The Giraffe Project Case Study

Many animals throughout the world that go homeless, yet many more die in animal shelters because these facilities become overwhelmed. Humans buy animals from animal shelters and then return them within a matter of time, because they no longer want to take on the responsibility of taking care of them. Most animal shelters have a policy that if the workers can not find a home for the animals within 72 hours from the time they are brought in, they have to euthanize them, or “put them down” (Akita Rescue Mid Atlantic Coast 26-27). Unless the shelters have enough space, or the animal is a breed that a lot of people desire, the end result is to usually put down the animal. Every year, a total of nearly 7.6

Jerry Foster is a TV helicopter pilot. He gets paid to find news stories, but what he actually does makes him worthy of the Giraffe Award. Jerry loves to save lives. Saving lives is clearly an act of caring. He is paid to find stories but he goes above and beyond by saving lives. Sometimes when he is saving people he forgets to capture the story on film, which puts him at financial risk, because he could get fired. When he saves people he heals them. Jerry Foster meets all the criteria of the Giraffe Award which is why he deserves the award.

Every year there is a winner chosen for the Giraffe Award. The Giraffe project was created from a small foundation in Washington State. It is given as a reward to those who meet the criteria of bringing others together in a healing manner, taking some type of a physical, financial, or social risk, “rocking the boat” to make things better, caring for others, and going above and beyond their job description.

As a proud Wildcat, I was involved in a myriad of activities. In my local Key Club, I donated over 300 hours of my time to activities such as cancer fundraisers, senior citizen happiness, help to local police and fire departments, set-up classrooms and help teachers throughout the year. As I moved up the leadership ladder as President, I was able to create events specially designated towards improving the community, then as International Key Club Texas-Oklahoma Treasurer I shared, organized and was able to communicate with over 300 club’s budgets and dues to create more service opportunities dedicated to helping local causes. In my local girl scout troop as an ambassador, I found that many young girl orphans located in southern India did not

Community Trust Bank Bell Co Market President, Tim Helton presents a $5000 check to David Ledford, President/CEO of the Appalachian Wildlife Foundation.

Found within the Himalayan and African landscapes, lived one of the world’s unique mammals. Recent investigation of an ancient giraffe species, Sivatherium giganteum proves that the extinct mammal may have been the world’s largest ruminant (animal able to gain nutrients from plant material) mammal to ever exist.

Mandy had excellent control over her professional life; she was a teacher, an astounding teacher from what Daniel Robinson, a former student, says when he is changing her locks, stating that she was his “all-time favorite teacher” . Brooks had a job and did her job well, except somewhere along the way she failed her daughter; Robinson made it seem as if she noticed all her students and made sure they were all learning and growing as individuals, yet she let her daughter slip through her fingers. After her husband passed away is when it seems as if Mandy’s life started to crumble. It is solely her responsibility to raise her daughter, and yet she fails, similar to the mother had in “I Stand Here Ironing.” Both of these mothers lost control over their lives and their daughters; however the mother in “I Stand Here Ironing” did everything in her power to regain control, and by the close she had. Mandy Brooks decided to ignore the fact that her control was slipping until it was too late. And the only way she could obtain a fraction of control was to lock her daughter out. Mothers are supposed to support their children in times of need and help them grow as individuals, yet Mandy never tried to help her daughter overcome her drug addiction. She paid no attention to it until her daughter nearly burned the house down, then after started to wonder

Giraffes’ habitat is mostly savannas in Africa. They live between Chad and South Africa. Giraffes are social and peaceful; they do not have special territories and it is rare to find them in a fight. When in groups giraffes, are called towers. Towers roughly have between 12-15 giraffes. Towers are usually run by the older/oldest male.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency’s Wild Hog Program is leading transformational change across the country. Most states dealing with wild hogs and the damage they cause are hopeless. Their hopelessness is due to wild hogs being such prolific breeders and regulatory environments in states don’t allow for successful control or elimination of this exotic and destructive species. Thankfully, Tennessee is an exception and TWRA’s management of this species is being used as a model by other states to base their management on. Thus, there is now newfound hope of controlling these problems in most of the United States.

The process of memorizing a Russian folk tale involves a great deal of ingenuity. To begin, I chose this tale purely on the title. Russian tales in the Afanas'ev collection tend to have interesting names which do not disappoint. So I flipped through the tale and found it to be rather entertaining and memorable tale. The amount of comedy struck me and I used it to, “dominate the story [and] keep it in mind as [I] tell the story” (The Giraffe Project). Unfortunately, the theme is somewhat murky, and the plot jumps around. However, keeping the tale rooted in comedy ties the tale together, regardless of the questionable plot. Personally, I prefer somewhat irreverent works, and this tale is no exception. The lack of care towards subjects like thievery,

Yonette Joseph, the author of this article, explaining how a villager in Kenya was herding his or her animals and noticed that there was a white giraffe with a pale baby giraffe as well. Conservationists hurried to the site and were able to capture almost twenty minutes of both giraffes. One thing a conservationist noticed is that these giraffes are very calm and seemed to not be disturbed by their presence. The only sign they noticed was that the mother giraffe kept pacing back and forward to signal to the baby giraffe to hide. These white giraffes display a genetic condition known to be leucism. Leucism inhibits pigmentation in skin cells and happens in several different animals, such as birds, fish, hippos, moose, snakes, and lions. This

Giraffes some time battle one another by hitting their head or neck together. Most giraffes come from South America or Africa(2). “A female and male giraffe's scientific name is giraffa camelopardalis ”(2). The giraffes are interesting because of it appearance, diet and reproduction.
