In the wild, whales travel and hunt in pods, which are considered to be their family units. Although there are different groups, the resident, transient, and offshore killer whales, these animals most commonly remain with their family unit for most of or all of their lives. Every pod has its own unique sounds, closely resembling a form of language (National Geographic). Being brought into captivity, whales are put into confined spaces with other whales from different places, different pods, and…

child. Additional proof for her immaturity are the three characters Alice converses with at the shore of her “pool of tears” (Carroll 10). They are symbolic of the phases teenagers and young adulthoods pass through as they age. The lory, mouse, and dodo respectively represent the arrogance, timidness, and recklessness that characterizes these stages in mental and emotional development before…

Endangered Species Imagine the world where species are dying because they couldn’t find food because there food is extinct. The world would turn into chaos just because of one species. So if the government could save that one endangered species then we could stop the world from going into chaos. Endangered species have a huge impact on the world and if they go extinct it can mess up everything. “Endangered species does not just refer to wildlife but rather any living organism whether in the air…

Why Trophy hunting can be good for animal conservation efforts This is an interesting argument and most people, (me included) find it hard to accept. I don’t like trophy hunting I cannot see why anyone would enjoy paying a large sum of money to kill an animal that has done nothing to deserve death. Frankly, the argument is counterintuitive. How can killing animals save animals from being killed? Keep an open mind. Evidence suggests that in specific situations trophy hunting can really help…

Introduction Ever since 1961, humans have been removing orcas out of their natural habitats to go to places such as Sea World, where they are forced to perform tricks for people who pay to watch (Blackfish). Unlike orcas in the wild, captive orcas have been known to live shorter lives and go through traumatic experiences. Also, orca captivity has had negative effects on not only the orcas taken captive, but their families too. Due to the negative changes orcas experience from the wild to…

the invading Martians be that much different from our own race for the fact they were born in our very own image? “We must remember what ruthless and utter destruction our own species has wrought, not only upon animals, such as vanished bison and the dodo, but upon its own inferior races. The Tasmanians . . . were entirely swept out of existence in a war of extermination waged by European immigrants, in the space if fifty years. Are we such apostles of mercy as to complain if the Martians warred…

In 1990, a twenty-two and a half foot long orca whale named Tilikum was the largest in captivity. He started out in Canada, in an aquarium called Sealand. Due to his size, all of the trainers and handlers couldn't swim with him in the pool, because there was a risk of being accidentally crushed or overpowered. He was placed in a tank with two other killer whales, for about a year before tragedy struck. According to "The Story Behind Tilikum the Killer Whale" by Martin Evens, in 1991 Tilikum and…

sees their DNA in a frozen vial. Here she thinks to herself “Does it have to end this way?” and contemplates human affect over species. Both the article and our reading mentions Neanderthals and how we as homo sapiens killed them off and similarly to “dodo birds” or “saber toothed tigers” they go unmissed. Pyron attempts to relate this to the extinction of species in modern day and what is sad is that an average American citizen may see this article and believe it without thinking much about the…
