When he was twelve years old, he made a bet with some boys in town that he could run five miles in thirty minutes. While his parents told him not to make bets he could not keep, he was determined to “…show both of them...and everyone else…that I’m a winner.” He ran the five miles in thirty minutes with twenty seconds to spare and won $2.00.

The first time he came with me to Soledad and I went to the butcher to buy him a bone. The bone wasn’t much, but damn if Gus didn’t chew that thing to hell. I remember the first time I had to shave his fur because it was gettin’ so crazy long it almost dragged on the floor. I remember the first time we herded sheep together. Gus was a damn good sheep herder, better than anythin’ I ever seen.
PA253 Legal Ethics | Unit 3 Assignment | | Monet Braud June 30, 2015 | In 2008, a man named Alton Logan was released from prison after serving 26 years in prison for the 1982 slaying of a security guard at a Chicago McDonald’s. That fact alone is shocking enough, but add to that, Alton Logan was innocent, and the statement becomes unbelievable. But even more unbelievable is that two lawyers, Dale Coventry and Jamie Kunz, knew who the real killer was and remained silent. In 1982, they watched while Logan was tried, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison. Dale Coventry and Jamie Kunz were the lawyers of the actual killer, Andrew Wilson.
They also tried to kill them by using traps and by hunting parties, but these attempts failed. Ernest Thompson Seton was offered $1,000 dollars in bounty money for capturing Lobo, the leader of the pack. Seton tried to kill him with 5 poisonous baits, but this attempt failed. The following day the baits were gone so Seton assumed Lobo was dead, but later that evening he found the baits. They were covered in evidence that Lobo was responsible for.

In 1975 Ted was arrested in Utah but was released due to the little evidence, Two years later was convicted of kidnapping and escaped. Ted Bundy killed three people in Florida and was arrested but his parents bailed him out and he sold his car but police impounded it away from new owner. It was then when forensic evidence finally solved this case by finding three different hairs matching the three victims killed in Ted’s car and matched his teeth marks the a bite mark on one of the victims. He was then was sentenced to three death penalties in 1978 when Ted was recaptured and on January 24, 1989 at Railford prison in Starke, Florida Ted Bundy was executed in the electric chair. My opinion on this case was interesting yet disgusting but Ted Bundy was smart about how he attracted his victims.
-Former FBI Special Agent Robert K. Ressler (1937–2013) is the man credited with coining the term “serial killer” in 1971 -Almost all serial killers admit that they started by acting out their fantasies on small animals before they moved to humans and that animal torture brought them a great source of pleasure. Given that most serial killers are from dysfunctional families, such pathological and abnormal behavior may be ignored. Jeffrey Dahmer’s father, for example, had no qualms that his son performed animal dissections. -Many serial killers will keep “souvenirs” of their crimes. For example, when Ted Bundy was asked why he took Polaroid’s of his victims, he said, “when you work hard to do something, you don’t want to forget it.” -There are six phases of the serial killer’s cycle: 1) the Aura Phase, where the serial killer begins losing a grip on reality; 2) the Trolling Phase, when the killer searches for a victim; 3) the Wooing Phase, where the killer lures his victim in; 4) the Capture Phase, where the victim is entrapped; 5) the Murder or Totem phase, which is the emotion high for the killer and, finally, 6) the Depression phase, which occurs after the killing.
Dogs can be trained to do things and cats cannot. According to Bradley Trevor Greive, a New York Times best selling author, “On September 11, 2001 many people died and thousands of lives were lost, but there were 17 People at ground zero that didn’t die because of the bravery of search and rescue dogs.” Nobody was saved by a cat on that terrible day. Dogs can be trained to do tricks and to not pee on the floor. When was the last time you seen a “cat show”? Dog shows have and will always be a form of entertainment for us as humans; they are fun to watch and very entertaining.
We tend to believe people who we respect. Lecturing is a soft approach for Gary Yourofsky who was arrested thirteen times for random acts of kindness and compassion and banned from five different countries from entering their borders. In 1997, Yourofsky liberated more than 1,500 soon-to-be-murdered minks from the Ebert’s Fur Farm in Blenheim, Ontario. We murder billions of animals each year, and that's what Yourofsky has dedicated his young life to fighting. Actually, he knows he can't do much to stop it but he intends to raise our consciousness.
