some

have abundance of feathers, others have
only a small quantity. It happens further that some have parts that
others have not: for instance, some have spurs and others not, some
have crests and others not; but as a general rule, most parts and
those that go to make up the bulk of the body are either identical
with one another, or differ from one another in the way of contrast
and of excess and defect. For 'the more' and 'the less' may be
represented as 'excess' or 'defect'.

In other

cases the parts are identical, save only for a difference in the way of excess or defect, as is the case in such animals as are of one and the same genus. By 'genus' I mean, for instance, Bird or Fish, for each of these is subject to difference in respect of its genus, and there are many species of fishes and of birds. Within the limits of genera, most of the parts as a rule exhibit differences through contrast of the property or accident, such as colour and shape, to which they are subject: in that some are more and some in a less degree the subject of the same property or accident; and also in the way of multitude or fewness, magnitude or parvitude, in short in the way of excess or defect. Thus in some the texture of the flesh is soft, in others firm; some have a long bill, others a short one;

All those parts

that do not subdivide into parts uniform with
themselves are composed of parts that do so subdivide, for instance,
hand is composed of flesh, sinews, and bones. Of animals, some
resemble one another in all their parts, while others have parts
wherein they differ. Sometimes the parts are identical in form or
species, as, for instance, one man's nose or eye resembles another
man's nose or eye, flesh flesh, and bone bone; and in like manner with
a horse, and with all other animals which we reckon to be of one and
the same species: for as the whole is to the whole, so each to each
are the parts severally.

OF the parts

of animals some are simple: to wit, all such as divide into parts uniform with themselves, as flesh into flesh; others are composite, such as divide into parts not uniform with themselves, as, for instance, the hand does not divide into hands
nor the face into faces. And of such as these, some are called not parts merely, but limbs or members. Such are those parts that, while entire in themselves, have within themselves other diverse parts: as for instance, the head, foot, hand, the arm as a whole, the chest; for these are all in themselves entire parts, and there are other diverse parts belonging to them.

Giraffes

are browsers on trees, which most herbivores cannot reach. Because of the poor nutritional quality of leaves, giraffes must eat great quantities and spend up to twenty hours a day eating. Giraffes live in scattered herds or are solitary. Because of their extremely long necks, giraffes have special veins and valves to prevent blackouts when they lower their heads. Lions, hyenas and leopards prey on giraffe calves, but the adults are large enough and fast enough (35 miles per hour in a sprint) to have few predators. Giraffes make almost no sounds. Baby giraffes experience a six-foot drop to the ground when they are born if the mother is standing during birth, which is often.

Those pelicans

who smuggle contraband for the whale While the skunks spray the scent to keep the dogs off the trail The scorpion set up a sting for sly foxes that use stool pigeons just to keep them in the boxes While the black widow laid a web for the bachelor like daddy-long-leg and his hype man, tarantula They both prey on grasshoppers beetles and flies And they all become instant meals the moment it dies What costs little, is a little worth so some lose they lives wandering on the wrong turf
From birth they grow up walking the thin line It's like the jungle sometimes .

The crab

and the leeches sucked your blood flow And they laugh like hyenas when they out to catch dough See a million mosquitos from the West now Carrying the virus that made the boars less wild Out of fear of the deer watch for the eye of the tiger
The Clutch from the Cobra and the venomous viper Boa-constrictors that cut your circulation Mosts of their prayers die from broke bones and suffocation The owls are private eyes that watch from the bark Black panthers are the militant who strike in the dark Porcupines had a rep' for sticking everything that moved In areas that the rhinos and hippos approved And the giraffe was a look-out for gorillas in the mist And the bats use their sonar to guide and assist

He camouflage

his bets and his spots of a cheetah Shouldn't gamble with a cheetah and not expect to get beat You silly goose you know he move fast on his feet Now you're neck deep in depth with a bunch of lone sharks So you move on a colony of ants with aardvarks, you see Most of the everglades controlled by the gators It was crashed by the crocs who came years later See the locusts had swarmed with the bees the tick moved with the fleas The dragonflies and the wasps shared with the seas

Welcome to

the Jungle where the cat loves to scratch The rat squeals And the polar bear feasts on the blubber of seals The pack of wolves be scheming on a bunch of gazelles
Where the leopards grab the wilderbeast down by it's tail You see the chimps they grow hips they hustle and sling in trees Elephants for security that move tons of leaves The bluebirds arrest parrots that love to talk or eagles that stalk fresh-water trout under the wing of the hawk You see the vultures pick the pocket of whatever remain In the brain we watch but a shadow of the lion's mane Whose roar is loud enough to take the stripes from a zebra

In my opinion

animals are very needed for human life but people’s activity is often a major cause of death and suffering of many of them. I think that many centuries ago, when there weren’t artificial materials and people needed fur from animals to protect themselves against cold, killing animals for it was justified. But today, when we can make clothes from other materials, killing animals is immoral and barbarous. In my point of view nowadays we have to care for rare species of animals instead of killing them. But I will always admire vegetarians, who never eat meat and replace sausages or ham with salad or soya cutlets.

A very important

problem is, that there are many stray dogs and cats in spite of the fact that law establishes fines for it. People, who don’t want to have an animal, throw out their pets on the street instead of giving them to the kennels. It is the reason of suffering of many animals in the world. It is also dangerous for people because a lot of animals may carry serious diseases.
Besides, we often hear that scientists make experiments on animals. We don’t realise that animals are tortured, whilst it isn’t always needed. Many rats and mice are bred only for these experiments.

Another

problem is that people often kill animals for fun. In fact, a lot of men like hunting. They claim that it gives them real satisfaction, it is the proof of their strength and it helps them to relieve stress. Thoughtless killing exists, for example, in Spain, when once a year toreadors kill some thousands of bulls or in Britain, where there is tradition that rich people organise dogs’ fights or fox hunting.

Although

many people couldn’t kill any animal on their own, they often profit from killing. They don’t feel responsible for animals’ death. We don’t know, how often animals are tormented by humans. We don’t realise that we take away the place to live from poor animals. We build more and more factories, cities, housing estates and cut more and more forests. Animals are killed or they die as the result of famine or they are put in Zoo’s, where they don’t feel good.

animals for peopl

What are animals for people? Do people need them? How do we treat animals? We often may ask these questions. Animals have always existed in human life. A long time ago people ate meat and wore clothes made from leather. Today we breed animals like cows, sheep, pigs, hens and others for food. We often don’t imagine living without meat, milk, eggs. We also like wearing furs, leather coats and gloves and we don’t realise how many animals had to death to make our life easier.

Ban Animal Hunting

Many of our endangered animals are killed or permanently injured due to hunting. Nearly 1 million animals are killed each year in the United States. For every animal claimed by a hunter, at least 2 other are hurt and left to die slowly and painfully.
The staggeringly high numbers of water animals such as ducks, pelicans, turtles and whales are often seen as “in the way” by fishermen becauseb they eat fish.
More bans need to be put in place so that endangered species of otters, ducks, manatees, pelicans and other water animals can live in the way they used to. The more threatened species are elephants and turtles, who have lost nearly 50% of their population in the last 10 years.
Animal hunting needs to be stopped so that many species can live in their own habitats and not in protected places. Is it fair that animals should be sought out and shot purely for the enjoyment of hunters? Animals don’t deserve this kind of treatment, we should ban animal hunting at once.

Animal rights or Science?

I support animal testing because I think it’s a good idea to do researches on animals because we can identify the connections between us humans and different type of animals. Jane goodall’s pointed out that humans have much in common with chimps and including 98% of our genetic code, is now widely accepted. Jane Goodall’s also thought that it’s a good idea to do animal testing because animals that he believed could provide us a window into our own beginnings. I also thing its good idea to do animal testing because the last couple of days the movie we have watched on the chimpanzee basically proves that you can get a lot of results from testing animals and how the way they learn is a lot similar to how we learn. Basically us humans go through the same thing as we grow up and we have to get used to things and practice them in order to understand them.

end

It seems that we recognize that animals can be treated well (it is especially the case with our pets) and treated badly. And there is no inconsistency here. Of course we should care about animals and recognize such things as animal welfare and cruelty to animals. However, as long as we are not cruel on purpose and do not commit wrongful acts that involve animals, such as thoughtless killing, starving or torturing them, we do nothing wrong. At the same time it seems obvious that animals can be used for man's benefit. It sounds as if animals had no rights at all but it is not true. They have many rights and, what is more, we have responsibilities to them. Still, they are inferior to us and cannot be viewed as our equal partners.

However, the question arises whose rights are more important: people's or animals'? It is true that we allow animals to be used for various purposes and sometimes it is cruel but we do so in order to achieve human benefit. It seems that it is generally not wrong to raise animals because meat is an important source of protein and a rich ingredient of man's daily diet. It is also not wrong to experiment on animals as in this way medicine and science make progress. Moreover, lab animals have another important role to fulfil; they have saved many lives serving as 'guinea pigs' to test a vaccine or the effectiveness of a drug.

...cont

of the abilities humans possess, they are conscious creatures feeling pleasure, anger, loneliness or suffering. Therefore, we should not consider ourselves as their superiors or masters and keep them in closed confinements, isolation or laboratories and ignore their needs, feelings and preferences. Vegetarians, for example, have even more extreme views. They renounce the use of animals in any way and give up eating meat while Greenpeace members propose to identify with mammals and claim that animals are members of oppressed groups.

anim right

In European culture we tend to look at animals from the Christian point of view and regard them as inferior beings subordinated to man. This seems to justify the treatment of animals as our resources used for food, clothes, research purposes or just for sport. Of course, there are groups opposing the above attitudes. Many animal welfare groups, such as the World Society for the Protection of Animals or The Animal Rights Movement aim at the total abolition of animal medical research, fur industry and sport hunting and trapping. They claim that although animals lack many

treating

There are two tendencies concerning treating animals in contemporary society. Some people think of animals as conscious living beings while others regard them as walking sources of food and fur. These two attitudes may be considered from many points of view, among others cultural, moral or religious.
In many cultures, animals are treated with great respect. In some Indian tribes, for example, when an animal is killed, rituals are offered to the animal's spirit. Some religions, like Buddhism, have also maintained a belief in reincarnation according to which the souls of human bodies are reincarnated to inhabit animal bodies. When viewed from this perspective, eating meat may be regarded as a form of cannibalism. However, human relationships with animals vary from society to society.

flight

Birds are vertebrates with feathers, modified for flight and for active metabolism. Birds are a monophyletic lineage, evolved once from a common ancestor, and all birds are related through that common origin. There are a few kinds of birds that don't fly, but their ancestors did, and these birds have secondarily lost the ability to fly. Modern birds have traits related to hot metabolism, and to flight:
horny beak, no teeth, large muscular stomach, feathers, large yolked, hard-shelled eggs. The parent bird provides extensive care of the young until it is grown, or gets some other bird to look after the young.

aye

The aye-aye's odd-looking fingers, pointy teeth, big eyes, and huge ears give some people the creeps. Seeing an aye-aye is considered very bad luck to many superstitious residents of Madagascar, the African island country where these animals live in the wild. In parts of the country, people kill aye-ayes on sight, hoping to prevent anything "evil" from happening. The aye-aye's bad reputation isn't helped by the fact that it's active only at night, when things can seem a lot scarier to people.

Ostrich

Ostriches usually weigh from 90 to 130 kg (198 to 286 pounds), although some male ostriches have been recorded with weights of up to 155 kg (342 pounds). The feathers of adult males are mostly black, with some white on the wings and tail. Females and young males are grayish-brown, with a bit of white. The small vestigial wings are used by males in mating displays. They can also provide shadow to chicks. The feathers are soft and serve as insulation, and are quite different from the stiff airfoil feathers of flying birds. There are claws on two of the wings' fingers.
