...to John Wynne-Tyson "Until we establish a felt sense of kinship between our own species and those fellow mortals who share with us the sun and shadow of life on this agonized planet, there is no hope for other species, there is no hope for the environment, and there is no hope for ourselves.". In Cape Verde, animals that are used as means of food are left out in the outdoors to look for their own means of food; for example, animals like cows, goats and pigs. At times, they enter people’s agriculture property, or dig into people’s trash; which, causes the growth of flies and other insects, that might end up in our food. This is the major cause for disorder and pollution, not to forget these animals are later sold in the market, and served as a dish. I have witnessed goats eating plastic bags, which is hazardous not only for them, but for us as consumers. Cows are known to cross the roads when they well please, sometimes causing traffic and even accidents. People usually treat dogs as guard animals to protect the house and the property, cats...

...Michael Jordan " I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." Those encouraging words were spoken by Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan was born in Brooklyn, New York, on February 17, 1963. His parents, James and Delores Jordan, moved to Wilmington, North Carolina when he was still a toddler. Jordan has two older brothers, one older sister, and one younger sister. I am going to tell you why Jordan is in fact so famous. To get there he had to overcome tough obstacles but it the end has many great achievements. His love for basketball began when his older brother, Larry, continuously beat him in one-on-one pickup games. As with any challenge Jordan faces, this determined Michael to become a better player. Jordan played basketball for Laney High School in Wilmington, North Carolina. Ironically, Jordan was cut from the varsity team as a sophomore. Instead of giving up after failing to make the team, Jordan used it to spur himself to greater achievements, practicing hour after hour on the court. "Whenever I was working out and got tired and figured I ought to stop, I'd close my eyes and see that list in the locker room without my name on it," Jordan said, "and that usually got me going again." He eventually made the team and led it to the state championship. Jordan then accepted a basketball scholarship...

...owns it than the largest.” Think about what that quote means. Is any persons’ life more important than that of an animal? Would you be willing to speak up for them? Are you up for the challenge? You might not be, but we shall see if I can change your mind after reading this. Humans have long used animals for a variety of purposes. For hundreds of thousands of years, people have hunted for food and clothing. Between 10,000 and 18,000 years ago, humans began to domesticate animals such as dogs, goats, sheep, and chickens as beasts of burden and as food. For at least 2,500 years, animals have been used in circuses and other forms of entertainment. In the second century C.E., the Greek scientist Galen conducted some of the first medical experiments on living animals. When one thinks of animal rights, I am sure they think of the sad commercials, or peta. Well there is more to it than that. There are tens of thousands of animal rights activists and organizations around the world, though relatively few are major players. Why is this? Why is it that we as a nation, heck even as a community will stand up for everything and anything except animals? They have feelings too, even if they can not show them like humans can, they still have them. They love, they mourn the loss of the ones they have known for a long time, they mourn when they get separated from their young. They do not have a voice, so they need someone to be there voice. And not just the family pets such as cats and dogs. Cows...

...illness caused by a parasite. Cryptosporidium is carried in animal intestines and can cause waterborne diseases. Cryptosporidium is carried in animal intestines and can cause waterborne disease. Cryptosporidiosis is characterized by severe, prolonged diarrhea that may last for several months or years, The parasite lives in soil, food and water. It may also be on surfaces that have been contaminated with waste. You can become infected if you swallow the parasite. Most people with crypto get better with no treatment, but crypto can cause serious problems in people with weak immune systems such as in people with HIV/AIDS. To reduce your risk of crypto, wash your hands often, avoid water that may be infected, and wash or peel fresh fruits and vegetables before eating. A protozoan that can infect cats, dogs, cattle, sheep, and humans, is usually transmitted by the ingestion of raw or undercooked meat, blood transfusion, transplancental infection of the fetus, on inhalation of dust contaminated with cat droppings. Although most of cases of toxoplasmosis in nonimmunisuppressed individuals are asymptomatic, the disease can result in massive lesions of the brain, liver, lungs, and other organs in AIDS patients. MORPHOLOGY According to Bhoi’s Basics of Microbiology (2008) that Cryptosporidium parvum is a small round parasite measuring 3 to 5 micrometers which live in the intestine of humans and animals cause epidemic of diarrhea in most of the humans thru contaminated water and food.

...Animal Abuse is an ongoing crime and it happens every day weather it be wild animals or animals in dairy factories. Most of the animals found on the road are abandoned by their house owners, the bulk of those animals are either cats or dogs. With reference to abandoned dogs, those animals, while not being attended reproduce puppies that are not desired and so, are assaulted through the neglect that they are left to suffer alone within the cruel world of the road. The tough conditions that street animals endure are major issues in animal welfare these days. Nearly seventy five million dogs are out on the road. The injuries suffered from fending for food are typically never treated. Tumors, infection of skin and open wounds are usually found on the animals that go untreated and cause nice suffering for the bruised and unattended animal. Nearly seventy five percent of households with kids over the age of six have at least one pet. Animal abuse and force usually occur in cycle(Animal Cruelty Facts and Statistics). In studies, women are abused less than animals. Within the words of Jordan Valerie, the President of Restate Animal, a volunteer organization that rescues stray dogs and cats, what many of us do not absolutely perceive is that animal abuse is not restricted to our households and streets. Another example of animal abuse is the agriculture. Agriculture could be a large-scale industrial web site wherever animals are rose for the food trade. Abuse happens in their restricted...

Let's consider the idea of a subset for our discussion. • Give an example of a subset and a proper subset. Explain the difference between a subset and proper subset. • Can any set be a proper subset of itself? Give an example of why or why not. A = {Lions, Tigers, Jaguar} B={Lions, Tigers, Leopard, Cheetah, Jaguar} *Everything that is in A is in set B therefore it is an example of a subset. * Example A and B are also a proper subset because everything in A is in B and they are not equal. I will give an example of a subset that is not proper to try to better explain.

...diseases they have, contract, and carry there is no limits. From dogs and cats to livestock and exotics it is necessary to learn and understand diseases from metabolic to degenerative or idiopathic, Neoplastic diseases and Toxic poisonings, Congenital and Genetic diseases to Immune related diseases, and Infectious and Contagious diseases to Parasitic Infections. There is a world that one can get lost in when it comes to learning about theses things. Some diseases have been around for years while others are still being studied with new ones occurring today in the modern world. Along with these diseases it is important to study and understand what causes them, what signs to look for, what species to look for them in, how to treat them, and how to prevent them from happening, IF you can even prevent them. Some diseases and conditions have vaccines to help with prevention and some do not, while some diseases are zoonotic meaning that they can be transmitted from animal to human. While there are hundreds upon hundreds of diseases to be looked at, the ten researched below are the ones once prevalent among the veterinary technicians job in the clinic; Hip Dysplasia and Ethylene Glycol poisoning in dogs, Hyperthyroidism and Rabies in cats, Strangles and Equine Recurrent Uveitits in Horses, Cryptosporidium and Fasciola Hepatica in Ruminants and Swine, Idiopathic Epilepsy in Aviaries, and Lymphoma in Ferrets.

...Why Don’t We Eat Dogs? Franklin Salcedo DeVry University 01-27-2013 Why Don’t We Eat Dogs? What makes some animals better than others? Or better yet, why do we eat certain animals while it is a crime to eat others? It is questions like these that many people would hope to ignore forever or rather avoid. But as humans, these are the type of questions which define us as better beings and often challenge us to think and act in a way that’s worthy of our better capabilities, intellect, conscience, and hearts. If only an animal would ever speak or rise up the way many human rights activist did in the past in defense of human equality regardless of race or skin color. Surely we would have massive protests and riots from pigs, cows, lambs, goats, and many other animals whose rights are just completely ignore by the vast majority. It is sad to see that these rights are only applied in favor of a handful of animals, while others are locked away and confined to feedlots where the powerful meat industry obliterates their rights and turn their lives into profitable pieces of meat. Though it is legal by law, culture, and trade, the maltreatment and killing of these animals to feed the inhumane and greedy meat for profit industry must stop not only because it violates animal rights, but also because it promotes an agenda of animal abuse, exploitation, and unhealthy human nutrition for generations to come. Instead, the Government should partner up with animal rights activist groups and...

Mining operations is another threat to the Coniferous forests because of the chemicals used in mining and the silt released by mining.

...Animal Testing Introduction The application of animals to test a large number of products from household compounds and cosmetics to Pharmaceutical products has been considered to be a normal strategy for many years. Laboratory animals are generally used in three primary fields: biomedical research, product security evaluation and education. (Animal Experiments) It has been estimated that approximately, 20 million animals are being used for testing and are killed annually; about 15 million of them are used to test for medication and five million for other products. Reports have been generated to indicate that about 10 percent of these animals are not being administered with painkillers. The supporters of animal rights are pressurizing government agencies to inflict severe regulations on animal research. However, such emerging criticisms of painful experimentation on animals are coupled with an increasing concern over the cost it would have on the limitation of scientific progress. (Of Cures and Creatures Great and Small) Around the world, animals are utilized to test products ranging from shampoo to new cancer drugs. Each and every medication used by humans is first tested on the animals. Animals were also applied to develop anesthetics to ease human ailments and suffering during surgery. (Animal Experiments) Currently, questions have been raised about the ethics surround animal testing. As a result several regulations have been put in place to evaluate and control the...

...proper pain medication. Animals are frequently restrained and cut open without any pain killers. Much of this is considered legal torture. Legal tests include burning, poisoning, starving, forced smoking, mutilating, blinding, electrocuting, drowning, and dissecting without painkillers. Animals in labs are often routinely mutilated and subjected to physical and psychological torment everyday of their lives. In 2012, monkeys were boiled alive when they were sent through scalding hot mechanical cage washers, while other were overheated to death in the poor laboratory conditions. Unauthorized amputations and open-heart surgeries without painkillers or anesthetics are other examples animals are subjected to. For decades, cats, dogs, primates, birds, rodents, horses, goats, pigs, and other animals have been experimented on using these torturous...

However, people will often quote only a fraction of a proverb to invoke an entire proverb, e.g. "All is fair" instead of "All is fair in love and war", and "A rolling stone" for "A rolling stone gathers no moss." The grammar of proverbs is not always the typical grammar of the spoken language, often elements are moved around, to achieve rhyme or focus Use in conversation[edit] Proverbs are used in conversation by adults more than children, partially because adults have learned more proverbs than children. Also, using proverbs well is a skill that is developed over years. Additionally, children have not mastered the patterns of metaphorical expression that are invoked in proverb use. Proverbs, because they are indirect, allow a speaker to disagree or give advice in a way that may be less offensive. Studying actual proverb use in conversation, however, is difficult since the researcher must wait for proverbs to happen.[23] An Ethiopian researcher, Tadesse Jaleta Jirata, made headway in such research by attending and taking notes at events where he knew proverbs were expected to be part of the conversations.[24] Use in literature[edit] [pic] [pic] Created proverb from J.
