updated(graded A+)
Take careful note of how we defined 'domestication' in our class
discussions, and how we defined the concept in the official ANS 101 way.
Which of the following situations best characterizes what we mean by the
term domestication? (Choose single best answer) - answer Julie has a
Fallow deer farm. She carefully selects and breeds together bucks and
does that display the most tractable behavior and for fast growth and
carcass quality. She breeds these selected bucks and does to produce next
year's crop of fawns.
The video we studied in class defined animal agriculture as the "conscious
production of food derived from animals". By our discussion in class, how
accurate is this definition? Choose the single best answer. - answer Video
author's definition falls short by not considering that animals produce
more than just food to meet human needs. For example, we don't eat dogs
typically, but by our definition dogs are agriculture too.
Domestic animals were described in class as "an expression of our
humanity". Why is this the case? Choose the single best answer. - answer
We have altered them genetically to be an outward expression of our
human interests and who we are as humans.
4. As per discussion in lab, what animal-derived product initially brought
England and Spain to the economic power they are today? Respond with a
single word answer, and be sure to spell the answer correctly. An incorrect
spelling will result in an incorrect response. For this question, do not
capitalize the response. - answer Sheep; wool
Compare the two persons described here. Which of them is more
anthropomorphic in the approach to his/her chickens? - answer Jim
imagines that he would not like living in a cage if he were a chicken. Jim
allows his Leghorn hens (named Henrietta and Gertrude) to roam the yard
ad-libitum (freely or as she wishes). He provides balanced ration that he
,buys from the local feed store, and provides table scraps on occasion to
make the diet mire interesting for the hens. He also east their eggs.
Take a moment and consider Ralph who lives in a suburb of a large metro
area. He only buys milk from local dairies. He cannot imagine that dairy
cattle living in confinement and being milked three times per day would be
happy. The cost of obtaining his milk from local sources and raised is much
higher than for milk from larger corporate sources, but he is concerned
that large-scale production is not humane. Ralph is not alone; there is a
trend of increasing demand for the same kind of milk has been increasing
in the US in recent years. Why might this US trend in anthropomorphic
societal views of livestock (like for example Ralph's view of dairy cattle
and dairy production) be occurring compared to developing countries of
the world (best answer)? - answer All of the choices offered here are a
correct reflection of Ralph's perspective, and of the concepts we discussed
in class.
Our fellow US citizens are more affluent and as such have more time,
health, and resources to consider our human/animal connection.
Groups interested in an anthropomorphic view of preferred animal care
practices have invested much resources into promoting these
perspectives to fellow US citizens
Over time, our fellow US citizens have much less direct connection to and
understanding of the ways in which food is produced- especially animal
derived foods
During US colonial times, a wall was built in New York to prevent livestock
(mostly pigs, actually) from entering the boroughs (housing areas). What
is the name of the street where this wall was built?
Respond with a one-word answer (no spaces in your response), and since
it is a proper name, be sure to capitalize your response and spell it
correctly. Note that a misspelled response will not be counted as correct
because these questions are automatically graded. - answer Wall Street
Why is our relationship with dairy cattle considered a symbiotic
relationship? - answer We have genetically altered the cow to produce a
lot of milk, and in doing so we have (perhaps inadvertently) selected
against their ability to survive fully on their own. Therefor, we provide for
their basic needs and their in turn provide to meet ours.
, Animal welfare is really the same concept as anthropomorphism as we
discussed in class. - answer False
From lab, we stated that our relationship with animals forms "the warp
and woof of human civilization." Why is this statement valid? - answer
The strands of yarn which are weaved together are analogous to the close-
knit dependency we have on animal usage, enabling time and health for
human civilization to be developed.
Agriculture as we see it in this class includes the production if all
biologically-derived products to meet human need. Therefor, training
search and rescue dogs is an agricultural pursuit. - answer True
Tame animals can be from a domesticated species, but the fact that they
are tame does not define the species as domesticated. - answer True
The Neolithic Revolution was pivotal in our evolving relationship with
animals because humans employed domestication. - answer True
What animal derived product was responsible for the economic
development of England and Spain? - answer Wool
Dr. Willham said "The symbiotic bond between animal and man has
contributed to the very warp and woof of civilization." To what is he
referencing when he chose the words warp and woof? - answer The
interlocking strands of yarn in a weaved fabric and The interlocked
relationship that humans have with domestic animals which maintains the
integrity of human civilization.
We provide a great deal of care to the animals at the Blank Park Zoo in
Des Moines, Iowa. Their health and well being is of paramount concern.
This defines true nature of out symbiotic relationship with domesticated
animals. T or F - answer False
According to our video presentation today, who first promoted agriculture
coursework in US colleges? - answer Benjamin Franklin
