A puppy mill is “a large-scale commercial dog breeding operation where profit is given priority over the well-being of the dogs” (ASPCA). Replacing the term “puppy mill” with the phrase “torture chamber” may give a better insight to what they are really about. The main goal of puppy mills are to mass-produce as many puppies as possible to make a profit from. One may also describe these places as “the rude, ugly, hateful cousin of the companion-pet world. The cousin who runs the risk of tarnishing the reputation of every member of the family, even the well-meaning ones.
BSL was made to try to regulate specific breeds of dogs. Usually, BSL targets breeds that are thought of as dangerous breeds. Proponents of BSL claim that BSL is a great way to reduce the threatening pit bull breed (www.animallaw.info, 2007). People who support BSL usually have imagined pit bulls as vicious dogs bred just to fight. BSL is slowly being seen as ineffective laws because leaders of communities are being educated more about pit bulls.
Many have a high prey drive and may be excessively playful, especially as puppies. Chevy can be destructive, and any dog can when they’re puppies! Chevy needs stimulation. I can buy him a tennis ball and twenty minutes later he will have destroyed it. He knows not to damage any furniture or personal items, but he can’t seem to stay away from the trash.
Pit bulls were imported to America from England in the 1870’s primarily, but not exclusively, for pit fighting. Over the years dog fighting has become a huge issue in the united states and many individuals frown upon it nowadays; because Pit bulls were the number one dogs used for dog fighting, many people believe that this particular breed is the most dangerous of all breeds. In this proposal we are going to focus on the history/misconceptions of Pit bulls, and how we can lessen the fear in people and ourselves when it comes to this particular breed. From the very start Pit bulls never really had the chance to defend themselves. When brought up in the world they were taught to become baiting dogs.
Me and my best friend use to go fishing with her dad all the time the only bad thing about it was that we would get ticks. They also had their own weapons for fighting and hunting, they made snare traps to capture bears, and deer by bending over small trees. They used bows and arrows, lances, war clubs, knives and tomahawks for fighting. Americans also like to hunt deer, bear, duck, and turkey. When I was growing up my best friend’s dad used to go hunting every season and bring
The average Florida Panther needs about three thousand calories per day to keep them going. Pregnant females need about eight thousand calories and growing kittens need about twenty thousand calories per day to survive. They tend to eat larger animals, such as deer and wild pigs, but also eat raccoons, armadillos, rabbits, and other smaller game. They are not all carnivorous though, they will occasionally eat some plants. At night, when this remarkable animal is wide awake, they travel in zig-zag patterns while they hunt and defend their territory.

Michelle Buchanan Dr. Melinda McBee English 1301.004 13 April 2010 Buchanan, Michelle L. “Special Kind of Dogs.” Abstract With previous experience I have come to find myself very close to pit bulls. I have a special place in my heart for all these dogs because they don’t get treated right or they get raised to think that fighting is the key. Pit bulls may seem like mean dogs, but it is all in how you raise them. These dogs only show what they have been taught and if they have been taught to fight then they will fight. If you teach them that all people are nice and you teach them to be nice, then you will have a really well mannered dog.
Labs are so smart that they are often used in competitions such as hunting, agility and obedience. Labrador Retrievers are great family pets. The lab is gentle, patient and very kind to children. Labs are also kind to other family members, friends and other pets. Every family member can bond with the lab in their own way.
The double meanings can be inferred by use of the term: “hounds” in the first title. It refers to both the hunting dogs General Zaroff employs in stalking his human quarry and the manner in which he does, refusing to kill Sangar Rainsford when he could clearly do so on several occasions, saving him for another day’s hunt. The term equally applies to Rainsford, himself, who at the story’s conclusion, does not simply escape, but returns to confront and become a “hound of Zaroff” in the final duel, taking his revenge on the general and replacing him. The title “The Most Dangerous Game” alludes to elements of both hunting and gamesmanship. In his essay on the short story, David Kippen, an educator and specialist on British colonial literature, explored the dual meanings found in the title: “A closer look makes the title’s apt, formal, elegance clear.
