cram into 500 pages. This book has everything; happiness cults, dead jazz musicians, parallel time and dimension travel, and so much more.

are from various types of animals (editors of Britannica encyclopedia). Some of its characteristics are from cuckoos, turkeys and chickens. The hoatzin also gets some of its inner parts from cows, like its digestive system. Because of this, some people call it a “flying cow” but it is not actually a flying cow (Billerman). Since it is such an unusual animal, scientists have put the hoatzin as the only bird in its order, family genus, and species (editors of Britannica encyclopedia). The hoatzin…

make a 40-inch coat, it takes about 200 chinchilla`s or 16 coyotes, 60 mink ,or 20 foxes. The biggest fur producer is China. They slam animals against the wall to “stun them” but they are skinned alive. It takes them about to 20 minutes to die from a slow painful death. This is a very inhumane way to skin animals. Animals are protected by law, they have to be unconscious when getting killed or skinned. Even though it is the law, they are usually conscious. Chickens are legally not protected,…

that should be definitely considered for recreational use. Its potential positives heavily outweigh the negatives. We have so many marijuana users in our country that if we legalized it and regulated it nationwide, it would be considered the “cash cow” of the United States. We have so many struggling economic cities and states in our society that could really use the business. A city like Detroit that has filed for bankruptcy twice could capitalize graciously off this new potential market like…

Ethical Treatment of Animals, has claimed over the years of the immoral removing of horns for bulls and cows alike. The scientist answered back with hornless cows that don 't need to be de-horned. Gene tampering has been happening for centuries. Maybe not in a lab but on the fields of farmers. Farmers have been taking the desired traits in plants and animals alike and then bread them accordingly. Cows never gave so much milk before and the meat wasn 't always so tasty. Farmers have been using…

In both cases, each event serves as a major distraction to the characters’ main journey. In O Brother Where Art Thou?, a man named George “Babyface” Nelson despises cows and kills the cows that he sees. He eventually gets caught by an angry mob and is killed. A paralleled event in The Odysseus is that Odysseus’ company killed the cow of Helios, the god of the sun. The members who have partaken in this act are divinely punished with death by the power of…

The Florida Manatee, aka Sea Cow, or West Indian Manatee, is found in 7 to 10 feet of water in the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean during spring, summer, and fall (National Geographic, 2016). Later, in the winter you can find them near power plants, and in natural spring water that sustains temperatures above 68 degrees Fahrenheit because manatees cannot live in water below this temperature. This fascinating herbivore can live in salt water and fresh water. The endangered Florida…

sometimes ask themselves is a zombie apocalypse possible in real life? Whether it’s corpses rising from the dead or the spread of an infection, the human race can fade away in the most unexpected way. The closest people have seen to a zombie is through Mad Cow disease spreading to humans after eating the diseased meat. Often times people are worried more about surviving through the whole thing or finding a cure rather than actually becoming infected themselves. If a zombie apocalypse were to…

Hopkins begins with praise of God creating poly-coloured, poly-shaped, poly-natured things created by the Supreme Creator. God has created the “couple-colour” sky like the double colour cow. He has created the fresh water fish, trout with pink-dots on the back. The fallen chestnut is reddish brown like the hue of glowing fire. The Divine Architect also crafted landscapes isolated into separate plots: green pasture, brown uncultivated lands…

farms is soiled and no longer fertile and woodlands will be destroyed in order to make the factories bigger. The air around the factory farms are very unhealthy. They give the animals, mainly the cows, low quality grain-based feed. Their bodies are not made for this type of “food” so this causes the cows to have chronic indigestion which leads to high methane emissions. Factory farming accounts for 37% of methane emissions. Methane has more than 20 times the global warming potential of CO2 (11…
