How prodigious can a stingray get? They can grow up to seven-hundred and ninety pounds. This is two-hundred and ninety pounds heavier than a piano. Plus, stingrays can get up to fourteen feet long. The diet of a stingray includes mollusks such as clams, oysters, and mussels, with a slight bit of shrimp. They have a very strong jaw to break through all of the hard shells.

The Homestead Act, which became law in May of 1862, allowed any American citizen to clam 160 acres of land for free. This act opened up the opportunity for families to move west and begin settlement of Western territories. It may seem simple, but this Act made it very easy for people to move west, and quickened the settlement of the Western United States. Before the Civil War, similar acts to the Homestead Act were proposed in the government multiple times, but never passed. Oftentimes, the…

When a rape occurs, our society almost always assumes that a man assaulted a woman, hardly ever the other way around. The idea of a woman raping a man in our western society is taboo. Women are seen as fragile creatures, not capable of committing such a crime. However, contrary to popular belief, at least one in every thirty-three men report being raped. This particular issue was portrayed in the sixteenth year, episode seventeen of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. In this particular episode…

It is not just these animals who must live in these kind of situations, but sea animals are forced into tiny tanks where they will remain there for the rest of their lives. Keeping animals in captivity for our own use is infringement of an animal’s right to be free from human abuse. The crazy thing is that even in their own environment these poor and defenseless animals are hunted down and used for our own purposes. Sharks, for example, are hunted down for their fins and only their fins. Sharks…

The ice caps are melting at an increasing rate, this is due to the increase in the global temperature. The melting ice is causing ocean and rivers to have a rise in water. The increase in oceans is causing beaches to erode faster. Due to this many coastal cities and factories have faced issue with increased storms and flooding. Places like Bangladesh have frequent flooding and suffer…
