Animals

            When I started reading our assignment, one of the readings stood out to me and that was the Blackfish trailer because it was all about SeaWorld. It made me think of animal cruelty because SeaWorld would go out into the sea and take young wild Orcas that are meant for being in the wild, come back and try to be train and put them in captivity.  I thought this was wrong, and I didn’t start to realize that until I watched this on Netflix’s. It really made me think what our society has become?  Another reading that caught my eye was the scarecrow song because right when it started out, it started playing the Willie wonka song and that made me think of a factory. The song really showed what we do to animals, like process them and turn them into food. But what really impressed me was when the scarecrow made his own food in the end to give a different option of eating to people.  The Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and Primal Compassion have a similar mind set I think because we either see someone helping out someone or animal caring for there own and I think that shows a lot especially for kids. I also think that we don’t give enough credit to animals like monkeys and gorilla’s since they are changing our ways. I think later in life we are going to see advantages from animals that will benefit our society since they are evolving too around humans.

            When looking at the cat article, I seem to agree with it because everywhere we go now we are going to see a stray cat. In our society this is normal because cats are always fertile, its just normal. I don’t think we should be afraid of these cats because if we are feeding them then; what’s the difference? we still are approaching them. I just think if we have the energy to pick up the phone and call the shelter, then I definitely think we can just take it there. In the end we are just helping our evolving society with animals. When I was looking at the Tango makes three article, I thought it was interesting because in the zoo, the keepers watched them for six years and pretty much developed and created there family today. I thought this was very unique because animals have such a different perspective on things and we definitely say that in these readings, but something that stood out to me in this particular reading was that it reminded me of happy feet because it sort of took the same concept as this except for happy feet was in the wild not in captivity. I think captivity plays a big part for animals because it changes them and I think they need to do that on their own in the wild.
