For instance “Rikki-Tikki felt his eyes growing red and hot.” (para 31). This implies Rikki was furious at Nagaina because she dodged his bite and Rikki only got her tail.

    After reading “A Change of Heart about Animals”, Jeremy Rifkins argues that animals should be treated in a more humane way. I agree with Rifkins argument because I have seen animals get abuse and it should not be like that. People may say that they do not feel anything but THEY DO! It’s similar to when a humane it getting abused.

    Deep in Cajun country there is a legend, it is the legend of a shape shifter known by the locals as the Rougarou. The Rougarou is known to suck the blood out of its prey, somewhat similar to the Mexican Chupacabra, but unlike the Chupacabra, the Rougarou does not have a preference to a certain animal such as the Chupacabra to goats. The Rougarou is known to stalk farm animals and decimate the bodies in the night, leaving the farmers in dismay as to who or what has killed his/her livestock.

He implies throughout the article that animals like us, feel pain, experience stress, affection, excitement, and even love (33) .
