The traumatizing scenes a man experiences during a plague probably haunt him throughout his life – if he manages to survive. In Jack London’s 1912 novella, “The Scarlet Plague”, London brilliantly narrates the life of an elderly man, Granser who manages to survive the lethal hands of the plague that decimated millions sixty years ago, reverting the once “colossal civilization” (16) to cave-man existence. Granser recounts the emergence of the Scarlet Plague and its catastrophic impact on society…

How the Government Could Create A WILD Animal The Jungle is a book that is trying to send a message to the people. That message is that America can turn people crazy. With all of the jobs and the high expenses with low wages or maybe cut wages. The immigrants having to learn to adapt to this new culture. Which is another weight on top of them while having to deal with unfair treatment. Also the government using the people for a vote, like for example a Political Machine. Government’s unstable…

such well-established species. The presence of domestic cats is also an issue. However, a new development has arisen in which would involve reintroducing the Tasmanian devil back on Australia’s mainland in Victoria’s State’s Wilson’s Promontory National Park. The purpose of this report is to assess how feasible and effective this new strategy will be against successfully eradicating these…

Exotic Animals in Burke County? One night an exotic 40-pound cat named Tyra ran off in downtown Morganton and the owners needed people to help find her. Who knew that you could have an exotic cat that almost looked like a cheetah in Burke County? Did we allow exotic animals at the time? Tyra’s owners had her for four years and as I was not aware that you could have exotic animals in Burke County. Many of you probably don’t know, that the mayor of Morganton did go out and fee the cat and…

Animals in captivity is not a surprising news. In fact, many animals have been domesticated to provide companionship and aid to humans, but we do not think about the consequences of these actions. We have a tendency to ignore some aspects as long as it benefits us. Nature has its own course and have survived even without us. Therefore, we should meddle with things unless it is necessary, for example endangered animals. The bottom-line is that just because we are more intelligent and able than…

Several people think that exotic animals are dangerous, man-eating creatures, like many people would say about sharks or lions. But some see them as harmless, helpless creatures in need of some protection. But the government should allow people to own wild animals, for whatever legal reasons they may have. Now, there are several reasons to think this. Yeah, some people don’t take good care of them and end up getting eaten, but the ones who do take good care of them live happily with their pets…

inhumane because wild animals are not designed to be in captivity. While supporters say the animals are highly benefitted in zoos because they are protected for predators, starvation, or other dangerous threats. Viewpoint #1 The general director of the Wildlife Conservation Society which operates the Bronx Zoo in New York City, Richard L. Lattis, states “Zoos help create support for keeping endangered animals alive in the wild.” Many captive animals would not have the capability to survive…

People should not have wild animals as pets. As stated by “Killer Pets” by Blair Rainsford, “ Many [exotic pets] need special food, space to roam, and lots of attention. Exotic pets are often kept in small cages by themselves. This is cruel, says Coppola”(Rainsford 18). This shows that people usually don’t have the right materials or the amount of time to take care of an exotic animal. Any animal should have the right means to live correctly, even if it is a dog or a lion. In many cases, an…

people want to see and how much revenue they can make. What they fail to understand and should the people is the little creatures that help this earth everyday to keep it up and running. So as they say zoos also helps to teach people about nature and wildlife, why don’t they care about the animals that make up this earth. It also makes no sense for animals to be trained using electric goads if they are there for education and to help…

In National Geographic, the author of the article,“Exotic Pets”, Lauren Slater, presents a graph to show that 66% of exotic animals are owned privately, 28% of the animals are owned by the zoo, and 6% of the animals are owned by the circus. The percentages shown above represent the total amount of exotic pets being held captive without a license or a permit, which is 96%, from 1990 all the way up to 2013. This statement alone gives the following…
