Fifty-plus years of media fearmongering coupled with targeted breed bans have produced what could be called “America’s Most Wanted” dog: the pit bull. However, at the turn of the twenty-first century, competing narratives began to change the meaning of “pit bull.” Increasingly represented as loving members of mostly white, middle-class, heteronormative families, pit bulls and pit bull–type dogs are now frequently seen as victims rather than perpetrators, beings deserving not fear or scorn but rather care and compassion.
Drawing from the increasingly contentious world of human/dog politics and featuring rich ethnographic research among dogs and their advocates, Bad Dog explores how relationships between humans and animals not only reflect but actively shape experiences of race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, nation, breed, and species. Harlan Weaver proposes a critical and queer reading of pit bull politics and animal advocacy, challenging the zero-sum logic through which care for animals is seen as detracting from care for humans. Introducing understandings rooted in examinations of what it means for humans to touch, feel, sense, and think with and through relationships with nonhuman animals, Weaver suggests powerful ways to seek justice for marginalized humans and animals together.

It was thousands of years ago when the first horses were domesticated, and up to this day, they play a huge role in our society. Although they are no longer the major means of transport, they are still useful in many different ways. There are hundreds of horse breeds in the world but some of them are what experts consider unique because they are either endangered or just very rare. Unfortunately, most of them are in the critical numbers category as there are not many of them left. There are also some that are just known to be extremely beautiful and not owned by many people.
One of the most famous rare horse breeds is the Canadian horse. This horse is a versatile horse that is not just quick, but incredibly strong as well. Known to be the oldest horse breed in the world, the Cleveland Bay Horse is very athletic with an amazing temperament, but there are less than a thousand of them that remain worldwide. Another rare breed, the Akhal-Teke horse is considered to be one of the most beautiful horses that ever existed and although they are not endangered as the other horse breeds, they are still considered incredibly rare because they cannot be found in a lot of countries.
These are just some of the rarest breeds of horses that are still alive today. Organizations all over the world are doing their best to preserve these breeds and make sure their numbers will increase to prevent extinction. Breeding is also being well managed by experts to preserve the purity of these breeds and advanced technology is playing a major role in ensuring these rare breeds will continue to survive for a long time.
The Rare and Wonderful Horse Breeds Journal depicts some very interesting horses that many of us didn't even know existed even though we have been around horses much of our lives. This journal invites you to read and learn who these horses are and where they originated from. Some of them live in remote areas of the world so it is wonderful to have the opportunity to learn about their traits and characteristics and see the beautiful pictures of these rare breeds. If you are one of those people that wants to learn all they can about the horses in our world you will love this journal and its inspirational quotes. As you are writing in this journal let your mind wander and reflect on these rare and wonderful horses.
Название: Horse breeds and human society ISBN: 0367109409 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780367109400 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 148010.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: This book demonstrates how horse breeding is entwined with human societies and identities. It explores issues of lineage, purity, status through interconnections between animals and humans.
Once a thriving population of horses covered the Americas, then they spread across the World and died out in the Americas. But, as fate would have it, they were returned to their native lands by man. The development of human societies has been transformed in the Americas by the horse. The Horse allowed indigenous man to travel faster than his two legs could carry him on land.
This book looks at the many eras of the horse in the Americas. From the ancient earliest horses to breeds created for the needs of indigenous tribes, hunters, trappers, adventurers, and settlers who populated the American continents. This book takes a close look at how man adapted the horse to meet a wide spectrum of temperatures, environments, and conditions, as well as changing the animal's size and structure to meet the needs of newly developing societies within North and South America.
