    Ancient civilizations in Peru and Ecuador had access to fresh seafood along the coast of the Southern Pacific Ocean. The Humboldt current supplied the region with a rich variety of fish, squid, and shellfish. Smaller tribes along the coast, took raw seafood and created a basic version of ceviche. They would season the raw fish with chile peppers, salt, and herbs. Fruit marinades such as chichi and tumbo were used to complete this primitive dish. As Spanish and indigenous culture merged into Peru and Ecuador, the natives began to experiment with new ingredients. Cooks paired the juice of the citrus fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges with the fresh seafood brought in from the coast. It was then that ceviche as we know today was first invented. It was discovered that the acid in the…

During that time the USDA promoted these businesses to try and help the economy. Eventually pet stores decided to become partners with these farms and put these animals in their stores to increase their business.

    To begin with, a puppy mill is a business that breeds and sells puppies in order to make a large profit. Often times, female dogs are bred constantly and at every possible moment without any time to heal or rest. Eventually, when the female dog can no longer reproduce, they are commonly killed to make more room for others.

    Everyone may love going into the pet store and seeing all of the cute puppies in the window. What many people do not think about is how much those puppies have gone through in their short period of life. That one dog that you see in the window was born from a mother who has had a litter of puppies every time she came into heat since the age of one year old. That one puppy has been around hundreds of howling and barking dogs since the moment they could first hear. That one puppy may not have been fed for weeks before entering the pet store. Finally, that one puppy rode in a crate for six hours in the back of a tractor-trailer before it was delivered inside the pet store. Pet stores sell more than 500,000 puppies a year. All of those puppies come from puppy mills. There are more than 4,000 licensed commercial breeding kennels, or puppy mills, accounted for in the United States today. This number does not include the number of puppy mills that do not require to be licensed. The United States Department of Agriculture should make puppy mills illegal due to the inhumane treatment of animals while they are at the mills.…

    Finally, the main difference in raising a puppy and an older dog is the older dog can be left on her own without being destructive whereas the puppy if left to her own devices goes crazy and into destruction mode. I know that it is the puppy’s curiosity that makes her that way, and her playfulness but it’s much easier to leave the older dog home alone than it is the puppy. To leave the puppy, I have to get the crate ready and put her in it and then hope when I come home that she isn’t covered in her own excrement.…
