Hence, this range from the plane, the jungle and animals to the geographical features such as the waterfall. The second meaning of nature is the essence of something. The tiger mauling on Katy's boyfriend is showing the essence of a tiger being predatory. Also, the alligator preying on Katy along the river banks and striking from shallow waters. Plus, fireflies gathering in swarms and flashes all …show more content…

Politics are related to the animal rights and cruelty in relation to animal actors as stated by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Nonetheless, Katy rebutted with the American Humane Association’s (AHA) approval that no animals were harmed in the making. Parity is absent as animals are unable to voice out their views. Hence, humans have the upper hand against animals. The least humans could do to even out parity is taking care of the animals in terms of adequate food and shelter. Progress is done by PETA in constantly reviewing what the music industry offers both positively and negatively, acting as a voice for animals in standing up for their rights, raising awareness and educating knowledge to the general public. Ranking from the largest power, players involves Katy Perry, AHA, PETA, The Serengeti Ranch, Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden and the animals. Transactions between different players are where profits come into play such as the Serengeti Ranch and Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden profiting from Katy Perry as she uses the physical environment and animals in exchange for money.

    Perceptions of the natural world have fluctuated throughout humanity’s short time on this earth, going in and out of style as societies and technologies have grown and died. As is the the very nature of literature itself, literature and its authors have managed to capture these shifting views, expressed and illustrated by the art of written word. Naturally, the literature chosen for us to read based on this fluid theme of nature encompasses an array of perspectives. One of these views is that nature is sublime and above all else, a reflection of all that which is perfection. Another is that nature is cold, uncaring, and indifferent to the vanities of humanity.

    In “The Fish” by Elizabeth Bishop, the narrator attempts to understand the relationship between humans and nature and finds herself concluding that they are intertwined due to humans’ underlying need to take away from nature, whether through the act of poetic imagination or through the exploitation and contamination of nature. Bishop’s view of nature changes from one where it is an unknown, mysterious, and fearful presence that is antagonistic, to one that characterizes nature as being resilient when faced against harm and often victimized by people. Mary Oliver’s poem also titled “The Fish” offers a response to Bishop’s idea that people are harming nature, by providing another reason as to why people are harming nature, which is due to how people are unable to view nature as something that exists and goes beyond the purpose of serving human needs and offers a different interpretation of the relationship between man and nature. Oliver believes that nature serves as subsidence for humans, both physically and spiritually. Unlike Bishop who finds peace through understanding her role in nature’s plight and acceptance at the merging between the natural and human worlds, Oliver finds that through the literal act of consuming nature can she obtain a form of empowerment that allows her to become one with nature.

  • Ethics in Human-Animal Relationships: A Critical Examination

    2183 Words  | 5 Pages

    The human-animal relationship is one that, in recent years, has come under heavy criticism. Organizations, such as PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), have been trying to raise awareness that this relationship may not be ethical. Changes have been made due to organizations like PETA and the HSUS (Humane Society of The United States). For example, Ringling Brothers Circus recently retired all of its elephants because people were boycotting the circus’s performances. Many people do not find anything about our relationship with animals unethical. The most common current uses for animals are agriculture, companionship, entertainment, and animal testing, each of which has its own controversial problems. A majority of

    In 2008, Prop 2 in California was supported by groups such as the HSUS and other groups. Prop 2 has enforced “… Packer/processors, grain producers, suppliers and those in the business of selling food, must recognize this, the organization focuses on different types of animals, such as: dolphins, whales, cats and dogs (Lovvorn & Perry, 2009).” Prop 2 was a law concerning animal holdings. It declared that animal holdings, such as cages, must be large enough for the animals to have room to extend their legs, move around, and not be cramped.. The Humane Society of United States and PETA supported the organizations to inform the people on the sidelines about the different tactics one could take to save the animals. The Humane Society of United States used the ability to spy as a tactic. Therefore the organization used a small pen sized video camera. In the The Barnyard Strategist, “The HSUS released the video in San Bernardino County, district attorney, the story made national headlines.” This can be related to the movie we watched in class “The Cove,” in which a group of men broke into a slaughterhouse of dolphins and whales to catch the ones who were slaughtering the animals. They did not know about the cameras. This helped provide footage to show how the animals were actually treated. The HSUS used merging different organizations such as the smaller animal welfare groups together, this was able to help the organization increase their money to help the company be able to inform others about animal abuse. Pacelle’s strategy consisted of creating a ballot measure that will allow those who are vegetarian and vegan to help reform the ballots. They use media to help get their point across by using a male who is vegetarian who strokes...
