By far, the most common breeds focused upon are the pit bull type breeds. BSL relies on the premise that all dogs of a certain breed are vicious by their very nature. BSL might require an additional registration fee for certain breeds of dogs, requires the dogs to be muzzled in public, or completely forbids the keeping of those dogs. Breed-specific legislation applies only to dogs of a certain appearance, not to any and all dogs. It does not take into account how the owner has raised, trained, or managed the dog.
A characteristic that Macbeth and Napoleon do not share is the support system. Napoleon has group of pigs that support and are very useful to him. Macbeth however does not use support system and does everything by himself. Napoleon uses his dogs to strike fear into the animals, "no one dared speak their mind, with fierce growling dogs"(Orwell pg.52)Also Napoleon uses squealer who has great power with words as he can " turn black into white"(Orwell pg.6) and he uses his talent to manipulate the animals and gain support. Eventually napoleon builds a very large support group and rarely appeared in public.
We are either scared of the unknown (e.g death) or something more powerful than ourselves (e.g lions). For God, there should be no unknown because he knows everything there is to know. For example, he cannot fear the consequences because he knows exactly what will happen. Even if He does know the consequences, God could only be scared of something more powerful than him, otherwise he would know that he could overpower it. The problem with this is there shouldn’t be anything more powerful than God because he is omnipotent.
It would have been unthinkable for them not to own slaves. But I can't imagine Aristotle upholding slavery on principle. Through his lectures and writings on ethics and morals, Aristotle was constantly trying to persuade men that it is to their own benefit to live a virtuous life and to allow the next fellow to do likewise. At the same time, he had no illusions about the nature of man, expressed very directly in this statement: For man, when perfected, is the best of animals, but, when separated from law and justice, he is the worst of all; since armed injustice is the more dangerous, and he is equipped at birth with arms,
Because people don't care about anything but economic development, they overlook animal rights[,]” to emphasize his own theory by this form of hyperbole. However, he is actually committing an error in inductive logic. He repents his experiences in “[eating] dog meat,” but does not mention anything about eating beef or pork. This argumentative strategy seems contradicting to me because I think if animals indeed have rights, all animals should share the same right. In other words, when Chu suggests that eating dog meat is wrong, he should also consider whether it is ethical to eat beef or port.
Ben Forsberg Period 6 02/21/15 The Good of Man Human kind, as we know it, is the highest of the animal kingdom. Because we’re the smartest, we’re the most intuitive, and we’re the most ingenious of problem solvers. So, why on earth are we often referred to as the lowest of animals, or the cruelest organisms? We may seem that way at times, but it’s because we can recognize our flaws that sets us apart. Monkeys, dolphins, mice, cats, and all other animals have no moral compass or purpose.
Because it does not appear to be a primary issue, the state commission has limited patrol over this problem. This is an issue because it allows the racing industry to continue growing without ceasing it. The moral issues with this are the treatment of the greyhound dogs. They are kept in confined kennels with limited resources for up to 16 hours per day. Also, in order to be successful in this sport, you need to have the fastest dog.
Disproving Stereotypes Many people believe pit-bulls are violent, unsafe dogs. There have been numerous articles proving that but the TV show, Pit-bulls and Parolees, disproves that. Tia, the owner of the rescue, takes in all pit-bulls with or without a fighting background and rehabilitates them. The pit-bulls turn out to be friendly, loving, and safe dogs to be around. Similarly, Chinua Achebe, author of Things Fall Apart, disproves stereotypes.
It is too bad that William Blake did not have the National Geographic channel. If he had, he would know that the Tiger is no more evil than any other member near the top of the food chain. It kills slower animal because that is the circle of life. There is no hidden, spiritual agenda. In his poem, The Tyger, Blake poses the question of who created the fearsome beast.
Studies conducted in Australia have shown that pit bull terriers are not the most abundant dog involved in dog attacks. Over a twenty year period, German shepherds, Australian cattle dogs and Rottweilers have outnumbered the pit bull terrier in terms of number of dog attacks in Australia. Why aren't these three breeds considered 'dangerous' as well? As this method of addressing the problem targets pit bull terriers only, it gives the public a false sense of security, and so people will be less cautious when around other potentially dangerous canines. Banning of the pit bull terrier is unnecessary, discriminating and will not solve the issue of dog attacks in
