Atlantic right whale. Fewer than 350 animals. Given such a small gene pool‚ scientists fear for its survival. One possible solution may be to reinvigorate the northern whale’s genes with those of its more successful southern counterpart off South Africa. Recent reports of pregnant North Atlantic right whales killed by ship strikes off the north-eastern seaboard of the US do not augur well for the species.

Killer Whale Essay The killer whale‚ also known as an orca‚ is known to be the largest dolphin. Killer whales population is decreasing every year‚ mostly due to them being held in captivity. Whales in the wild tend to live longer and reproduce more often to healthier offspring‚ which is why we should leave them there. I can’t argue with the fact that “Zoos and aquariums provide access and a vital connection to the world of wildlife and our environment …” (Nightingale) and supposedly that they help

that he was rescued by a whale‚ after his canoe was lost in the sea. He rode the whale and founded the Maori people‚ and from that day the tradition exists: an eldest son is the Chief of the tribe and the leader. Once deep within the ocean‚ a herd of whales was responding‚ and when the whales began stranding on the beach‚ this seemed to be a signal of an apocalyptic end to his tribe. Until one person prepares to make the sacrifice to save the people...the Whale Rider. “Whale Rider” shows emotional

Movie analysis The Whale Rider Together with Yavaraj Athur Raghuvir I watched the movie called The Whale Rider which deals with the issue of cultural restrains both as an individual and as a society.

By tradition the heir to the leadership of the Maori tribe has to be the first born son- a direct patrilineal descendant of Paikea. The Maori people faces a crisis as the current

The Indian teaches the priest a lesson by doing exactly what is expected from a true believer. The message of the whole short story is that of what a true believer does to keep believing. Church‚ mass‚ the day dedicated to the creator‚ are all examples of what most of the people do every Sunday;

Cow and Pig Manures While cows eat many of the same plants eaten by horses‚ weed seeds do not survive in a cow’s digestive system. Cattle (along with goats‚ sheep‚ deer‚ and some other animals) are ruminants that have a system of two stomachs to double-digest their food. Cattle manure is often collected as a slurry‚ does not have bedding materials mixed in with it‚ and will break down easily. For these reasons‚ cow manure is better than horse manure in a compost pile. Nitrogen level is lower than

April 2015 Are The Cows Safe? To live in a world where safety is defined as torture‚ is a poor world to live in. Arguing that this is exactly the opposite is denying what is clearly seen before you. As a cattle producer‚ many are labeled with the unfortunate term abuser. Many animal friends call those who produce the grocery store’s beef this labeled name‚ the truth however is just the opposite. The so called abuse is just safety precautions for not only cow‚ but also for the cow raiser. The proof

Saving the Whales When I think about the ocean‚ I think about all the animals that live in it‚ including the whales. Whale hunting has been going on for decades. These huge ships go out into the sea and capture whales; they claim they are capturing them for research. What kind of research exactly? I do not know. One article I read on the issue said that the whales used for the research end up being a meal more times than not. In other words‚ they capture the whales‚ do their “research” and then
