Introduction To control flystrike we would perform mulesing in a safe and sanitary environment using suitable pain relief and if needed, veterinary guidance. Mulesing, developed in 1927 by John Mules, is a routine husbandry procedure performed, mostly on merino sheep in Australia, during the cooler months of the year to avoid attracting more flies (Mulesing of Sheep, n.d.). It involves cutting a slice of skin from each side of the buttocks area (the usual cut is about 5-7 cm in width each side) and extends

his friends brought several pure blood Spanish Merino sheep to Australia, he then started breeding them some of his mixed breeds. He continued with this practice until he was certain that the result was that the quality of the wool was alike to the wools from Spain and Germany. John Macarthur’s success in fine-wool production gave Australia great wealth. AUSTRALIAN MERINO WOOL Australia produces the world’s best woollen fibre, Australian Merino wool, which is also the main sheep breed in this
vaccines justify the parent’s right to decide against the risk of vaccination. The extent of adverse reactions to vaccines is crippling. Every year, there are more than 20,000 vaccine adverse reaction reports that are filed with the US government (Merino 17). 13% are classified as serious, including death, lifelong disability or life-threatening illness (“Vaccines ProCon”). Considering that almost all Americans are vaccinated makes these numbers seem less significant. However, it is estimated that

Whenever artists began to not compete or collaborate with one another, but to murder their rivals from particular areas of the country: the East Side and the West Side (Merino 88), hip-hop took a downward spiral. Rappers began feuding with one another, which, primarily may seem like a petty squabble, evolved into something far from minor: violence. A great example would be 21-year-old E.J. Duncan.

health issues and other complications will arise for everyone, leading to a higher disease and death rate worldwide. Editor Noel Merino of Should Vaccinations Be Mandatory? states that, “Vaccination is the process by which pathogenic cells are injected into a healthy person in an attempt to cause the body to develop antibodies to a particular virus or bacterium” (Merino 7). Once the antibodies
This system is meant to act as a filter to stop the wrong people from having guns. In 2007, the Bipartisan legislation was passed to strengthen this system. It relies on data supplied by the states, but the data is often incomplete and inadequate (Merino 104). Unlicensed gun sellers have also created a dangerous loophole. The law makes an exception for gun sellers who aren’t federally licensed gun dealers. These sellers sell guns informally through venues such as gun shows, and are not required to

that mental illness is to blame for the many school shootings. The government, for example, after the Parkland shooting reported that the suspects were mentally ill. According to psychologists, mental disorders can result in such unfortunate acts (Merino 25). Poor health is, therefore, one of the possible causing of the shootings. Some individuals, especially the liberal ones, on the other hand, are of the view that people are not to blame for the killings. They hold that school shootings are taking
Animal Experimentation Do not improve human health 92 percent of drugs have been tested on animals do not make it through phase 1 of human clinical trials (Noel Merino). Diseases that are artificially included in animals in a laboratory are never identical to those that occur naturally in human beings. Animal testing has been around since 1922 every year, more than 100 million animals are tested on. Animal experimentation, also known as animal testing, is the process of using animals to test the
Today’s young Americans face strong peer pressure to be sexually active and engage themselves in risky behaviors (Merino 100-109). Anyone deciding to have sex must first think about all the risks involved. Kekla Magoon, author of Sex Education in Schools, says that “half of all teens aged 15 to 19 years old in the United States have had sex” (Magoon 64-65). It is currently not required by federal law for schools to teach Sex education and those few schools that do teach Sex education have the decision

Well this nightmare is a reality for so many immigrants in this so called free country. Deportations need to stop it is ruining people's lives. People risk everything when coming into the U.S. they shouldn't have to suffer anymore after that brutal journey. Everyday on the news the main story states “raids in the U.S.” it's annoying to have to have to keep seeing that, it
Animal DNA is also proved to most likely not be able to cure human diseases. For example, according to former National Cancer Institute Director Dr. Richard Klauser, “We have cured mice of cancer for decades, and it simply didn’t work in humans.” (Merino, 2). Warnings are even spread around. “Patients and physicians should remain cautious about extrapolating the finding of prominent animal research to the care of human disease” (Thompson,

Annotated Bibliography: Vaccines Vaccine safety is one of the most controversial topics in today’s public discourse. Everyone has heard of them, but few know why they are so encouraged. A vaccine contains a weak or dead version of a microbe. This creates a small scale invasion of the immune system, which activates cells to destroy the microbe. Once these cells have been made they are always there to provide protection. This protection is immunity, for those cells are then able to recognize any live

But Africa isn’t the only country struggling with poor people.

Communism is an economic system derived by Karl Marx, which in theory is composed of publicly owned property and wealth spread equally among the population. According to Merino in his preface to What Are Some Concerns About Capitalism?, “Communism’s defining feature is the public, or communal, ownership of capital” in which “the means of production owned and utilized by all for the common good” where there is no difference
