Eng 122 11/21/2013 Reigniting the Fierce Green Fire “We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in her eyes. I realized then, and have known ever since, that there was something new to me in those eyes – something known only to her and to the mountain. I was young then, and full of trigger-itch; I thought that because fewer wolves meant more deer, that no wolves would mean hunters’ paradise. But after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view.” – Aldo Leopold Hunting is one of the oldest activities (or traditions, if you prefer) that humans participate in. For as long as there have been humans, they have hunted animals as a source of food, clothing, tools,
Is Hunting Ethical and Moral Is hunting ethical and moral, or is it cruel and unnecessary? Hunting has been a way of life and a part of human survival for many thousands of years. As time passes and ways of life change, so does the ethicality of hunting. Our culture and society has changed in just the last hundred years. Instead of relying on the land to supply food for us, people can go to their local grocery store and buy pre packaged, ready to cook meat.
I agree with some of the historians she chooses. Like Calvin Martin, he said the Indians do a fur-trade because of the holy war of revenge they are doing. Hunting animals is sacred to Indians, so when they hunt, they do a ritual first to connect with the spirit of the animals. Even in my own culture, we didn’t hunt just for fun or sport. We hunt for food and resources.
The Impression of Cave Paintings I choose to draw a male deer with antlers because it something that is associated with nature. I feel that many people know what deer are and know that they have existed for many years. A deer means a lot to me. I have grown up in the outdoors and have spent a lot of time with friends and family hunting deer. To me it’s a past time, an adrenalin rush, as well as a way to put extra food on the table.
I agree with carter in that without a language animals are unable to form thought and reason, and thereby have no realization of there existence. I also believe in the eating of meat because of natural order, I believe that, because we are a superior race we possess the right to eat weaker animals to survive, just as the wolf eats the rabbit because the rabbit is the wolves natural prey. Although vegetarians may argue that because we are able to reason and discern that another organism is feeling pain, unlike the wolf, we have an obligation to our prey to not cause them pain. But I believe that while we may cause pain to another animal, it is the natural order, animals that are born as prey are preyed upon, whether or not they are born on a farm or in the wilderness doesn't change the fact that they are still able to satisfy a predators needs. Rachels and other vegetarians claim that
Between both articles I am able to firmly set my opinion on guns remaining a right. Both articles had a lot of information and it varied a lot between the different approaches, but for a topic like this I think that logic and information is better than just an opinion and some emotions. I am for having guns because it is a right given to us in the Constitution and it is a way to protect myself. I like shooting and I like when my dad gives me meat from the deer he shoots. There are a lot more pros than cons in this situation and Granderson was right: “There is no same shooting” and therefore there cannot be just one generalized solution to this issue.
He taught what plants were good to eat and warned her of the ones that were poisonous. While it was forbidden to enter the forest, this was the only way to hunt and gather. As she was hunting in the forest, Katniss met a boy who was doing the same task as her. Eventually, Gale and Katniss became best friends. They shared their kill, because Gale had a large family to fend for as well.
Inevitably, they form two rival groups: the Hunters, led by Jack (Tom Chapin) ensure meat for the others, preoccupied with immediate survival, doing so while enjoying the castaway life they are imposed. The other group is led by Ralph (James Aubrey), who build shelters and collect food, waiting to be rescued. This clearly illustrates the difference between civilization and savagery. For such a low budget film, this was quite a great effort on Brook’s part. It did not fail to capture the strong emotions and details of the novel.
The forgotten sport Since the beginning of time hunting has been a way of life. From the Indians to the pilgrims, hunting has slowly dissipated down to the few that participate today, like the dirt eroding from river banks, a little less everyday. Is hunting a good thing? Is there anything to be learned from hunting? Should I trust my kid to be involved in the sport of hunting?
David Tufts Nutrition 8/02/15 Dietary Preference I myself am one to eat meat with no issue. I love white or dark meat, grilled, fried, anyway you serve it to me I will not say no. The dietary plan I wanted to research was Veganism and its health benefits of becoming a vegan. It’s highly unlikely I will ever become a vegetarian or a vegan, however I do have friends who live a very vegetarian and vegan style of living. I wanted to research what exactly goes into being a vegan, the Do’s and Don’ts and how it affects our health in a positive outlook.
