Alewife Management And Ecology
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The water sources of late are clearly demonstrating the consequences of overwhelming pollution and encroachment by killing off a significant percentage of alewife, which, in turn, serves to threaten those species that depend upon the fish species as a primary food source. What is being done to correct this drastic situation is too little too late according to critics, who contend that the alewife population, once so plentiful that the only implement necessary to catch them was a spoon, struggles for survival against pollution and man's encroachment upon fast disappearing spawning grounds. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Animal Cruelty And Problems With Humane Society
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Mankind has deceived its furry, finned and scaled friends by its disgraceful disregard for their basic rights as living beings. Nowhere is it written that humans, while perhaps the most developed of all species, are the rulers over their nonspeaking counterparts. Whether or not a person believes animals have the same rights as humans is not the issue: The issue is that animals have the same innate right to a life free of pain, suffering and exploitation as man does, regardless if they are lower on the life chain. Animals have no one to defend them; mankind must adopt the role of their caretaker or prepare to suffer the consequences. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Animal Facilitated Therapy
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages. Social work theories have repeatedly demonstrated the beneficial connection between pets and people, primarily with those who are confined to residential and nursing homes due to either age or illness. Their lives have been essentially stripped away from them, so it would seem the last thing they need is for their beloved pet to be forcibly taken from them, as well. What scientific studies continue to show is how animals provide physical and emotional benefits just with their mere presence. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
