Sergio Nunez's Fight Summary

While on the hunt for Tom Chaney, her father's killer, Mattie faced adversity in the face when she lost her arm, but for her sake, it was worth it. Mattie, Rooster, and LaBoeuf were on Tom's trail while chasing him through the woods and they finally caught up to him in the woods in the final battle scene. Earlier that morning, Mattie had shot Tom, winging him, but not killing him and he then took her back to Lucky Ned Pepper's gang's hideout. Later that afternoon, when Mattie shot him, the backspring of the gun knocked her into a pit of snakes and bats where she ended up breaking her arm and getting bitten by a rattler, but Tom Chaney was dead in the end. All though Mattie eventually had to get her arm aputated, losing her arm was definiteley

“They are an animal that possess great spiritual power, something that shouldn’t be messed with” Throughout the documentary Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s is asking why we as humans do this to our animals, why we take them away from their family’s and home’s, lock them up in small room, force them to preform day after day in front of people paying for them to be tortured. A powerful message that should be endorsed and further taken seriously by all civilians.

In an article based on an interview published in Time Magazine, “A Change of Heart About Animals”. Jeremy Rifkin expresses his views about the similarity behavior and emotional state between us humans and animals, with the purpose to change the way of how we see and feel about them. “We’re so skewed toward efficiency that we’ve lost our sense of humanity. What we need to do is to bring back a sense of the sacred”, Rifkin, argues. He supports his arguments with the findings of many researchers around the globe. Researchers that come from very prestigious institutions using different species of animals, we’re talking about crows, elephants, geese, etc. Not your ordinary lab rats and monkeys (which they don’t have anything

International anti-war activist Mahatma Gandhi once stated that “the greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” This quote holds a lot of truth in The Wars by Timothy Findley. The animals and people that are present in the book share a palpable bond. Robert and Rodwell, two young soldiers on the English army regard animals as one of their own companions. They do not see them on a lower level, but rather on the same level, believing they deserve equal love and kindness. In fact, certain traits they observe animals are the same traits they view themselves. Robert and Rodwell’s relationship with their surrounding animals are comparable in terms of their empathetic temperaments and the intelligence

Man’s best friend: you would think that that title would conjure up images of humans, or even our closest cousins in the animal kingdom, such as monkeys, apes, and chimpanzees. However, the first image that enters most humans head is the same image that would have induced fear hundreds of years ago, the not so distant heir to the wolf: dogs. The same creatures that we feuded with for survival now take up a huge part of our lives and make up a large portion of the images littering the internet. Dogs take part in everything from movies to family gatherings, to search and rescue and emotional or physical service. Nearly fifty percent of American households alone have at least one dog, and between all of us we own 83.3 million dogs, a number not to be trifled with. The place our four-legged canine companions claim is undisputed and easily backed up.

Buck is the main character of this novel. The other animals in the novel are Buck, Curly, Spitz, Dave, Billee, Joe, Sol-leks, Dolly, Pike, Dub, Skeet, and Nig. Buck’s mother was a Scotch Sheppard, and his father was a huge Saint Bernard. Buck was a civilized dog, but answers the call of the wild and becomes one with the wild. Curly was Buck’s companion on the boat trip to the North. Curly is described in the novel as a “good-natured Newfoundland.” Curly does not survive long; however, Buck learns a gruesome lesson when he sees how easily Curly was murdered while trying to be friendly with Spitz. Spitz was the dog that assassinated Curly and becomes Buck’s most bitter enemy. He was terminated later in the novel by Buck in a dog brawl. Buck’s victory entitled him to take over the lead of the dogs that belonged to Spitz. The dog fight illustrated to me Buck’s ability to survive even among the most primitive elements. Dave, Billee, Joe, Sol-leks, Dolly, Pike, and Dub are the other dogs that serve on the dogsled team with Buck. Finally, Skeet and Nig were two of John Thornton’s dogs that he owned before he rescued and adopts

Everyone has different relationships with animals, s it varies between seeing them as threats or as part of the family. People believe that animals have emotions; therefore, they express happiness, pain or sadness. Since rats are worshiped by some cultures, people devote their lives to the well-being of rats. However, rats are also considered a hazard to society, so people believe they should be exterminated. Although individuals have different ideas, a balance is needed between killing and respecting the life of an animal. In order for a peaceful, balanced relationship to coexist between humans and animals, specifically rats and elephants, individuals need to respect that everyone has different beliefs on how animals are viewed throughout the world.

Elephant has long been known as one of man’s best friends, who have peacefully coexisted along with humanity for thousands of years. However, the relationship between the two is no longer in the equilibrium state. In “An Elephant Crackup?”, Charles Siebert discusses the downfall of the elephants. He gives a depiction of the recent raging and violent acts of the elephants among themselves and toward other species, including humans, and presents an educated and almost unexpected explanation to their behaviors. He says elephants are just like us; they have feelings and now are “suffering from a form of chronic stress, a kind of species-wide trauma”(Siebert 354). The similarity that should be something fascinating is now slowly turning them into the immensely savage beasts before wiping them out of existence. Even when the appearance of the words “stress” and “trauma” looks like a serious case of “anthropocentric conjecture”, it provides a totally new vision, a fresh way of looking at the boiling issue of the disappearance and sadistic acts of elephants specifically and wild animals at large. With the help of two powerful essays: “Great to Watch” by Maggie Nelson and “The Power of Context” of Malcolm Gladwell, the issue of the unusual behaviors of the elephants is thoroughly illuminated and its solution no longer seems to be out of human’s reach.

Wiping sweat off my forehead, I stand up excitedly. The paw-prints on the ground are fresh—I have almost located them. Jumping back into the beat-up pick-up truck, I follow the increasingly loud beeping of the radio telemetry set until I spot the pack just fifty yards in front of me. Quietly, I climb out of the vehicle, and momentarily stare in awe at the small pack of gray wolves I have been tracking for hours in the wilderness of Montana. My field pants are speckled with briars and a few stray leaves cling to my backpack and one even dangles at the end of my braided hair. I observe the wolves, noticing the behavior of each member, record various data of the current area, and save the point in my GPS. Having successfully completed the

Nevertheless, John admitted that teaching the “master-beast” basics to the dog was necessary in their relationship. Reading the book, I understood how it’s hard to have patience when a dog doesn’t obey the master’s commands. On the other hand, if a person loves dogs, he will forgive the chewed leather shoes and shredded furniture.

Many species of wildlife continue to be mistreated and neglected even when they show many signs of being intelligent creatures. In the article, “A Change in Heart About Animals” author, Jeremy Rifkin discusses many instances where animals prove smarter than people give them credit for. One of many discoveries evaluated by Rifkin where crows, that were able to manipulate a wire in order to retrieve food. The crow was able to adapt to the situation using its critical thinking skills, similar to humans. Since these crows showed immense skill and have characteristics similar to people they should, like people, be protected and not experimented on. Another humanlike quality shown in an animal, explained by Rifkin, is the ability to communicate with human beings. Koko the gorilla was taught

More than a million different kinds of animals inhabit the earth. The exact number is not known, for new kinds are continually being discovered. They live in the seas, from the surfaces down to the black depths where no ray of sunlight penetrates. Animals can be domesticated or left in the wild where they truly belong. However, as time passed by, nowadays, animals are endlessly being exploited and fought for around the globe. Different opinions from different countries and races have divided to defend to defend their views and make a stand. This issue about the animals’ welfare should be taken more seriously until we find the right answers.

Over the centuries, animals have suffered from cruelty from humans. In the United States, animals are beaten, neglected, or forced to struggle for survival. Animals have been inflicted with pain from humans for reasons other than self-defense. They have been slaughtered for their food and fur for personal gain in profit. In a majority of cases they have even been abused for someone’s own personal amusement or out of rage filled impulses. In some cases animals are found and rescued. They are given the second chance in life to experience what life should be like compared to what they once had.

Although the story follows the conception and growth of a pack of Alpha Manimal dogs (Irwin; Australian blue Heeler, Dozer; American Bulldog, Sadie; Doberman Pinscher, El Chingon; Chihuahua, Mangy; The Mutt.) as they become mankind's sole guardians from extinction, it is also about the duality of nature, who is slowly reclaiming herself from us. This overall story follows from the dawn of mankind’s struggle with earth’s rejection, to the dusk of their demise. Eventually becoming the endangered species with their Manimal K9 guardian’s being the only ones saving them from their extinction. The 6 issue foundation arc shows Man’s protectors rising from the K9 at a time when the Manimals begin to expose themselves in direct clashes with man. During this Arc the PACKHOUNDS are formed by a human organization named M.I.D under the supervision of M.I.D curator (note: I think there may be a better term than curator) Rangey. But when the plug is pulled on Rangsey’s new pack of hunters, they go rogue as independent mercenaries. The first main arc sets the stage of the PACKHOUNDS universe during the start of man’s struggle against the rising Manimal

described here is the wolves pack. This chapter contains the song of the wolves pack that they
