Ivan left the room. Zaroff picked up a sword, recently polished, and handed it to Rainsford. Zaroff drew his pistol and said, “If you can dodge a bullet with this blade, I will let you live.” Rainsford took his stance and Zaroff fired, but not once, but he fired ten times, and Rainsford fell to the floor. Zaroff whispered, “Well it appears you should not have spared me.…

Sylvia and the sportsman walked in silence, until finally they had arrived at the spot where the White Heron rested. The sportsman went into prone and Sylvia followed. She watched as he put a bullet in the chamber of his gun. The sportsman had a smile on his face, but Sylvia was almost in tears. “Why kill such a beautiful creature?” She thought to herself.

Sylvia will never forget this moment, for she will never be able to fly with the White Heron…

The rabbit bandicoot also known as the Biliby is endangered, and has been for eight years. It has been vulnerable to the environment for three years. They are endangered because feral cats and other larger animals hunt them. Also, there is competition between other animals for food. Another reason why they are endangered is because of land clearing and livestock grazing habits the grasslands are disappearing, which is where the Bilibies live. It is important to save these animals because they used to be a very important source of food for native people before they became endangered around the year 1950. Now the Biliby has become a symbol of Australia’s efforts to save its native species. Biliby’s are small they are about 9 to 10 inches long.…
During dinner General Zaroff and Rainsford rush into a detailed conversation about their mutual fondness for hunting. Rainsford points out that he believes the Cape Buffalo, an animal upon Zaroff’s wall, is the most dangerous of animals to hunt. Zaroff presents foreshadowing, by disagreeing with Rainsford and saying the Cape Buffalo is not the most dangerous animal. Zaroff then invites Rainsford to hunt on the island with him, and then begins to tell the story of his past and how he came to the island. It is during this conversation that the climax of the story is reached as Zaroff admits to having to “invent” a new animal to hunt. Although it takes some time Rainsford slowly realizes that Zaroff is referring to hunting humans. This is an ironic situation as Rainsford is sitting before the most gracious of hosts, who has just admitted to a “sport”…
To the extent that the language or history of s 209 is uncertain, this “time honored interpretative guideline” serves to ensure both that there is fair warning of the boundaries of criminal conduct and that legislatures, not courts, define criminal liability.…
Many species today are impacted by threats from changing environments. These threats can pose a great amount of harm to a specific species, which in turn, can ultimately cause it to be endangered. A species is considered endangered when a threat is relatively high and a population is rapidly declining in size. One of the most effective ways to identify an endangered species is through acknowledging habitat loss, introduced species, pollution, and overconsumption. This paper will investigate two endangered species, the Arizona agave plant endemic of Arizona, and the Mexican Wolf (Lobo) of the Southwest.…
This activity will require you to take a close look at the 1973 Endangered Species Act (ESA), which establishes a program for conserving endangered and threatened species and their habitats. For a full copy of the law, see the EPA website.…
The Endangered Species Act mandates federal agencies to turn to The Secretary of the Interior to confirm that any legal actions didn’t affect any endangered species or caused damage to natural ecosystems. The Department of the Interior undertook this law to necessitate discussions only for actions ensued by agencies within the United States or in the ocean, a view that the Defenders of Wildlife disagree upon. They believed that actions subsidized by the Agency for International Development could harm endangered species. Two of its members, Joyce Kelly and Amy Skilbred, provided confirmations that they traveled to foreign countries to analyze endangered species in the past and would make more trips in the future. These confirmations were proposed…
Busybody thought everything was alright until something horrible happened. It was February 27th, no sign of Johnny Dorset. Mrs. Busybody could finally lie down and relax without being disturbed. Everything was starting to seem so peaceful, relaxing, and calm. She was slowly drifting off to sleep. Then, she heard someone yelling as loud as an elephant. Mrs. Busybody sat up to see the worst surprise ever. The terrible and mean Johnny Dorset has come back. She got ran around the house faster than a cheetah. Awe Man! , “I thought I would never see him again”, she said. “Lord, why me? Is this punishment for popping Johnny’s little, red ball or breaking all his sticks so he wouldn’t be able to play that Indian game”, she thought. Whichever one it was please forgive me. All of sudden, a thought struck her head. “I can leave for a few days”. Mrs. Busybody quickly ran to my dresser and pulled out a week’s worth of clothes. What about my two cats’? , she thought. “I’ll just leave them here”. “My cats are missing limbs and ears and they’re beaten up. If they weren’t in such poor condition, I would gladly them with me”. But, Johnny decided he wanted to throw medium sized rocks at them. Poor cats, they haven’t been the same since then. She finished getting her items together. Mrs. Busybody walked outside to the old, raggedy, blue car in the drive way. She started driving and the car started making funny noises. The dusty, slow car broke down in front of a big cabin. This is better than nothing. “At least I’m away from Johnny”, she said with a stupid grin on her…

“I remember it like it was yesterday, my dad had gave me some ear muffs and said that it might be a bit loud, but don’t worry. Then he took out my little miniature ‘kid’ gun, I sat down on the picnic table, then my dad helped me hold the gun in place, he told me what I needed to do rules of the gun and how to use it. And then I finally got to shoot the target, yes, it wasn’t an animal but it still was fun shooting a pop can” Rainsford had told Whitney the night after his birthday.The day when Rainsford, Whitney and Rainsfords father went on a hunting trip all together, Whitney's father couldn't make it because of a business trip. All three of them arrived at there small white cabin surrounded with forests like it was in the middle of…
The Hector’s dolphin, or cephalorhynchus hectori, is the smallest of dolphins. Located in the waters near the South Island, the largest and major island of New Zealand. A primary cause of the decline in population of the Hector’s dolphin is because of bottom-set gillnets, and trawl fisheries in the last four decades. Hector’s dolphins are attracted to trawling vessels so they constantly follow trawlers and often dive into the net which tends to cause death or serious injury. A secondary cause for the decline in population for Hector’s dolphins is toxoplasma gondii. A recent study shows 25% of the population of Hector’s dolphins die from toxoplasma. These two factors putting Hector’s dolphins on the endangered species list for decades now.…
