Dog has been “man’s best friend” for ages. Around Franklin County, almost everyone owns a dog. Since many owners are farmers, people in the Franklin County area need a dog who will be loyal, can herd livestock if need be, and is obedient to its master.

Sprightly yet independent, the Australian Cattle Dogs are great companions for single people and families alike. Blue Heelers are the all-around best breed of dog in Franklin County.
The term self-control, tends to be associated with behavior and emotions. Most would think of controlling behavior caused by emotion. They think of punching the wall because of anger, or not wanting to cry in public. In chapter 8 of the book “The Social Animal” by David Brooks. Brooks confronts misconceptions in the way people view self-control. Specifically, Brooks argues that self-control is more about what the mind gives attention too than about the controlling the emotion or action. Brooks uses the character of Erica and her tennis career to explain how to have self- control. Brooks explains, “She was reminding herself that she had a say in triggering which inner self would dominate her behavior. All she had to do was focus her attention
The gorillas live mainly in coastal West Africa in the Congo, Zaire, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon. Gorillas live in the rain forest. They usually live on the ground but build nest in trees to sleep in. Gorilla troops keep a 15-20 square mile range which often overlaps the range of other troops. There are three different kinds of gorillas. The eastern lowland gorilla the western lowland and the mountain gorilla. They are herbivores and eat only wild celery, roots, tree bark pulp, fruit, stems of many plants and bamboo shoots. They spend nearly half their day eating.
A puppy mill is a place where people force dogs to reproduce in order to sell the pups to stores, people or anyone else who is willing to buy them so they can make money. Thousands of dogs are made each year by these mills, and because they make more dogs then they can sell an overpopulation of dogs begins to occur. A serious of conflict occurs from puppy mills. Since animals from stores are from breeding mills that means the mills are being supported to stay in business from anyone who buys a puppy from stores. Also since more people are buying from stores, less people are buying animals from a shelter therefore those animals have a higher chance of dying. Puppy mills also do not take care of the dogs whom are in their care. Some of the animals are abused very badly by these places. Female dogs are forced to reproduce every chance they can, and when they get to the point where they are physically no longer able to do so they get killed. There food is contaminated with algae or other bacteria that grows. (DoSomething.org) Also the living conditions they have the
The Brain plays a important role in our body, so in this lab we did a dissection of the sheep brain that is closer to the human brain. The steps we follow our teacher make every body couriose to learne about braine and see it structures before we remove the dura mater.We working in group lab and every body partecipation in the dissection of braine.
Four journalists named Helen Jones, Larry Andrews, Marcia Glaser, and Fred Myers thought it would be a good idea to create a nonprofit organization to help animals that have are treated cruelly by either abuse or when they are left alone. The Humane Society has been helping animals since November 24, 1954(2). Their mission since the beginning has been celebrating animals and confronting cruelty. There are a great number of things that the Humane Society has been doing for the animals, like saving them from people who want to harm them.

Cutuk gives Lance an example of how it would be to see a traveler in the tundra, “Hi we'd say, Com’on up. We got bread! Crazy Joe brought yeast, and we had flour. We've got bread.

On page 207 Cutuk talks about all the things Lance taught him. Shaking hands driving and how to dance with a girl names a few. Lance is helping him fit more into society.
Those with sheep as their spirit animal usually are innocent, in a sense that they are child-like, or gentle. Another possible trait is that they match and accept the norm of society. If it is a negative connotation behind it, sheep can mean that you view yourself as weak, and that your vulnerability could eventually render you powerless to the world. Positively speaking, sheep represent self-limitations, and that you not only understand your limits, but you respect them and know not to push yourself too far. The sheep totem commonly means that a part of you stays within the boundaries of society, family values or both (Sheep Spirit Animal). Overall, sheep as spirit animals tend to lead people to being more gentle and more soft with themselves, others, and the world around
The animal that I chose to research was the Honey Badger. The scientific name of the Honey Badger is Mellivora capensis and it is in the animal class Mammalia. An interesting fact about the Honey Badger would be that they have a very powerful bite. Their bite is so strong, that Honey Badgers can chomp down with enough force to break the shell of a tortoise. The Honey Badger is a fearless, and very interesting animal.

In the introduction to “Excellent Sheep,” the author talks about how college students “sleepwalk” as a college student today I would say that this is definitely accurate. In college, it is so easy to float by and just try and ace a class and be successful without learning as much. I believe we are programmed to think this way in high school because I remember learning one thing and just memorizing as much as I could just so that I could pass without really digesting the information it was pure regurgitation. Now, in that, it does make me look at my education and make me feel as William Dreresiewicz says “cheated”. Looking at what is expected of a student not only in school but in a school as prestigious and well known as Creighton you strive to do well now whether or not that means actually learning or just floating by as far as you can on the regurgitation level is dependent upon A. the student and B. the amount of credits a student is taking. We learn to be alone as well as we possibly can without doing much thinking because our minds are so exacerbated by the amount of work we have to do not only that but learning something and trying to digest the information alone is tiring it rarely leaves one with enough time to contemplate your own thoughts.

Lord of the Flies was written in 1954 by William Golding. The novel itself is about young boys who while on their way to Australia to evacuate Europe during a nuclear crises, crash down on a deserted island. The boys must try and survive long enough to be rescued. The boys go through emotional and psychological changes while on the island. Without adults lead them they decided to create a society with rule but soon order is destroyed and replaced with cruelty and savagery. The novel itself is a contrasts to Coral Island which the kids in the story simply never lose their innocence. Some would say that cruelty human nature and would argue that the island was not the cause but their inner self which the beast symbolizes. The main protagonist ralph understands that without rules that their livelihood is at stake which is why early on, but it was not with piggy recognizing the use of the conch to signal for people that the conch itself represented civilized life. Slowly throughout the book the boys divulge into their aggression. Characters such as jack who already is careless and eager to hunt is the poster child for the turning point where he punished Wilfred for no apparent reason. Him along with roger who at the beginning keeps to himself but succumbs to his inner blood lust. We can see that the book where he is seen throwing rocks at Henry and later he drops the giant rock on piggy. Ralph
Seventy million of lives are claimed by animal testing facilities and millions more survive through the horrific tests, suffering the psychological and physical consequences. The use of animals in experiments at labs that are funded by the government has increased 73 percent in the past 15 years, according to a new study conducted by PETA. The study, in the Journal of Medical Ethics, found the number of animals tested increased from 1,566,994 in 1997 to 2,705,772 in 2012 in testing by the top 25 institutional recipients of National Institute of Health grants.” stated CBS News. With each year, the numbers increase these experiments range from experimenting new household items to medical breakthroughs.
Animal testing is a very sensitive subject for some and for others not much thought goes into it. The tests performed on these animals continue to be horrifying. There are several points to support that, but some animal research has helped in medical situations. Long tests, horrific deaths, horrible laboratory conditions , medical advances and the alternatives all contribute to the changing of animal research forever.
