Culling

Surplus animals are killed or sold to dealers or circuses every year and the main reasons for the above acts are given as old age or over population. Culling of animals is very popular in many countries in Europe. One recent example was the killing of a tiger on 8th june 2016 in a zoo in London. The zoo authorities reported that the animal had caught a very unfriendly disease due to which he had been killed…

The French Revolution made monsters out of the kindest of people, it was a time where anyone in the higher classes was in critical danger at all times, and the only way to survive was to rebel. Though not every monster in the revolution was committed to introducing the Guillotine. Individuals like Madame Defarge, although she is not expected to fight, was a major character due to her unabiding cruelty and diligent support of the Revolution. Throughout the story, she changes her roles at every…

case, it is the system that allows this treatment of animals and to view them as our resources that is the fundamental wrong (Regan, 1993). In the crocodile’s case, if the media portrayed the crocodile as a bloody-thirty beast, this could lead to a culling of the species. To put this into perspective, albeit an exaggerated one, if a mentally ill human being was to attack another human, you would not go and slaughter every individual that suffers from a mental illness, as this would be morally…

Over the years we have fought each other on everything under the sun, and today our nation finds itself in another such situation, that if left untreated, will eat us away until there’s nothing left, except for the ash of what once was great. The terror and fight over abortion has plagued our country for centuries now and has torn apart not only our country, but our families and friends as well. We have fought, killed, and slaughtered to prevent or allow women from choosing what to do with their…

In terms of primary data, questionnaires and structured interviews were conducted to obtain quantitative and qualitative data. With questionnaires, I chose to use the simple random sampling method when distributing my questionnaires to obtain the most accurate, valid and unbiased data. Of the 30 questionnaires distributed 30 were obtained. At particular pre-selected time intervals (during school) I distributed questionnaires in sets of three to individuals ranging from twelve years old to the…

In this study I want to tag Biggs killer whales (Orcinus orca), also known as mammal eating or transient killer whales, in the mid-Salish sea. Biggs killer whales are named after Michael Bigg, a Canadian marine biologist who is considered the founder of killer whale research (Paterson, 2002). Bigg was the first scientist to look at the differences between killer whales that preyed on fish and stayed in one home range all year and those that preyed on mammals and live in larger unknown ranges. It…

Arundel, Maine is a beautiful rural community in southern Maine. This small town is home to many cattle and horse farms. Many parts of Arundel are suffering from severe land degradation. 1 Degradation can range from a reduction or loss of biodiversity, salinization, erosion, and encroachment. Degradation can also range from nutrient depletion, changes in soil structure and PH, desertification, and loss of organic matter (Brennan, 2005). The beautiful land in many parts of Arundel has become very…

Being in a group is scarcely like being stranded on an island with a group of strangers that you have to collaborate with in order to get home. While on this island you anon face the task of culling a bellwether to lead you off this terrible island. In the Delta group, which consisted of Alejandro Arango, Alexandra Plfug, Richard Rokosz, Josh Nabatilan, and myself establishing a sense of unity came facile. Though when we first commenced surmising group roles many problems commenced to arise. I…
