In How to do Animal Rights, Isacat brought to light the issue which includes humans are becoming responsible for the mass extinction of animals. Humans have been the “enemy” of animals for millennia’s, because of the actions we’ve been taking against them. These actions include eating, wearing, killing them for sport, and experimentation, all to meet the demands of the increasing number of people living in the world. This reading is engaging to me both socially and culturally, both topics are brought about with the phrasing of ‘Animal Holocaust’.

In paragraph thirteen Isacat states this “We could not have evolved without animals and they gave our species food, clothing, shelter and tools”, Isacat then quoted Woody Allen; "More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.” These two statements leave me with the question that if humans choose the wrong path, and we continue down that road, we’re going to keep kill trillions of animals a year and continue to polluting the earth, how long until it’s just all gone? How long until the animals that help humans evolve are lost to this world and humans can no longer evolve? Will we eventually just go extinct like the animals?

Human interference with the natural wildlife is skyrocketing the rate of extinction for the animals that we coexist with. As more and more humans are born the more territory is required in order to live a comfortable life, but it seems that we are not aware of how our expansions throughout the world is affecting the lives of the native species. We jeopardize the lives of these animals when we recklessly flatten the surrounding land and drive the living animals out of their natural habitats. When we feel the need to acquire more territory in order to create a suitable place to live on, we destroy the already occupied land of the native species thus driving the rate of extinction to increase. The occupation of the animals’ native soil forces the animals to leave the area in hopes of adapting to another piece of land. For some this adaptation is simply impossible and the species begin to die off. In an article on Treehugger.com the author states, “Thanks to human development and expansion, species are now going extinct exponentially faster than ever before- they’re dying out at the frightening speed of one thousand times their natural rate (Merchant 1). As we are busting around making these “developments”, we pollute the natural landscape with petroleum products, pesticides, and other chemicals. When this happens we endanger the living species and speed up the process of extinction because of our interference with the local wildlife.

Andre Schwarz-Bart’s The Last of the Just and Art Spiegelman’s Maus I and Maus II focuses on the images of the different types of “insect” and other types of degrading animal images of the Jews during the Shoah. By drawing upon Edmund Russell’s article and Howard Stein’s article, one can come to understand how the portrayal of Jews as either animals or insects, and the reactions of those persecuted in the Shoah have been portrayed within the two novels. Thus, it is when an individual distances themselves away from their view as an “insect” or the identity of animals that an individual is able to find the strength to cope, and survive in difficult tragedies.

619 wordsRead More - Relationships and Stereotypes in Mausanalytical essay“I'm not talking about YOUR book now, but look at how many books have already been written about the Holocaust. What's the point? People haven't changed... Maybe they need a newer, bigger Holocaust.” These words were spoken by author Art Spielgelman. Many books have been written about the Holocaust; however, only one book comically describes the non-superficial characteristics of it. Art Spiegelman authors a graphic novel titled Maus, a book surrounding the life a Jewish man living in Poland, named Vladek. His son, Art Spielgelman, was primarily focused on writing a book based on his father’s experiences during the Holocaust. While this was his main focus, his book includes unique personal experiences, those of which are not commonly described in other Holocaust books. Art’s book includes the troubles his mother, Anja, and his father, Vladek, conquered during their marriage and with their family; also, how his parents tried to avoid their children being victimized through the troubles. The book includes other main characters, such as: Richieu Spiegelman, Vladek first son; Mala Spiegelman, Vladek second wife; and Françoise, Art’s French wife. Being that this is a graphic novel, it expresses the most significant background of the story. The most significant aspect about the book is how the characters are dehumanized as animals.
