People have always said that I remind them of a stock broker. The more stock (animals) the broker I become. After 16 years I think I found out why, walking into the barn at 7 a.m. to feed and take care of all my animals. Hearing the big ewe lambs screaming for food, the noisy pigs going crazy fighting with each other to get into the self feeder, and of course the crazy goats climbing along the fences screaming for food.

He talks about the miserable way animals live, the way they are enslaved

In the first chapter of Orwell’s Animal Farm, Mr. Jones, owner of the Manor Farm, goes to bed drunkenly after he forgets to completely lock the farm buildings. With the exception of Moses, Mr. Jones’s “spy” raven, all the animals in the farm congregate in the big barn to hear a speech from Old Major, a wise and respected boar. Because Old Major feels he will die soon, he seeks to impart the wisdom he has acquired over his lifetime to the other farm animals. Old Major talks about the terrible lives

Do you have any pets? Do you hate when your animals goes through pain? This essay is about why animal Testing should be illegal and should be banned but others think that it should not be banned.

The farmer neglects animals not feed them , they put out for food and there's a fight on the farm. The animals win, but Old Major dies before and can not see the triumph of the animals. Pigs learn to read and write and change the sign of the Jones Farm Animal Farm . On the wall they write seven rules that invented the Old Major, and are their " seven commandments " The animals are happy , they feel free from the yoke of the farmer. They work more because they are happy and have a great harvest. Pigs

A Cat Is Not a Can of Soup Have you been thinking of getting a pet? Wait a minute before you rush down to a pet shop. Adopting a pet from the Ferndale Shelter is often a wiser move than buying one. However, many families hesitate to visit the shelter because they aren 't aware of its advantages or have mistaken ideas about what they will find there. To begin with, you may believe that you 're more likely to find a healthy, well-adjusted dog or cat at a pet shop. From what I have seen here
