The Horse Fund’s article, Horse Slaughter, explains the process of slaughtering horses and what slaughterhouses use to do so. They support their explanations of the slaughter by listing and showing pictures of the steps. The Horse Fund states that “rendering horses unconscious so they can be slaughtered has never been about sparing horses any pain and suffering” but to “protect slaughterhouse workers from being harmed by flailing, terrified horses”. The Horse Fund explains that the first step is to make the horse unconscious for slaughter. In the US they use a penetrating captive bolt, “the bolt penetrates the skull, enters the cranium, and catastrophically damages the cerebrum and part of the cerebellum” (The Horse Fund).…
The Battle of The Bone Rivalry This past week the biggest rivalry football game of the year was played in Chino Hills. The game was between the Chino Hills Huskies and the Chino Hills Bulldogs; this is a rivalry that has been going on since the start of the schools. The nickname that was given to the big game was the “ Battle of the Bone.” This rivalry is a center piece to both schools, even after Chino Hills High School moved to a new sport division and could not compete against the Bulldogs in the actual football season; many people thought the rivalry would be dead. Likely the teams found a way to make the rivalry continue after the division changes.…
Mauro Senesi deliberately uses certain symbols in The Giraffe to show a contrast of the child and adult thus its conflicts with one another. The first and most obvious major symbol displayed in The Giraffe was the giraffe itself as “It was the most extraordinary thing ever seen in our square. Slowly it would lower its head, then raise it again to dizzying height. It must have seen over the houses, the clotted red roofs and the horizon. Who knows how far.”…
All animals are provided with the raw abilities to properly capture and digest their foods. The anatomy of an animal will provide evidence as to which of the three main categories it falls under: herbivore, omnivore, or carnivore. Carnivores have the abilities to subsist on only animal products. A carnivorous animal’s frame of mind revolves around their instinct to hunt. When spotting potential prey, carnivores immediately “pour out copious amounts of saliva” (Tobias).…

3.4 Ritual Practice, Symbolism, and Folklore According to Bell (1992, p. 92), "people engage in ritualization as a practical way of dealing with some specific circumstances". When it comes to death, not only is there a corpse to attend to, but also the emotional implications of mortality which arise because of the death. That is when ritual comes into play. In the presence of death, ritual becomes action which brings structure and meaning to existence (Nilsson Stutz 2003, p. 56).…
In Serpents and Skulls Mr. Palomar’s friends and the School teacher have different perspectives on the symbols, statues and altars found in the Tula ruins. We could say that Palomar’s friend is depicted as a better and well-prepared guide than the teacher since in every stone his friend puts together theories, as well as opinions from the past and research done and gives his assumptions on what they could mean; meanwhile the teacher who is guiding its students along the ruins often bringing to their attention details about every altar, statue, and symbol but never really tries to interpret what they meant and often ended with the refrain “No se sabe que quiere decir” which it is Spanish for “we don’t know what it means” and moved on. These…
The controversial and thought provoking installation artist and activist, Angela Singer uses her process of redefining the purpose of taxidermy to interpret the preconceived perceptions of animal violence, gender roles in society and art as well as the viewers experience. Since the early 1990’s taxidermy has taken the reins in popular culture, especially in contemporary art. Artists are now using taxidermy in their work as a unique and yet growing medium to be displayed in exhibits. “Singer’s reclamation of the taxidermy object acknowledges the taxidermy process and utilizes historical methods of displaying to simultaneously expose the myth of the hunt and the masculine drive to collect animal trophies. Angela Singer’s concept of incorporating animals into her work was originally influenced by the love of her childhood dog.…

Dogs are lying in the streets all over rundown and gang parts of big cities, fighting for their lives because they were hurt and abandoned. The dog lost in a dogfight, his owner lost $25,000, so he beat his dog and left him in the street to die. Dogfighting is a huge problem, and needs to be considered animal cruelty.

The dogs have no chance of surviving if they are brought into dogfighting.…
African men and women within the realm of the African diaspora have historically decorated their heads in inventive and unique ways. Its central transcending position makes the head an ideal site for the aesthetic and symbolic elaboration of the body. In many African languages, as in English, the word "head" is used metaphorically. Some common meanings of kun, the word for head in the Bamana lan- guage spoken in Mali, include leader, main, premier, highest, superior, chief, and source. Among the Karamojong of Uganda, the word ekasikout, head, also means elder and signifies a person with great wisdom, experience, and moral influence (Pazzaglia 1982:96).…
