The Sioux Pine Ridge reservation lies ...

As the amount of human settlers increased, these creatures were seen as a potential danger, as a pest, threatening livestock.

Abstract

This is a review of a paper called, “Are Humans the Source of Canine Mange? From the journal Parasites and Vectors. I reviewed the paper and determined that the study was both accurate and sound.

The issue of illegal immigration is one that has plagued this country for decades - in the last twenty years or so, the topic has stirred up a great deal of controversy, particularly given the phenomenon of Mexican immigrants smuggling themselves illegally into the country. However, the issue from the perspective of the illegal immigrant is often not discussed or considered. Far too many people believe that it is far too easy for them to sneak into our country and take jobs or otherwise "leech" off the American Dream; very few people consider the enormous dangers and costs that they ...

Charles Siebert’s ‘Call of the Wild’ tells of the death of his beloved Jack Russells terrier in the hands of coyotes. It is set in the woods of Quebec, in a rundown property called Wickerby where the author and his wife Bex visit every summer. From the very beginning of the story, the coyotes and their habits seem to dominate over everything else. The story is however not an expose on coyotes as a species, although the author does reveal that he has studied up on the coyotes in the twelfth paragraph. In the beginning paragraphs of the story, ...
