Recommended: Implications of Vivisection

11. “…seeing the creature [Leopard Man] there in a perfectly animal attitude, with the light gleaming in its eyes, and its imperfectly human dace distorted with terror, I realized again the fact of its humanity. In another moment other of its pursuers would see it, and it would be overpowered and captured, to experience once more the horrible tortures of the enclosure. Abruptly I slipped out my revolver, aimed between his terror-struck eyes and fired” (Wells 72-73).

Annotation: When a dog is sick beyond healing, many owners would want to take their dog out of misery and kill it. Even though the situation between Edward Prendick and the Leopard Man is different, Prendick sympathizes for the creature and desires to take it out of its misery. …show more content…

Vivisection, according to bing.com, is the practice of performing operations on live animals for the purpose of experimentation or scientific research. This is obviously portrayed in the text by Dr. Moreau’s experiments. Moreau took ordinary animals like apes or pumas and turned them into humans. However, none of these “humans” had the capability of naturally born humans. Vivisection can be seen as cruel, especially when your like Edward Prendick and walk into an vivisection surgery that appears to be done on a human. Even though it was really only done on a puma, it can still be brutish and cruel when vivisection is done on …show more content…

Xenotransplantation, according to bing.com, is the process of transplanting organs or tissues between members of different species. We can see this in some of Dr. Moreau’s experiments where he mixes several animal organs and genes to create a human. Some of these would be M’ling (bear, dog and ox), Hyena-Swine, and the Fox-Bear Witch. Since we can only picture in our head what these creatures look like, we have to assume that organs from different animals were placed in all of them. Xenotransplantation may have been a theory Dr. Moreau had to perfect his “human.”

  • Analysis Of Ragged Company

    For example, the character Timber experienced a tragic event which left his beloved wife, Sylvan, with brain damage, causing her to forget who he was. Her love and support was the driving force in his. Timber says “she’d come home at night and find me there and we’d walk into the house which was our home” (Wagamese, 2009, p. 205). His choice of words convey that the house was only a home when Sylvan was there. When she was taken away from him, he was emotionally homeless. With his wife needing care in an expensive special facility, Timber resorted to selling their belongings and eventually their house, making him physically homeless as well. This, in association with the loss of his wife, caused him to leave his former life. This response is similar to the “fight or flight” response animals and humans have with the presence of stress (Davidson, 2015). Timber chose to flee from his problems as apposed to fight to rebuild his life. With this behaviour, it is not surprizing that he also took up a drinking problem. Similar to the aforementioned Digger, Timber used alcohol as a means to self-medicate. He says about drinking, “it’s all [he] could do because [he] didn’t want to surface to the blackness, the emptiness of [his] life” (Wagamese, 2009, p. 208). Timber’s poor mental health and substance abuse only further contributed to his

  • On The Wings Of This Prayer Analysis

    1248 Words  | 3 Pages

    The dog they rescued is a particularly prominent topic, a vestige of the past civilizations. In defiance of the treacherous environment, the dog managed to survive, a feat that even Lisa, the most cold-blooded of the three main characters, could not help but be “impressed by” (Bacigalupi 61). Therefore, the dog is a symbol of hope for the reader, an animal that is in the extreme, completely out of its element, and yet capable of surviving. As a result, nature’s idea of itself is astoundingly resilient, keeping certain species alive as an attempt to return to the normal state of the world. Even after horrendous trauma the natural world is still capable of a stalwart attempt at reclaiming itself. Accordingly, it is never too late to start fixing the damages and help nature’s cause, before allowing it to escalate to such a degree where the oceans are black with pollution and there is no room left for the humans of today. Chen could not help but notice that the dog is different than them in more than just a physiological nature; “there’s something there” and it’s not a characteristic that either them or the bio-jobs are capable of (64). Subsequently, the dog has something that the evolved humans are missing, compassion. In consequence, the author portrays the idea that the dog

    However, his facade is flawed and he exhibits maniacal behaviors that the thought of hunting man pleasures him. Hunting animals that are one of the most dangerous species on Earth such as cape buffalos or lions or tigers is no longer an amusement to General Zaroff. Instead, he create a new game for his hunt which proclaims “courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason” ( Connell, 224 ). General Zaroff can not distinguish between man and animals and think that his new game brings him pleasure and delightment. He is numb to the feeling of pain and sympathy that is locked up with a steel key that is forever lost.

Almost instantly Rainsford shoots him down with this quote, “ The world is made up of two classes--the hunters and the huntees. Luckily you and I are the hunters.” (Connell) Like the social Darwinists who believe that only the strongest will survive Rainsford has the same kind of thinking. He believes that only the strong will survive and that animals and lower class people have no feelings.
