Greyhound Racing In Massachusetts Is Cruel And Inhumane: It Should Be Banned
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Greyhound racing in Massachusetts is one of the state's most popular and revenue-driven events. The excitement mirrors that of a horse track where bettors become as involved in the sport's politics as they do in the wagers. On the surface, one might not think that greyhound racing is anything but a fun activity for both dog and spectator, but one would not be privy to the gruesome reality behind the inhumane sport, where it is the residual effect of racing that proves most detrimental to the dogs. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

History of American Environmentalism: In Forcing the Spring, Robert Gottlieb offers a biased history of American environmentalism that focuses on the need to change from conservation and preservation of natural resources and wildlands to increased efforts
[ send me this paper ]
1999, the Worldwatch Institute's 16th annual report on "progress toward a sustainable society," begins where Gottlieb leaves off, that is, with a prescription for a sustainable economy. The primary components of the model are subsidy reform, tax reform, regulatory reform, global cooperation, industrial innovation, and grassroots support. This 5 page paper examines the two viewpoints and concludes with the argument that de-centralization is at the mercy of the centralized organizations already in place and even more at the mercy of the governmental forces. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Hoof-And-Mouth Disease: Impact Upon International Economy
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. To say that the potential impact of hoof-and-mouth disease upon international economy is staggering is to understate the severity of the current situation. Inasmuch as the only way to abate the fast-spreading livestock disease is to destroy the animal, the implied financial loss associated with the demise of thousands upon thousands of farm animals is unfathomable. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Imprinting in Animals
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses the processes
and results of imprinting in animals. Dictionaries define
imprinting as an “indelibly distinguishing effect or influence.”
As such a statement applies to animals, it is an irreversible
influence. Whether it is the homing “device” or ability of
salmon, the ability of newborn animals of all species to
recognize their parent, or the mating choices of any creature,
what has been imprinted is what serves as one of the strongest
determinants of their behavior. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

International Trade Of Endangered Species And The Bush Administration: Elephant Tusks
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. Examining the Bush Administration's approach toward international trade of endangered species gives one a significantly better understanding of how mankind's selfishness has created a perilous situation for the animals. Changes in climate, destruction of habitat and loss of food source have all occurred at the hands of man, a greedy species who only looks out for his own best interests. However, what is becoming tremendously clear as the world closes in upon the twenty-first century is the fact that all the detrimental actions humanity has carelessly thrust upon the planet are coming back to haunt all species, including man. Soon there will be fewer and fewer animals left to exploit, with the elephant population representing one of the most immediately threatened of all wild animals because the Bush Administration blatantly supports lifting the existing ban on ivory trade. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

John Fante & Chester Himes, On Anger
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that examines the theme of anger in novels by Fante and Himes. John Fante, in his novel The Road to Los Angeles, and Chester Himes in If He Hollers Let Him Go, both picture angry young men as their protagonists. While both of these characters have their anger at society in common, this is perhaps their only similarity. Yet, in both cases, the authors use their anger as a tool for expressing larger thematic messages. No additional sources cited.
