should be outlawed because other animals are being injured in the process. These days’ trappers have been catching a lot more than wolves. Some among the list include mountain lions, eagles, fishers, deer and even family pets. In January, a National Park Service employee accidentally stepped into one, just outside Glacier National Park. The next month, a dog got three of its legs caught in two different traps at once. Also, the season is risking injuries of animals getting hurt. In 2013 alone…

I saw a really interesting interaction today between the jaguars and a service dog and I think we might be able to use it as a possible intervention strategy for Philly’s tail biting behavior. After seeing the dog, all jaguars instantly became fixated on the dog, especially Philly. After getting their attention they began stalking, chasing, and pouncing at the glass. (I have a brief video of the interaction) Here is a rough training plan I was thinking of: Phase 1: Blow a whistle and then after…

things she took into consideration when making this decision, and it came down to her beliefs and what was best for her. Some of her reasons included her compassion for animals, health and weight loss.

An existential risk is a risk posing permanent negative consequences to humanity which can never be undone. The most important of such risks is climate change and if left unchecked, it could essentially wipe out humans from the face of the earth. The Go Vegan to Save the Earth, University of Maine Op-Ed vehemently defends the powerful role Veganism could play in helping to avoid such a disastrous outcome. It’s apparent that Veganism is the only alternative diet choice that positively impacts the…

The Tale of Genji is another Japanese literary work that confuses nature with poems about nature. The Tale of Genji, Kuitert hypothesizes, is based off of poems from the Konkinshu, rather than actual depictions of nature. This means that Heian gardens which were meant to emulate nature actually emulate the poetic beauty of the meisho rather than nature (Kuitert 47). The Sakuteiki is an obvious attempt to create idealized depictions of natural scenes in one’s home, but this hypothesis begs the…

Do I think utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue theory is right? Utilitarianism is acts that make people happy are right, and acts that cause pain to people are bad actions. Deontology is where an act must be done from a sense of duty to have moral worth. Virtue theory is says people must act how other people would act in that situation. These theories all seem to have one flaw in common. The only consider the actions of someone and not the intentions as well. I think actions are very…

In Plato’s Gorgias, Socrates and Callicles engage in a debate about what it means to be happy and to live a flourishing life. According to Callicles, a person is happy and flourishing when he or she is living as ambitiously as he or she possibly can. Living the good life includes chasing one satisfaction after another and having a constant influx of pleasure. In contrast, Socrates emphasizes on the idea of eudaimonia, according to which a happy and flourishing person is one that lives an…

The last piece of evidence is that the Red-Tailed hawk eats bigger animals in the winter. This shows that it is the Hawk since the…

The tragedy of common is the theory of Garrett Hardin where it is the acting of an individual person independently for his own interest and depletes the resources of common in a particular area of land. For example if an acre of community of forest which can hold forty cows are been shared within households of four with ten cows each, and if one of them add one more cow in the same given area of pasture for his own benefit to generate extra income, so does the others too but the pasture can’t…

Badger: Fierce and Wild What animal looks like a skunk and is not afraid of a lion? It is the honey badger. Honey badgers are a type of weasel in Africa and western Asia. They have a long whitish-gray stripe down their backs and a gland below their tails that squirts a stinky substance. They are a bit larger than skunks, yet small compared to other mammals. However, their personalities are much different from skunks. They are as tough and fierce as many much larger animals anywhere in the…
