Around the world there are Army’s like the one in this book, that do not care what they are shooting at or killing, even if it is a poor animal that has done nothing wrong. Lastly, people have many problems they will have to deal with throughout their life. In the book, Sophie’s mom leaves the sanctuary to go study Bonobos across town. While she is gone the Congo Army comes and kills the workers at the sanctuary but Sophie gets away with Otto. She has to take care of herself and the baby Bonobo.
The look in Jeffery Mills’ eyes once he had proudly admitted to raping and killing over twenty women was not of fear but the non-focused look of someone without a soul. People in the town of Hillbrow still retch at the thought of the crimes committed by creatures not worthy even to be called animals. We all live in times where we are sensitive to the evils of hunting. There are however, various circumstances in which hunting is necessary: One for culling purposes to save the animal kingdom from extinction and another one for eliminating from society dangerous beings who parade in human guise.
Punishment has taken many different forms throughout history. This essay looks at how punishment of offenders today has elements of Celtic and Roman approaches. According to Celtic philosophy of punishment, deterrence was used as a measure to prevent people from committing an offence as it is today. In Celtic times honour amongst the kinship was important and criminals were cast the lowest social status losing this honour and civil privilege. This loss of privilege still pertains to Britain today and although our prisons provide the incapacitation of offenders, social isolation in Celtic times had similar impact with loss of property, profession, religious rites and confinement to the tribal territory suffering their dishonour within their community.
They also have a very different philosophy. Yet they both hunt mercilessly and do not care how the huntee feels. General Zaroff and Rainsford are similar as well as different in many ways. Zaroff and Rainsford’s philosophy on the two classes of the world set them apart. As Rainsford said “The world is made up of two classes--the hunters and the huntees” (Connell 13).
The tiger could not control his hunger. He told to the fox and the deer that killing the pig to eat because the pig was stupid which could not help them anything. The deer and the fox agreed because they all were very hungry and they killed the pig. But the tiger could not stand with his hunger so long, he continued feel hungry on the next day. This time, he asked the Deer to kill the Fox because the deer had two horns that
In both Romulus and Dances with Wolves, land is central to belonging as people are products of their environment. In the harsh Australian country and Great Indian Plains, each character must learn to adapt and survive. When Raimond and his father Romulus migrate to Australia from Romania post World War II, they find themselves in “sheep-grazing country”, a completely different environment with different people unusual to them. “[Romulus] longed for European Society, saying that he felt like a ‘prisoner in Australia.’” (169). This comparison of European and Australian culture alerts the reader to the struggle that Romulus is having in belonging to this place, and this can be related to the fact that he spent so much time in Romania, and refuses to change his ways, “In his [Romulus’s] sighs I heard our isolation.” unlike Raimond who is able to accept the landscape and people for all the harsh aspects because he has been brought up here from the age of four years onwards.
Thomas runs away from the Mission School and returns to his mountain home. When he arrives he expects to find his brother the bear and the rest of his animal family, but instead he finds a “charred circle” (70) where his lodge used to be. Tom then “…stood among the ashes and whispered the sorrow chant…For small griefs you shout, but for the big griefs you whisper or say nothing. The big griefs must be borne alone, inside” (70.) He knows that it was Blue Elk who did it because there is not one item of worth left behind, not even the knife Tom’s mother gave him.
This is shown by the White authority ruling over the black community with injustice and inequality and treating them like animals. Despite prejudice towards indigenous aboriginals some were able to overcome their problems with resilience and fight for little victories that helped them in their own way. Racial prejudice to an individual can lead to unfairness in all kinds of ways.
He does not immediately kill the water buffalo, but instead shoots it in places he knows the animal will feel immense pain and sorrow. He would not stop shooting the buffalo all over its body; its legs, torso, face, everywhere. “The whole platoon stood there watching, feeling all kinds of things, but there wasn’t a great deal of pity for the baby water buffalo. Curt Lemon was dead. Rat Kiley had lost his best friend in the world...Nothing moved except [the buffalo’s] eyes, which were enormous, the pupils shiny
An out of control elephant was ravaging the bazaar. So he loads up his rifle, which he says is “too small to kill an elephant, but the noise might be useful for scaring him off” (Orwell, 1936) In my opinion, the right thing to do because I do not condone the killing of helpless animals, if the situation can be controlled. As soon as Orwell gets to the elephant, after some gruesome images of a coolie being trampled by the elephant, he has to make up his mind whether or not to shoot the elephant, which is minding its own business by now in a field a few yards away. Now as the natives and townspeople are following him, basically egging him on to shoot the elephant. Something he clearly does not want to do, he feels the pressures of looking like a fool versus not.
