sources and their proximity to roads and traffic. The introduction of other species such as large packs of dogs also affect this ecological climate. By pursuing them to the point of exhaustion, these packs have hunted and killed many cassowaries. While feral pigs also pose the threat of competition by sharing the same food sources as the cassowary, along with being highly destructive creatures (name, date). These animals are also of great cultural significance to the indigenous peoples from…

When living in Texas, I did the Trap Neuter Return program, where you catch feral cats, and you go to the vet specified where you get the cats fixed, free of charge, after they’re fixed, you bring them back to where you got them, or relocate them.

Even while being at school, I’ve offered my time to my community, by joining Key Club. This club taught…

because they are easier to take care of, and that they require less attention than a dog.

Bad quality fences and infrequent musters meant that many horses escaped (Dawson, 2005). Machinery replaced horses and people also abandoned them (Australian Brumby, 1995).
