Chapter One introduces us to Burton who is a fur trapper and trader. This means that he will catch an animal in a trap and sell its fur to a fur company to make cotes, scarves, gloves, hats, etc. And also in this chapter he asks Mr, Macdonald if he is allowed to set up traps on his land. Another thing I think we should know about Burton is that he is a man who stinks and does not care about how he looks or smells. And he is also rather rude and he has a big yellow dog named Lobo who is a mean dog. And this should wrap up what happened in chapter one.

The Prologue begins by telling the readers about an area that is now called Winnipeg. The Indians knew Winnipeg the best. "The Cree Indians named it the Murkey Water, which in their language was Winnipeg." The white men came over and decided to change the name to " Red River." Winnipeg was like a "trading post" for the Hustons Bay Company. Some people traded things, like fur. Winnipeg today has lots of art, festivals, and access to outdoor activities!

The Prologue presents us with The McDonald Family. In 1850 William McDonald and Esther McDonald stood on a knoll and named it Hawks Hill because of the Hawk that greeted them. The McDonald Family has four children who are named John who was born in 1854, Beth who was born in 1858, Coral who was born in 1861, and Benjamin who was born in 1864.

Chapter #1 Summary

#1 starts out with the McDonald's meeting with Burton. Burton is a big man who is quite intimidating to little Benjamin. William McDonald notices that Burton doesn't have good manners, for example, Burton picks up Benjamin and starts tossing him around, which makes Benjamin very scared of Burton. Burton wanted to ask McDonald if he could let his traps cross over their land, which McDonald says yes to. When Burton leaves William gets upset about Benjamin being too little and "abnormal" for his age. Esther doesn't like that and she stands up for Benjamin. When they are finished "arguing" Benjamin was really in the corner listening...

Trapping means placing traps to catch animals. You could catch deer, fox, badger, etc. The trap would have food placed on the middle disk and the animal would usually grab it with its hand/paw and get its leg caught. You could use the animal for some "useful resources" like meat, fur, or leather. Traps can be time-savers and they also work even if the person who placed the trap is not present. Native Americans were the first trappers but many other people do it. Trapping has been around for a long time!

Chapter 2 Vocab!

1. Steadily = in a gradual, regular way over a period of time

2. Remainder = a part of something that is left over when other parts have been completed, used, or dealt with.

George Burton has now killed a badger and decides to do some visiting at the McDonalds. George Burton tells everyone about his "amazing" catch and they all congratulate him, except Ben. Now it was time to eat but Ben decided to go outside with the dead badger. Ben thinks that the dead badger was the one he met before so he checks its ear to see if it has a notch, which it doesn't., and he realizes it wasn't his badger friend. When dinner was over George and William came outside to skin the badger. When William starts skinning the badger Ben launches forward and slaps the knife out of his William's hand. At this moment William is furious and without thinking he strikes Ben on the head. This makes Ben run away into the barn and William quickly finishes skinning the animal and tells John to go get Ben from the barn. Ben wouldn't budge so William goes to the barn himself and tries to talk to Ben but it doesn't work so Esther goes to get Ben from the barn...

Three days after Mama Badger caught the prairie dogs she stayed in her den for three days, feeding and cleaning her pups, and also eating her leftover prey. Eventually, Mama Badger decides to go looking for some food, so she leaves her den and no more than one hundred feet Mama smells the same smell that she smelt the other day. Mama goes to look for it but with caution, as she gets closer her caution lessens and she reaches for the smell and finds that it's fish! She reached for another one then the jaws of the trap caught her two outermost toes and snapped one of them. On the second morning of Mama being trapped, Mama could hear her pups cry because of their hunger. On the third morning of Mama being trapped, she could her pups crying but this time weaker than before. On the fourth morning, Mama could hear only one of her pups crying and this gave her a big burst of energy, she tried to race for the hole but the trap flipped her over and broke her second toe. Mama is determined to escape so she gnaws on her flesh and escapes. When she reaches her den Mama finds that the first pup is dead, the second pup is alive, and like the first the second is dead also. Mama tries to save them but it's no use, and she buries them in her den. Mama goes to find a new den and once she finds it she goes to sleep. Even with her damaged paw Mama Badger is still strong.

Website: LOCAL HISTORIES
Winnipeg stands at the confluence of two rivers. Its name comes from native words meaning murky waters. The French built a fur trading post on the site in 1738 called Fort Rouge. However, the fort was later abandoned.

Then in 1810, the North West Company built a new fort called Fort Gibraltar. Slowly the settlement grew and in 1873 Winnipeg was incorporated as a city. However, it was then only a small place with a population of less than 4,000. Nevertheless, the University of Manitoba was founded in 1877.

Prologue Vocabulary:
1. Vigorous - Strong, healthy, and full of energy.

2. Craggy - (of a cliff or rock face) Rough and uneven.

Although most animals who are slaughtered for their fur are raised on notoriously cruel fur farms, millions of raccoons, coyotes, wolves, bobcats, opossums, nutria, beavers, otters, and other fur-bearing animals are killed every year for the clothing industry by trappers.

There are various types of traps, including snares, underwater traps, and Conibear traps, but the steel-jaw trap is the most widely used. The American Veterinary Medical Association calls these traps "inhumane." This simple but barbaric device has been banned by the European Union and a growing number of U.S. states, including Colorado, California, Florida, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Washington state.

Badger, a common name for any of several stout carnivores, most of them members of the weasel family ( Mustelidae), that are found in various parts of the world and are known for their burrowing ability. The species differ in size, habitat, and coloration, but all are nocturnal and possess anal scent glands, powerful jaws, and large, heavy claws on their forefeet, which are used to dig for food and construct underground dens. The American badger ( Taxidea taxus) feeds mostly on rodents, but Old World species are omnivorous. Badgers are classified into six genera.

Summary

The chapter is about George Burton visiting the

Macdonald and have a nice chat. George's dog, Lobo

saw Ben and charged at him but it just sat and

looked at Ben. Burton was amazed and scolded Lobo

about it. When he let the dog go he made fun of Ben's height and weight. After Burton left, William ( Ben's Father) didn't say anything about the situation, and his wife was upset with him. Ben, on the other hand, ran outside and followed a prairie chicken.

Summary:

After George Burton arrived at his place just in time for dinner, he went to the Macdonald house to boast about it. He randomly knocked on their door and waited to be invited. The Macdonalds had no choice but to invite him.

Even though, he got the animal by a trap. He showed

the badger and the family congratulated and commented on the badger. Except for Ben, before William Macdonald skins the badger, Ben strikes Dad's knife. William Macdonald was through and he slapped Ben's cheek.

Ben sobbed and ran for the barn. Dad felt guilty and said sorry, but it was too late.

Summary:

Benjamin Macdonald didn't mean to run away like

For most of the year, the badger's home is a shallow burrow about one foot in diameter. During the breeding season, a deeper burrow is built, usually from five to thirty feet in length, leading to an enlarged area about two to three feet below the ground's surface.

Badgers usually spend their lives within an area of one or two square miles. If food is scarce, they may cover a much wider territory.

Centuries before the first European fort was established in present day Winnipeg, in 1738, the city's current location at the intersection of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, was already an important trading post for its surrounding First Nations farming tribes.The Cree, the Ojibway, the Anishinaabe, the Sioux and the Assiniboine canoed these rivers to transport corn and other crops as far south as the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. The name of the western Canadian province of Manitoba's capital and biggest city, Winnipeg, is a loose translation of the Cree word for 'muddy waters.'

Chapter #1 Summary:
The reason the Europeans came to this region in the first place was because of the fur trade. The fur trade became big when fur trading companies started selling for high prices. One important trading company was the Hudson Bay Company.

The MacDonalds have a neighbor named George Berton. Now, Berton is a very rotund, big man, who doesn't really have manners and stinks really bad. For work, George sets traps up to catch animals, so he can sell their fur for money. He asks the MacDonalds if he can set up some traps around their home, and William MacDonald reluctantly says, yes.

The Hudson's Bay Company

Present-day Canadians know Hudson's Bay as a place to purchase high-end clothes and housewares, but for the better part of two centuries, the Hudson's Bay Company was one of the most powerful entities in the new world. In 1660 two French traders, Médard Chouart des Groseilliers and Pierre-Esprit Radisson, returned from an expedition around Lake Superior bearing tales of a fur-rich land to the northwest, beyond an inland salt sea - Hudson Bay. The pair tried to interest France in backing a new venture west of the bay, to no avail. Instead, they went to England, and managed to convince Prince Rupert, cousin to the British king, of the tremendous opportunity that awaited on the new frontier. In 1668, Groseilliers landed at the mouth of the Rupert River and established the first trading post on Hudson Bay, and in 1970, King Charles II granted the "Governor and Company of Adventurers" exclusive trading rights in the region. The company's rise was meteoric and brought new structure to the fur trade, including a currency, Made Beaver, by which all pelts and other manufactured goods could be valued. But it also became the target of military aggression by the French, including a raid led by its own founders, Groseilliers and Radisson.

Muscular, short-necked, and flat-bodied, it has a broad, flattened head and short legs and tail. The colour of the coat is grayish and grizzled, dark at the face and feet with a white stripe extending from the nose to the back. It is 23 cm (9 inches) tall and 42-76 cm long, excluding the 10-16-cm tail, and it weighs 4-12 kg (9-26 pounds).

The City of Winnipeg is located at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, almost at the geographic centre of North America. With an ethnically diverse population, Winnipeg is characterized by slow but steady growth. It is the eighth largest city in Canada and dominates the Manitoba economy.

2 miles north of Hawk's Hill is a pile of rocks that looks like a giant dropped them and one of them moved. The one that moved was actually a 4-year-old female badger that weighed 23 pounds, had grayish fur with a white streak on her muzzle, an ear that was notched by a large male lynx, and short dark brown legs that were almost black with big paws and long curved claws. The badger looked like a little bear, but her standing stance was weasel-like, mainly because they are a part of the weasel family. She has had two litters before this one, the first one went well, but her mate went out for food and never came back, the second one was bad because a flood came and drowned them, but she saved two that later died. She dug a 15-foot-deep entrance to the burrow and made an escape route in case of emergencies 50ft away. She made grass balls and shredded them until 2 or 3 inches of it was there, and she made moss balls to line them.

Our Wildlife Enquiries team probably receives more queries about sparrowhawks than any other species of bird of prey. They can be confused with several other birds of prey. Find out what to look for.

Sparrowhawk (less than a year old) - Young sparrowhawks have brown wings and backs, with chestnut-brown edges to the feathers. Their breast feathers have brown streaks or chevrons. Adult female sparrowhawks are also brownish, but with horizontal bars on the breast feathers and a greyer back and wings.

Sparrowhawk (adult male) - Adult male sparrowhawks have orange breasts and slate-grey or bluish backs and wings. As they get older, their eyes turn from yellow to orange.

Benjamin Macdonald loved animals so much that he perfectly mimics them. He is following a mouse in the barn until his dad finds him and tells him Mr. George Burton is coming over to their house.

Mr. Burton, we find out, used to work for The Hudson Bay Company - a fur trading market - until he was fired for cheating off customers. He is the MacDonald's family's new neighbor and he decides to come over to meet them. He is a big man and a trapper of animals to get their pelts. He comes on a big horse with his mean old dog that looks like it could kill you. Ben befriends the dog somehow and then gets scared off by Burton when he picks Ben up. Mr. Burton said he came to the MacDonald family to ask for permission to put some traps on their land.

Badger cubs should only be taken into captivity as a last resort. Their average stay in a wildlife center is six months, which is a long time in a young badger's life. Cubs taken into captivity must be handled as little as possible, and it's important to note the exact location where they were found in case they can be returned.

By Allan W. Eckert Summary The prologue begins with what the Indians used to call the land and water, then the white men coming and renaming it. The setting is in Winnipeg, 1870. Twenty years before, William and Esther Macdonald claimed land twenty miles north of Winnipeg, believing it was the perfect spot. Winnipeg grew quickly, being a big trading area. Trading companies competed and fought. After the war ended, they decided to go under the name Hudson’s Bay Company. The Macdonalds had four kids. “First John, in 1854, followed by Beth in 1858, which was the same year that the Minnesota Territory, sixty miles south of Winnipeg, was admitted into the Union of the United States. Coral was born only nine years ago and in that same year of 1861 the Dakota Territory was established, also by the United States government. Finally, three years later, Benjamin had been born.” (pg. xiv)

Trapping is somewhat of a dying art, there may not be as many people into it as there has been in the past. Most of the lack of participation can likely be attributed to busy schedules, lack of know-how and dropping fur prices. I have always really enjoyed trapping and found a lot of satisfaction in trying toB i U "outfox" predators and other critters.

Most successful trappers will tell you they don't hold a book of secrets on how to catch critters on a consistent basis. What you will find with almost every good trapper; however, is a strong work ethic, very competitive spirit, knowledge to adapt to diverse situations and great attention to detail.

When I think of gossip, sometimes one of those characters from a movie or book comes to mind. Like the one who runs around the small town spreading "news" about something inaccurate or insignificant. Since I never do that, I never think of myself as gossip.

Maybe, but maybe not.

Jim Spencer of Calico Rock shows a season's haul of raccoon, mink, and otter furs. He realized a profit of hundreds of dollars from the sale of his pelts but spent hundreds of hours and incurred many expenses while trapping all these animals.

Fall is here, and furbearer trapping season has begun in Arkansas. The period for trapping beavers, muskrats, and nutrias started at sunrise on Nov. 11

and runs through sunset on March 31. Coyote trapping season started at sunrise on Aug. 1 and continues through sunset March 31. The trapping season for all remaining furbearers in the state - including mink, raccoons, skunks, opossums, and other species - began at sunrise Nov. 11 and ends at sunset Feb. 28. There is no daily limit or possession limit on any furbearers trapped during these seasons.

July 7, 2021, How on earth do two highly energetic, detail-driven people find themselves staring down the barrel of yet another school holiday with nothing planned and another COVID lockdown to boot?

If you're scrambling for outdoor activities for kids at home - you're not alone.

I'm a planner by nature, I plan everything and get annoyed with those who insist on a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants approach to life; constantly making last-minute arrangements and the inevitable subsequent cancellation - you know who you are! So being totally unprepared for a three-week stint with three kids has thrown me.

I considered a last-minute jaunt to the coast or a family camping trip, but without the required forethought and planning, even being your own boss doesn't allow this much flexibility. Yet I yearn for an escape, as put so well by one of my favorite modern adventurers.

With a wild population that once numbered just 12 birds, the Attwater's prairie chicken (Tympanuchus cupido attwateri), a Texas endemic species that is a building block of the Gulf Coast prairie ecosystem, is one of the country's most endangered birds. The Attwater's prairie chicken was listed as an Endangered Species in 1967, in the "Class of 1967", which was the first list of animals that the US made to protect with legislation. The Attwater Prairie Chicken National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1968, the only National Wildlife Refuge that was created specifically to help save a species. The Attwater's prairie-chicken is a critically endangered subspecies of prairie grouse that was once very common on eastern Texas's coastal prairies, including the Houston metropolitan area. This bird is perhaps best known for its "booming" display, a characteristic male behavior that attracts hens during the breeding season, which takes place from late winter through early spring. Unfortunately, the combination of vanishing habitat, predation, and introduced species has taken its toll on the remaining wild population, which now numbers less than 100 birds at two Texas sites: the Attwater's Prairie Chicken National Wildlife Refuge and private ranchlands in Refugio County Texas.

Ben awoke and the badger was there he yelled at her and she left and he fell asleep again and woke up yelling, "Get out of here!" but she was not there. He got up out of the den and drank from a puddle. While he was drinking he saw George Burton in the distance and hid behind the rocks and felt his hatred for the man. When Burton had left Ben ran through the field which cleaned him from the caked mud all over his body. He got back to the den and slept for four hours and the badger came back with a prairie chicken that was half eaten and Ben took it and began to eat it. He soon took it outside ate it and fed the rest of it to the badger. Earlier Ben had seen a jagged rock and used it to cut some of the prairie chicken and he used it for a shovel which he made the den bigger for himself. Dirt from his excavation got in the den and he used his pants as a bag for the dirt. While he was doing that He saw another rider looking for him and Ben hid again and knawing loneliness tried to steal his heart he cried and cried and cried for his mom and his siblings and even for his dad. While he cried he fell fast asleep.

Very often, when I meet someone and the subject turns to my primary occupation, I am asked what "First-Person Historical Interpretation" means. There are many variations in specifics, but, in general, it is the practice of taking a particular historic figure and learning absolutely everything one can about that individual, and then creating a live interpretation of that individual. These interpretations are complete with appropriate wardrobe, grooming, vernacular, and, of course, a thorough knowledge of the details of that person's life, told from their own perspective.

Golden Shepherds are typically large dogs, inheriting size from both parent breeds. They usually stand between 20 to 26 inches tall and can weigh anywhere from 60 to 85 pounds. These dogs often have a thick, medium-length double coat that can be golden, black, or a mix of both. Their ears may be floppy like a Golden Retriever's or erect like a German Shepherd's, and their tails are usually long and fluffy.

It rained again, and Ben put his trousers back on and soon the badger came in and snuggled with him and woke him up, he soon fell asleep once again, and the badger left to get food. She came back an hour after dawn, and Ben was still asleep, she woke him up and dropped him a Prairie Chicken egg, and he used his sharp rock to crack it, and he said to her "Didn't even chew, badger." (P147) The rain refilled the dip in the rock, and Ben went out to drink after he drank he went behind the rock pile and went to the bathroom. He soon saw three men, riding in different directions, and finished going to the bathroom wiped, and went back into his hole. She came back and he fell asleep. One day He and the badger went out to the puddle that they drink from and they encountered Lobo, George Burton's dog, he snarled at the badger and she snarled at him and they fought while Ben was in the reeds watching, horrified. Soon the badger was on her back and Lobo had her jugular and he was trying to rip it from her, and she was scratching at his belly trying to rip away and spill his intestens. Soon Ben joined in and they were fighting, Ben grabbed the tail and bit the back leg of the monster and he howled in pain a broke his grip on the badger's jugular. Then, in an instant, the badger got Lobo's jugular and ripped it from him and he lay motionless on the ground. Ben didn't want Burton to find him, so he put Lobo's body in the large puddle and covered him with reeds and they went home to the den. It thundered that night and Ben didn't eat and he didn't eat again and he soon became ill, to where he could die.

The Macdonald family was at Ben's memorial, ten days after his disappearance, didn't mean they had given up. "Ester became pale, gaunt, tight-lipped from the emotional strain..." (P163) and Mr. Macdonald looked even worse from his searching for 20 hours. John looked bad too and he thought his brother to be dead but still he saddled up Dilly and rode off, searching. When John searched he only looked at the ground trying to find bones or cloth and the ladies searched too, but only by the house, and brought flour to say that that has already been marked. On the eighth week of searching, John went southwest of the farm and started looking, he thought it was a rock, and he found Ben's moldy shoe. To mark where he found the shoe he put his gun in the ground and also put his jacket over the gun, so you could see it from a distance. He got back on Dilly and they walked and he saw the rock outcropping and thought that was the sort of place Ben would go, so he went to it and saw a moving thing through the grass He got off Dilly and followed it to see if it was Ben. And sure enough, it was and Ben snarled at him and he told him that it was his brother and that he was going to take him home, and so John picked him up and Ben tried to get away but couldn't and soon John heard another snarling and I was the female badger coming to rescue her child and she ran, and John ran to Dilly and mounted and galloped away, but the badger followed him. John soon got home and called out to Mr. Macdonald that Ben was home and that he was safe, Mr. Macdonald thanked the Lord and cried and cried which made John cry and Mr. Macdonald said, "Come on, son, let's take Ben home to his mother."

It's been a long couple of weeks and you are beyond happy for your child to return home after being at overnight camp. But don't be too surprised if your child isn't that excited to come home! Try not to take it too personally. Camp has become your child's home away from home-where they have been immersed in their own camp world, living among counselors and close friends and participating in the rituals and traditions of their camp community. Be happy that your child had a wonderful summer away, full of learning new activities, building strong friendships and gaining important life skills. Here are a few tips you can use to help your child transition back to home after an awesome summer at overnight camp.

https://mamaduck.com/toddler-running-away-when-called/

I've gotten so many questions and comments lately about a particular area of disobedience with small children, I wanted to take a minute and address it! When it comes to a toddler running away when called in a parking lot or darting off when he's supposed to stay close, there's really no room for compromise.

Burton came up to the MacDonald's house on Hawk's Hill and saw the badger and shot at her and missed and then shot at her again and got her. The MacDonalds soon came running outside and Ben, seeing the badger went over to her and laid her head in his hands. Mr. Macdonald said, "You idiot!" and rounded at Burton and told him to give him his gun Burton thought something was wrong with Mr. Macdonald, and didn't give Mr. Macdonald his gun and Mr. Macdonald grabbed the gun barrel and tried to snatch the gun out of Burton's hands and break it. Soon they heard another gunshot and Mr. Macdonald felt a bullet graze his side he lurched forward and Burton fell Mr. Macdonald got the gun and jammed it into the plow and it broke in half and as he was still holding the barrel when Burton came lurching to him and struck him across the head. Mr. Macdonald fell and hit the back wheel and John came and attacked Burton Burton hit John in the eye and John's face planted into the ground. Mrs. Macdonald grabbed Mr. Macdonald's gun and shot at the ground right in front of him. He said, "Don't Shoot!" and Mr. Macdonald went over and grabbed the gun from his wife backed Burton up, and told him to leave. If he found Burton in three days and he wasn't gone he would shoot him and kill him, so Burton left and Mrs. Macdonald tended to Mr. Macdonald. She also tended to John and Ben went to go and bury the badger in the den they stayed in. Still, he couldn't lift her much longer before he set her down and was going to start to dig the grave, when he cried and cried and could hear a heartbeat and called to his dad. Mr. Macdonald came with John and they carried her to the house instead of Mrs. Macdonald tending to her Mr. Macdonald did and he laid her upstairs when he was done and Ben asked, "Dad, will she live?" and Mr. Macdonald said, "I really doubt it, Ben," then Ben said, "If she dies would you help me but her, Dad?" and Mr. Macdonald said, "Of course, Ben." Soon tears swam in Ben's eyes and he embraced his dad and Mr. Macdonald hugged him back.

Need some ways to remind your students that bullying is not OK under any circumstances? Whether you're prepping for National Bullying Prevention Month (it's held in October each year), or you've noticed some disturbing behavior by a few individuals in the classroom, there is a whole lot of evidence out there that teachers can and do have a real impact when it comes to stopping bullies.

https://www.teachstarter.com/us/blog/anti-bullying-activities-school-classrooms/

Trapping is somewhat of a dying art, there may not be as many people into it as there has been in the past. Most of the lack of participation can likely be attributed to busy schedules, lack of know-how and dropping fur prices. I have always really enjoyed trapping and found a lot of satisfaction in trying toB i U "outfox" predators and other critters.

Most successful trappers will tell you they don't hold a book of secrets on how to catch critters on a consistent basis. What you will find with almost every good trapper; however, is a strong work ethic, very competitive spirit, knowledge to adapt to diverse situations and great attention to detail.

Burrow- (of an animal) makes a hole or tunnel, typically for use as a dwelling. "Moles burrowing away underground."

Exceptional- unusually good; outstanding. "A pepper offering exceptional flavor and juiciness."

Morcel = a small piece or amount of food; a mouthful. "Julie pushed a last morsel of toast into her mouth."

Retrieved = get or bring (something) back; regain possession of. "I was sent to retrieve the balls from his garden."

What is gossip and how is it a threat to the church today?

When I think of gossip, sometimes one of those characters from a movie or book comes to mind. Like the one who runs around the small town spreading "news" about something inaccurate or insignificant. Since I never do that, I never think of myself as gossip.

Maybe, but maybe not.

By Allan W. Eckert Summary The Incident at Hawk's Hill Prologue Starts When a husband and wife move to Winnipeg, Canada, close to the Red River in 1850 and have kids in 1870. The husband's name is William MacDonald and his wife is Ester MacDonald.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Summary The Prologue talks about the setting the timeline and where the book takes place. It starts in the year 1870 and the coming of white men has unrooted the Indians. The Crsse called the stream Winnipeg and it was the largest city for over 500 miles in any direction. 45 miles to the north of this young city was the Red River emptied into a gigantic Lake Winnipeg. Less than 20 miles to the north of Winnipeg this year wild prairies were unchanged. Here there is a hill and on that hill stood a cluster of buildings a lot of homes, large barns, a lot of sheds, and outbuildings. It was still crude and rough. The very face of this land is changing each year. This is the farm of William Macdonald.

badger, common name for any of several stout carnivores, most of them members of the weasel family ( Mustelidae), that are found in various parts of the world and are known for their burrowing ability. The species differ in size, habitat, and coloration, but all are nocturnal and possess anal scent glands, powerful jaws, and large, heavy claws on their forefeet, which are used to dig for food and construct underground dens. The American badger ( Taxidea taxus) feeds mostly on rodents, but Old World species are omnivorous. Badgers are classified into six genera. Some, especially the American badger, are hunted for their pelts.

1. Malevolence = Having or showing a wish to do evil to others.

2. Diminutive = Extremely or unusually small.

3. Aura = the distinctive atmosphere or quality that seems to surround and be generated by a person, thing, or place.

4. Affinity = a spontaneous or natural liking or sympathy for someone or something.

There are more wild furbearers in the United States today than there was 100 years ago.There are no furbearing animals in the United States or Canada which are endangered or threatened by fur harvesting today.Millions of North Americans depend on fur harvesting for their livelihood. These people have a vested interest in protecting the natural environment.Nothing is wasted in the production of a wild fur garment. Furbearers provide food, organic fertilizer, medicines, and other biodegradable products.Conversely, synthetic materials exhaust our limited supply of oil and other non-renewable resources.Sound wildlife management programs ensure the necessary supply of natural wild fur for today's needs and those of tomorrow

I don't often wander into the tinned-fish section of my grocery store. Growing up, our family kept a stock of canned tuna around only for our three cats, who savored the banquet of meat like dessert after a sad meal of chalky dry food.* For me (and many other Americans), the idea that humans can find dinner behind an aluminum flap runs counter to the primary axiom of seafood-that it's best served fresh. So, I can't say I was excited to return home from the market last Monday with a stack of sardine tins, each marinating in a unique flavor like coconut curry, spicy marinara, or olive oil and black pepper. The lot of these teensy, decapitated fish were going to be my breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the next 24 hours, and according to sardine fanatics across the world, my life would never be the same.

Tanning is the process of turning animal skin (often called "hide") into leather. Tanning makes the skin tougher and often changes its color. Tanning helps make the animal skin become more flexible and less vulnerable to bacteria damage.

Before tanning an animal skin, the animal must be killed and skinned before the body heat of the animal leaves the animal's body. Next, tissue on the inside of the skin and hairs on the outside are removed. Salt in the skin is removed and the skins are soaked in water ffor six hours to two days.

Furs have been used principally to fashion outer garments; this is also true for the modern fur industry. A variety of animals are bred or trapped for their pelts, including those that bear the luxury furs (sable, chinchilla, ermine, and mink) and others whose fur is of lesser value (such as rabbit and squirrel). Other commercially important furs include the various species of fox and lamb; beaver, marten, raccoon, skunk, otter, and seal; as well as leopard, lynx, ocelot, and wolf.

vocab

1. Mollify = appease the anger or anxiety of (someone).

badger, common name for any of several stout carnivores, most of them members of the weasel family ( Mustelidae), that are found in various parts of the world and are known for their burrowing ability. The species differ in size, habitat, and coloration, but all are nocturnal and possess anal scent glands, powerful jaws, and large, heavy claws on their forefeet, which are used to dig for food and construct underground dens. The American badger ( Taxidea taxus) feeds mostly on rodents, but Old World species are omnivorous. Badgers are classified into six genera. Some, especially the American badger, are hunted for their pelts.

1. Malevolence = Having or showing a wish to do evil to others.

2. Diminutive = Extremely or unusually small.

3. Aura = the distinctive atmosphere or quality that seems to surround and be generated by a person, thing, or place.

I don't often wander into the tinned-fish section of my grocery store. Growing up, our family kept a stock of canned tuna around only for our three cats, who savored the banquet of meat like dessert after a sad meal of chalky dry food.* For me (and many other Americans), the idea that humans can find dinner behind an aluminum flap runs counter to the primary axiom of seafood-that it's best served fresh. So, I can't say I was excited to return home from the market last Monday with a stack of sardine tins, each marinating in a unique flavor like coconut curry, spicy marinara, or olive oil and black pepper. The lot of these teensy, decapitated fish were going to be my breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the next 24 hours, and according to sardine fanatics across the world, my life would never be the same.

Tanning is the process of turning animal skin (often called "hide") into leather. Tanning makes the skin tougher and often changes its color. Tanning helps make the animal skin become more flexible and less vulnerable to bacteria damage.

Before tanning an animal skin, the animal must be killed and skinned before the body heat of the animal leaves the animal's body. Next, tissue on the inside of the skin and hairs on the outside are removed. Salt in the skin is removed and the skins are soaked in water ffor six hours to two days.

Furs have been used principally to fashion outer garments; this is also true for the modern fur industry. A variety of animals are bred or trapped for their pelts, including those that bear the luxury furs (sable, chinchilla, ermine, and mink) and others whose fur is of lesser value (such as rabbit and squirrel). Other commercially important furs include the various species of fox and lamb; beaver, marten, raccoon, skunk, otter, and seal; as well as leopard, lynx, ocelot, and wolf.
