Gray whale

and Doing Ethics 29 November 2015 Gerard Gorman–WCA4 Case #1, page 60: The Gray Whale versus the Makah Tribe, their decision to hunt the whale to instill pride in the traditions of its culture to younger generations, and the environmental impact of this action upon the sustainability of the gray whale population. The parties involved in this matter are the members of the tribe, both for and against the decision, the whales, the environmentalists, the courts that will settle the lawsuits and future

being a significant part of their culture. They have depended on whales for food, clothing and other handicrafts. Whaling was key to survival and the Natives have honored the sacrifice of each whale through spiritual rituals and ceremonies. It gives them a purpose and discipline which benefits their whole community. This has not been a problem for many centuries, only recently have animal activists been trying to stop the hunting of whales. The Makah people have been the main subjects to the opposition

of gray whales, I believe that the waiver by the Makah peoples should be approved. I agree with the Makah Tribe’s position that their treaty rights, granted to them in the Treaty of Neah Bay (1855), should take precedence over more recently enacted legislation by the United States. Although the treaty

order Cetacean is further divided in two types known as the Odontoceti, or toothed whales, and the Mysticeti, or baleen whales” (Cadelinia 5). The bottlenose dolphin falls into many categories. According to San Francisco State University of Department of Geography “the bottlenose dolphin falls into the oceanic family, which is comprised of thirty-four species. It has been concluded that dolphins, porpoises, and whales evolved from Mesonychilds, a group of land-loving carnivores. They have been estimated

that can be found exclusively in the Yangtze River. It is one of six species of porpoise and belongs to the group Cetacea, which includes all species of whales, dolphins and porpoises that are split two subgroups, the toothed whale and baleen whale mainly based on the difference between feeding styles. This porpoise falls under the toothed whale group because it feeds with

Amazon River dolphins, like all dolphins, are cetaceans, a specific type of mammal (Odell 354). Some subspecies of the Amazon River dolphin include the Bolivian and Araguaian River dolphin. Another name for the dolphin is the Pink River Dolphin (Amazon River Dolphin). Amazon River dolphins weigh two hundred twenty pounds to three hundred fifty pounds (Carruthers). Males grow up to eight feet and females are not that much smaller, growing up to about seven and a half feet long. Amazon River dolphins

Marine mammals: Marine mammals are basically aquatic mammals that live in oceans.Some examples of them are seals,whales,manatees,sea otters and polar bears.All mammals are warm blooded,have hair or fur,breathe air through their lungs,and nurse their young with milk produced by mammals.They store extra oxygen in their muscles and blood.They even have more blood than land mammals in proportion of their body size. Marine mammals also can slow down their heartbeat by directing their blood to their

Roentgen (Schoepf 2005). Absorbed dose The absorbed dose is the energy (joules) deposited by ionising radiation per unit mass of material in kilograms, as a result of exposure to ionising radiation. The absorbed dose is therefore measured in J/kg or gray (Gy) where 1Gy = 1J/kg. The absorbed dose is calculated by multiplying exposure with W, where W is the conversion factor from exposure to absorbed dose depending on the absorbing medium (Siegel 2008). Equivalent dose The absorbed dose is a poor indicator

Introduction Currently, in the United Kingdom breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women and early diagnosis is the key to reducing mortality rates (Skaane et al, 2007). The National Health Service breast screening programme introduced digital mammography as the preferred option due to its increased sensitivity and specificity for denser breasts. Additionally, it has the ability to manipulate the images produced (NHSBSP, 2012). The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship

Akhal Teke vs. Shire Did you know that the average lifespan of a horse could range from 20-45 years? Horses have been domesticated in Eurasia since 4000 BC and were believed to be domesticated across the world by 3000 BC. They have evolved from a small, multi-toed animal called Eohippus into what they are today. In this essay, I will be showing you how two different breeds of horses, the Akhal Teke and shire, and how they can be so different although they are both horses. The differences and similarities
