Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the Psittacine disease that is
not limited only to the parrot family. PBFD has been found to infect and cause disease in geese
and even guinea pigs, and it is believed to affect poultry species as well. It is now known that the
disease is caused by a virus and that feather dystrophy may be the only symptoms apparent until
shortly before death. The virus persists in the environment for long periods that may stretch into
years. It has increasing commercial implication as birds become more common pets, and it has
long-reaching implications for aviculture's efforts to preserve those species endangered by loss of
tropical habitat. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Readings on Death & Dying
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay on 3 readings from antiquity. While much has changed in the millennia since ancient Greece and Rome were in their ascendancy, the basic facts of humane existence have not changed. The specter of death haunts the modern psyche just as it did for Socrates, Plato, and Marcus Aurelius. The thoughts of these ancient philosophers can, therefore, inform modern readers as they offer food for thought on the topic of dealing with death and the fear of death. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Responsible Pet Ownership
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Being a responsible pet owner involves myriad aspects beyond providing food, water and shelter, however, far too many people mistakenly believe this is all that is required to properly care for a pet. Such concerns as veterinary care, proper containment, puppy- or kitten-proofing the home, training and a nutrient-rich diet are but a few of the main attributes responsible pet owners undertake for the entire life of the pet. No bibliography.

Retrieving A Dog

If you decide the latter, what will you do with him once you get him? The writer discusses that as urgent as medical care is for an injured animal, knowing how to correctly retrieve a dog from a precarious situation will help to not only benefit the animal but also ensure the rescuer remains uninjured, as well.

Review of R.D. Lawrence’s “In Praise of Wolves” (1986)
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 3 page review of R.D. Lawrence’s “In Praise of Wolves”. Spanish born R.D. Lawrence lives on a 100-acre wilderness farm in Haliburton Highlands, 170 km north of Toronto, Ontario and has written over 29 books on nature and wildlife. In the spring of 1983, Lawrence and his wife traveled to Ishpeming in the Upper Peninsula in Michigan to study an untamed but captive pack of wild wolves and compared their behavior to those he had previously studied in the wild and with the two wolf cubs which he himself had raised. During the study and his use of other studies he has conducted on packs in the wild, Lawrence often contradicts other scientific theories in that he proposes that in many ways, wolves in the wild provide a much closer study and comparison to human behavior than do many studies on primates, considered humans’ closest natural relatives. In addition, Lawrence through the use of biological, sociological and psychological comparisons is not afraid to apply human terms to wolves in the text. Instead, Lawrence has found that in many ways, humans could learn from wolf behavior in terms of their handling of aggression (as opposed to the human emotion of anger) and stress in the wild.

Richardson's Ground Squirrel Hibernation Habits
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. The evolution of Richardson's ground squirrels allows them to bypass the long, food-restricted winters by virtue of hibernation, a time when the mammals' entire physical composition slows down to such an extent that it takes very little in the way to keep them alive during this dormant state. With the decrease in heart and breathing, along with a significant drop in body temperature, Richardson's ground squirrels become wholly adapted to living for several months until spring renewal. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Roman Gladiator Games: The Venatio
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Animals and sports have had a long-standing love/hate relationship: For man, the benefits are more times than not skewed in his favor for conquest; for the animal, the spectacle known as entertainment is nothing more than an attempt at fighting for his life. For the Roman gladiators, animal slaughter was mere folly – a precursor to the real event: human-to-human massacre. It is interesting, however, the extent to which the Roman Government went in order to supply these events with the massive numbers of animals required, often scouring the Roman Empire and beyond as a means by which to capture and retrieve the thousands upon thousands of various species tagged for such a dreadful fate. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
