Running with Bulls

On the contrary, many unfortunate attacks by Pit bulls could have been prevented. Let's face it, Pit bulls like any other animals have their faults. It's obvious they will be a few bad apples in the bunch, do

These calves would still be on pastures with their mothers on the off chance that they were not in the rodeo. Calves sold to the practice pens are roped again and again until they are harmed or killed.

Greyhound racing is quite abusive, no matter how much “fun” they seem to be having. The poor animals are underfed and have large muzzles over their mouths so that the winner can be clear in the circumstance of a “photo finish”(getagrey.com). But, these also block the dogs breathing, and could possibly weigh down their lightweight heads. Also, they could result in spinal injuries or worse. “Injuries common to Greyhounds forced to race include severed toes, broken legs, spinal paralysis, broken necks, and cardiac arrest”(ASPCA). These things cause thousands of deaths each year but could be prevented if racing was made illegal.

“We all ride for the same purpose, to win, but its those that ride with their heart and soul and leave everything in the arena that truly win in the end, no matter the outcome of the final placing.” Its not the person on the horse’s back, or the cowboy on a bodacious bull, that wins. It’s the horse and the bull themselves that are the champions. There are misconceptions when it comes to the sport of rodeo. Despite what PETA and animal activists think, rodeo is the way of life for some people and nothing can change that. We take pride in our animals, the livestock we use, and wouldn’t dream on attentionally mistreating these wonderful creatures.

My opinion, is that it is not a death row for dogs and isn’t just a sport for some cash and a pickup truck. This race is true and dear to some people’s hearts, and reminds them of the troubles the mushers went through to get the serum back to the small city of Nome. They participate in this race to feel and live what they lived. They do it to see mother nature’s work, and the mushers try their best to keep their dogs safe, because when they lose a dog, it feels like they just lost someone in their family, because they actually just did. They are very close to their dogs, and never want anything to happen to them. This race takes many precautions to keep the dogs safe, and know that the dogs are the biggest contributors to this race. There are some people who beat their dogs and treat their dogs horribly, but that’s one out of hundreds. These dogs were bred for this, and are trained day after day to run in this race. These reasons are why my opinion is to keep this race

Rodeos have been around since the day of the cowboy, they are often times credited for having Americas true cowboys. They include great display of athleticism between a cowboy or cowgirl, and the animals. Many rodeo events today, such as calf roping, are traditional farm and ranch practices. Some rodeo viewers don’t approve of what they see. Some people believe rodeos are too rough on the animals and that the animals are mistreated behind closed doors. Dr. James Furman (Beef Magazine), a professional rodeo animal practitioner, says that rodeos have strict animal policies. Cowboys will be disqualified, and often times fined for the mistreatment of animals. (Beef Magazine). Dr. Furman admits, "The rodeos do look tough on the animals, but ranchers take extensive procedures to make sure their cattle are in good health. If the rodeos truly did help the animals, would ranchers put their cattle in them." Furman also likes to add "Livestock

Tuesday November the 4th marked another Melbourne Cup, promising a day filled with champagne, crowds and colour. 1000s of spectators, staff and jockeys had lined up in the hope of cashing in on some success. Unfortunately this was not the case for the owners of Admire Rakti or Araldo, who tragically died after the race. This sudden and shocking news has re-ignited the issue of whether horse racing should be banned in Australia. Ironically this issue is driven on both sides by the same impulse: the love of the horse. Organisations including the coalition for the protection of racehorses along with animal welfare groups are concerned about the treatment and well-being of the horses. Similarly, horse owners, jockeys and staff’s main focus is the welfare of the horse.

This paper contains evidence and arguments regarding why pit bulls should not be portrayed negatively in society. It does so with a literature review on the topic containing three major topics, stereotypes of pit bulls, laws and bans on pit bulls, and the abuse of/on the Pit Bull breed. All of those topics have evidence, such as statistics, real life stories, and genetics/biological findings. This paper also contains three person arguments on why pitbBulls should not be portrayed negatively in society, they are argued by the same three major topics in the literature review: stereotypes, laws and bans, and abuse. The sole purpose of this paper is to inform society and to persuade society of the three things we do to the pit bull

In this manner, I will acknowledge the oppositions argument against the event’s cruelty; my broad understanding of the issue will instil some level of confidence in readers. A contrasting conjunction will be used however, to cut across the positivity that will be created and will hint at the author’s position on the issue; that the Melbourne Cup is cruel. Aiming to appeal to the audience’s sense of empathy, the excruciating training undergone by the ‘two-year-old horses’ will be explained with the consequences listed: ‘torn ligaments and tendons, dislocated joints and even fractured bones’ and ‘excessive stress’. This building up of sympathy prior to the introduction of the arguments will invoke in the audience the want to halt this cruelty already. The commonly recognized phrase ‘the race that stops a nation’ will be used effectively to convey the author’s point of view on the issue, serving as a pun. Intending to create guilt in the readers, the celebration on this day will be shown to cost the lives of the horses. Rhetorical questions will be utilized to belittle the opposition’s arguments, leaning on the side of sarcasm. The use of reputable sources such as the University of Melbourne, the RSPCA and the Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses throughout will provide shocking statistics that support arguments, this will evoke moments of agreeance in

The history of Pit Bulls is a violent one that most people don’t know about. The term pit bull referred to the now outlawed sport of bull-baiting, where they had a bull attach to the ground by rope in a pit. They would send dogs into the pit to subdue the bull by biting its nose and the bulls usually died since the dogs

One legend explained the origins of bulls, or bison and how they came . Splinter Foot Girl was a beautiful girl born from a warrior’s leg that was swollen from a thorny plant. A bull, called the bone bull, sent out to marry her, but was turned away. He tried multiple times, and finally, she gave in to him and went to live with the bone bull as his wife. Splinter Foot Girl’s father and the rest of the people she lived with missed her terribly, so they helped her escape by having a badger and a gopher dig through the ground to help her get away. The bone bull was enraged when he discovered Splinter Foot Girl was gone, so he followed the trail to a large tree where Splinter Foot Girl and her warrior family were hiding. Many bulls tried to break

E: Preview of main points: First I will inform you about what caused pit bulls to be banned, second I will talk about the effect it has on these animals and lastly how this affects us

In Tijeras, New Mexico, the ban was so strictly enforced that animal control officers were allowed to kill any Pit Bull seen on sight without compensation to the owner. Due to their misunderstood reputation, people made rash decisions that affected the lives of many loving Pit Bulls that never stood a chance. They have even become a “liability” due to their “overly violent” personalities and because of this have been banned from many areas in the United States.

In the preliminary stage (well, I lied there are actually four stages but the preliminary is not really considered one of the tercios), large capes, usually magenta and gold, are flashed before the bull. This is done in order to see how the bull will react. The bullfighters watch the bull closely to form a strategy for engaging it in the ring. If the bull is too timid, the fight could be boring because the bull will not charge when provoked, not allowing the matador to make skillful passes. However, if the bull is too aggressive, the fight may be too dangerous for the matador and he may have to kill the bull quickly. This is also an undesirable result. An ideal bull is one that is brave but the matador is able to manipulate. This allows the matador to show his artistry and skill in controlling the bull.

The effect of cruel animal treatment in circuses is becoming more and more apparentIn 1994 the Fox Show Animals fighting back an African elephant killed her trainer and injured 13 people before being shot to death. A few years ago a Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey trainer was mauled by a tiger leaving him paralyzed for life. The tiger was shot to death.
