Vultures Have A Bad Reputation

  In my opinion, birds bring a lot more to our lives than we think they do. They bring peace and serendipity. Within the film, this brings the viewer a chance to see that there

The Storm Wardens and the Storm Eagles are one and the same. During the Horus Heresy, Thorondor, Primarch of the Storm Eagles would not choose between brother or father, therefore acting more or less as a neutral party. After the Horus Heresy, the Emperor was much displeased with Thorondor and his decision not to side with him during the war. So the Emperor, Thorondors father, condemned the Second Legion to an Edict of Obliteration, all but wiping out the Storm Eagles.

In the novel on page 119, Atticus says, “Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” Miss Maudie adds, “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us” (pg. 119). There are many things in the world that harm us in some way. It is fair to harm them back if necessary. However, it is undeniably wrong to harm something that does no misdeeds. A creature that only exists to make one’s existence more enjoyable is a gift. It is wrong for man to harm what doesn’t harm

Among other animal imagery, birds appear frequently throughout the story in times of crisis. The birds often foreshadow dangers that lie ahead. For instance, when Robert's team takes a wrong turn, "the fog is full of noises"(80) of birds. Then the birds fly out of the ditch and disappear. Robert and Poole know that "[there] must be something terribly wrong...but neither one knew how to put it into words. The birds, being gone, had taken some mysterious presence with them. There was an awful sense of void--as if the world had been emptied" (81). The birds return and when Robert nears the collapsing dike and "one of the birds [flies] up cut[s] across Robert's path" as if it is trying to prevent him from going any further. Robert does not heed the warning and almost dies in the sinking mud.

"For each of us, as for the robin in Michigan or the Salmon in the Miramachi, this is a problem of ecology, or interrelationships, of interdependence. We poison the caddis flies

When people visit public areas, the goal always seems to be: I need a picture, so how close can I get? How do they do that? Food. Enticing wildlife with food is one of the easiest ways to have wildlife come right to you. One problem with feeding wildlife is, they become imprinted that humans always have food to offer. Meaning, they have learned that humans have food and will have easy access to it. Another problem with feeding wildlife is that human food can cause health defects to the animal body. For example, “Angel Wings,” commonly found in ducks, swans, and geese is a deformity in the wings due to the overeating of breads that humans feed them. This affects the structure of the wings and leaves them flightless. Although signs have been posted around parks, that does not stop anyone! It is a hard habit to break for many people. An end to wildlife feed would cause less harm to humans, animals, and to the presumption that we have the upper hand in this world.

Not all the birds are to be trusted, and there are other spies more evil than they are here” (Tolkien 183). Consequently Sam “looked up into the pale sky, fearing to see hawks or eagles hovering over them with bright unfriendly eyes” (Tolkien 184). Though The Hobbit showed a second depiction of crows and ravens; they are viewed as friendly, helpful and proven as trustworthy animals to the protagonists such as Roäc the raven. On some occasions they spoke with the dwarves and Bilbo without presenting a potential threat to them. However, Gandalf and Aragorn still carry their suspicions of birds and beasts whenever they are traveling across Middle Earth. Since ravens and crows are actually seen to play a good and evil role through the story due to their ability to collect information and bring news to their allies, it opens to the possibility they are being unknowingly exploited when used for evil purposes. Birds who are allied with dwarves further suggest that the crebains serving Saruman were once a normal race of crows who lost their way of life and honor by having their minds corrupted through persuasion.

To put this on equal terms, think one day you and your family are taking a leisurely stroll down the park. While walking down the spark another person randomly tries to kill you. But, no one but your mom is wounded with a poisoned wound without an antidote. Frighten you would not be able to know or think straight with the sight of someone dear to you dying right in front of your eyes. Now if you would please take that picture and put it in terms of an animal being hunted by another species far more advanced, without a way to protect themselves. Is it really morally right to kill another living thing for sport? Especially when the animal involved is on the endangered species list, to be fair, it is on the endangered species list for a reason because it is on the verge of becoming extinct. So let me ask you again why should anybody think it's more to hunt and kill animals that are endangered or simply in our backyards. it is morally wrong to continue trophy hunting as a Leisure activity when endangered animals are

Probably the most notable use of birds occurs when after ten years, Sula returns to the Bottom accompanied by a “plague of robins”(89). The word plague indicates that the birds represent a wave of sickness that Sula brings alongside her. The citizens of the Bottom recognize the birds as a sign of evil, but choose to accept its wickedness rather than try to rid of the robins. “But they let it run it’s course, fulfill itself, and never invented ways to either alter it, to annihilate it or to prevent its happening again. So also were they with people” (90). Here, Morrison is comparing the townspeople’s feelings both towards the evilness of the robins and towards the evilness of Sula. They welcome Sula’s return to the Bottom the same way they they welcome the birds. Sula’s personal experiences with wickedness are also acknowledged through the robins as Sula

Animals are bread forcibly, then nourished with specific intent of managing fat content, meat flavor, and healthiness, each of which discounts the Utilitarian claim that nature makes our carnivorous methods ethically permissible. Secondly, and perhaps more fundamentally, such a claim is in direct contradiction to the Utilitarian tenet that each individual has equal value regardless of identity or stature. Because humans could be sufficiently nourished without the killing of animals, it cannot be argued that the consequence of causing death to an animal is equivalent or less substantial than that of feeding a man.

My opinion is that it is not fair because animals should not be having so much of presure and risk on their selveles.

Vultures are usually only related to death, but what if they could represent more? The TED Talk, “How vultures can help solve crimes” presents the idea that vultures can positively impact forensic science. Vultures are known to be large and lethargic, but ironically they are very fast and brilliant with their scavenging skills. Additionally, the sight of vultures circling is not them hunting, but simply aiming to get from point A to point B. ( according to “How vultures can help solve crime”) While vultures will not always be spotted at the scene, they still leave subtle evidence behind, which assists in solving the crime. Lauren Pharr implies that including vultures in forensic studies will paint a more detailed picture of the overall crime

They show the utmost kindness for one another and the planet they live on. On the other hand, there are many species of animals that kill just because they can. Part of the reasoning behind this is that numerous animals have tendencies of aggressiveness. There is no reasoning behind it, but is clearly found in their innate and learned behaviors.

Many people believe feeding birds are beneficial. They do not feel that feeding birds outweigh the negative effects on birds. For example, some people have mentioned that they consider it being a positive effect on birds if they provide them shelter. They claim to help serve and protect the birds by providing them with food and water all year long. Although this is all true, birds should still not be fed due to many negative effects revolving around them, as much as we love the view of the colorful birds and their beautiful tweeting, we are doing more harm than good.

Though the bald eagle is the nation's symbol, people still saw them as vermin and shot them on sight. Not only were they shot because they were thought to be vermin, but they were also shot because they were considered to be great trophies. This lack of patriotism and lack of kindness to animals in general brought down the population of the bald eagle. Since the population of the bald eagle went down, the bald eagle became closer to becoming an endangered species.
