Merriam-Webster’s definition of an angel is “ a spiritual being of higher power and intelligence: one in the lowest rank in the celestial hierarchy”, but “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings”, written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, seems to differ. An angel appears on a beach outside of Pelayo’s house and keeps him captive for their economic advantage. Everyone treats him poorly by branding him to see if he is alive, plucks his feathers, and offers him mothballs because “they were food prescribed to…

Now can this insanity and/or intelligence be lethal? It could be interpreted as many different things but I mean particularly, can intelligence cause fatal mental or physical…

Each year, more than 100 million animals die each year from animal testing. Many scientists vote for animal testing even though it is cruel. In addition, most animals aren’t even put under anesthetic and have to suffer through the pain, fully aware of what is going on. Animals should not be tested on because it is cruel and inhumane, animals’ bodies are not the same as humans, and most experiments with animals are flawed and waste the animal’s life.
