Abstract:
The present article is an attempt to look at the human-animal relationship in selected stories from T. Coraghessan Boyle’s two collections: Tooth and Claw (2006) and Wild Child (2010). In “Thirteen Hundred Rats,” “Tooth and Claw” and “Admiral” Boyle ponders on human motivations behind such controversial contemporary practices as keeping exotic pets, hoarding animals and cloning dogs. The stories focus on the dark side of pet-keeping, rarely touched upon in literary representations of this widespread social practice. Boyle seems to doubt the sincerity of human devotion to animal companions, pre

Cultures from the cerebrospinal fluid and a swab of the left ear revealed Gram-negative coccobacillus identified asP multocida. The organism was sensitive to ceftriaxone, ampicillin and penicillin, and a 14-day course of intravenous penicillin was used as definitive treatment,

Abstract:
Rabies is a viral illness that can be prevented but is lethal. It can spread to humans and pets if they are bitten or scratched by a rabid animal. In many other countries, dogs still carry the rabies virus, and dog bites are the leading cause of rabies-related deaths in humans worldwide. The rabies virus affects the central nervous system, damaging the brain and eventually causing death. Rabies is one of the most dangerous and well-known zoonotic diseases, occurring in warm-blooded animals. Symptoms include unusual behavior, nervousness, impaired consciousness, ascending paralysis, and death.

Abstract:
Managing the risk of injury or illness is an important consideration when keeping pets. This risk can be minimized if pets are monitored on a regular basis, but this can be difficult and time-consuming. However, because only the external behavior of the animal can be observed and the internal condition cannot be assessed, the animal’s state can easily be misjudged. Additionally, although some systems use heartbeat measurement to determine a state of tension, or use rest to assess the internal state, because an increase in heart rate can also occur as a result of exercise, it is desirable to us

Their nesting habits create mounds of soil as they bring subsoil to the surface in making their galleries and nests. One of the more prominent is the cicada killer, a large wasp with unusual habits. It produces major soil surface disruption while burrowing, in part because of its large size. This species is also called the sand hornet or golden digger wasp.

Abstract The law concerning liability for injury caused by animals is a compromise between two conflicting interests. The behaviour of animals, however tame, cannot always be controlled and may result in injury to others who are blameless. It is reasonable keep an animal, whether as a pet or for agriculture, and yet it is not reasonable to expect that such animals will be kept so closely confined and controlled as to eliminate all risk of injury to others. With the types of animal commonly kept in Britain, whether as pets or for agriculture, people can be expected to know and to cope with the
