He says to Prince Zuko, “If I go with you, will you promise to leave everyone alone?” which shows that he is willing to risk his own life for the safety of those he was chosen…

However, through direct parallels with human behaviour, Chua represents the flaws on the human condition through an extended metaphor, personifying goldfish.

rapidly killing off, such as bison and whales, life would be much more difficult. Since then, there has been a great change in the way people treat their important earthlings. While many animals were victims to the American people in the 19th…

It is not just these animals who must live in these kind of situations, but sea animals are forced into tiny tanks where they will remain there for the rest of their lives. Keeping animals in captivity for our own use is infringement of an animal’s right to be free from human abuse. The crazy thing is that even in their own environment these poor and defenseless animals are hunted down and used for our own purposes. Sharks, for example, are hunted down for their fins and only their fins. Sharks…

animals. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the reading. He thinks predators are the most important cause of declining sea otters population. He believes orcas will hunt this small prey because of there is not exist large mammals like Whale in that area and they have to use these small animals as their food source.

Re "Hooked on a Myth," Oct.20,2015: Victoria Braithwaite claims that fish feel pain. I absolutely agree with Braithwaite. Some people might think of fish as dumb animals,because they don't show much emotion when a hook is in their mouth or a spear is thru their heads. But this doesn't mean that fish cannot feel pain.
