Sullivan’s essay is one that depicts the world ending not in nuclear warfare or even by human hands whatsoever, but rather by the animal kingdom’s animosity towards human beings. He cites several instances of “far-out animal-attack stor[ies]”(Sullivan 1) that aren’t your typical “Species self-protection + everybody loving the outdoors = occasional kills”(Sullivan 1) stories, but rather the rare oddities of instances where normally docile or tamed animals are acting out aggressively towards human kind. Sullivan does not just list hoards of animal attack stories to convince you, he reaches out to the scientific community to reinforce his theory. Sullivan contacts Professor Marcus Livengood to add credibility to his argument, as well as more examples of this bizarre phenomenon. Except not.
You will soon realize that Elphaba is not as wicked as everyone thought she was. One of Elphaba’s passions is her relationship with the talking Animals of Oz. The Animals are capitalized with an “A” because they hold civil rights equal rights to humans. Dr. Dillamond is one of the Animals, a Goat professor with whom Elphaba grew very close. Her strong support as an activist for Animal rights speak out immediately when the message on the blackboard showed up, “Animals should be seen and not heard.” Another example to her supportive action is, when a baby Lion Cub is brought to class in a cage after Dillamond’s removal from the University.
Yet despite those terrible conditions, that kitten looked fine, and the puppies seem completely healthy. That’s because they are the lucky ones. They escaped. Along with thousands of others, they were chosen to be sold, so they got taken away, vaccinated, cleaned up, and fed proper food until they became ready for sale. Of course, back at the farm the unlucky ones would still be suffering.
(killerwhale.org) Furthermore, they have concluded that any scientific study of orcas would be best done in their natural habitat verse aquariums. 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.
With horror Rainsford realized that General Zaroff actually hunts humans. With this General Zaroff forces Rainsford to be hunted by him. The Most Dangerous Game is a good piece of literature. Countless elements that create a story are used by the author. Examples of personification are, “He struggled up to the surface and tried to cry out, but the wash from the speeding yacht slapped him in the face.” "Well done, your Burmese tiger trap claimed one of my best dogs!
The book Chimpanzee Politics is a book based on thousands of hours of observations of a chimpanzee colony in the Arnhem Zoo in the Netherlands where a doctor named Frans De Wall studied them. The story is all about obtaining power through different ways and the means in which the chimpanzees attempt to keep it. They use alliances and they have enemies, and will almost always do anything that is necessary to keep what they love. In this essay I will discuss the roles that power plays on influencing the actions, responses, and lifestyles that the chimpanzees express in their controlled environment they call home. In Chimpanzee Politics, the alpha males will often form alliances with other males and females that play influential roles in the colony of chimpanzees.
The resulting anxiety and tension cause fights between orcas. In the wild, orcas have strong social bonds that may last for life, their social rules prohibit serious violence against each other, and when fights do occur, they can find space to flee. In captivity, there's nowhere for them to go, which leads to injuries and death.” (SeaWorld of Hurt) Besides fighting with fellow killer whales, Orcas are biting the bars, concrete and tanks to escape due to stress and anxiety. The diet of a whale in captivity is unlike the diet of a whale in the wild. PETA’s campaign SeaWorld of Hurt shares, “In captivity, orcas are unable to hunt and obtain water from their prey, so SeaWorld gives them gelatin, a substance that is not natural for them, in an attempt to keep them hydrated.
It scurries around to hide from us, lurks around us only to rid itself from cold and consume our unconsumed. Yet, I find a lion to be majestic and a mouse to be a menace. I can never fear an animal as I fear the mouse.
But as time passes, the Acts that were passed started to be like a battleground for those animals. Both of these articles’ main purpose was to inform the audience about what is happening to animals, and how they are becoming endangered. In Kaufman’s article Date Night at the Zoo, if Rare Species Play Along it seems to be more directed to veterinarians or anyone who works with wild animals. It gives many facts about what is happening to animals, and why they are slowly becoming instinct, and what they should do about it. The article was also written very formal.
Some believe animals are an unintelligent species and are just savage creature trying to live in this world. In the essay written by Bass, he describes how the hunters and the animals imagine their prey’s movements. This is giving animals the intelligence to think and react to another animal’s movements. This means Bass believes animals are creatures with the ability to think.
