Thompson also notes that the species have the ability to make different types of vocalization among themselves (Thompson, 2010). I observed this kind of special species for…

The other children called him “Pissing,” which they took from “Piscine.” Eventually Pi decided on a nickname, and when he moved to a new school he trained the teachers and his classmates to call him “Pi.” Pi’s unconscious mind shows how he believes in the similarity between humans and animals, as he basically trains his teachers and classmates to…

There is lot of controversy surrounding the non-human or animal rights. There is much less disagreement on the consequences of accepting that animals have rights.
