Purebred

Our great nation has an abundance of popular, historic spectator events in which innumerable people attend such as the Super Bowl, World Series, and the US Open. Explicitly, on the first weekend in May, Louisville, Kentucky hosts one of the most traditional events in history. Dating back to 1875, the Kentucky Derby brings in about 170,000 people a year. This past year, I had the privilege of being one of those 170,000 people at Churchill Downs attending the 142nd running of the Kentucky Derby…

animals are their products. If one chooses an animal shelter over a pet store they are saving several animals lives and are making a responsible decision in regards to animals everywhere. A final misconception I will mention is that people think purebred dogs are healthier and live longer than mutts (Myths About Pet Stores). This is not the case, however since pure breeds have limited gene pool they suffer from several issues including things like epilepsy, cancer, respiratory problems, and…

"The Wild still lingered in him and the wolf in him merely slept" (White Fang 234). These words were penned by yours truly, Jack London. Growing up I was in love with the wilderness, and was even more fond of the great stories that came with it. Experiences that will never be forgotten, that I have now passed on to the many generations to come. Nothing can take away from the breathtaking stories of the north, and the lessons that go along with them. In my short lived life, I was always on the…

that affects most noticeably the Brittany spaniel (Pinter MJ, Waldeck RF, Wallace N, & Cork LC, Motor Unit Behavior in Canine Motor Neuron Disease, 1995). HCSMA originated as a spontaneous mutation in the Survivor Motor Neutron gene found in the purebred Brittany spaniel population (Ericsson. A & Rubin. C, 2012). Due to the co-dominate nature of the disease there are slight variation in the phenotype expressed in the diseased population, the homozygous individuals will be affected by the disease…

Animal cruelty is defined by purposely causing harm to an animal. Entertainment and sports like horse racing, dogfighting and circuses are considered to be animal cruelty by Animal Rights activists.

No one knows what life looks like through the eyes of someone else. The world can be a cold, dark place, especially for animals. Animals cannot tell people “that hurts,” or “I’m hungry,” or even “I’m still alive.” Unfortunately, animals suffer everyday. “Neglect and abandonment are the most common forms of companion animal abuse in the United States” (“25 Facts About Animal Cruelty”). Not only is there abuse, there is also animal testing, inhumane treatment in the food industry, and so much…

nation-state - Nation-states play a large role in American history, and are vital to the existence of the United States. A nation-state is the joining of one or many nationalities to create a formal political union, just like the (now) fifty United States of America. If the colonies were not able to unite as one in the beginning, the United States might not exist today, but instead be a continent full of many small countries like Europe. The melting-pot culture that the United States is known…

the mayor’s wife, but she will learn I am just as brilliant as she is. She chuckled. “I knew I would come up with a plan to show how foolish she was acting. Now she’ll plead with me, to be her friend,” Louise was overjoyed with her solution. “A purebred, now that will influence her. Money is the only thing women like Betty understands.”…

Makayla Gernstein3/22/17“Before you judge a dog by [its] breed, maybe judge the dog by [its] owner.”I have two Pit Bulls, whose names are Maui and Khaleesi. They are truly one of the sweetest, sensitive and loyal breed of dogs I have ever met. Believe me when I say it shocks me,probably more than anyone, to see someone act scared when they see them. This is actually what led me to the thought of why are Pit Bulls the only breed to be known as, “The Fighting Dogs”. It had me wondering why every…

coloring but they too suffer the same defects and are referred to in the trade as “throw away tigers.”(Big Cat Rescue) As such, they are often killed at birth because only the white tigers are the big money makers. And because none of these cats are purebred therefore they serve no conservation purpose. This white cats are all made by the crosses between Bengal tigers and Siberian tigers. Scientist have divided tigers into 9 subspecies. 3 of them have gone all extinct, The Bali tigers on the…
