This article, written by Margaret Lazarus basically discusses her views on a popular movie at this time, The Lion King. She begins by talking about how excited she and her sons are to see the newly released box-office record breaking Walt Disney movie. Shortly after, she jumps right into discussing how stereotypical and prejudiced the movie is. She claims that it is stereotypical and prejudiced against African Americans, gays, and even the ghettos of current society. She points out that the golden-maned “good” lion presents his first born male child to the others of the ecosystem or animal kingdom, and they all pay tribute to this lion cub, who will one day be their king.…

Last week, both the animal world and the human world were in state of shock as Cecil The Lion was killed, beheaded and skinned in Zimbabwe. Almost everyone knew that Cecil was one of the most popular animals on that area and she symbolizes the true meaning of animal freedom. But just like any other great stories, a dentist named Walter Palmer ended that freedom by paying his guide $55,000 to help him kill the poor animal. According to various news sources, Palmer’s dental clinic and Facebook page were already closed.…

This predicted experimental design tested the hypothesis that male sea lions act differently alone then with a group of females. Results do support the hypothesis that male sea lions tend to interact more with each other compared to females. The data would inform the reader that these behaviors only would last for a short period. Sleeping and other aggressive behaviors would be at the same level. During the three days observing, there will be many times that there will be no display of various behaviors.…
The stories of the Christians being fed to the lions could have been fueled by the insanity of Christians to willingly die according to the pagans. It would be hard to argue that Christians were tossed to the lions for being Christians because most surviving accounts and evidence comes from Christians. The small Christian population at the time would have reason to exaggerate the truth in a empire surrounded by “bloodthirsty” pagans calling for the lions. The Christians being apart of the lower class associated with criminals and robbers who were sent to the lions does make sense. The Christians used the myth of the lions and historians like Tertullian to gather sympathy and popularity.…

Should exotic animal ownership be legal? Once, when I was in the middle of my fourth grade summer vacation, I went camping with my family. More than once, on the ride there, we saw bears and a couple hawks and eagles. I think exotic animals should be allowed to be owned as pets, because it would be a nice learning experience, as many people wonder what it would be like to own a snake or turtle.…
The arguments that encourage the placement of wild animals in captivity don’t necessarily talk about behavior. Their defense centers around how zoos and other places that house captive animals are important places to teach the public about wildlife conservation and rehabilitating animals to release back into the wild (Lin 2017). They believe that as long as these places follow AZA regulations that call for enrichment programs and maintenance techniques that closely mimics how should be in the wild (Lin 2017). However, this solution does not negate the fact that captivity alters the social and biological behaviors of wild animals. In a study conducted by M Elsbeth McPhee; a conservation biologist, researchers were looking at the long term effects that captivity had on a whole species (Mcphee 2004).…
Many stories are told through the perspective of one omnipresent narrator, the perspective one character, or even an unreliable narrator. These styles emphasize the views and opinion of one character, one side of the story being told. In Michael Ondaatje’s In the Skin of a Lion, Ondaatje uses an unconventional style of narration to tell the untold stories of the working class and immigrants who built the country, to give immigrants a voice they do not have in the past, and to recreate how certain memories have a major impact while some do not. Through this style, Ondaatje emphasizes the main topic of the novel, the perspective of immigrants and working class in the nineteen- thirties.…
I chose to work with The Lion King for my Trailer Remix Assignment because it encompasses multiple genres throughout the film. Even though it is meant to be an adventure/drama movie it features different facial expressions and scenes that allows one to depict a romantic movie from it. The plot deals with growing up, getting into dangerous situations, making new friends, and finally accepting who you are. Due to the fact that this movie shows these two characters together in the first of the movie and near the end, it was quite easy to pick the scenes out where they are featured. Looking closely through the first of the movie you could see the aspects of a possible early relationship happening with some of the facial expression codes used back and forth to the two main characters, the rest of the character codes just needed to be removed from the film.…
According to National Geographic, the article “Exotic Pets”, former exotic wildlife owner, Tim Harrison claims, “(I) will never again own anything wild or exotic./ (I) believe ownership of all potentially dangerous exotic animals should be banned”. Therefore even a former owner of wolves, snakes, lions, and bears agrees that having possession of wild animals can be extremely dangerous to a person considering exotic pets can be unpredictable. Furthermore, owners of exotic pets do not realize the risk and danger they put on the community for housing these exotic creatures. In National Geographic, the article “Exotic Pets” Lauren Slater writes, “A man named Terry Thompson let 50 of his wild animals, including lions and tigers, out of their cages and enclosures before killing himself”. This quote depicts an example of a man from Ohio, who let out 50 wild animals, causing a dangerous situation for citizens living in Muskingum County.…
Though, if they can’t stand the harassment, they leave the pride and become nomads (loners). These females wander until they are accepted by another pride, which is very rare, or become part of a new pride under another nomad male lion. Once settled down in a secure pride position, lions live the rest of their lives in a predictable cycle. Females provide the necessities…
