As animal behavior specialist Temple Grandin explains: "For people, solitary confinement is one of the worst punishments you can put them through, and it's no different for animals. Animals need friends and companions, and humans need to make sure they have them." Unfortunately, confining tetherdogs in kennels and ing them for long periods of time are legally protected. If an owner provides a dog with water, food and shelter, and otherwise ignores the animal, no offense has been perpetrated. I know this, sadly, having reached out for help without success from law enforcement, animal control and animal welfare organizations. I have been wondering what role those of us in the Dixie State University community who care about animals can do to change laws that sanction cruelty of this sort. A letter campaign to local officials might help. Another idea in might be the formation of a club on campus that strives to bring attention to the suffernot just ing of animals with an imprisoned dogs eye to improving their condi- continued from page 4 for tomorrow to be the best day of someone's life because they don't know what kind of blessings may come their way. For someone like Shad-ma- n Bashir, a native citizen of Pakistan and an adjunct professor in the social and behavioral sciences department, gaining citizenship would mean a lot to him. He said people in this country take their basic freedoms for granted. "I want to apply for citizenship because when I become a citizen, my rights will increase," Bashir said.

Why not start a club that helps them, too? Stephen Armstrong Associate professor of English work hard in and out of a class, expand my knowledge and even ace the final exam. But, depending on my professor, the best grade I could get would be a "B" if I missed five days of class or more throughout the semester. , ,, isn't better for your eating both naturally gluten-fre- e foods and healthy gluten options and in cutting out or limiting refined foods and sugary treats. Enjoy your gluten if you can. I'll be looking at you jealously aisle. from the gluten-fre- e foreign resident." Bashir said he wants to apply for citizenship next year after he has lived out his time on his green card. Have we ever gone to such great lengths to show how much we value the freedoms and rights we have? I know I haven't. Even though we take our freedoms for granted, we appreciate the things around us that reminders of what America is all about. We live in an amazing country. A country that gives us more rights than most of us know. We should not take our freedoms for granted because if we do, one day we may lose that very freedom. In the words of "Anchorman" Ron Burgundy, "Don't just have a great night, have an American night." a Meanwhile, the kid to my right could put in half the effort and get the same grade or higher just by showing up. I am not encouraging students to skip class. Please go to class. But do so because it is the wise and correct thing to do. Professors should not force us to come to class nor reward us if we do show up. It is time to breathe some responsibility into this institution, and it starts with us. . |
