    In the article “The Last Meow” published in The New Yorker in 2003 the author Burkhard Bilger states, “Americans now spend $19 billion a year on veterinary care for their pets, up from $11 billion just seven years ago. Add to that the cost of pet food and other supplies, and the number rises to $47 billion, nearly three times as much as the federal government spends on welfare grants.” Bilger claims, “clearly our love affair with animals has gotten out of control ( Part 8 para 49)”. There is no doubt that Americans spend a ridiculous amount of money on their beloved pets; money that could be spent improving their quality of their own life and the life of others. By defining the ridiculous and costly love affair Americans have developed with…

    Morgan’s narrative in her piece approaches death, something that traditional taxidermy avoids. This is so that the death of the taxidermied animal is not in the forefront of the viewer’s mind. Instead, traditional taxidermists, such as Akeley and Potter, approach life through lively content and visuals. Potter approaches human qualities of life through anthropomorphic kittens lined up for a wedding, an event that humans consider the “beginning of a new life.” His diorama “The Kitten Wedding,” is an anthropomorphic scene of a kitten wedding; a bride and groom stand toward one end of the rectangular diorama as a pastor stands in front of them watching the groom place a gold band around the bride’s finger (paw).…

    In his book The Great Cat Massacre: And Other Episodes in French Cultural History, American cultural historian Robert Darton argues that readers can access the “social dimension of thought” via folktales because stories are often influenced by the “surrounding world of significance” (6). He claims that folktales often evolve to reflect the social attitude at the time at which they are told. Thus, as Darton suggests, it is “…unwise to build an interpretation on a single version of a single tale (18)”. Focusing especially on the evolutionary aspect of folktales, Darton provides a comprehensive tool to interpret what different versions of the same fairy tale suggest about changes in society.…
