Did You Know This About Eggs?

Chickens: Amusing Pets, or Mistreated Animals?

First, let’s start with the human’s point of view. We’ll call this person Sue.  Sue’s grandparents are coming to visit. She wants to bake a lemon cake for them. Sue is an excellent cook, but she is worried. “What if it doesn’t taste good?” She wonders. She quickly adds the eggs and samples the batter. Mmmm, so good. After spreading the batter on the pan, Sue scrapes around the mixing bowl to get the extra batter. Delicious.

​The side effects come later.

Sue is now suffering uncontrollable vomiting and dehydration. Her panicked parents rush her  to the hospital. But wait, what is the story?

Eggs. That’s what.

Every year, 42,000 americans are infected with the salmonella parasite, which comes from eating raw eggs. Notice, that I said Americans. Why no others? Because America will do anything to produce more eggs. You see, most countries have laws about chicken raising; that they must have space to run around, and lay their eggs in a clean place. America doesn’t have this law. Instead, egg producers discovered that they could produce four times the eggs by packing each chicken in a1x1 foot box. They are fed too much, and grow abnormally overweight without opportunity for exercise. They have no room to lay their eggs cleanly. It is a terrible environment for any living thing. After laying eggs 10 or 15 times, these hens will die from a great variety of health problems.

So, think about this the next time you sneak a bite of raw batter from the next batch of cookies.

Pit Bulls: The Hard Lives They Endure

(Found on pixbay.com)
​Pit bulls are loving dogs even though they were bred to be fighting dogs. Unfortunately, not everyone is kind and caring about animals. Some people have very sick minds. These people (often with criminal records) will adopt a pit bull and take his/her sweet personality away, torturing the animal until it becomes  a vicious killer. Then they set free them on innocent people. You would think that such people would be arrested, but they often aren’t. Instead, the authorities put the dogs down for a crime they had no choice but to commit.
 
It is difficult to decide which is worse: the pit bull getting put down for attacking, or that they are killed for disobeying their masters. Out of fear, many towns ban pit bulls. Personally, I think those places should ban crazy people, not animals.
 
Do they expect pit bulls to know that they shouldn’t attack? Are they expected to know the law? Did anyone ever tell them? No. They shouldn’t be. Crazy people, yes. Innocent pooches, no way. Fortunately, there are people who see right and wrong. These people are trying to make changes. In conclusion, pit bulls receive more unfair treatment than any other dog in America. Hopefully, this will change someday.

THE FAWN EPISODE

It was just a normal Saturday morning, the last day I would expect something amazing to happen. And yet it did. More amazing than anything I could dream of.  That’s just how life works. Small miracles happen when you least expect it. Small miracles that touch your heart and are impossible to forget.

Living in Colorado, I’ve seen hundreds of deer and elk. There are also thousands of different bird species here. And many, many rodents. I see them every day. Whether it is just a crow hopping along a fence, or a pair of bull elk fighting with their antlers. They're all beautiful in their own way.

But the most touching thing I’ve ever seen was the rare beauty of a newborn fawn. I call it the fawn episode because the fascination lasted about as long as an episode of a TV show. It was the most enchanting half-hour of my whole life. It happened over a year ago, but I still remember it vividly.

It all started as we were going home from the grocery store. One of the other girls in the neighborhood ran out in front of the car, causing my mother to slam on the breaks. She rolled down the window and asked what this was all about. “There are two fawns out there who were just born yesterday!” she squealed. My mother stopped the car right there and we ran to see the newborn wonders. We came to a pause at the big tree. And there! Two tiny scrawny fawns were curled up side by side. One was sleeping like a rock, whereas the other was wide awake, fearfully watching us. Ready to defend her brother. Most of the neighborhood children were there. Staring in wonder, exclaiming in hushed voices, and snapping pictures on on our cameras, and in our hearts. We still see the young deer now, but they are no longer the tiny things they used to be. Now they aren’t even with their mother. They roam free unaware of our fascination for them.

    My name is Nora. I’m 12 years old and now in Middle School. I live in Colorado. I have a sister, a mother, and a stepfather. I don't have any pets, but I still love animals. My favorite animal is a leopard seal. I have a bunch of pictures on my bedroom wall of them. I also like servals, fossas, rhinos, elephants, tapers, and  sea turtles. I love to read, run, and  ride my bike. I play the violin and  the piano. My biggest dream is to be an occupational  therapist, so I can help children with cerebral  palsy. My favorite band  is the Beatles. I would like to write about leopard  seals and other animals in the North and South Pole such as penguins and orcas.   THANKS FOR READING!  ​​
