The Importance Of Saving My Raccoon

909 Words4 Pages

I never realize saving an animal’s life would give people hope and faith, until I saved a baby raccoon one day during last summer when I was on a family camping trip. We were at a gas station when it all happened, and the people in side asked me why I saved the raccoon, because it was just a baby I said. Yeah but it could have bit you a lady said to me, if it did then fine i would deal with it, and she walked away from me. I didn’t care because I was happy that I did something right.
It was a very hot summer day in Warsaw MO, we were on are way to the campground when we stopped at a gas station to get gas and drinks. We were just getting out of our truck and my dad was getting ready to put gas in our truck when someone yelled out loud were everyone could hear him, “look at that raccoon”. My family and I turned around to see the raccoon. It was a baby raccoon with its head stuck in a can going in circles in the parking lot. Poor thing it’s going to get hit or something if someone don’t help it, I thought to myself. I knew I had to help the poor thing if I don’t help it then it would probably die. …show more content…

I bent down to grab the baby raccoon, when my sister started to yell at me. “Why are you yelling at me I want to help it”, I yelled at her. She was only pointing at something over my shoulder, I turned around to see a big raccoon coming my way. I got to my feet real fast and took a few steps back, thinking that it’s the baby raccoons mother.

  • Jeremy Rifkin A Change Of Heart About Animals Summary

    723 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the article titled "A Change of Heart About Animals," (2003), author Jeremy Rifkin addresses that contrary to previous research and discovery, new breakthroughs in science are finding that animals are more comparable to humans than we once thought, and as a result, human empathy should be extended towards them. Rifkin supports his claim by providing numerous examples of studies that show capabilities of animals to make tools (crows), develop complex language skills (Gorilla), and present signs of self-awareness (Orangutan); things once believed only to be human characteristics (Rifkin 7, 8, 10). The author's purpose is to inform and convince the readers that empathy should be inclusive to all animals by providing a multitude of studies,

    Many Americans blindly believe that animals deserve the same rights as humans, but little do they know about the differences between the welfare of animals and the rights of animals. In the article A Change of Heart about Animals, Jeremy Rifkin cleverly uses certain negative words in order to convince the readers that animals need to be given same rights as humans, and if not more. Research has shown that non-human animals have the ability to “feel pain, suffer and experience stress, affection, excitement and even love” (Rifkin 33). Animals may be able to feel emotions, however this does not necessarily mean that they are able to understand what having rights mean. While humans must accept their moral responsibility to properly care for animals,

In addition, I do believe that humans have direct ethical duties towards animals especially if they are our pets, livestock, and etc. The bible makes many references to animals as our property and a form of offering to God. There is one reference that leads me to believe that there is a sense of direct care that can be deemed ethical.
