Fox Farming Speech:
Introduction:
“If we can 't be cordial to these creatures ' fleece, I think that we deserve to freeze.” This poetic quote by Marianne captures the view that I take upon the topic of fur farming. Some of you may ask, what is that?
Well, fur farming is basically the manufacturing of fur coats, using the skin of millions of foxes, minks, and other furry creatures, that live on the fur farms.
OK. Imagine yourself cramped in a cold and dark wire cage. No food, no water, living in this filthy place your whole life. For you, this is home. Then, one day, you are suddenly ripped from your cage, endlessly beaten to death, and excruciatingly skinned alive, followed by a stabbing electrocution through the anus. You are then tossed like garbage into a pile with others who had suffered the same fate.
This is how horrific the fur industry is and unfortunately, this kind of thing happens to foxes on a daily basis. All in the name of fashion. But why should we care? Using the power, I have learnt about the condition of foxes and the production of fur coats, and I feel that it not only affected me emotionally, but it affects ALL of us physically as well.
Reasons:
#1:
Although fur clothing can last for a long time, it requires high-maintenance.
The effort and cost in order to keep fur clothing in shape is very high.
You may take interest in such fashion, but the expense can be deadly for the wallet. It can take a lot of time just to clean and trim the fur.
Cleaning an
An ecosystem contain biological communities and abiotic factors that interact with each other. However, Introduced pest species in Australia have always been a major issue due to the unique ecosystems that have developed, undisturbed over millions of years, due to Australia's geographical isolation. This is especially evident in the introduction the European red fox in Australia, which has prompt negative changes to the population of the Long-nosed Bandicoot due to the predation by these foxes in the Field of mars and around Australia. The disruption the fox foxes have on the Long-nosed bandicoot can also result in sever cascading effects on the rest of the ecosystem, including abiotic factors like the soil and biotic factors like other native flora and fauna
• There would be a high risk to secure the capacity, which would require large up-front payments.
The dogs and horses participating in these activities prove to be very critical in the procedure of chasing, capturing, and killing the prey. They are even acknowledged by the people of this time for their vigorous work. To show their appreciation, the dogs are rewarded with a few chunks of meat.
The animal I was given for this assignment was the Channel Island Fox. They are considered to be near extinction animals with nearly about 2,500 fox left (last checked 2008). The Channel Island Fox is a type of fox that only lives on the Channel Islands, which is located around the coast of Southern California in about 19 to 61 miles away from the continental state. On a clear day in California, many visitors have the chance to see the islands over the shores. Within the eight islands, only six of the islands have the Channel Island Fox on their land. The six islands are San Miguel, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, Santa Catalina, San Nicolas and San Clemente. Each island has different features which has given each island fox a different trait compared to each one, but they are still considered as Island Fox.
The idea of animal rights has been around for centuries. Even decades ago, people were taking action for the welfare of animals. Marc Bekoff and Ned Hettinger share this idea all the way back in 1994 when they said that there is evidence that scientist are concerned with animal welfare by acknowledge that they use the guidelines in place to protect animals during research, in order to have their work published (Bekoff 219). Guidelines are the basis for the moral and ethical treatment of animals. Each person may have his or her own standard, but having a standard among the entire population ensures the welfare of the animals. Unfortunately, these standards are not at a level to where the animals are being protected. Many animals in captivity are treated in ways that would shock the average person. Orcas for example, are starved until they do the desired task (Cowperthwaite). This form of operant condition can lead to success, but often leads to resentment and hostility towards the trainers.
Species often face multiple threats. We considered the relative impact of three major threats on populations of the San Joaquin kit fox. This species was once widely distributed across the southern San Joaquin Valley, but agriculture and development have replaced much of the now endangered subspecies’ habitat. We modeled impacts of climate change, land-use change, and rodenticide exposure on kit fox populations using a spatially explicit, individual-based population model. Our study indicates that landuse change will have the biggest impact on kit fox populations, with the potential to decrease populations by approximately 9% under a compact growth scenario or 15% under a business-as-usual scenario. 55% of the best kit fox habitat also has
Background: I was talking to my friend Jess. We were talking about the weather. I was saying it was too hot and she agreed with me. Jess then asked “Do you feel bad for the animals since they have fur and it makes it harder for them to cool down?”
It wasn’t until the 19th century that clothing for animals became a profitable manufacturing industry, according to Pet Pavilion. Soon, there were canine couture boutiques popping up around Paris. Little by little, the pet fashion industry grew into what know
Animals, whether cats in the house or lions on the savannah, reserve the right to life. The disregard for animal life has been equated to racism or sexism; acting on principles of disrespect for life and thoughts of discrimination (Animal Testing and Ethics). The continuation of animal testing and experimentation take an enormous psychological toll on humanity, leading to rationalization and flawed justification. To carry on this path would darken the mark this animal abuse is currently leaving on our humanity, one step towards yet another fault in human nature.
Growing up, I was extremely fortunate to have a parent who embodied all of the characteristics listed in Carol Stuart’s “Foundations of Child and Youth Care” including passion, caring, space and time, and social competence. My mother has always been my main role model, caregiver, friend, and always treated me with the upmost respect and patience, and together we built a relationship based on trust and mutual appreciation. We would often go on long walks together, using this as a therapeutic milieu for storytelling and the cultivation of unbiased advice. For me, it was important to analyze the world outside of my own head and share in the mutual struggles of daily life with someone who understood or, at the very least listened, as I analyzed, experienced, and complained about the world. For the better part of my life, I did not see this as therapeutic or its relation to child and youth work, rather assuming all parents were capable of , and expressed, this kind of love to some degree. However, it was only by watching my friends wrestle with issues such as depression, anxiety, and body image that I realized the isolation and loneliness that can easily overcome a person without a proper role model or guidance and more importantly, that this presence is not guaranteed in everyone’s life. Through experiences with my friends and mother, I am familiar with being on either side of a therapeutic situation, acknowledged the vital role of it in personal development and decided to

It is evident that in this case confidentiality was very limited. Living on the reservation in such a tight-knit community creates very little room for privacy for a family. This privacy can usually be invaded by other members of the community and even sometimes government officials of the community. The worker in this case was limited to what confidential information she could obtain about the Red Fox family. During the assessment phase, the worker wanted to view more of the history of the Red Fox family and their past intervention experiences. This confidential information required permission from the family for the worker to view. John did give permission for this to happen and the worker was able to view a larger amount of information
Immediately after the Second World War, Robert Moses’ power increased exponentially. He then, got a control over city’s housing authority. Huge amount of money was spent by the federal government on the public housing and low income housing. This money was spent in New York at the command of Robert Moses. Up to that point Moses had been building mostly parks and bridges, now, he was going to build inside the city. No one could have predicted the magnitude of explosion that would overtake New York. Moses demanded to be the construction co-ordinater. The construction co-ordinater has to represent the city in all its dealing with federal government. And therefore, he got a control over public housing and federal money. In the end of the year 1948,
A company’s strategy is needed first, according to Galbraith’s star model. In starting up her company, Fox Relocation, Gretchen Fox agrees it basically fell in her lap. Working in different firms gave her the opportunity to observe and know what was needed and what worked well in management. As she was thinking up ways to start her own company, opportunity knocked and she took the stride and went for it. Fox knew when she had to expand her company based on clients and employees. I’d consider this the opportunistic strategy since Fox is a go-getter and has her goals and expectations set.
As a result of the immensely diverse nature of the phenomena it intends to understand, the study of religion requires a multitude of analytic methods. Consequently, these methods may be categorized as either being grounded in empirical analysis of biological, psychological, or physiological data - producing a perspective which is exclusively characterized as outsider. Thus, according to this definition, Sigmund Freud’s application of his Oedipus Complex theory is a near perfect example of an explanatory Classical Psychological Approach to religion, claiming that individuals turn to an “omnipotent, benevolent father figure” (Kanaris) alleviate the sexual anxiety which develops when children begin viewing their parent of the opposite sex as an object of desire. In this sense, Freud negatively reduces the phenomena to an infantile form of escapism from life’s hardships. Furthermore, Freud alleges that this immature psychological response will eventually give way to “the more excellent procedure of science.”(Kanaris) This conclusion makes evident the foremost flaw of conduction studies which are purely explanatory: they tend to be
