...Madagascar, Mexico, Peru, and Zaire. The Kingdom Animalia includes the following species: mammals, insects, birds, echinoderms, and etcetera. In this paper we will discuss two from the following areas: mammals (cats and dogs), insects (ants and flies), pigeon and chicken (birds) and echinoderms (star fish and sand dollar). o Mammals The domestic cat or also known as species Felis catus (Cat, 2009) can be dated back about 3500 to ancient Egypt. They were used as pets and mousers. Over time, cats have been worshipped or deemed evil because of their association with witches. The weigh an average of 6 to 10 pounds. Cats unlike dogs move by using their front and back legs on one side first, then the other. Cats like dogs are also very smart and carnivorus. Like dogs, they are skillful hunters, but unlike dogs, they are very nimbled and skilled on their feet. The domestic dog or also known as the species Canis lupus familiaris (dog, 2009) may have been around for almost 60 million years in what we now consider Asia. They are related to the fox and wolf and is considered man’s best friend. The weigh an average of a dog depends on the type, sex and breed. Dogs can be from under 10lbs to over 80lbs. They can be hunters like the cat, but this depends on the breed. Dogs can also be trained. Cats can be trained as well, but it is more difficult. Differences and similarities Cats and...

...however, this time period can vary from less than one week to more than one year. The time is dependent on the distance the virus must travel to reach the central nervous system. Rabies is caused by lyssaviruses including: rabies virus and Australian bat lyssavirus. Rabies is spread when an infected animal scratches or bites another animal or human. Saliva from an infected animal can also transmit rabies if the saliva comes into contact with the mouth, nose, or eyes. Overall dogs are the most common animal involved. More than 99% of rabies cases in countries where dogs commonly have the disease are caused by dog bites. In the Americas, bat bites are the most common source of rabies infections in humans, and less than 5% of cases are from dogs. Rodents are very rarely infected with rabies. The rabies virus travels to the brain by following the peripheral nerves. The disease can only be diagnosed after the start of symptoms. Animal control and vaccination programs have decreased the risk of rabies from dogs in a number of regions of the world. Immunizing people before they are exposed is recommended for those who are at high risk. The high-risk group includes people who work with bats or who spend prolonged periods in areas of the world where rabies is common. In people who have been exposed to rabies,...

...scientific world has estimations that 6 out of every 10 infectious diseases in humans are spread from animals. Echinococcosis can also be called a hydatid disease, hydatidosis, or echinococcal disease and is a disease which involves Echninococcus tapeworm parasites with two main types which are cystic echinococcosis (CE) and alveolar-echinococcosis (AE) (CDC, 2012). According to the World Health Organization (2014) up to 1 million people globally are affected at any one time. As shown in Figure 1 below, it is easy to transmit the disease between species. However, although humans can be infected which according to the WHO (2015) means they are accidental intermediate hosts but they cannot transmit the disease. [pic] Figure 1: The cycle of echinococcosis (Source: www.cieh.org ) The importance of the disease The importance of the disease is that it has been present and well known for many years but has been rather neglected by the health organizations. However according to the WHO (2014; Higuita et al 2015) echinococcosis was recently introduced in the list of neglected tropical diseases and is one of the six priority neglected zoonotic diseases which are rabies, echinococcosis, leishmaniasis, cysticercosis, human African trypanosomiasis, and food-borne trematodiases. More control strategies are being implemented and so according to the WHO (2014) by 2020, validated control strategies should be available and control interventions increased. [pic] Diagram...

...Livestock Domestic sheep and a cow (heifer) pastured together in South Africa Livestock are domesticated animals raised in an agricultural setting to produce commodities such as food, fiber and labor. This article does not discuss poultry or farmed fish, although these, especially poultry, are commonly included within the meaning of "livestock". Livestock are generally raised for profit. Raising animals (animal husbandry) is a component of modern agriculture. It has been practiced in many cultures since the transition to farming from hunter-gather lifestyles. History Animal-rearing has its origins in the transition of cultures to settled farming communities rather than hunter-gatherer lifestyles. Animals are ‘domesticated’ when their breeding and living conditions are controlled by humans. Over time, the collective behaviour, life cycle, and physiology of livestock have changed radically. Many modern farm animals are unsuited to life in the wild. Dogs were domesticated in East Asia about 15,000 years ago, Goats and sheep were domesticated around 8000 BC in Asia. Swine or pigs were domesticated by 7000 BC in the Middle East and China. The earliest evidence of horse domestication dates to around 4000 BC[1] Older English sources, such as the King James Version of the Bible, refer to livestock in general as "cattle", as opposed to the word "deer", which then was used for wild animals which were not owned. The word cattle is derived from Old North French catel, which meant...

...The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris)[2][3] is a subspecies of the gray wolf (Canis lupus), a member of the Canidae family of the mammalian order Carnivora. The term "domestic dog" is generally used for both domesticated and feral varieties. The dog was the first domesticated animal[4] and has been the most widely kept working, hunting, and pet animal in human history. The word "dog" can also refer to the male of a canine species,[5] as opposed to the word "bitch" which refers to the female of the species. MtDNA evidence shows an evolutionary split between the modern dog's lineage and the modern wolf's lineage around 100,000 years ago but, as of 2013, the oldest fossil specimens genetically linked to the modern dog's lineage date to approximately 33,000–36,000 years ago.[4][6] Dogs' value to early human hunter-gatherers led to them quickly becoming ubiquitous across world cultures. Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship, and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals. This impact on human society has given them the nickname "man's best friend" in the Western world. In some cultures, however, dogs are also a source of meat.[7][8] In 2001, there were estimated to be 400 million dogs in the world.[9] Most breeds of dogs are at most a few hundred years old, having been artificially selected for particular morphologies and behaviors by people for specific functional roles.

...of domestic violence. The campaign was launched on the 1st of May, 2014 by a nonprofit ad agency in the U.S called Serve Marketing. Serve Marketing partnered with Wisconsin Humane Society, Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office, Milwaukee Police Department and Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission to combat domestic violence. Serve Marketing kicked off their powerful public service campaign using social media, billboards, television ads and radio ads. The billboard ads from this public service campaign shows images of pets that have been abused along with young children next to the pets with chilling headlines. The PSAs from the TV and radio ads also reinforce the fact that viewers have the power to stop both animal and domestic abuse with just one phone call. The idea behind the campaign is to encourage more people to report animal abuse as soon as they suspect it as it could help individuals who might be suffering from domestic abuse. The effort is based on research that has been done by the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys (APA). The APA has found that 76% of individuals who are involved in animal abuse also abuse a member of their family. Since animal abuse is generally considered as an easier act to report than domestic abuse, if the campaign can succeed at convincing more people to dial 911 when they suspect an animal abuse case, there will be a higher chance for the law enforcement to uncover other possible forms of abuse such as domestic abuse...

...not uncommon in neighborhoods all across America. “He came home from work and he was already mad about something. I fixed his supper and he took it to the living room for him to eat”, Jimmy’s wife states. An angry Jimmy starts in on his wife by asking and making demining statements towards her such as, “What is this?” “This ain’t fit for dogs.” “How you expect me to eat this?” He throws his plate in a mad rage with the table across the room. Then he starts in on her first pushing her, cursing, ranting, raving, after the victim cowers down the abuser begins slapping her, then punching her over and over, after she hits the ground, he straddles her where the physical, mental, verbal, emotional abuse continues. The abuser turns his head to where he sees his children begging him to please stop hitting their mother, as he watches his children beg for their mothers life, in a fit of rage he hits his six year old daughter “Jasmine” in the mouth for what he calls “disrespecting him”. Jasmine’s mouth bleeds and her tooth has been knocked loose by her father. Sirens are screeching, the police, arrive to this situation, here they arrest “Jimmy” for domestic abuse, which he is on probation from a prior incident of abuse. Some might ask, “Why does Jimmy become abusive? There are quite a few contributing factors that can answer why Jimmy’s anger escalates into a violent situation. Jimmy has been raised to believe that a woman’s role is to cook, clean, take care of the children, and women are...

...profiling and as of yet it has not worked to curb the amount of serious dog attacks it was put in place to stop” (pitbulllovers, 2007). Breed Specific Legislation, or BSL are a set of laws that restricts breeds of dog or completely bans the breed from an area. BSL has banned the American Pit Bull Terrier from multiple states in America, and even some European countries. In this essay I will prove the unnecessity of BSL. This essay will go more in depth on what BSL is all about, it will educate the readers about the American Pit Bull Terrier breed and the pit bull family as a whole, and it will provide possible alternatives. Breed Specific Legislation made its first notable appearance in 1984. “In 1984, a New Mexico town completely banned pit bulls and allowed county officers to confiscate and euthanize the dogs” (animallaw, 2007). 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 (animallaw, 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. Pit bulls are not necessarily a breed of dog. Pit bulls are a category of dogs more than a breed. Pit bull usually groups 3 breeds of dog, “the American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT), American Staffordshire Terrier (AMSTAFF)...

Introduction The issue of Domestic violence is one that pervades through all levels of society. It is widely recognised as being a serious problem in society and one in which there are many theories and intervention methods. This essay hopes to cover some of the major theorists and their relevant theories and to illustrate the overview of the problem and issues arising from the area of domestic violence. How it may be defined and recognised, who are involved and affected and why, and if it can be prevented and/or stopped. Definition. Domestic violence as the popular ad says ‘does what it says on the tin’. It is violence perpetrated by one person or more against another or others in a home situation. It is "the intentional and persistent physical, emotional or psychological and financial abuse of anyone in the home in a way that causes pain, distress or injury". It includes all partners either living together or apart, heterosexual gay or lesbian. Abusers and victims can exist in a home situation and can be of any age, sex, or profession. Any person can be a victim, there is no set of rules nor socio economic indicators that qualifies anyone to be a victim. Although most women and children are victims, men can also be abused in the home. In a recent UK Government report it was...

...has also occurred in African countries due to the reuse of needles. Some healthcare centers caring for people with the disease do not have running water. In the United States, spread has occurred due to inadequate isolation. Airborne transmission has not been documented during EVD outbreaks. That airborne transmission does not appear to occur in humans may be due to there not being high enough levels of the virus in the lungs. Spread by water or food other than bushmeat has also not been observed, In Africa wild animals, including fruit bats are hunted to eat, being known as bushmeat. Animals may become infected when they eat fruit already partially eaten by bats carrying the virus. It does appear that both domestic dog and pigs can also be infected with ebola viruses. Dogs when they carry the virus do not appear to develop symptoms, while pigs appear to be able to transmit the virus to at least some primates. Three types of fruit bats have been found to possibly carry the virus without getting sick. Whether or not other animals are involved in its spread is not known as of 2013. The bats displayed no clinical signs and is evidence that these bats are a reservoir species of the virus. In a 2002–2003 survey of 1,030 animals including 679 bats from Gabon and the Republic of the Congo, 13 fruit bats were found to contain EBOV RNA fragments. Antibodies against Zaire and Reston viruses have been found in fruit bats in Bangladesh, thus identifying potential virus hosts and signs of...

If roles were switched, we would basically have a taste of our own medicine. How would you feel if your dog, cat, fish or any other domestic companion is killed and hung on a wall? On the verge of extinction or not, no one should kill these precious bears because they step over ‘our territory.’ It use to be theirs until we decided to build roads and buildings causing deforestation.
