The Mistreatment Of Animals In Tolkien's Middle Earth

Movies, TV shows, circuses, and illegal gatherings in an old car garage are all places that animal abuse has taken place for the entertainment of humans. Since the 1900’s movie producers have been using animals in their productions (Dugas). Inhumane and unnecessary, are just two words that describe animal abuse, the use of animals for human entertainment is cruel and injustice.

Ents are the caretakers of the land and worked to preserve nature in its natural state. Ents embody the nature and language of the wild. The creatures appear similar to trees, but with human like features. Ents were immortal, therefore quite unhurried creatures whose, their thoughts, decisions and actions were very thoughtful and drawn out. Their conversations were spoken slowly, and in old languages. Often the Ents were only half awake or becoming tree-like. Ents are also the shepherds of Huorns, which are creatures who closely resemble Ents. Ents are very connected to the land and

Nature is a very important aspect to many Native Americans, especially in “The Earth on Turtle’s Back” where they value nature to a great extent. On page 20 the author introduces the story with the background about how “they believed that each living thing possesses a unique power that sustains it and affects other”. To further explain this, what they meant was that each living thing has a purpose in nature and that each purpose is very important and help lean to help and affect other. For example in the story the tree affects the people because it was hope for them that it would uproot, and when she falls the seeds she grabs affects the soil because it helped to grow several trees. After bringing the Muskrat to the Great Turtle’s back, to

Why then have the gods deemed it necessary to make Enkidu a guardian of nature? Returning tothe idea that man is meant to serve the gods, what service does this do? This seems to hint that Enkidu is self serving. He does what is right by his own terms: defending his family and habitat. A sense of purpose, beyond what the gods prescribe, is a decidedly non-human attribute.

Nature is the strongest thing in this world that everyone takes for granted. It holds the power to create life, but also destroy in mere seconds. In the modern world, we try to figure out and use nature in a way that can benefit us, but not how we can benefit it. With a constant search for nature and its resources, it causes humans to less mindful of the wilderness around us and how no matter what, at the end, nature will outlive all of us. Humans think they can outsmart nature with their new technology and progress, but we also end up having to turn back to nature for help in order to survive. In Jack London’s story, To Build a Fire, we follow a man into the wilderness

What is animal abuse? For starters, animal abuse is when a person inflicts suffering or harm on any animal. Most people, all over the world own an animal; but there are still far more animals left out on the street. Homeless animals are either left out on the streets or are “thrown” into shelters. This became a problem because not all animals are domesticated. Animal shelters began as pounds. “When the system began to be used to impound wandering dogs and cats, these animals were often killed because little monetary value was placed on them” (Lila Miller, Animal sheltering in the United States: Yesterday, today, and tomorrow, 1) . This issue persists because shelter workers and others truly believe that an animal life has no value, but that is not true; animals are living beings just like humans with brains, hearts, and bones. A reported case was that “authorities had seized 23 puppies, 11 cats, and four adult dogs from a self-processed animal “rescue” after they were found in the “rescuer’s” filthy home.” (‘No-Kill’ Label Slowly Killing Animals, 3). This means that an unauthorized person hoarded many animals and forced the animals into an unsafe “shelter”. The shelter being a dirty home.

Have you ever seen the movie entitled “Avatar” by James Cameron? This would be our entry point to understand this thesis very well. In the movie, Human beings had already depleted Earth’s natural and mineral resources which make them to have their expedition in the other planet called Pandora to extract minerals. While extracting minerals, the inhabitant of the place called “Na’vi” which has the highest regards on nature, becomes angry to these invaders. Human being doesn’t care about it and just continue on exploiting the minerals in the planet. Human beings also begin to attack the home of the Na’vi especially the “Tree of Soul” which the human found out having the highest percentage of the minerals they needed for the people of the earth to survive. However the Na’vi won’t allow the humans to destroy their home, so they defended what belongs to them. In the end, human beings lose the battle against the Na’vi because “Eywa” ,goddess of nature, sends a very strong wave of reinforcement of wild beasts which destroys the powerful artillery of the human beings. The humans are sent back to their planet empty handed.

The classic story Animal Farm by George Orwell is a historic, social, and political story that has had a major impact on the literary world. Orwell employs the literary devices of allegory, satire, and literary fable. Political satire is abundant throughout the book. The story also unmasks the influence of corrupt power and abusive leadership over the less fortunate. Animal farm has the universal theme that power can be used for ultimate good or absolute evil. This essay focuses on the use of satire and symbolism to express values of a society.

Under Saruman's corrupt rule, Isengard suffers this fate. Once, it was a realm bountiful in greenery. Under Saruman's rule, unforunately, Isengard transforms into something quite the opposite: the land becomes bleak and lifeless. Similarly, the land of Mordor has become unfruitful in response to the influence of Sauron’s evil. Therefore, in Tolkien's works, Nature serves as a kind of tool with regards to determining good and evil throughout Middle-earth. Nature therefore represents a moral force itself, as we feel when we witness the trees of Entwash marching off to fight the evil Saruman. Even the trees in the forest are drawn into the fight to take up arms, or branches, in the vast moral struggle taking place in

TOPIC: Recently there has been a lot of discussion about the need to change the Criminal Justice system. What do you think needs to be changed and why?

If you think an animal is being abused, first address the situation. Is the animal being abused? Does the animal look underweight? Is the animal mangy, or does it lack grooming? Does the animal have shelter? If these questions are answered to where the animal is being abused, then the next step is to report it. Call the local law enforcement, or animal control and tell them what you are witnessing. If they agree with you that the animal is being abused, they will come and investigate, later figuring out how to help the animal. Whatever happens, do not try and rescue the pet yourself. This is illegal if you are rescuing it from an abusive home, it is also very dangerous, since the owner can come at you and attack you and then the dog. However,

Nature and human beings had a long intertwined history throughout all creation myths. In most myths nature helped play a role in the creation of humans. However it was not all harmonious between humans and nature, in Greek mythology and Indian mythology they both started in a perfect world, humans had no fear, a golden age, where humans thrived. Throughout the ages, nature slowly became worst and worst for humans the insertion of disease, greed and famine. Nature and humans have always been at a harmonious and at odds with each other. However between Greek mythology and Indian myths there were different ways of telling how brutal or how amazing life was with natural forces.

First, a major event in the timeline of Oryx and Crake is the slow destruction of humanity, and although it seems like the destruction of humanity and nature occur simultaneously, nature is able to rebuild while humanity can not on its own. To begin, Atwood portrays nature and humanity as having a symbiotic ecological relationship. This means that both have “a close relationship in which one or both organisms benefit” (Nguyen). Today, the ecological relationship between nature and society seems like a parasitic one: human society is the parasite and it affects the host, or the environment, which is “harmed, but not always killed” (Nguyen). On the other hand, Atwood points out in Oryx and Crake that the relationship between nature and humanity

Unfortunately today there are many cases of animal abuse happening around the world. Animal cruelty or animal abuse can be defined as the infliction of suffering or harm upon animals for purposes other than self-defense. There are many different types of abuse such as using animals for research, using animals for entertainment purposes, abandoning animals to shelters, and animal neglect. We need to raise awareness and find a solution to these issues. Animals are suffering and we need to help them.

Animals have been a main focus in circus performances around the world for many centuries; however, in recent history, there have been far more regulations put on the use of these creatures, stemming mainly from how they are treated by both their trainers and the circus as a whole. Whether it be on the federal or local and state-level, there has been a definite increase in the questionable legality of America’s circus industry due to the neglect and abuse of the participating animals, courts’ decisions highlighting the true importance of the issue. These rulings make one ask the question: What types of regulations could be put in place in all circuses to ensure that the animals involved are not abused in the process? In the end, many
