Instead; look at what actually matters, look at the risk of emperor, king, adelie, etc. penguins will become extinct if nothing changes in the near future. These once cute and cuddly looking animals…

For so long, animals have been viewed as resources of humans. Animals have been killed for consumption since the Homo erectus some 1.8 million years ago. Hundreds and thousands of years later, as early as 300 B.C.E, animals were already used for experiments to study bodily functions. Animals were also treated as entertainment and hunting as a sport started as early as 4000 B.C.E. It was in 1828 that the first anti-cruelty law was passed. In the Philippines, it was only in 1998 that Republic Act…

replies through studying it. Then Ishmael begins talking about the Takers and the ways the gods have tricked the Takers. The first way was the Takers act like they are the center of the world but they are not. Second, humans and everything else evolved at the same pace even though humans might feel like they evolved more. Lastly, they are a part of the life laws and are not exempt from them. Ishmael backs this up by telling a story about an early try at flight. The narrator then says that people…

traditions, reenacting national or evolutionary history going certain skills, or just securing a trophy.” It is done in order to meet human needs. Sport hunting is where the most noise is heard from critics. These critics compare deer farms to zoos as they both take animals out of their natural habitat in the wild, and move them to an artificial habitat where humans are involved heavily in their lives.

The dispersion of the Devils is intended to combat decreasing genetic diversity amongst the existing population. Zoos will be an integral part of this as they have the resources and the housing capacity to facilitate the animals themselves.

in the past how people reacted to people who were regarded as mad and the mental institution of Bethlehem which later gave rise to the word bedlam showed how in the past such people could often be viewed in the same way as people would now go to a zoo to watch animals. On a less dramatic note we can see that people such as the former Labour minister David Blunkett were regarded as second rate because of their blindness.

discovering the capabilities of bonobos and chimpanzees making use of sophisticated pre-agricultural tools this potentially changes the way hominin evolution developed. Such usage of tools was once regarded as a particular characteristic of archaic pre-humans. Bonobos were observed performing complex action such as using tools to extract food, or using spears for attack or defense. Bonobos are similar to chimpanzees, but previously bonobos did not show a cultural diversity in use of tools as…

Webster ). It is human nature to desire and dream of living in such a place, where everything is in perfect order with abundant food resources, companions, and equality. Yet, it is also human nature to become self-centered and covetous, which corrupts our minds and leads us to chaos. On this account, achieving a utopic society in the real world is hardly conceivable.

Science furthermore proves that a human's point of view on topics is affected by the…
