9-11 Picture

September 11th was one of the darkest days in American History. I think a lot of people can remember exactly where they were on that dark day. No one will ever forget the disturbing image of the planes crashing into the buildings, or when the towers collapsed, or the devistated people running from the debris. Even though the terrorist attacks left created such a devistating day in our history, some good did come out of the attacks. For example, the economy took off. Because of all of the supplies needed to clean and repair the buildings, the economy thrived. Secondly, homeland security became a top priority. The airports, bus stations, concerts, places with thousands of people, are much safer and more secure so we can try to prevent another tragedy from happening. One of the biggest benefits you can visibly see is how the citizens of this country came together and bonded for a common cause. We all worked together to make New York City and all of the other crash sites like new again. September 11th left a huge hole in our hearts. However, from all of the problems, conflicts, and hurt it left, it allowed the United States to grow in numerous ways. It allowed us to grow in ways we didn't know we could.

White Tigers "Fact Vs Fiction"

(/center>
This video was mainly about white tigers and what they go through to become the color that they are. It is an informative piece of work. The first white tiger was a color defect that humans found. They tried to breed the white tiger to a normal tiger and the offspring was orange. So, like humans normally do, they caused problems. They chose to breed the offspring with the mother. This produced an animal today that has joint problems and numerous other defects to it. Now a days, to get the beautiful white tigers that they use in magic shows and other entertainment areas, they "throw out" perfectly good tigers until they get the proper one. For example, since they are all in-bred, the baby tiger may not grow to its full potential because it will have so many defects. So, as a result, the baby will die and the humans will just continue on until they get the big, beautiful tiger they are looking for. In nature, you can barely find a white tiger around. They are all orange because of its natural habitat. In the jungle, they need to be able to camouflage themselves for hunting purposes. If they are white, it causes problems because the animal they are trying to hunt will see them coming and be able to escape. It is very unnatural for a tiger to be white. In the end, I believe that it is wrong to use these animals for entertainment purposes since so many are getting hurt from it. It is unfair to the tigers to put them through in-breeding. Most of the time it will not work anyways. Tigers are supposed to be orange, once again humans interfered with nature and harmed another beautiful creature.
