Rikki Tikki is a very nice character most of the time, but sometimes he can be rude. Teddy’s family brought Rikki Tikki into their house and there was still times when he was kind of rude. Although he is rude, he is just an animal so he wouldn't know any manners. So, it is technically not Rikki Tikki’s fault, but he is still a rude animal sometimes. When he is in the house, he snoops around and gets into their business a lot. He went outside to lay down, but instead he got up to look around the whole house without asking. While he was snooping, Rikki Tikki managed to get ink on himself which would have gotten all over the house as he kept walking around. He also got into their bathtub, and being an animal, he has germs on him from outside

    In the resolution, Rikki- Tikki kills Nag in the bathroom during the night, and prepares himself for the now enraged Nagaina. With the thought in his mind that Nagaina would be guarding her eggs behind the melon bed, Darzee’s wife creates a diversion, and Rikki smashes all but one egg. “Rikki had found the cobra’s nest and had crushed, all but one, of the deadly eggs” (Ross 19:04). Kipling states that, “Teddy and his mother and father were there at early breakfast, but Rikki-tikki saw that they were not eating anything. They sat stone still, and their faces were white. Nagaina was coiled up on the matting by Teddy's chair, within easy striking distance of Teddy's bare leg, and she was swaying to and fro, singing a song of triumph.” and continues with, ‘"Son of the big man that killed Nag," she hissed, "stay still. I am not ready yet. Wait a little. Keep very still, all you three! If you move, I strike, and if you do not move, I strike. Oh, foolish people, who killed my Nag!"’ (Kipling 154). Although, be that as it may, the song of triumph that the movie says is “Son of the man that killed Nag, if you move, I strike, and if you do not move, I strike! Oh, foolish people!” (Ross 19:30). So, to wrap up, both of the mediums claim that Rikki- Tikki- Tavi smashed all of the eggs except one, and that Nagaina is at the veranda, wound up and ready to kill. The song of triumph that the wicked snake sings however, is not a

  • Animal Cruelty and Interpersonal Violence

    2006 Words  | 5 Pages

    Social researchers, psychological researchers and criminological researchers alike have all applied the MacDonald triad theory to explain violent crime against humans. The triad theory simply uses three main variables, enuresis, pyromania, and animal cruelty during childhood to explain aggression that graduates to violent crimes against humans in adulthood. This research only looks at methods of animal cruelty used, and age of onset abuse. By identifying animal cruelty in childhood and adolescent children findings can be used as an indicator of adult violence and in turn develop the grounds for intervention and prevention. This research is replicated from studies done primarily by Hensley and Tallichet. In the early 1990’s Hensley and Tallichet researched and examined different aspects of animal cruelty and wrote several articles based on the same sample taken from inmates surveyed at both a medium and maximum security prisons in a southern state. According to Tallichet & Hensley (2008), the assertion that youthful animal abusers graduate to later aggression against humans, known as the “graduation hypothesis,” has become more commonly accepted by clinicians, social scientist, law enforcement, and animal advocates alike.

    “Animal Entertainment” refers to any animals used to act, perform, or fight for the enjoyment of humans. zoos, circuses, and bullfighting are all examples of animals used for entertainment.

If one pays close attention at the circus, for example, it is visible how these animals are treated. Trainers threaten tigers with a whip and often hit elephants with metal on their legs. These techniques are inhumane and best explain why animals should not be used for entertainment. The use of animals for entertainment is a form of animal abuse because of the way the

    Animal-rights advocates say the rule would make it easier to shut down unscrupulous commercial operations that confine breeding females at length, depriving them of food, water and veterinary care and leaving them outdoors to freeze in the winter and roast in the summer as they give birth to litter after litter of profitable pups- (Chebium). Animals don’t have a voice; people have to be the voice for them. Animals have no way to help themselves because people make them do what people want them to. They cannot talk back to say that they do not like or want to do what people make them do, people have to go off on what is right. Animals are living creatures they need food, water, and to be taken care of or they could die. People take advantage of animals because people look at them and think since they are not human their lives are not important. When we think they are not worth anything people start neglecting animals.

    Some believe that Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was seeking revenge on the snake, making him a vigilante. He did kill the snakes in revenge for what they had done to who he loved, but he did this to protect himself and others. Rikki would have never gone after them to be evil, but because it was “every mongoose’s business in life to fight and eat snakes,” (Kipling 125). So not only is it a natural instinct, but Rikki only attacked the snakes who proved to be harmful. By doing this he saved the lives of three humans and countless animals in the

    The issue that has been raging for over many years is if animals should be owned by humans. This mainly concerns zoos, private owners and other facilities that hold animals. The public saw this issue and wanted to address it. Big organizations such as PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) are the ones who are mainly active in this dilemma. The people who are also interested in this issue are those who fit into the category of any side of the argument. Other people and organizations, who are interested in this topic, are zoos or animal wildlife parks. People of the public were interested in this issue, which is why there so many organizations and debates for the issue of animal cruelty. Zoos also promoted interest for this issue in the public, due to the high amount of visitors. There are two main viewpoints in this argument and one in the middle of both. One side is for animal being kept in zoos, facilities or owned by humans in general. The other side argues that animals should not be kept by anyone because they are nobody’s to own. The middle ground between the two points of view believes that only some people and facilities are allowed to take care of animals (basically those who are qualified).

    People seem to look at animals as a source of their own entertainment. When people go to the zoo or the circus, many do not seem to wonder if the animal is happy or not. They only worry about being entertained after all, that is why they paid to see animals in cages or doing tricks. People may not see it, but animal cruelty does not only happen in homes it also happens in circuses, zoos, and labs. It can take place anywhere, and it can happen all over the world. Many people use animals as transportation, food, and entertainment, and not once do they look at the animal’s face and think, “is this right?” No, instead they kept treating animals as if they are some sort of object that belongs to them. Animals do not have a voice to speak up for themselves to let people know that they are being treated wrong. Many people tend to overlook animal cruelty because to them it does not seem like the animals are being hurt. Animal cruelty is anything that can cause harm to the animal, whether it physical or psychological. It occurs for many different reasons, but none of them are right. It is a worldwide issue that seems to be overlooked. People should educate themselves about animal cruelty because it can help to decrease or eliminate it.
