The Tampa Bay Times reports that Big Cat Res- cue founder Carole Baskin, prominently fea- tured in Netflix’s Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness, started selling face masks with her oft-quoted catch- phrase Saturday. The dual-layered tie masks feature the words “Hey all you cool cats and kittens” above a whis- kered feline smile. View- ers of the popular docu-series know that’s Baskin’s catchphrase. Masks cost $11 each and come in black or leop- ard print. The masks are being sold to raise money to help big cats. Portions of the proceeds also sup- port first-responders.

  • Bovine Benefactories: an Examination of the Role of Religion in Cow Sanctuaries Across the United States
    BOVINE BENEFACTORIES: AN EXAMINATION OF THE ROLE OF RELIGION IN COW SANCTUARIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES _______________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board _______________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ________________________________________________________________ by Thomas Hellmuth Berendt August, 2018 Examing Committee Members: Sydney White, Advisory Chair, TU Department of Religion Terry Rey, TU Department of Religion Laura Levitt, TU Department of Religion Tom Waidzunas, External Member, TU Deparment of Sociology ABSTRACT This study examines the growing phenomenon to protect the bovine in the United States and will question to what extent religion plays a role in the formation of bovine sanctuaries. My research has unearthed that there are approximately 454 animal sanctuaries in the United States, of which 146 are dedicated to farm animals. However, of this 166 only 4 are dedicated to pigs, while 17 are specifically dedicated to the bovine. Furthermore, another 50, though not specifically dedicated to cows, do use the cow as the main symbol for their logo. Therefore the bovine is seemingly more represented and protected than any other farm animal in sanctuaries across the United States. The question is why the bovine, and how much has religion played a role in elevating this particular animal above all others. Furthermore, what constitutes a sanctuary? Does

Factory Farming Nearly all animal products consumed in the United States come from animals raised on factory farms, which are industrial-scale agricultural facilities that keep hundreds to thousands of animals in high-density confinement.1 These factory farms are only one component of the highly-consolidated animal agriculture industry, which is no longer controlled by family farmers, but by a handful of large corporations. The animal agriculture industry produces cheap animal products by prioritizing efficiency above all other considerations, including animal welfare, the environment, rural communities, human health, workers, and small family farms.

  • 'Tiger King' Shines Light on an Endangered Species Act Quirk by Stephanie Clark
    'Tiger King' Shines Light On An Endangered Species Act Quirk By Stephanie Clark The sweeping and rapid ascent to popularity of Netflix Inc.'s "Tiger King" documentary series has fueled new interest in two congressional bills that stalled in committee last year, and has drawn public attention to a quirk of the Endangered Species Act, or ESA. The series, which focuses on the strange and true story of Joseph "Joe Exotic" Maldonado-Passage, broadly covers the existence of private zoos in the U.S., with a specific focus on big cat zoos and sanctuaries. As the series notes from the beginning, each of the big cats featured in these zoos is an endangered species whose numbers have dwindled significantly in the wild. How, then, are these private zoo Stephanie Clark owners permitted to breed captive endangered species, such as tigers? This is a quirk of the ESA. While the ESA protects these species from take "wherever found," it also allows for captive-bred wildlife to exist within the U.S., and provides an exception from the take prohibition for registered captive-bred wildlife. Specifically, the ESA's captive- bred wildlife program and a variety of other laws and regulations govern the keeping, breeding and transfer of wildlife that is otherwise endangered but located in zoos and sanctuaries in the U.S. What does the ESA prohibit? The ESA prohibits "taking" of endangered species. "Take" is defined to mean harm, harass, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture or collect. The ESA also makes it illegal to import, export, deliver, receive, carry, transport, ship in interstate or foreign commerce, sell or offer for sale in interstate or foreign commerce, take on the high seas, possess, ship, deliver, carry, transport, sell, or receive unlawfully taken wildlife.

  • Some Cultural and Linguistic Functions of Obituaries In
    WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN AND WHERE WE TALK ABOUT DEATH: SOME CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC FUNCTIONS OF OBITUARIES IN MODERN AMERICAN CULTURE A RESEARCH PAPER SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULLFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTERS OF ARTS BY CRYSTAL D. KIDD DR. ELIZABETH RIDDLE-ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA DECEMBER 2011 2 Death is not an option, but writing and publishing an obituary is a choice—a choice that many people still make every day. The reasons behind it are many because published obituaries continue to serve many private and public functions. They announce a death to a community. They extend an invitation to attend a funeral both explicitly and often also implicitly to the general public. They are a permanent public record of a death. They are a commemoration of a life lived and valued as well as a written public rhetorical space for reflecting the personal and social values surrounding death and life within a society‟s mainstream culture. This study will examine how U.S. American mainstream culture writes about death as it occurs every day to ordinary people. Drawing from a number of sources that concern the interconnected fields of sociolinguistics, English language rhetoric and writing, communication studies, as well as my own original research, my primary aim here is to explore questions concerning what the modern, twenty-first century, U.S. obituary reveals about our cultural understanding of death and ways in which the modern obituary format influences how we announce, honor, and say farewell to the individual. Specifically, this paper will address two related areas of inquiry concerning obituaries as cultural and linguistic artifacts.
