Dogs in warfare

Sheep dogs have a tendency to display herding behaviours as their herding instinct, as they have a tendency to herd other small animals and children, without proper training, this behaviour could become problematic. Herding is a behaviour that animals display to bring a group of animals together and to move and maintain the group. Herding may be have been of benefit in the wild as wolves and wild dogs hunt in packs, herding and chasing an animal to cut off their escape route. This behaviour may allow more prey to be captured and consumed thus increases dogs’ ability to survive in the wild by increasing their energy intake per day. Humans could have breed sheep dogs for this behaviour as they are required to herd large groups of animals. To get the traits needed for the sheep dogs, humans will have to breed for a selected trait as the breed the dogs with more favourable traits with each other and discard the ones that do not. The act of selective breeding will accelerate the speed of evolution in the dogs, causing a rise of a new dog breed in only a few generations. The traits breeders select for in sheep dog would be the display of herding behaviours as it is useful in farm works and herding animals. Adrenalin plays a big role in the display of this behaviour in sheep dogs as the hormone increases the dog’s play and prey drive, the play and prey drive is what causes the herding behaviours in dogs. Training is required to control the herding behaviours in sheep dog as it would…

speak up with. “The Animal Welfare Act is the only federal law that governs the humane care, handling, treatment, and transportation of some animals in certain situations.” The definition of Animal neglect differs from state-to-state. Many cases of Animal neglect go unreported. Signs of neglect are: animals without shelter in extreme heat or cold, clearly emaciated animals. Visible bones and lethargy can be a sign of an untreated, life-threatening medical condition or imminent starvation,…

Military Working Dogs Blistering heat, stinging sand, gritty wind. These extreme conditions America's brave servicemen withstand while overseas. However, they are not alone. They are accompanied by Military Working Dogs who also encounter such hellish conditions. Why, one may ask, would a nation deploy dogs to war? A Military Working Dog is not the common, everyday street dog; he is tasked with completing, with ease, assignments that would potentially cause hardship and danger to soldiers. He is…

traits to make the reader feel bad for the worthlessness of the house’s efforts and its existence since there are no more humans in the house. This adds to the eerie atmosphere of what’s going on and in a way symbolizes how nature would carry on its way doing its thing after humans and their inventions have already come and gone. The thought of a dying world empty of humanity is macabre enough on its own. Ever since the Cold War era, many people have been fearing for a World War III with all…

World War I introduced to the world many new articles to the field of technology. Although technology today is more advanced than in WWI, technology thrived during WWI to meet the ever changing needs of the crisis, accordingly, WWI had a big impact on the technology in the present. World War I pushed for headways in the realm of medicinal services, made new strategies for offense and guard, and finally, affected the innovation of the present day. The introduction of prosthetics helped give…

(The Trenches of WWI) The trenches of World War I helped the army stay protected from enemy fire, but they had to deal with dead bodies, rats, cold water and minimum food. Most dealt with trench foot and many lost feet and toes. For food they had tea and dog biscuits and not much meat except for rats. History thinks that the war was wasteful, but it was really a thought out system. Exhaustion, low reserves, and huge loss of life on both sides made both them realize the defensiveness…

The use of Chemical Warfare in World War 1 was horrifying as many soldiers would say. Chemical gases were used as a physical weapon as much as a psychological weapon. The first major gas attack happened on January 31, 1915 when over 18,000 tear gas shells rained down on the russian lines but as surprising as it may seem the gas did little to no effect on the russian lines as one soldier said “The results left him disappointed” (Pruszewicz, 2015). Even tho the first gasses weren't that effective…

Undoubtedly, the part of the article that grabbed my attention the most would have to be the one describing the types of food they ate. Unlike America, food is not always in abundance there and when it was it was nothing like McDonald’s. The majority of the food that is available is usually very low quality, and in many cases, sometimes unidentifiable. Being both a vegetarian and a dog fanatic, reading through the portion about dog soup made both my heart and stomach feel awfully queasy.…

World War I is seen as the dawn of modern chemical warfare, with multiple chemical agents being used on a large scale. The variety of poisonous gases resulted in 1,240,000 injuries and 91,000 fatalities. Chemical weapons in World War I were primarily used to subdue, injure, and kill enemy soldiers who were in the trenches, against whom the slow moving gas clouds would be most effective. The types of chemical warfare weapons dominated from debilitating chemicals, such as tear gas and the dreadful…
