of the clan, almost like ancestors, and to kill them is taboo. But separated from his family and clan connections Lekoloi became dangerously free of social norms. “I became a wild man,” he said with a shrug and a glimmer of a smile. Lekoloi joined cattle raids, robbed tourists, broke into homes and was charged with — and later acquitted of — the 1998 murder of an Italian missionary in Archers Post. He soon began to poach for a living. “When I killed that first elephant the rangers were asking,…

A. 1. This week’s session on sustainability hit very close to home with me. My adult children have been altering their consumption habits by buying organic, antibiotic free, and non-gmo products over the last few months. They have also been purchasing either free range or locally grown meats, local meat markets. After reading “A Meat Eater’s Guide to Climate Change”, I also altered my buying habits for the week. I knew, from my daughters, that there were health benefits to eating organic…

The making and absorption of carbon dioxide by the environment happen naturally on earth. However, the recent extremely high levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can be blamed on human activity (EPA 9). In the UK alone, they produced 655 million tons of carbon dioxide in 2005 (Gill, Smith, and Wilkinson 3). This fact is especially staggering when you realize that because it is gas, it takes a lot more of it to make a ton than something like wood or iron would. The countries of the world…

There are numerous risk factors identified by many researchers that influence the occurrence of clinical mastitis such as age, parity, lactation stage, milk yield(Yamane, 2003; Rollin et al., 2015) A. Breed Risk of mastitis varies from breed to breed. High yielding cows are generally considered to be more susceptible to intramammary infection e.g. Holstein Frisian (HF), Jersey or HF and Jersey cross bred dairy cows are more susceptible to mastitis than Desi (Zebu) breeds of cows (Sharma, 2003)…

chain is a bad process to make food. One example that he mentioned was, “Basically, almost all of the cattle in the feedlot are are sick. And it’s their corn-based diet that makes them ill” (58). This quote indicates that if the cows are sick we would barely have any meat or our meat would be ill and that would cause us to feel ill. He also announced, “By giving antibiotics to the millions of cattle in the U.S. we are actually breeding new superbacteria that can’t be killed by antibiotics” (60).…
