The homes in Bolivia are all different because some people are wealthy and others are poor. The poor people’s houses have grass roofs, while the wealthier people’s houses have shingles.

Alastair Norcross in his article “Puppies, Pigs, and People: Eating Meat and Marginal cases “expresses the moral dilemma based on factory farming. Norcross gives an example of a man named Fred. Fred has to torture puppies in order to be able to enjoy chocolate. This is because when puppies are brutally tortured and then brutally killed they release a chemical called cocoamone. This chemical enhances the taste of chocolate, so Fred is killing puppies for gustatory pleasure. Any morally sound person would be appalled at what Frank is doing to these puppies and that is the basis of Norcross’s article. He is arguing that raising animals on factory farms and what Fred is doing are both morally wrong, because in both cases we are brutally killing the

“Hey honey, where did this pork come from? The store? Some farm?” Good question John, Your eating steroid pigs that are pumped with drugs. Your meat came a concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO). Animals that are in CAFO centers have terrible living conditions. There could be unto 30 pigs crammed into a small space, they walk in their own poop, and they are pumped with drugs to keep them from dying. Some of these pens/jail cells are so crowded that the animals trample each other to death. Think that seems bad enough, well they only do the bare minimum, so it complete legal!
Although George Orwell’s Animal Farm was created in order to mimic individuals as well as occurrences that took place during the Russian Revolution period, it is still possible to gain a comprehensive understanding of the text without a past knowledge of history through the exploitation of human nature’s imperfections. Following the publishment of his novel, Orwell confirmed that his goal in writing this fable was to expose the wrongdoing of the Soviet Union as well as the treachery of the true ideas of the Revolution. Nonetheless, there have been several other examples of events such as the French Revolution that can effortlessly be contrasted against components of the allegory. However, we need not to dig no deeper than to the fundamental faults in human nature to witness the catastrophic consequences that attributes such as hierarchy, propaganda and betrayal have on today’s society.
It is no surprise that dangerous rats are the cause of plagues and diseases, such as the Black Death which killed millions of people in Europe during the Medieval Ages. These adaptive rodents are known for their ability to manipulate through any type of material, and can infest buildings with large numbers. Moreover, all around the world sightings of rats are reported, whether in the country of India or back in the states. These 12 foot long rodents carry severe pestilence around, while also bringing havoc wherever they move. Overall, the explanation of rat infestation occurrences, their danger to human civilization, and the progress to maintain their movement is essential and important to keeping mankind’s society intact.
One reason for this problem was that there was no real inspection of the meat. A quote from “The Jungle” tells of a government inspector checking the hogs for Tuberculosis, “This government inspector did not have a manner of a man who was worked to death; he was apparently not haunted by a fear that the hog might get by before he had finished his testing. If you were a sociable person, he was quite willing to enter into conversation with you and to explain the deadly nature of the ptomaines which are found in tubercular pork; and while he was talking with you you could hardly be so ungrateful to notice that a dozen carcasses were passing him untouched.”# This obviously led to tubercular meat being processed in the packing house. Another problem was the incredible lack of sanitation and the use of spoiled meat, another quote from “The Jungle” tells of how dirty it was in these plants “There would be meat stored in gre...
The meat is sliced paper thin. It is served sparingly (Barber, 179).” Even though jamón has origins of poverty, scarce resources and infertile land, it has become a food that is loved by all. It is produced in a way that is dependent on the ecosystem: the grass and acorns that feed the pigs, the pigs which fertilize the trees and grass. The self-dependent cycle of the dehesa may not be economically viable, but it creates a product that is delicious and rich, and one that can feed many with so little.

Stray animals are dangerous reason being is children or elderly people can be bit while walking or playing around at parks. I live in Mercedes and at one point when I was walking from stars to the high school, and stray dog for no reason started growing at me and my instinct was to run until I got the a building. This can happen to anyone, they can be attacked trying to touch a stray or just simply walking by, or even worse a child can catch a disease. Also owners with their pets are also getting attacked by stray animals because they strays tend to be over protective of their territory, or they just want to fight with the pet of the owner.
