Over a million tourist will visit Jaipur, India this year. Sergio Nunez is not one of them, his visit is strictly business as one of M.I.D.’s brightest and most decorated Manimal hunters. His reputation binds him here for the purpose of hunting down and neutralizing a pack of Manimal Rhesus Macaques. Seems an entire troop of these thief monkeys have spontaneously evolved into Manimals and have begun shaking down the city of Jaipur. Manimals have been becoming more and more aggressive towards humanity and the M.I.D. (Manimal Investigation and Diplomacy) division has been assembled to deal with them. But what Nunez thinks is a routine Manimal euthanasia mission, ends up being a well laid trap for him personally. This pack of rogue monkeys is …show more content…

These particular animals are called Manimals and what many of these Manimals want is to reclaim the earth as their birthright, permanently severing man’s grip. This has the governments of the world very worried, so in response to that worry the UN has assembled an organization to investigate, assess and neutralize these threats. This Division is named M.I.D Manimal Investigation and Diplomacy. Working under the radar of sovereign nations and independently of the UN, M.I.D has been capturing and detaining these Manimals for study. Some of these studies have found that Manimal Canines still hold a bond with man even in stressed situations such as these. As the Manimal threat begins to grow like wildfire, M.I.D finds themselves unprepared for the severity of the aggression and assembles an experimental alpha pack of hounds to help neutralize the growing
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
The puppy witness the black wolf survival instincts. As they traveled together, they saw a traveling man with five dogs. The traveling man shot the black wolf so the black wolf went back to it’s lair to lick its wound. The puppy went home and found a trail of blood and fur leading to a mysterious den.
(Grant, PG.1, P. 12.)” Animals are loyal creatures that do not understand the consequences of the actions that they are committing. Their loyalty to the people they are working with comes before their own safety at times. The animals do not know that they are placing their own lives on the line as they enter into dangerous situations. All they know is that they are getting food after doing this task.
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
