clothing with brands of the slogan “Don’t Mess With Texas.” In the end, George Strait just throws a paper and states to don’t litter and the slogan “Don’t Mess With Texas.” The advertisement is an example of Texas exaggerating their status as a state rather than generalizing Texas as part of the United States because “the four-word, trademark slogan of the state’s litter prevention program often doubles as a Lone Star statement of pride”(Strayhorn 12-13). The quote agrees with the “Don’t Mess…
MARINE POLLUTION The effect that marine pollution has on people’s lives, often goes unnoticed. “Out of sight, out of mind,” is what author Ted Danson said in his book, Oceana. If people knew how their everyday life effected the ocean, they would be appalled. The oceans are dying right in front of people’s eyes, yet they continue to contribute to the ocean’s downfall. Only when you look below the surface, when you really dive deep, do you begin to understand what great peril the oceans are truly…
Presence of carnivores helps to maintain the integrity of ecosystems throughout the world (Soulè and Terborgh, 1999). Many carnivores are capable of altering trophic structure and biodiversity through a process known as top-down control (Elmhagen and Rushton, 2007). Through this, carnivores are able to prevent the overabundance of herbivores. If uncontrolled, an explosion in herbivore population density would increase the grazing pressure that would ultimately threat the survival of the…
If a mother cat is stressed while she is pregnant or if she has received poor nutrition during pregnancy her litter might be prone to stress development and the non-adaptive coping strategies which form the basis of lots of common behavioral problems in cats. Owners might recognize stress in their cats if their behavior changes abruptly. Acute stress can be caused…
every last tasty piece. Ocelot family is made up of an adult female and her young, because once the breeding is done males leave. Females are pregnant for a little over two months before she gives birth in a hollow tree or cave. Female ocelots have litters of two or three darkly colored kittens. The mother protects her kittens, feeds them, and cares for them all by herself. Ocelots' fine fur has made them the target of countless hunters, and in many areas they are quite rare, including Texas,…
There are some people who claims that pitbulls are a vicious breed; however, I would like to say that pitbulls are not a vicious breed. And here are the few reasons why I think pitbulls are not a vicious breed. Some people would agree that pitbulls are nice and caring because it is all on how you raise them. You cannot expect to treat a dog like it is piece of trash, and expect the pitbull to behave and follow orders. That is like yelling at a toddler to stop crying, do you think they are…
Because of this, it is the job of firefighters to expunge wildfires before they become more destructive than they already are. However, simply expunging a wildfire after it starts isn't the best option to prevent them, since it leaves fuels (leaf litter and fallen branches), which can start an wildfire bigger and more extreme than the previous one that occurred. Sometimes, we need to prevent them from starting again, and this is by prescribed fires, or fires deliberately started. While this…
In australia fifty million garbage bags end up as litter yearly. Not only that but in the pacific ocean is a "plastic soup". A sort of giant patch of plastic floating in the pacific ocean that is even twice the size of the united states of america. Not only does the plastic harm the environment, it harms…
Animal rights are defined as giving animals the consideration of their best interest. Weather it’s because they are “cute” or useful to the human race, and meaning that animals are not ours to manipulate. Recognizing that animals have just as much of a right to live on this planet without being threatened by humans hunting them or performing experiments on them. And it is not just wild animals, household pets and livestock are also a major part of animal rights becoming a global issue. The…
I woke up that morning with the sound of glass shattering. I thought I must be imagining things because I lived alone in a small house by Lidtke Mill, but the sound just kept on going. The sound was becoming fant. Like maybe litter pieces of glass were getting thrown up against the wall. I got out of bed to go see what the sound was coming from. I walked slowly down the stairs just so I didn't scare away whatever was down there. But when I got down to the first level of the house I could…
