Hi Urgens Why Did He Kill The Water Buffalo
Hi Urgens,

I agree that if he killed the water buffalo on his first shot it would have been less cruel but then that would defeat Rat's purpose. He's purpose was not to kill the water buffalo, it was to relieve his stress. It was extremely pointless and I believe that he only did it because he was not in the best mental state at that point.

    Wyatt Earp Buffalo Hunting Essay

    Wyatt Earp's buffalo hunting approach was very different then that of "old timers". The "old timers" had a standard way of going about there hunt. The hunter would provide five four-horse wagons, and enough supplies to last several months. They would also bring along a driver, a stocktender, a camp watchmen, a cook, and four skinners. Part of the buffalo hunter's code forbade a hunter from skinning his own kill, so a top-notch buffalo hunter as well as anyone above a skinner would never do something below his level of dignity. The weapon that most hunters choose to use was a Sharp's "Fifty" rifle. The rifle had a long shooting range but had a high cost for ammunition, was heavy, and had to be cleaned every few shots to keep its accuracy…

The Sioux were victimized socially politically and genocidal. The need to develop the western hemisphere of the United States, seen the lifestyle of the Sioux, as savage and a threat to settlers moving west. The government of the United States philosophy was that a good Indian was a dead Indian represented little hope of peace. Though peace treaties were inspired by the American government they held no validity and integrity as they were a means to eradicate the Sioux’s lifestyle. The American perspective in taming the west was to impose boundaries in the form of reservations on the Sioux and take away their freedom to hunt buffalo non-compliant Indians were deemed as hostile and classified an enemy of the United States, this ramification led into the Plains Indian wars.…

    Theodore Roosevelt's Ranch Life And The Hunting-Trail

    Theodore Roosevelt describes what the Western part of the United States is like in his book Ranch Life and the Hunting-Trail. He states that” the whole region is one vast stretch of grazing country, with only here and there spots of farmland, in most places there being nothing more like agriculture than is implied in the cutting of some tons of wild hay or the planting of a garden patch for home use” (Roosevelt, 1). Roosevelt describes the West as being one big vas area of land with hills and plenty of room for animals to graze, and people to come settle down. He also mentions how one can walk for awhile trying to find the perfect place to settle down that is suitable for winter and summer months but it is almost impossible to do so people…

    Civil War: The Buffalo Soldiers

    The Buffalo soldiers were formed by the U.S Congress in 1866. They formed six army units that were made up of African Americans. The all black forces could operate only West of the Mississippi River because many Southerners still had a grudge against free black men and if they saw that they were in the army some people could turn violent. The main purpose that Congress established the Buffalo soldiers was to protect settlers in the West and to maintain the order and enforce the law. Also to lend a hand to settlers in building towns. Their name is said to come from their tough, brave and fierce personalities that the soldiers.…

    The Destruction of Black Elk

    Black Elk Speaks written by John Newhart is a biography of a Native American. In the biography Neihardt takes us thru Black Elk’s experiences as the Wasichus (white man) take over the land he lives on. The Wasichus have always been monsters to the Natives. Young kids see them as monsters that will get you if you misbehave and adults see them as merciless murders, due to the fact that they killed many Native women and children; Wasichus also took away culture and tradition from them. We can see through use of pathos, logos, ethos, and diction that Black Elks attitude toward the Wasichus was resentful.…

    Why Should Andrew Jackson Be Dealed On The $ 20 Bill?

    Why should the United States honor a president who caused immense pain to many innocent people and led our country into a financial panic and depression by putting him on the $20 bill? Andrew Jackson was not the great man that many people learned about. Jackson did many things during his presidency that are dishonorable, such as supporting the Indian Removals, or kicking qualified men out of office to make room for his friends in the government. Even though many people believe he was the people’s president and stood for democracy, we should not be applauding a president that supported discrimination and slavery during his time in office. Andrew Jackson was against the national bank, too, and even went as far as to begin a campaign to close…

    Who Was Andrew Jackson Hero Or Misfit?

    America, the nation started on the idea of a nation free from oppression has a dark often shameful history. The Trail of Tears following the Indian removal act is a perfect representation with direct legislature to prove it. Now I have to say that former president Andrew Jackson was a person I greatly admired and often visited the hallowed statue in New Orleans that stands ever vigilant as a visual tribute the man who stood with few to fight the many and came out victorious. Some historians view Jackson as a very controversial President, However historians will often agree that the Indian Removal Act of 1830 was not popular until, later on in retrospect but at the time seemed to be a viable option.” This area was home to the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Seminole nations. These Indian nations, in the view of the settlers and many other white Americans, were standing in the way of progress. Eager for land to raise cotton, the settlers pressured the federal government to acquire Indian territory”.(pbs) The Indians being moved, had already been pushed out of the coastal regions now claimed by the new Americas and were now being moved again,…

    Horse Slaughter

    The horse is a highly respected animal in United States culture. It has been worshipped and paid tribute to through art, books (Misty of Chincoteague, Black Stallion), movies (Black Beauty, Spirit), and television shows (Mr. Ed). The horse industry is huge in the United States, encompassing everything from rodeos and racing to horses owned for purely pleasure. There have been statues erected of famous racehorses, as well as museums devoted entirely to equines. "Horse culture" is a huge part of American culture. The slaughter of horses for human consumption does not seem to fit into that culture. However, despite initial reservations, many Americans may agree that the slaughter of horses is better than alternatives.…

    The Coyote And The Buffalo Analysis

The culture of the Native Americans that was used in these stories are still alive in societies around the world today.

The movie “Brother Bear” presents the respect for animals that is still alive and appreciated today, as well as many years ago. The way the word works is similar to the way it worked back in Native American times, which is described in the short myth The Coyote and the Buffalo.

    Jim Is Guilty For Killing Animals

    Jim, who feels guilty for shooting down the birds, is encouraged to shoot down the last crow alive. In this scene, Jim’s opinion was not delivered clearly to Bill. When Bill tells him to shoot, Jim quietly refuses but he shoots down the bird anyways. Jim, who is a Mohawk, must’ve been well aware of what it means to kill animals for amusement since majority of the Natives take the lives of living things very seriously and animals usually play important roles in their culture and tradition. Thus, he must have known that it is not right to do such thing but ends up killing the bird. If i was Jim, placed in the same situation, I would have stood up for what is right. Instead of being quiet and soft, I probably had said that it is not right to kill…
