Chantal

I loathed drinking milk as white as flour, But I loved cute cows. I loved winning games, I hated to lose my opportunity to go to singing class. I didn’t believe in the fluffy Easter Bunny, But I believed in magic. I was afraid of scary movies, But I was not frightened of goblins.
 * Yesterday… **

I dislike snakes and felines, But I adore black and white Border Collies. I wish to win at soccer matches, But I hate to fail at math tests. I don’t believe in bullies, I do imagine in faith. I am terrified of death, But I am not frightened of the truth.
 * Today…. **

I will disgust seafood, But I love working in the kitchen. I will gain scholarships, But I will hate to lose my family. I will not trust miracles But I will believe in my friends trust. I will be afraid of loosing loved ones, But I am not frightened of tipping on the road to success.
 * Tomorrow… **

= ABC Poems =

Alone in the dark night, Beautiful animals lie, Catching sight of any animal that comes by. Drifting slowly to sleep, Each animal will wake, For the morning is a new beginning. Gazelles, Hopping on their hind legs, In a new day, Jaguars will take the place as king, King of the safari…

Animals Need To Have Rights

Humans are on the top of the food chain, which gives them as much power over animals as they want. Unfortunately, as technology advances, we are cutting down more and more trees, destroying the habitats of animals. Each year thousands of animal species are disappearing. Animals must have rights or else they will continue to be beaten, abused, and killed. Humans are animals too, so why can’t animals have rights like humans? Scientists that have studied animals say that many animals have relationships; feelings and sacrifices for loved ones just like humans. Animals even suffer over death, have emotional states of anger and happiness, and influence and mislead other animals. They even understand symbolic representations and understand about cultural differences. In law systems, animals are classified as property because not one animal in the world is considered “a person” who bears the honor of rights. Each day 15 million warm-blooded animals are taken into labs for experiments and are being tortured. Unfortunately, the ecosystem is the one thing that the world cannot survive without. Since the world is full of endangered animals, we need to balance the Ying and Yang of life so that the ecosystem will not crumble. The rights of animals have been written into the society’s laws, but often these are ignored or not enforced. “Every ten seconds, an animal is beaten or abused” says Worthington Theresa. A man in Sydney prodded a pig in the face before holding an electric stick in its ear for 12 seconds. Sadly abuse like this happens daily all around the world. For example, there is a company called the “Maple Leaf Food Hatchery” whereas documented by Paul Gordon “Chicks were flung by their wings and slammed into metal dividers, there were live chicks that were sent through a hot washing machine to be scalded alive and drowned, chicks were shoved into overload maceration machines and ground up alive, sick and injured animals were deprived of proper veterinary care the chicks were discarded like trash.” If you see an animal that is currently in one of these states, then they are probably abused or neglected. There are many types of abuse. There is physical abuse and beating that would result in wounds, skin conditions, injuries, illness, or infections. Another type of abuse is being undernourished. Visibility issues, under weight, exhaustion, and could be weak or limping. The worst type of abuse is being neglected and left alone either chained in a backyar d or locked in a house without food and water. Think about everything that you have done to an animal in your life, would you want that to happen to you? Thousands of animals are becoming extinct each year. Currently, the elephants and the African Black Rhinos are in danger. Can you believe that a man from Texas used $350,000 to buy the rights for hunting endangered African Black Rhinos? Surprisingly, he told the press that it was for his own safety, although there are only 5,000 Black Rhinos left in the wild and 1,700 of them are in Namibia. Nowadays, African Black Rhinos are considered a critically endangered species. Though more than 20 years ago a law was passed globally to ban trading elephant ivory, many illegal sellers sell elephant ivory, up to $18,000 for one kilogram. It is estimated that 25,000 elephants are killed each year. If a poacher lies about how old their elephant tusk is, nuclear weapons can help to find their true age. In 1950, the Cold War had massive explosions that released radiocarbon; plants all around the world absorbed this gas. If the elephant eats a leaf that has radiocarbon there will be a trace of radiocarbon imprinted in their tusk. This means that a leaf from Africa in the 1970’s contains more radiocarbon than an elephant from the 21st century and therefore, using nuclear weapon helps to identify the amount of radiocarbon in the tusk. Currently most of the endangered animals are found in aquariums and zoos around the world. Assuming we continue to lose more species in the ecosystem, then eventually it will collapse and we will all die out. The endangered species need protection and a safe environment to live in so that the risk of them becoming extinct can gradually decrease. With thou sands of animals disappearing, we need to give animal rights or else they will suffer greater than ever. Action needs to take place in order for the animals to survive. As the leader of the food chain, we need to make sure that every animal below us are given the respect that they deserve. Remember, time doesn’t change things; you have to change them yourself.
