...population” (Eckler). The wild boar population is a bad population they destroy water holes and habitats. The wild boar eats food that other animals need to survive. “The wild pig is the most prolific large mammal on the face of the earth-but they are not “born pregnant”! The average is between 5 and 6 pigs per litter. Sows have approximately 1.5 liters per year” (Higginbotham). If a sow has 6 pigs every litter that she is able to have and there are 6 pigs that is 36 pigs born into a habitat. This shows that pigs are very invasive and rebirth quickly. “Average lifespan id probably between 4 and 8 years of age” (Higginbotham). If a sow lives to be 8 years of age and have 6 pigs in 2 liters per year that is 96 pigs for one sow in its life span. Now think of all the pigs in the United States. “Average weight varies but run 200 pounds for adult males and 175 pounds for adult females” (Higginbotham). For such a short animal this is a lot of weight. The wild pigs destroy the environment. “Approximately 85% to 90% of their diet is believed to be composed of vegetation and 10% animal matter. Small pigs eat approximately 5%of their body weight daily; larger pigs an estimated 3% of body weight” (Higginbotham). Wild pigs eat a lot of other species food that is why they are considered an invasive species. Wild pigs are fast and...

...In today’s society, we live in a political environment which is considered to be an ideology of George Orwell’s novel, Animal Farm by the means of why government is necessary. The concept of the necessity of government is brought up in the beginning of the novel when Mr. Jones is ran out of his farm due to nationalist uprising brought upon by Old Majors speech and song. When the animals rebelled against Mr. Jones there was no standing army to put them down. There wasn’t any laws or rules for the animals to follow so this led to anarchy due to no government or authority to enforce them. The novel Animal Farm demonstrates a lot of ideologies and themes that are similar to our politics today. In Animal Farm we see a repetitive theme of the consequences...

...The Rational Pigs. Here is a question posed in the book by John McMillan, Games, Strategies and Managers. Two pigs, one dominant and the other subordinate, are put in a box. There is a lever at one end of the box which, when pressed, dispenses food at the other end. Thus, the pig that presses the lever must run to the other end; by the time it gets there, the other pig has eaten most, but not all, of the food. The dominant pig is able to prevent the subordinate pig from getting any of the food when both are at the food. Assume that pig survival depends upon getting the most food it possibly can, which pig will press the lever? The Rational Pigs. To answer this Assume • 6 units of grain are delivered. • That pressing the lever and running to the other end involves effort, equivalent to ½ unit of grain • Each could press the lever simultaneously but the subordinate pig could run faster. Dominant Pig: Press Don’t Press Subordinate Pig: Press (1.5, 3.5) (-0.5, 6) Don’t Press (5, 0.5) (0, 0) Clearly, the subordinate pig has a dominant strategy (Don’t press). Why? Because his payoffs from pressing the lever are 1.5 and -0.5. If he doesn’t press the lever his payoffs are 5 or 0. In other words, as 5 is greater than 1.5 and 0 is greater than -0.5, it will always pay the subordinate pig to stop at the end where the food is released. This is a ‘rational’ choice. The ‘rational’ dominant pig should see this and press the lever. The equilibrium in...

...Contrapasso is one of the rules of Dante’s inferno which states that every sinner’s crime is equivalent to the punishment they receive. The level of hell where contrapasso is best represented is in the sixth level The sixth level shows how they were forced to live the afterlife since all they were focused in was the earth they lived on . They also contributed with dead objects which meant they had to go through dieing in the afterlife. For example, “ This punishment is fitting. What these souls avoided doing in life, they now do in death, “ (Canto 3). They way they showed death was that they bonded with coffins as if they were dead. Contrapasso is also show when it says, “ He shouted at Dante, “Living soul, go away. Stay away from the...

Removing man from the scene did not abolish overwork and hunger forever. In fact, animals questioned whether or not they worked more and ate less than before the man were removed. This is due to the fact that when the pigs took over they were as bad if...

...Case 3 “Bill Thurmond Pig Farm” After reviewing the study, we feel Bill and Walt Thurmond cannot sustain their business as a family pig farm. Before a detailed analytical examination of the case, we want to review the current conditions surrounding the family farm. The first negative element the farm faces is a consistent decrease in pig sales from 1995 to 1998. In these 4 years, the farm experiences a 90.23% decline in total pig sales. Increased competition from corporate pig farms have taken market share and will ultimately bring the market price of the meat down. In addition, environmental requirements are expected to increase expenses in the future. The farm has no free cash flow available for any market uncertainties or expenses as well. In contrast, the pig farm has some positive catalysts. From 1995 to 1998, total expenses have decreased 71.22% benefiting the farm with less overall overhead. Also, the average weight of the pigs in lbs. has increased 6.48% in the four years. The pig farm has assets in 5,000 pigs ready for market and land in which they can sell. The land has timber which could be profitable if Bill Thurmond wants to sell before the holiday season. Here is a chart of the financial data we created based on the trends of the business: The chart shows the farm has done a great job in their cost cutting and expense portion of their business. Total expenses have decreased greatly in the four years. In contrast, the revenue side of their business has a negative...

...the United States, animals such as dogs are treated far better than other animals. The question then arises, why do dogs get treated more diligently while other animals with the same mental capacity get slaughtered and consumed? By looking at "Let Them Eat Dog" by Jonathon Foer, the perception of why one should not think of dogs as superior animals and why the idea of consuming a dog should not be looked down upon in society will be thoroughly analyzed and examined. People in the United States think it’s morally wrong to eat dogs since it is a household pet. The same people who don’t eat dogs, eat other animals such as pigs, chickens, and cows, which is questionable because they still devour animals that are necessary to the environment and society today. In "Let Them Eat Dog" by Jonathon Foer, the author gives logical reasons on why we should eat dog, and why it is not harmful to the society in any manner. It's legal in 44 states to eat dog, and dog meat poses no greater health risk than any other meat. The problem arises is that a dog is labeled as a "man's best friend". Therefore, it is merely wrong to even think of eating a dog in the United States. Because pets such as dogs and cats are considered to be valuable in an average American Household, statistics show that 3 to 4 million dogs and cats get put down every year. Furthermore, the brutal killing of cows and pigs in slaughter houses...

...Abstract The pigs are always fat, lazy, and happy, whereas the wolves are always intimidating, shrewd, and even reckless. The tyrant in the story of the Three Little Pigs is the wolf, who is unable to be satisfied by his cravings and who must continue in his endless search for meaning. The story seems to portray the wolf as an imposing figure that is unconquerable by the pigs; however, in the end the wit of the third pig does indeed conquer the wolf. The wolf, in a typical role of preying on the weak, is able to blow down the houses of the first two pigs, but the third pig’s business nature and sturdy home hinders the wolf. The cycle is supposed to be a reverse full circle, with the pigs now being at the top of the food chain and in a sense, will retain the revolutionary spirit that had once been contained within the wolf, but was then passed on to the pig. All four of these stories provide their own perceptive insights into the classic tale, and shows how one story can provide four different viewpoints that are each unique and each worthy of expansion into their own universes. The Three Little Pigs This paper studies the different levels of perceived cunning between the wolf and the pig, using several examples to determine each animal’s resourcefulness. The stories of the Three Little Pigs have a single and commonly understood plot and the moral of the tale shows how productiveness and tenacity pay off in the end. The twist in these four stories is that each of the...

...portrayed by Napoleon, clearly shows evident signs of corruption that had taken place during the Russian revolution. This winding allegory shed depth towards the type of civilization that evolved during the revolution. Napoleon; a ruthless leader whose main goal evolved into a yearning for power, turned a civilization that had already been distraught, dazed, and confused into something much worse. Hence, depicting to readers how leadership can become corrupt as well as cheating citizens out of a fair and just government. The previously corrupted leadership shadowed the citizens viewpoints from what the new leadership was becoming. Within the first days that the pigs took leadership the animals “noticed that the milk had disappeared” (26). At that moment, the first wave of suspicion about the pigs...

...impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” It is hard to think that such a young and innocent girl would perish soon after writing this in the concentration camps constructed by the Nazis. The Nazis’ brutal ‘purification’ of the world, leaving millions dead in the brutal concentration camps and the horrific gas chambers, exemplify Golding’s ideas of mankind; brutal, destructive and evil which are inherent in human nature. The use of Jack, the pig hunts, the Lord of the Flies, Simon and the island that Golding believes in the idea that evil in an inborn characteristic of the archaic human race. Golding's use of characterization of Jack portrays the capacity of evil and violence which men are capable of due to their inborn human nature of evil. This is indicated when Jack, feeling especially bloodthirsty after a pig hunt starts to chant: " Kill the pig, cut his throat! Kill the pig, bash him in!" (Golding 125). Here, Jack reveals his unmasked side of himself where he is a ruthless, violent savage who is the exact portrayal of the evil side of mankind. Although it may not seem so, Jack is still a young child. However, the putrid black words coming from him sound of a beast. The characterization of Jack leads to the indication that Golding believed that even children...

... Lord of the flies essay This essay is going to show the extent of which Jack and Ralph symbolise the struggle between good and evil. As you read further on you should notice that Jack goes to a much larger extent to represent evil rather than good, however Ralph is the complete opposite. Jack uses his talent and skill to become a hunter and Ralph to try and keep order and rules over the Island. Jack is quite selfish but Ralph is more caring towards the other boys. The essay will compare Jack and Ralph and show some of the few similarities that they have; it will also show the competition between them to try and become leader. My first impression of Jack was that he is used to being the leader and he thinks is better than everyone else, he is self-centred and quite arrogant; however Jack does have some good leadership skills as he was head of the choir. I think this because in the book it says, “kid’s names, why should I be Jack? I’m Merridew.” This suggests that Jack thinks that he is higher in authority than all the other boys because he wants to be called by his surname instead of his first name (Jack). I think Ralph gives a better first impression than Jack because he was immediately thinking about organising the boys on the island in order to get them all rescued. This shows that Ralph wasn’t just thinking about himself, but the others...
