one place to another. Most pigs arrive at the slaughter lame or dead from the crowdedness during transporting. Pigs are electrically shocked to move on the killing floor of the slaughtering

Since we are getting a pet we should get a guinea pig. We should get one because they are soft, they don't take up much room, and don't smell bad.

Feral swine are a growing concern for managers across the United States as they cause damage to the environment, wildlife and livestock depredation, and are transmitters for disease. While both lethal and non-lethal strategies have been used to eliminate populations of feral swine, lethal approaches tend to work best, leading Dr. Snow and his team to develop a toxicant comprised of sodium nitrite to control this species. To integrate this toxicant into management practices, the product must pass four criteria set by the EPA: 1) create a stable bait source the target will consume; 2) have a 70% efficacy rate in the field and a 90% efficacy rate in captivity; 3) provide little evidence of secondary hazards; and 4) supply the toxicant in a reliable
