In No Country for Old Men, Ed Tom Bell a character from the novel states, “It takes very little to govern good people. Very little. And bad people can’t be governed at all. Or if they could I never heard of it.” (64) and he made this statement on the activities of his society at the time.

His rhetoric…

In 1922,…
Imagine having to scrape up millions of dead cats and dogs off the road because the population of strays have gone out of control. Imagine having to explain to your child why that dog on the side of the road doesn’t have a home. This is something no one wants to see or do, which is why animal shelters and humane societies are so important to this country.
