Should animals be stunned before slaughter?

Some people around the world are asking if the animals should be stunned before they get slaughtered. Some people say that they should be because some dangerous animals could hurt people if they don't get stunned first. But other people say that the people should just slaughter the animals right away without getting them stunned. But they are wrong because if the people don't stun the animals, they would get really hurt and nobody wants that. But the true thing that the other people say that animals should never be killed because killing animals is never friendly. Right now there are several groups like PETA fighting for the animals rights and the government doesn't know what to do. Many people fight to win against the animal rights but the war is very hard to win for either side. Finally in the end, the government has finally made their final desision but that will be revealed in the next article part 2 because the article ends right here but will be continued next time.

My first thought about this article was that I agree with the people that say that animas shouldn't now be killed because that is very unfriendly. But I'm really excited about the second part of the story because I am going to write about it as soon as it comes out. Leave me some comments on gmail about your thoughts about which decision do you think the government will make.

About 600 of scientists have published this week found that a majority think it'stime to consider conservation triage. But there is a bigger problem. People don't know if they should save the panda or the tiger because they cannot save them both. So they have to save only one animal and let the other one die and the people dont want that to happen. People are having a hard time to descide which one to save. Some people say that they should save the tiger because tigers are very beautiful animals and also great preditor. But other people say that they should save the panda because pandas are also beautiful but dangerous and the nature made them also weird. Even other people or kids say that they want to save both of the animals. But the scientists are not so sure about that. If we would save the tiger, then all the people that love pandas would feel sad. And if we would save the panda, then people would feel sad too. I dont know who we should save ether because it is a very tough desicion to make.

My first though about this artical was that I felt almost like crying because I didnt want any of the two animals to die. If only someone would know how to save both of them because everyone would be happy. And I dont like it whe people are sad because if other people are sad, then I feel sad for them too.

The Chinese people have created this satelite called "Shenzou 8 craft" which is contacted with a science lab Tiangong 1. This spacecraft has missiles and lazers in its hidden body which could come in use when a meteor strikes at the earth. The Chinese people said that no astronauts are allowed in space until the spacecraft is deactivated. Some people said that the spacecraft can contact any hard locations around the earth and can fire missiles at any target the Chinese people tell it to.

At first what is so interesting that the spacecraft has contacted a place that any Chinese people can contact to? That is strange and confusing. But my first thought about this article was that the Chinese people should get that spacecraft back to Earth because astronaut's launches might be canceled and if the spacecraft would send a missile on a hideout, it might also catch people in the explosion but when I read the last part of the article, the machine sounded safe so I don't have to worry about it anymore but I hate to see explosions near people because they would have to spend a lot of time in the hospital.

Goals in humanities

I want get better in learning new things and always doing my very best.

Never give up on anything that I forget to do or that I cannot do.

I shall always find new information on websites and show them to the class.

I want to prove that I'm good in humanities and that I'm interested in it.

What we have done in humanities so far

Previously in humanities, we started to learn so many new things and started doing posters and myth stories. Right now we started learning about space and planets, creating our own countries, and made a myth poster. Humanities started to be interesting and very exciting and the whole class works very well together and we are all ready for new challenges. When we were doing the create your own country, it was about making your own country and creating the name, places, and everything else that the new nation needs. The name of my country was Rexogamania and I made the country out of a clay model. Ms. Jeftic said that it was beautiful. Right now we are learning about space and planets but we are also still learning about myths and legends. In myths we did posters about old myth and we had to write about them. I have chosen to write about Cerberus and my summary was pretty good. And about planets, we just started working on that but we don‘t know much about the entire universe yet or other planets, but I am sure that soon we will know a lot. We started with easy steps and then we will go to the hard ones and I think I am ready for that. But still humanities is my favorite subject and I am waiting of what new things we are going to learn about.

My first thought about humanities

My first humanities class was a double class period and I was really looking forward to it. I have learned from my first class that humanities is a combined study of history of the human race and our planet Earth as well as geography. I believe that this class is going to be very exciting and interesting for me because there are many topics that I want to learn about from the past. I am very glad that I have so many people in my class that I feel comfortable working with because that means that group projects will be fun. However, I am also ready to be challenged and work very hard on my essays and other homework.   

What I want to learn

I want to learn about old myths and legends from interesting books.

I want to learn about Ancient Egypt and World War II.

I want to learn about how people lived 200 years ago.

I want to learn about neanderthals.

I want to learn how the Earth was created.
