Furthermore, Suzuki effectively discusses the quality of life for the animals being tested, and the depressing and deprived realities that these helpless animals survive. Suzuki makes valid points throughout his article including his statement, “What gives us the right to exploit other living organisms as we see fit? How do we know that these other creatures do not feel pain or anguish just as we do?”(p.91). Suzuki utilizes pathos to strengthen his argument and attempts to shape the opinion of the public. Is it intelligence that determines the animal’s self-worth and right to live, or is it that animals may possess the same if not identical Neuroanatomy of humans?
Therefore, animals don’t necessarily want o kill the potential threat but instead for them to back down or submit only using physical force when necessary. Lorenz a famous ethologist who wrote a book on aggression stressed the similarity of animals and humans in terms of behaviour. Lorenz believes there were four main processes these were: reproduction, hunger, aggression and fear. And that aggression occurred within rather than between species, for Lorenz the functions were to ensure that only the fittest/strongest survived so that females could be selected to mate with so that offspring had the best chance of survival. Protection of offspring directly so that they could survive, and to distribute a species in a balanced way so that each have some sort of territory.
Ethical treatment of animals SOC120: Introduction to Ethics & Social Responsibility In this essay I will discuss what the ethical treatment of animals is. I will go into the history of where it began and touch base on animal welfare and animal rights that are in place today as a result of the efforts made by concerned organizations. When I was growing up I really enjoyed class field trips to the zoo and petting farms. As a child I didn’t realize what unethical treatment of animals really was. My understanding was that we were not supposed to be mean to animals.
Gaddis claims that not explaining clearly the distinction between rational and accidental causes is the more serious problem with Carr. Gaddis says in his book that there are three alternative views on causation. The first connecting cause is between the immediate, intermediate and the distant. The second connecting cause is between the exceptional and the general. While the third connecting cause is between the factual and the counterfactual, which Gaddis explains all three.
We will compare and contrast the different scenarios and information of all three sources to make up our own analysis of reality and knowledge. The similarities in these three scenarios are obvious. Descartes, in the Meditation on First Philosophy, 1641 and Neo, in The Matrix, started feeling skeptical about life, questioning life itself. They faced doubts about the reality of what they were seeing, skeptical of the reliability of their senses.

Hell in Kennels: Issues in Southern Oregon Animal Shelter Practices and Funding Veronica E. Watt Rogue Community College Hell In Kennels: Issues in Southern Oregon Animal Shelter Practices and Funding “‘People wonder whether animals love one another. If you define love as an enduring, long-term bond in which creatures travel together, consort together, whine when alone, seek one another out,’ engage in various kinds of ‘voluntary, cooperative behavior,’ and refrain from harsh treatment such as by ‘not biting as hard as they could,’ then ‘if you say that humans can love one another, you can say that about animals, too.’” - (Mark Bekoff in Clemmitt, 2010) The above quote, by a professor emeritus of ecology and evolutionary biology at the

Multiple factors would affect their behaviors and many concerns have been brought to peoples attention about the effects orcas face by leaving the wild. One concern for orcas that are born in the wild then taken into captivity is that they live in pods, and their families operate much as if a human family would, with strong attachments and emotions. Tearing these creatures away from their family members has much to do with the psychological effect on them. Several incidents have been reported over the past years that make people question the continued captivity of orcas.
Page 18 of Brothers and Keepers states, “Even as I manufacture fiction from the events of my brother’s life, from the history of the family that had nurtured us bothm I knew something of a different order remained to be extricated. The fiction writer was also a man with a real brother behind real bars. I continued to feel caged by my bewilderment, by my inability to see clearly, accurately, not only the last visit with my brother but the whole long skein of our lives together and apart.” Therefore since Wideman was accustomed to embellishment in his novels, he found himself fixing his errors. “This attempt to break out, to knock down the walls.” This passage shows the severity of how difficult it was for him to alter his ways. However, the importance of publicizing his brother’s tale was greater and succeeded that of his writing
Change is an incredibly complex concept and can be depicted in a variety of ways through various mediums. In the three texts studied in class, my understanding of change has significantly changed due to the various language techniques used by all three composers to convey their ideas about change. We see that change can be a regretful experienced in the poem My Brother by Bruce Dawe, A song composed by Joni Mitchell Big Yellow Taxi illustrated that change is inevitable, and change is depicted on a very personal level in the prose extract by Hannah Roberts Sky High.

My Brother by Bruce Dawe is a very powerful and meaningful poem which has used various language techniques to shape my understanding of change.
