Ginger is a large sweet pitbull. She just had little puppies about a month ago. In search of food, Ginger left her puppies by a stop sign. She comes back to hear her pups aggressively barking at a large man holding the runt of the group. Ginger now runs in full speed towards the large man. Now with a thousand teeth marks on his leg, the man drops the runt and takes off running. Because of Ginger’s actions, she has been taken away from her children and is being held at the state animal department to be killed. Ginger would have been given a pass had america today cared about the justice of dogs. Who knew one simple action could have such a big outcome? Dogs that have bitten someone should not be executed because they can not control their …show more content…
About 15,000 years ago, scientists at PBS believe that wolves became domesticated. This led to the discovery of canine animals. These new creatures became much more appealing to the human eye. They have floppier ears, fluffier skin, “puppy dog” eyes, and the list goes on and on. Since then, dogs have been known as a “man’s best friend”. To this day, humans use dogs as multiple figures of entertainment whether it is a circus trick, protection, or even just a friend that is always willing to listen.. Many argue that dogs who have bitten someone should be executed. Certain dog bites can eventually lead to diseases and infections. While rabies is the most common dog bite disease, there are many more such as: tetanus, punctured wounds, and staph infection. In “Animal Bite- Associated Infections”, experts Nicole Thomas and Itzhak Brook argue that dogs are the most common transmitter of rabies (2011). Rabies is a viral disease transmitted through mammal bites which infects the nervous system ultimately leading to death. This is pretty horrific especially if it can result in someone …show more content…
An organism is any living thing that is made up of cells. Humans are organisms, you are an organism, plants are an organism, and dogs are organisms. Since everyone is practically the same, no one/thing should be ranked higher than another. Recently a study was conducted that showed that dogs and humans share 84% of their dna. Therefore, dogs and humans are closely related and should be treated the same; like living organisms. Dogs are not better than humans… Humans are not better than dogs. In simpler terms, if dog is killed for biting someone, than a human should be killed as well. Toddlers are giving numerous chances to understand a simple concept before they are tapped on the hand for doing the negative task again. So dogs should be given multiple chances to get a command right as well. Would you kill your little baby girl for biting your hand? No you would give them a warning and tell them “Not do it again”. If children are given multiple chances, then so should dogs. It would be unfair and unjust if you decided to give a child a chance to redeem themselves and not a canine
Ladies and gentlemen of the Board, thankyou for allowing me to come and discuss with you the important message that is established in the Australian film Red Dog, directed by Kriv Stenders and why Australians should understand red dog, and why the board should display red dog at this year’s film festival.
I’ve always felt that animals are the purest spirits in the world. They don’t fake or hide their feelings, and they are the most loyal creatures on Earth and somehow we humans think we’re smarter. I chose this topic about the canine because, some of these canines risk their life’s to protect dog’s best friend.
...at in domestic animals, which indicates wild animals cause a higher risk to humans. Controlling the disease in susceptible wild free-ranging animal populations is implemented by oral vaccination and recombinant rabies vaccine by use of vaccine-containing bait. The best prevention is decreasing chances to expose to the disease. Once a patient is suspected as a rabies case, the physician and local health administrator should decide whether infection actually occurs and whether a risk of rabies exists in the geographic area. Once the identification is completed, the patient should receive post-exposure prophylaxis immediately, which contains the combination of local wound cleansing, human rabies immune globulin (HRIG) and rabies vaccine. The population such as veterinarians, animal handlers that have higher risk to be infected should receive pre-exposure immunization.
Dogs are seen as an ‘evolutionary miracle’. This is because, over 100 years, they have the most breeds and changes than any other species. They have changed spectacularly from their ancestors the wolves; they domesticated themselves into dogs and they now carry many different traits. Wolves now have little use for us unlike dogs, for example, retrievers are bred to chase and then bring back
Rabies is the oldest infectious disease that is spread between species. Historical evidence of rabies dates from about 2300 BC. The first written record of rabies is in the Eshnunna code (ca.1930 BC), which states that owners of rabid dogs with symptoms of rabies should take preventative measures to keep their dog away from others. If a person were to be bitten and later become ill or die, the owner would be fined heavily. During this time and for many centuries to follow, it was commonplace to kill any animal or human who showed symptoms of the disease. Today rabies incidents involving dogs in the United States are rare, but there are increasing numbers of outbreaks among the wild animal population, notably in the southern states.
The attack enraged the community and drove the local government to ban pit bulls from the city. Several days after the boy’s death, details leading up to the attack quietly emerged on the back pages of local newspapers. The “family dog” actually belonged to someone else; a neighborhood teenager had stolen the male pit bull a month earlier from its owner’s backyard. There was speculation that the teen may have abused the pit bull in hopes of “turn[ing] him into a fighting dog.” The teenager feared being caught, so he offered the dog for sale on the street. The victim’s father bought the dog and took him home
Owners show their lack of knowledge by misconceiving the dog’s actions as excitement instead of an indication for aggressive tendencies. Its disheartening to witness dogs being victims of neglect by owners. All animals bestow unconditional love and deserve the same in return. Owners are like adopted parents and must make certain that the animal is disciplined at a young age so that they mature into healthy and productive adults. This can be done by set...
“Mom! Mom! The dogs got Cody. The dogs got Cody” (Vancouver Sun, 2007). Just a few days after Christmas in 2004, these are the cries that awoke Sheri Fontaine. Fontaine raced from her bed into the living room to find her three-year old son, Cody Fontaine, savaged by the dogs that were staying temporarily in her house. Tragically, young Cody did not survive the attack. A young life taken, a mother’s life ruined. Sadly, this story is not as uncommon as one of violence against people, they exhibit highly stubborn characteristics that make them difficult to control, and such bans have proven to be extremely effective.
GENERAL PURPOSE: To persuade the audience that pit bulls are nice loving dogs. SPECIFIC PURPOSE: To persuade the audience that pit bulls are not naturally dangerous. CENTRAL IDEA: Pit bulls are just like any other dog. It depends on how a pit bull or any other breed of dog is nurtured to determine the characteristics of the dog.
Rabies, literally meaning “furious” in Latin, is commonly known throughout the ages for its terrifying effects on both humans and animals alike. Because the disease is fatal, people throughout the world have put greatest effort to find ways of controlling and preventing the disease. Natural remedies and protection amulets were used until Pasteur’s discovery of the vaccine. Based on those findings, people have altered techniques to make the vaccine. However, recently, there have been two particular cases concerning rabies. One woman survived the disease by an induced coma without receiving the vaccine. Another case a common organ donor infected with rabies killed all the recipients. These medical mysterious surprised many scientist even today.
Rabies is a deadly virus that occurs in the brain. It can affect all mammals but the ones that are most commonly found with the virus are dogs, bats, raccoons, skunks, and coyotes. This means that any non-mammal can not contract the virus, such as fish, birds, and reptiles (2). The virus can be contracted by humans with saliva transfer with broken skin contact from an animal which has the disease. As this is the most common form of transferring the disease it is very believable that Tea Cake contracts the virus from the wild dog that “managed to bite [him] high up on his cheek bone once” (1). The rabies virus works by being a bullet shaped virus that directly attacks th...
Rabies is a zoonotic disease dating back to ancient times. The origin of the word rabies could either be from the Sanskrit word, rabhas, which means ‘‘to do violence,’’ or from the Latin rabere, meaning ‘‘to rage or rave.’’ (Kumar, 2009). In the beginning people thought applying the hair of a rabid dog, or applying a glowing hot metal rod to the wound would cure the disease this caused other infections. In some countries people would kill themselves or others if bit by a rabid dog, this was band in some countries. (Kumar, 2009). Medicine stones were used in North America to try and draw out the infection. In 1885 an outbreak of rabies occurred in Newark, NJ involving six children and several dogs.
In 1938, dogs made up 89.9% of all rabid cases reported in the United States and rabies itself was responsible for the deaths of 47 people that year. However, that number went down after the 1960’s as dogs made up only 3.6% of reported cases and eventually the virus killed about one person a year. This successful shift was due not only to more vaccinations in animals, but strict laws and rules enforced in different countries to exterminate the rabies virus (Baer 3).
The dog is very playful with the hungry guards and thinks it was playful with everyone even though all the guards are very annoyed with it, showing how they just want to get the hang over with. The Hanging by George Orwell describes how the process of the hanging is an unfair punishment for all of the parties involved. We never got to know what the man was guilty of doing and only know that he still has a will to live. The guards are also shown the be miserable, not by the actual hanging of the person, but the fact they must do the hangings before breakfast at eight o clock. The conclusion of the essay shows how the guards and the main character cope with the hanging of a healthy man.
Most seventeen year olds participate in a winter sport, myself included. Most started participating in their sport when they’re young, myself included. Most seventeen year old’s sport doesn’t take them to competitions in Main, Quebec, or Alaska, but mine did and still does. I race sled dogs. My parents met at a dog race in Chugiak, Alaska, a suburb of Anchorage. I’ve grown up playing with puppies, helping my parents to the start line, and racing my own team. I would go to my parent-teacher conference every year in elementary school and listen to my mom explain that we would be going to Alaska for two and a half months, and that I would need my work before we left. We experienced different reactions every year. For example, my second grade teacher exclaimed “So are you running the Iditarod? That’s so cool!” This reaction is common. Most people don’t know how the sport of dog racing works. Most people think a sled dog is a fluffy dog that logs hundreds of miles because their heartless owners forcing them to, but unfortunately this stereotype
