According to jim menster a private breeder of wolves in moscow idaoho, he states wolves have the similar characteristics as dogs and as soon as we learn to get over our fear of wolves we can all learn to appreciate this animal. Many wolves are beeing bred and tried to be introduced to the wild all though once a wolf is domesticated it is very rare for them to be able to survive on their own. Wolves make good pets and are able to function with humans. They have been applied to the sport of doggsledding as recent as the 1950s. Wolves are a crazy animal with a nack for survival.
Pit Bulls were first bred to bait bulls and bears as a sport back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but soon became more commonly used as house pets due to their friendliness towards people (Brom, 1987-09, p.14). This indeed should open up society’s eyes to Pit Bulls not being an aggressive breed simply because they became more commonly used as pets, and they once represented The United States of America by serving in wars. Many of us base our opinions on what we hear in the media; we hear that Pit Bulls are overly aggressive, prone to biting, and in general should be banned as a breed. The court cases are squarely to blame for this breeds misconception of being a terror. The highest court in Maryland has held that all pit bull and cross-bred pit bull dogs are "inherently dangerous" as a matter of law and imposed strict liability on all persons who own, harbor, or control such dogs if they know or
Make that decision based on the facts. Unfortunately, most dogs are in shelters because people did not put any thought into their new pet. Doing your research can save more than your sanity in the long run, it could save the life of a dog. Most shelters can only keep dogs for a short period of time before they are euthanized, because of the high numbers of pets in these shelters. This is just the beginning of the research you should be doing before deciding on your new pet.
Not just of the breeding dogs in the farm but most of their puppies as well. As cute as the puppy in the pet shop may seem you should always buy from a proper breeder or an animal shelter this way you will know that you are not contributing towards puppy mills and killing innocent dogs. This is one dog that was lucky enough to be saved from a puppy mill. If the dogs are not rescued and given another home from the animal shelter they will be put down and the owner of the puppy mills get away with murder. Not just of the breeding dogs in the farm but most of their puppies as well.
Why? I am interested in wolves and would like to know what the world is like from a wolf’s perspective. I would also like to know some things about the kind of people who do this type of work. How they capture and treat the wolves. How do they take care of them before they return to the wild?
Adopt, Save a Life A Puppy Mill is a private home or farm where dogs are bred repeatedly until their poor bodies can no longer take the exhausting toll and are put to sleep when they can't possibly live through another litter of puppies. Most of those cute puppies you see at a pet store come from one of these horrible places. Puppy mill breeders do not care about the health of their dogs, the puppies are just a cash crop to them. If more people were educated, and new the facts about puppy mills, and buying from a pet store, maybe we could change the awful statistics together. The solution to this problem is adopting from a shelter or rescue.
‘As if,’ said Simon, ‘the beastie, the beastie or the snake-thing, was real. Remember?’” (Golding 19) The previous quotation represents that Ralph wants to build shelters, because he knows that the kids are afraid—but all Jack wants to do is hunt. Would that have helped? We know that the boys themselves are the beast, but the boys don't. Maybe building huts would have helped them feel safe enough to keep Simon
Nature is cruel but we don’t have to be. I wouldn’t want to have my guts ripped out by a lion. I'd much rather die in a slaughter house if it were done right," (Jackson, 2010).Although her ideas at first were hesitated upon and turned away, the owners of cattle plants quickly realized that thanks to Grandin's design the cattle hesitated less, and therefore plant efficiency improved. Grandin redesigned other elements in slaughterhouses, based on other findings from her research: cattle resist being led from bright sunlight into a darkened room, for example, do not like the color yellow, and are upset by clanking metal sounds (Temple Grandin Biography,
The Puppy Mill Plague The breeding and living conditions in puppy mills are ethically wrong, and stronger legislation is needed to ensure the protection of dogs that are being bred and raised for human companionship. Dogs are bred at a greater frequency than they naturally should be, which creates health problems for both the mothers and their offspring. Housing conditions at puppy mills are almost unilaterally overcrowded, and dogs may live outdoors entirely exposed to the elements. Dogs that come from puppy mills often experience social problems. Because of the cruelty that prevails at puppy mills across the country, animal rights groups work diligently to promote new legislation the ban inhumane practices at puppy mills.
The Growling, howling, and snarling sounds that haunted my dreams as a child are still the sounds I think of when the conversation turns to wolves. The growling, howling, and snarling I’m referring to isn’t coming from wolves but the people fighting for and against the repopulation of the species. So what’s the truth about wolf reintroduction? Why is there such a heated debate? One side of the argument states they were hunted to the brink of extinction for a reason, the other side praising this majestic animal for its ability to live and thrive in the face of such adversity.
