When you think about which animal you least want to show up when you're wounded and helpless, lions pretty much take the cake (and your face, and then some limbs, because they're lions). But on the contrary, lions also have a softer, kitten-like center, that leads them to care for some unlikely creatures. Lions are only one of the types of animals that have been shown to care for humans. There are examples of lions actually showing empathy for humans. A 12 year old Ethiopian girl who was abducted and beaten by men trying to force her into a marriage, was found being guarded by three lions who apparently had chased off her captors. The police said that the lions had been guarding her for about half a day. Not only abstaining from munching on the little girl themselves, but also making sure that nothing else got close to her. However, when the police arrived, the lions finally departed. Experts say that the lions might have been reacting to the girl's tears as if they …show more content…
When a woman named Jo Ann had a heart attack, LuLu the potbelly pig took one look and sprang into action -- by giving her owner open-heart surgery with her snout! Just kidding -- LuLu bolted for help, which was heroic in itself, considering her girth. The problem was that she had never left the fenced yard before. How would a 150-pound ham ball manage a fence latch? We'll never know, but I've got money on Porky walking upright. Either way, LuLu escaped her yard and found a highway. She waited for a car to come by, then walked out into the middle of the road and LAID DOWN TO TRY TO GET THE CARS TO STOP. When no one stopped, Lulu would intermittently go back to Jo Ann to make sure she was OK. After 45 minutes of drivers thinking it was perfectly natural to have to swerve to avoid a giant pig on the highway, someone finally stopped to see what was up with huge hog using the street for a
Death of Rapper Tim Dog Confirmed by NBC Tim Dog, (aka Timothy Blair) the rapper from the Bronx who allegedly faked his death, is now confirmed dead. The backstory maintains that the rapper faked his own death in order to avoid paying the $19,000 he owed Mississippi single mom Esther Pilgrim, whom he defrauded, and the five years of probation that went along with the charge of grand larceny in 2011. Eight months later The Source, a culture magazine, released word online that the “F--ck Compton” rapper had died of a seizure caused by diabetes in 2013. A memorial service was held and a PayPal account was set up to benefit the rapper’s daughter. However, months after the memorial service for the forty-six year old, no death certificate had been

Robert has a pig that he takes care of because he saved Ben Tanners calf. Ben Tanner gave him the pig as a reward. Robert only has one
I will always remember my dog, Tootsie, fondly. The first night that we had her, she woke me up in the middle of the night. I should have been upset, but as I sat and held her, I knew that she would be an important part of my life. She was always there when I was growing up, happy to see me and ready to play with her stuffed baseball. She was there at family events like Christmas and Thanksgiving, brightening up people’s holidays.
The American Pit Bull Terrier is a type of dog. In my opinion, the best type of dog. They have a muscular build, which is normally what attracts people to them. Determination is their most seen trait. Everything they do, they do with pride and nothing less.

Mr. Hogget carried the pig and guessed the correct weight. When he takes the pig to the farmhouse a sheepdog named Fly, and her pups talk about how humans only eat the "stupid" animals like cows, pigs, and chickens. When Fly see 's the pig, she feels bad for him and regrets the things she said about him. Fly asks the pigs, " What 's your name?", the pig answers that he does not have a name,
The next day, Jane was helping break horses. Whatever she had to do to help she would do. That same day, she was walking with the horse, and the horse started to buck, and kick. She didn’t know what to do. She just started to run away from the stallion.
One of the biggest fearless cats is the Lion. They live in the African Savanna with the rest of the savanna animals. Lions are 420 pounds and 39ft. Lions have tan fur. Believe it or not it is actually cooler in the summer by a few degrees or so.
Due to their social nature, both lions and wolves have one of the most complex forms of communication with one another. Both their forms of communication consist of vocal communication, scent marking, acts of affection, facial expressions, and olfactory communication. Lions make a variety of calls, each with its own grading of volume, intensity, tempo and tone. A lion’s most notable form of communication is their roar but their vocal communication extends to grunts, moans, growls, snarls, meows, purrs, hums, and puffs. The roar of a lion, which can be heard five to six miles away, serves to intimidate rivals, assert territorial ownership, let the members of the pride know where you are, or locate other members of the pride, and to strengthen
A puppy mill is “an establishment that breeds puppies for sale, typically on an intensive basis and in conditions regarded as inhumane.” There are thousands of puppy mills in the United States, some of which are not recorded. Therefore, the ASPCA has concluded that there could be over 10,000 puppy mills in the United States. There are many issues regarding puppy mills, from the way they treat the animals and the upkeep of their environment. Many of the puppy mills are not regulated and not licensed to own a puppy mill.
Introduction Mountain lions, also known as pumas or a cougar, the Felis Concolor Hippolestes have a very vague history. The fossil record of these large felines is a mystery to many, according to the Mountain Lion Foundation, for two reasons. The first, is that most ancestral cats occupied tropical forests where the environmental factors made it difficult to preserve fossils. The second was that the physical characteristics of these large cats were similar to the capture of prey making it difficult to distinguish a felines structure. Because these cats are so difficult to distinguish due to their similarities, there have been many debates about different species of cats, who their ancestors are and where they originated from.
Are pit bulls dangerous dogs or are they just stereotyped? When comparing all breeds of dog, pit bulls are a good choice for a family dog in spite of the common misconception about their aggressive and unpredictable behavior. Pit bulls are known for a reputation of being vicious and aggressive, but really pit bulls aren’t any more or less dangerous than other breeds. These misconceptions are usually a result of people being uneducated about pit bulls.
This is why I think factory farming should be banned for all the safety hazards and the animal abuse towards those pigs. If we replaced all those factory farms with family farms where the cattle or pigs can run around and play until they get butchered instead of sitting in pins all there life and getting trampled to death. They also have to live in there own feces, and the ventilation system isn’t the best. Where on a family farm the animals would be able to run around without getting trampled to death, or having to live in there own feces.
Finally, the pounding stopped and she slowed her own animals. In the dark, she could hear the heavy breathing of the horses, hoped it was only her own. With the trail dry, it had been easy to see where all the wagons had traveled before them and the horses followed the road, even after she fell asleep in the saddle. Exhausted, just before dawn, with the sky slowly lightning, the road moved
