    Although there have been many animal advocates protesting against SeaWorld, there are other people who don’t mind the Orcas being at SeaWorld. “Shamu the show and the marine parks’ collection of orcas have been inextricably linked to SeaWorld since the San Diego park’s origins more than a half century ago” (San Diego Union-Tribune 1). The killer whales have been the face of SeaWorld for many years. The Orcas are one of the main reasons people go to Seaworld. Shamu is the famous name that all the Orcas are known as, because of the captive killer whale that appeared at shows in SeaWorld San Diego in the 1960’s. “She was the fourth orca ever captured, and the second female, after her death, the name Shamu continued to be used in SeaWorld…

    During the years before the Civil war, many northerners charged the slavery was incompatible with a rapid economic growth. There was clear evidence that slavery was profitable for individual planters. A number of people felt that slavery was wasteful and inefficient, that it devalued labor, inhibited urbanization and mechanization, thwarted industrialization, and stifled progress. Northerners associated slavery with economic backwardness, soil exhaustion, low labor productivity, indebtedness, and ineffectively growth of economic and social.…

    These animals may have different habitats and they might be different animals but they have much more in common than you think. Humans started both of these animal issues, by not thinking about the habitats of these animal. They brought them to place where they didn’t know how to live and so they ended up destroying the environment around them. A good example is the goldfish. Their owners threw the goldfish into ponds and rivers, which was not their natural environment. Since this new environment did not have the things they were used to, they ate up all the native fish in the ponds and rivers. Now the native fish were dying, and the goldfish became huge and took up…

    I do not subscribe to the fashionable notion of moral equivalence between all deeply-held beliefs. I believe in the rights of the individual over the collective. I believe democracy is better than dictatorship, both morally and practically. Not necessarily democracy as we or the Americans or the French practice it, but the idea that in every possible practical way, you should let people make their own decisions, and if these decisions need to be circumscribed in any way, then you should only do it with the explicit approval of a majority of the people in question. And above all that a people must be able to change governments and leaders without resorting to force.…

    A kangaroo bounds across the rusty-red windswept outback; the setting sun, glowing a brilliant red, casts a shadow that grows longer and longer as the kangaroo continues on it path. This iconic picture of Australia is used across the world to promote the country. Compare this image to the image of the Midwest; rows of corn that stretch for as far as the eye can see, with an occasional deer running from field to field across the small country roads. These descriptions paint a picture of both countries that is not only unique, but fundamentally different from the other. In addition, it is not just the environment of the two that are different; it is the very way the people act and shape their country which differ. There are a massive number…

    I have always wanted to work with animals for a career. I read a book called “Born Free” by Joy Adamson. This book is about a family who took care of a lion since it was a cub and how they released the lion back into the wild when it was ready to fend for itself. Then, a few years later the family went back and visited where they released the lion, the lion actually noticed them and came to see them. Throughout this book, you could say that the lion, the family, and the reader were all rescued. Lions have been my favorite animal since as long as I can remember. How cool would that be to have a relationship like that with a lion? Or any other animal for that matter? I’ve seen videos of people caring for animals and animals caring for people…

    Weight must be more evenly distributed in a terrestrial animal, as it is not supported by water. So since the dolphins and whales live underwater, they will feel lighter due to the water mass or volume. Because that volume is higher than their mass or proportions, they can easily move. But for a animal in terrestrial, since they do not live underwater but on land, the mass or volume of the land is lower than theirs. So their body size is heavier than mammals that live underwater.…
