Examples Of A Speech At The Battle Of Hannibal
Welcome, my fellow Romans. Today I am here to remind you of the horrible things the Carthaginians have done to us.They are weak now, but we must remember how Hannibal the wretched general brought his army and elephants all the way across Spain, Gaul, the Pyrenees, and Alps into Rome, lost 10,000 men and 36 elephants just to fight us. Do you remember how he easily defeated an entire Roman army at the battle of Cannae in 216 BC? How he traveled around Rome, and beat us in battle after battle? But we are smarter. Hannibal was unstoppable in Rome, so the great Roman army attacked Carthage, in 202 BC, weak without its army and general. So, Hannibal went home and was finally defeated by general Scipio. However, Carthage is not yet gone. I have heard

At first she wrote mainly about how she was enjoying her time, posted some pictures, and wrote about missing home, the things she thought she should be writing about.

    As stated before, the previous ban on horse slaughter in America expired in 2011 under President Obama. This ban made the slaughtering of horses in America illegal, however it still allowed horses to be shipped overseas to foreign countries to be slaughtered. This ban was never removed, it just simply expired. In 2015 a new bill to ban horse slaughter was introduced to congress. This bill is called The Safeguard American Food Exports Act, or (SAFE). This act would alter many acts such as the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act, making all horse parts unsafe. This act in addition would also outlaw the export of U.S. horses and horse meat bound for slaughter and human consumption. Horse meat is most popular in France, Belgium, Italy, and Japan.…
