The Ones Who Killed The Bear (part II)
On Monday, two joggers thought they saw the bear lumbering towards them through the dawn, which sent them into hysterics. Though the “bear” turned out to be a neighborhood dog, jogging was suddenly deemed “no longer safe.” By Tuesday, rumors that the bear had ruthlessly chased two joggers had spread all over town. The townsfolk rushed to their local Kmart, and by Wednesday, every can of bear mace...
The Ones Who Killed The Bear
by Chelsea Bets Christenson
The bear showed up on the fifth of May, a Saturday, and the first warm day of the year. The townsfolk were all gathered on the valley floor, at the lake, celebrating the approach of summer. Their children splashed in the green water, while they drank cheap beer and congratulated each other as only secretly competitive neighbors can. Their community was called Bear...

Voice of the Voiceless: Final chapter
Conclusion
Man is often considered the most intelligent of animals, and judging by the sheer capacity of our intellect, this appears true. However, it is interesting to compare humans with nonhuman animals in our ability to live within our means on finite resources. Though nonhuman animals lack the ability to intellectualize their existence, they also lack the desire to do so. While humans...

Philosophical Perspective
Philosopher James Rachels acknowledges that meat eating is a common, accepted part of our daily lives; “people have always eaten meat; and many find it difficult even to conceive of what an alternate diet would be like” (“Vegetarianism” 467).

This is not how animals were supposed to live” (qtd. in Sayre 3). So what exactly is a factory farm? According to the American Society for the Prevention of...

In addition, animal concentration camps have become one of our main providers of sustenance....
