Louisiana State Rep. Dodie Horton introduced legislation today that would ban roadside rabbit sales in Louisiana. The “Bunny Bill” was inspired by Haughton resident Lou Ann Holley, the owner of the only rabbit shelter and sanctuary in northwest Louisiana. Holley explained that since starting the shelter seven years ago, she has taken in dozens of abused rabbits due to roadside sales gone wrong.
The proposed law prohibits a person from selling any rabbit on the shoulder of the road of any state, local, or interstate highway and provides health, food, and water maintenance requirements for stores, shops, and others offering domestic rabbits for sale. A violator of the proposed law will face a fine of not more than $100, or imprisonment for
not more than 30 days. When asked about how other legislators may tease her for such legislation, Rep. Horton Stated “I have thick skin, I’m not bothered by it. I’m here to serve my constituents.” Rep. Horton prides herself on being a relentless leader that will do whatever she can to assist those who live in her district. When Ms. Holley told the story of Roz, a rabbit who was dropped off at her sanctuary after the previous owner attempted to starve the animal to death because he did not want it anymore, Rep. Horton knew that she had to act. Rep. Horton hopes that “Breeders would look at this change as an opportunity to develop a better way of selling the rabbits they raise. And with that, the risks of neglect, injury and even owner-surrenders to shelters will decline.” Rep. Horton was elected to the District 9 House seat in 2016, which was vacated by her former boss, Henry Burns. Horton prides herself on being an aggressive problem solver and a relentless advocate of the constitution. Rep. Horton’s main focus this term is to pass legislation that will benefit families that have children affected by mental illness.
In 2000, Delwin Foxworth was beaten and set on fire outside of his North Chicago home. Foxworth survived the attack but died two years later in a nursing home. Marvin Williford was arrested and convicted for the murder in 2004 and was given an 80 year life sentence in prison. Williford’s defense attorney David Owens is requesting a retrial for the case because of the absence of Williford’s DNA profile in the DNA samples that were taken from the crime scene. Additionally Owens makes the argument that the eye witness testimony of a woman who was present during the attack was unreliable. The woman states that she clearly saw Williford and two other assailants commit the crime, but Owens and Geoffrey Loftus, a professor of psychology at the University

This was passed through a rider inserted by Senator Burns. The bill forces the Bureau of Land Management “to sell "without limitation" every captured horse that is 10 or older or has proved unadoptable” (Murr, 51). Howard Crystal, a lawyer for the Humane Society adds that " [the bill] consigns thousands of horses to death," prompting horse advocates for a more humane solution to the overcrowding of horses in current government management. Also, to manage the excess horses, the BLM also has debated whether to induce euthanasia on the horses. However, due to backlash to animal activist communities, the BLM are inconclusive on using lethal

White tailed deer are the largest game animal in North America. This is due to their over abundance and annoyance to farmers. An average of 300000 deer are hunted down each year. A tragedy has been another 3000 are hit by cars every year. Many human efforts have been made to prevent these accidents, such as fencing and deer repellents near freeways, but many seem to think that hunting and controlling the population is the best way.
While the direct job, has rules against the Bunnies and their customers having a relationship these rules are not regulated correctly. After all, Steinem actually remarks about a Bunny that was fired for turning down a customer on a date. While inside the business, the Bunnies are constantly harassed about coming to meet their customers in hotel rooms and about their appearance. The prostitution does not end once their shift ends though, while walking home one evening exhausted and belittled, a taxi driver waves $4 around as if a Bunny should sell herself to him. When Steinem shakes her head in disbelief at his behavior, he actually remarks, “You work here don’t you”, as if it is expected of the Bunnies to be open to
In both their old warren and on their journey, the group of rabbits encounters urban development and the city life which relentlessly interfere with their plans. The inciting point is the cause of sub-division development ("Literature in Brief Information about Watership Down.") and humans post a notice in the field where the rabbits live that says:
All diseases and disorders are categorized by a set of symptoms, or signs that are indicative of certain diseases or disorders. Thus, symptoms are important when diagnosing a person. They serve as a communication tool between the clinical psychologist and the client. When detecting symptoms of a person, it allows the clinician to understand the client’s physical, emotional, and mental discomforts. Using the symptoms reported by the client, the clinician can then determine what the client’s clinical diagnosis is.
In the year 1977, Daniel Everett, an American linguistic professor, came to Amazonia to live with the Pirahãs. His mission was to convert them into Christianity and bring God into their lives; instead, they converted him and Everett became an atheist. Everett brought his family, his wife and two children. The Pirahã were a tribe of Brazilian native Americans living deep in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. There were approximately 700 Pirahãs living in several villages spread throughout the Maici River, but communities varied depending on whether it was a dry or rainy season. Everett was living in a community of 20 people in the rainy season, and 80 people during the dry season. They would canoe up and down the Maici River to visit one another,
