Kitten

I think that the accomplishment that made me feel like I was truly on my way to becoming an adult was my admittance to Duke University's Talent Identification Program (TIP). Each student gained admittance to the program based on their scores on the ACT or SAT. Once accepted, I got to choose an academic course that I found interesting and live for three weeks each summer on a college campus and attend classes for about 8 hours each day. Throughout my three years at TIP, I learned how to be more…

What YOLO means to me What if you had been told you only had 6 months to live? What would you do? How would you spend it? Would you right your wrongs? Would you have regrets?What YOLO means to me is actually living every single day rather than just sitting there getting through the day. YOLO sums up living every day as though it's your last. And living this way ends up with a humble way to look back on your amazing life and adventurous decisions. YOLO is almost a philosophy telling everyone…

testing products on animals is not necessary. In my opinion, if you wouldn't use it on yourself you shouldn't test it on animals. If you're putting stuff in products that you feel the need to test on animals first, then maybe we shouldn't be using those damaging things on ouself. Animals all over the world are being treated wrong and held in captivity for product testing and it's become part of their daily lives to be hurt and even ‘tortured’ with all these different products. Most companies…

unforeseeable nature of my esophagitis, in particular, I believe I possess the tenacity to manage any environment. For example, I have resolutely undertaken demanding decisions, such as locating housing and veterinary care for often frightened cats and kittens in my volunteer duties. In these situations, calm strength combined with compassion is the most effective strategy. Likewise, public events at WCVE and my after-school/weekend jobs have often presented me with equally unanticipated…

Should You Spay and Neuter Your Pets? How many offspring are cats able to have in one year? Cats are able to have three litters a year and with possibly 4 to 6 kittens per litter (Burke Connie). I know that might not sound like a lot, but theoretically a cat and her offspring are able to produce an outstanding 420,000 cats in seven years (Burke Connie). Most people have seen stray cats and dogs running around which causes an overpopulation of unwanted pets. Most of them will be euthanized and…

Yorgos Lanthimos is the Greek auteur director of Dogtooth (2009), Alps (2011), The Lobster (2015), and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017). The common themes, or worldview, include cynicism and tragedy directed towards traditional family structures. Also, existential questioning of society. For example, The Lobster, Lanthimos’s English-language debut, explores a dystopian future in which legislation requires single individuals to obtain a romantic partner within forty-five days or become an…

Big cats are some of the most beautiful animals on the face of the planet. Their strength and agility are stunning. Yet, in spite of these attributes, many big cats have been faced with a variety of obstacles that have hindered their healthy lifestyles. The Florida panther has been especially affected by these obstacles. In the November 1997 issue of National Parks, Yvette La Pierre’s description of the Florida panther in her article entitled “On the edge: Florida panthers, which once roamed the…

laboratory environments, severe pain and frequently deadly experiments are inflicted on these animals. In these tests “animals are infected with diseases that they would never normally contract, tiny mice grow tumors as large as their own bodies, kittens are purposely blinded, rats are made to suffer seizures…”5 These animals spend their lives in fear, deprivation, isolation and misery because these tests cannot be done without causing pain and in most cases, death. Effects from these tests…

curiosity and apprehension I possessed at the time. I bent my knees down to it, and after a few more moments of consideration, it began to approach me. The cat in question, would be subject to debate as to whether It would be appropriate to consider it a kitten. It’s gangly, underfed appearance may have taken off a few weeks of appearance on it, yet the three notches on its left ear, each formed differently than the other, spoke of some experience. It’s matted, wet, fur was in in patches of…

To begin with, the view that Balko has as to why the force should be wasting a ton of money on rescuing kittens, friendlies neighborhood beats, or anything that is important to society, other than using the money for the military. The police department has changed through the years, and Balko mentions those changes through the years has affected the way we operate today. The police were very difficult through the years, they are now willing to kill “innocent people”. The police is taking out…
