There was silence, then… BOOM! My father and I finally shot the antelope that cost us day's of determination and perseverance.

ABSTRACT The Ondatra zibethicus, otherwise known as a muskrat, is a semiaquatic rodent that is native to North America but has invaded Europe, Asia, and South America. Muskrats were first introduced within the Isles of Shoals located around the Gulf of Maine for the purposes of fur harvest in the early 1900s (Harrison, 2014). The Appledore Island muskrats, one of the Isles of Shoals, and other muskrats were compared for mitochondrial cytochrome b sequences and allele frequencies at eight different loci sights.

“Every experience, no matter how bad it seems, holds within it a blessing of some kind. The goal is to find it.” This quote from Buddhism depicts the idea of the short story, Shooting an Elephant, by George Orwell. In the story Orwell committed the crime of shooting an elephant, which legally he had the right to do, but morally felt guilty about killing an innocent animal. According to Everything's an Argument, a correct causal argument needs to have a claim, warrant, and evidence.

Crystal Stafford Ms.Thielen CIS Writing September 16th, 2016 The similarities and differences between “The Chase” and “Shooting and Elephant” are covert, and they deserve thorough examination.

In this experiment, the question that was asked was, are elephants afraid of mice? The hypothesis is if a mouse is placed near an elephant, then the elephant will be frightened. The experimenters traveled to an African safari to perform the experiment with their test subjects (an African elephant and a white mouse). They hid the mouse in elephant dung and rolled over the dung whenever elephants passed by. At first there was speculation that the elephants might have been startled by the moving dung.

As stated in “Do elephants belong in zoos?”, zoos not only fund research on wild animals but also contribute to reducing the conflicts between them and people, for example, by planting crops that frighten elephants away and exploring the cases of poaching that could affect their mortality (Cohn 717). Moreover, most of the scientific matter on elephants such as facts about their communications, reproductive physiology and behavior were originally gathered on the ground of captive animals (Cohn 717). In his article, Borrell expresses the same opinion. He states that zoos serve as “a living museum” that help scientists to find necessary information on species for the research, and these facts can be used to prevent the extinction of the animals living in the wild (Borrell 9). Besides, zoos are crucial for raising money for conservation programs by giving people firsthand wildlife experience that increases interest in wild animals (Borrell 9).
