    As Martin Buber once said, “an animal’s eyes have the power to speak a great language”. As the years go by, numerous animals are becoming extinct by man’s lack of compassion. They used to roam freely, without fear, in the wild, although; with rising population, the wilderness is no longer their home. Therefore, the animals are forced to share their land with uncompassionate humans. One example is the Borneo Pygmy Elephant found in Southeast Asia. Their thriving population has diminished to less than 1,500 in the past years. An analysis of the endangered Borneo Pygmy Elephant shows their characteristics and habitat, what is threatening them, and how they can be saved.…

    The number of elephants and rhinos are declining in nations where animals are housed on national parks and rising in nations where the animals are privately owned and farmed by individuals due to property rights and private goods. Most nations where elephants and rhinos are housed on national parks a common ownership has been established by the government and the responsibility for these animals is not individualized by any one person, thus, the proper care that is needed is not delivered. However, in nations where individuals are allowed to own elephants and rhinos, responsibility is clear and maintenance is adhered. Nations were there are individual owners the stakes for healthy animals are much higher and necessary.…

    I decided to take a chance on Sara Gruen’s novel Water for Elephants, after reading the rave reviews of the book posted on several social media sites by friends and acquaintances. The truth is, it is summer and I am desperate for a distraction away from my recent obsession with Grey’s Anatomy reruns fueled by Netflix’s instant queue. So I purchased the book and slowly began retreating from my computer screen that stole 42 minutes of my day as I sat captivated by Dr. Owen Hunt’s passionate kissing. Moreover, my favorite animals are elephants, so from the title I was intrigued.…

    The words “family” and “families” are used for a total of 12 instances, while “herd” and “herds” total 15 instances. The constant, near interchangeable use of “family” and “herd” to refer to elephants and their pack is a deliberate linguistic choice that Siebert makes to psychologically prime a reader to associate the humane feelings they subconsciously attach to the word “family” with the term “herd” that is used for a pack of elephants. This is the use of pathos. Consequently, the linguistic choices help Siebert to establish a link between the reader and the subject of the article, the elephants.…

    Both elephants and humans are alike in many ways and, therefore, should of have empathy toward each other’s lives. Aside from the fact that both man and pachyderm are mammals, their culture’s and the structure of their society are strikingly similar. In the short story, “An Elephant Crackup,” Siebert provides examples where human life and elephant life can relate to one another: “Young elephants are raised within an extended, multitiered network of doting female caregivers that includes the birth mother, grandmothers, aunts and friends (Siebert 529).” This greatly relates to human society in which females are also the primary caretakers of their offspring. Family is important in the elephant culture as well as in human culture. The fact that humans are breaking the ties within family bonds has caused elephants to…

    Africa is in the middle of a growing epidemic elephant slaughter. This growing slaughter began in 2002 and is currently happening till this day. Conservation groups share that elephant poachers are killing tens of thousands of elephants every year, which is more than at any time since the “Ivory Wars” has started. Recently in Garamba National park, Paul Onyango says that he has never seen anything like this before. 22 elephants were killed with a single shot to the head, including several young elephants as well. The reasons for the slaughtering is that poachers sell the animals tusks which have ivory in them.…

    A young Michael Byers in great detail states that “The stuffed African elephant on its circular dais in the rotunda was composed of billions of skin cells and tiny cilia, and its ivory tusks wore an unfalsifiable brown patina of age.” (73) Young Michael Byers uses very descriptive words to share his admiration with us. How amazing is what he is witnessing, the elephant is really old and the brown patina stands as proof of its age. But as an adult he merely says that “There were ten million African elephants in 1930, and that now there are only thirty-five thousand” they were once great but know they are almost gone.…
