These two advertisements both…

The number of stray animals is increasing daily. We live in a world where cats and dogs and other domestic animals are being abandoned by their owners or running away. This issue may not be seen like a big tragedy to all, but I personally am very involved with animals. I work at an animal hospital, Hemlock Bluffs, here in Holly Springs.

The Nature versus Nurture debate can be traced back to a few millenniums ago, and to this day it continues to rattle our brains with its complexity. William Golding an english novelist wrote the book Lord of the flies in 1954 under the preconceived notion that every human is born with the propensity to do evil; as opposed to Jean-Jacques Rousseau a philosopher and writer of the 18th century who swears it is our environment that shapes us to be good or evil. Genetic influence over traits may…

These three pieces of literature can be associated with the month of April because it is Animal Abuse Awareness Month. “April is Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month, and the ASPCA is urging supporters across the country to…

People in every city and every home are attacked in large and small ways by thoughtless actions of others each day. While it is true that there is cruelty in every human being, at the same time, kindness can attempt to repair what hate disturbs. However, without kindness, people impacted by cruelty have nothing that can protect them from…

Animal Cruelty “Animal cruelty is ignored every day.” Thomas Gray once wrote, “ignorance is bliss.” Every day animals are beaten, neglected, abused, or even just struggling to survive. Animals are sometimes left in unsanitary conditions with no food water. Animals may have little hope while living from day to day without the compassion animals deserve. Some of them are lucky to get rescued, and are given the chances to see how great humans and life can be, but others are not as lucky to get the…
