When Animals Attack

Christine


Animals are our pets, they have been known to be the most unique people. They’ve been on this earth as long as we humans have been and they deserve to be treated the same way as us. Wild animals tend to get out of hand when trainers try to tame them. But that shouldn’t stop them from living, the point is you can’t take away anyone's life, not even a wild animal because they are not meant to be played with. So to elaborate off of that, here is a story about when a wild animal attacked.

In February 2010, a Sea World trainer was attacked by a killer whale. She was standing on a poolside platform when the killer whale put the woman in its jaws and pulled/dragged her around in the water. It killed her in front of the audience. This is not the first time this killer whale has done an attack. This is actually the third time he has attacked and killed a person.


“ORLANDO, Fla. — A Sea World killer whale snatched a trainer from a poolside platform Wednesday in its jaws and thrashed the woman around underwater, killing her in front of a horrified audience. It marked the third time the animal had been involved in a human death.” (Huffpost Green, Mike Schneider 2/24/10.)


In conclusion, I think that this would have never happen if the trainer did try to tame a KILLER WHALE! Common sense would have saved her.

One thing parents need to know about this movie, is that it contain some bad language that is used rarely but still is bad. The two main bad words that they use is da** and he**, but mostly he**.The age for this movie would probably be 11+ because of the violence and language going on in this movie.

Happy Birthday Lady Gaga!!!

Rachel Tejeda

Today's the day a woman, who made her entrance at the Grammys inside of an egg, wore a meat dress at the VMAs and preformed paparazzi at the VMAs last year with a preference that made her bleed at the end, turns 25. Lady Gaga was born the way she is, and she is turning the big 2-5. Lady Gaga was born in New York City with the birth name of Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. Lady Gaga got her stage name form Radio Ga-Ga which she sang to as a child. Lady Gaga has been a hit ever since she became famous. They say she wears those very unique clothes to show off but it really isnt that; she was just born that way. As you can see her song Born This Way was a big hit.

I really liked how she shows herself and how she doesnt let anyone stop her from being different. In my opinion Lady Ga-Ga could be a great role model to many people. She is not only talented but because of her clothes but all of her songs have a great meaning. For example Born This Way is a great song that gets people thinking about life and how everything is especially teenagers when they are going though there stage that they dont know what to do with life. The song really talks about being yourself and that nothing matters because you were born the way you are and that god made you like that for a reason. Lady Gaga all though all her crazy outfits she is greatly admired.
