The New Pig
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. I do think that guinea pigs are cute. They squeak , they chirp, and when they walk, it is more of a waddle. But neither my mother nor father want me to get a guinea pig. They think that I will not take care of it. They think that I will let it starve. They think that I will let it go thirsty because I will forget to give it water. But I think that I will be responsible enough. I took care of a Beta fish ( a Japanese fighting fish ) for 3 years without it dying. I changed it’s water in the bowl twice a week every week for

Then I begged my mom and dad for a guinea pig for a long time. And after a long time of begging and telling them how responsible I was, my mom and dad finally broke down. They said, “ Fine, you can have a guinea pig, but you have to agree to take care of it.” “ Yes!” , I shouted. So my mom took me to the pet store to get the guinea pig a cage. We went to a pet store that was closing, so everything was ½ off . We got a large blue cage with a wire top, a wooden house, a metal food bowl, and a bunch of toys. Then the day after that we went to a different pet store to get the guinea pig. I ended up choosing a male, baby guinea pig. Sometimes to the this day my guinea pig will bite me and not want to come out. Plus when we would actually get him out, he would just sit there. To get him to do anything we would have to lure him with lettuce or carrots.
But now my guinea pig is a little less lazy. He’ll walk around on my floor now, and he will run around in the kitchen. He is crazy for carrots. Or any other type of
cage up. He rips his newspaper to shreds. For instance, he rips it up, eats it or throws it out of his cage. He also throws his water bowl. When he does this, he gets his cage all wet and he even gets himself all wet. Then, he gets all upset and starts making noises. He throws his litter box too. When he does this, his manure goes everywhere. The worst part is that we have to clean his cage after he makes a mess! Not only does he
During post-Soviet Czechoslovakia, people strove for control over their lives but rarely achieved it. In The Guinea Pigs by Ludvik Vaculik, Vasek Sr. tries to make a life for himself and his family. He has high hopes for them, and he thinks that they have a happy and prosperous life. However, a combination of circumstance and insufficient pay prevent him from doing things that he wants. As the novel progresses, the narrator feels like he has less and less control over his life until he tries to seize back control and ultimately fails. Vasek has so little control over his job at the bank that he buys guinea pigs in order to have something he can control. Despite the fact that he loves his family, Vasek’s lack of control in his job, leads to suffering for his family and his ultimate death.
Be the voice for the voiceless. Unfortunately, people are not the only ones who face many different stereotypes and discriminations throughout their lives; animals such as, pit bulls face similar struggles. Pit bulls that are often perceived to be “dangerous” animals happen to be misunderstood and stereotyped against the most. Therefore, I believe pit bulls should not be banned in some communities because a pit bull’s behavior depends on the owner, pit bulls are just like any other dog breed and they can be very protective and loving to others.
Do you have a pit bull? Well, some people think that pit bulls should be banned from the United States. They think that pit bulls are too dangerous to have around. But, other breeds of dogs are dangerous too. Also, they used to be a very respected breed, and a symbol of American pride. Pit bulls helped in the World War I, fighting and protecting. People should be allowed to have pit bulls as pets.
Do you think pit bulls should be allowed as pets?Do you think pit bulls are deadly animals? Are you frightened when near one? After reading this essay I hope I can diminish your fear of pit bulls, or the thought of them being dangerous animals. They really aren't dangerous animals when you don’t annoy them.
The following is facts and opinions to give you my reasonings as to why these animals; that we call ‘’pit bulls’’should not be used as pets.
Have you ever thought what the world would be like if there were no pit bulls? It would be a safe environment. I am against pit bulls being allowed as pets and the law should make them illegal. Pit bulls can be dangerous and harmful to humans. So, think about the next time you are going to choose a pet for your home.
"Aww what a cute Pitbull!" Pitbull's has been a famous species for years. May some people think that the Pitbull's are terrible.
While going through a rough patch in my life, I knew that I need to get back to my roots so I decided to enroll in the agriculture program in high school. After about two weeks I certainly wanted to show an animal, so I asked my mother if I could, at that point she asked me what I wanted to show. I told her I wanted to show a pig. Of course she did not want me to show a pig, which she was afraid she was going to end up having to raise. After begging and pleading, even promising that I would do extra chores, I won. We started looking at different breeds of pigs. My mother, on the other hand thought all pigs were pink. I really wanted a Hereford, but we couldn’t find any breeders that were even close to Oklahoma, so I settled for a Hampshire.
I of course suggested that we should get a hamster just like Gabby got Willow. My dad just said that he would consider it, however the days turned into weeks and the weeks to months, but still no answer. After bringing it back up, he finally broke down and agreed that I could get a hamster. I was so overjoyed that I broke into my happy dance. Yes, it did look really atrocious, but at the time, I didn’t care.
Feral pigs first originated entirely from domestic stock brought to North America by early European explorers (Wild Pig Info, 2013). They are undesirable for our ecosystems because they destroy habitat, and young wildlife. The digging behaviour of feral pigs ploughs up vegetation and destroys ecosystems. This leaving those areas to reduced water quality, damage to agricultural crops, and soil erosion (Feral Pig Problems, 2015). Feral pigs are also undesirable for humans because they are known to carry diseases such as Swine brucellosis and pseudorabies (Feral Hog Control,
Then, I got my guinea pig she has white fur with a black ear and a pink ear, and a black face with a white stripe through the middle of her face, she also had a big brown spot on her butt. After we when't to drive home my mom got a phone call, she said it was from Gramma, she wanted to see my guinea pig. When we arrived at my gamma's house I took my guinea pig out of her box she was put in and held her flat to my chest. (I rember the pet store person said she liked to be held flat) When my cousin Bailee came to see, she thought she was cute, but Brooklynn my other cousin was very interested in my guinea pig and wanted to play with her but Brooklynn was only 6 months old so she couldn't. Next, I had to go home to my mom's house so I put the guinea pig back in her box to go, but before I left my Gramma asked what I would name her I said I would name her Page. When we came to a stop at my mom's house, my mom started putting together Page's cage, my brother Julian helped of course. After the cage was done, I put the things I bought and put them in the cage a pink igloo, some food and hay, a bed and some water in a water bottle. I put them all in the black cage. Before that I had to put in bedding it was white at the time, but when we needed more I got gray bedding. I put Page in

Have you ever wondered what is a pigs predator? Well in some states or countries is a hawk,coyotes and many more can be predators to a pig . Pigs also eat other animals just like omnivores like us in the wild. Because if a stay home pig eats your dog that won't be very nice or very happy so only the pigs that live in the wild eat other animals. But they only eat small little animals. And if one type of pig leaves their ecosystems then that ecosystem can be bad because there can be too much of whatever it is and if that pig enters another ecosystem, then that ecosystems can be endangered because the pigs can eat what the other animals eats and those animals can starve. A pig’s snout is very important because it helps the pig can sniff out food
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
