[SOLVED] Animals and Canadian Society

a) Find (in books, on the internet, or other sources) paintings by artists Edwin Henry Landseer (1802-1873), Rosa Bonheur (1822-1899) and Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) that include animals. Identify four features of how animals were portrayed in the Romantic Movement and specify how these features are illustrated in the paintings. Refer to two paintings to illustrate each point. Identify the paintings clearly by name and artist, but it is not necessary to cite their location or other references. Please use at least two paintings by Landseer, two by Bonheur, and two by Morisot in your answer (suggested: 2 pages single spaced).    b) The career of the Canadian artist Helen Kalvak (1901-1984) occurred long after the period normally seen as Romantic, but does her work contain Romantic elements? Referring to the same four features of how animals were portrayed in the Romantic Movement, try to find one or more examples of Kalvak’s work that align with these features. If Kalvak’s work does not align with a specific feature, use one or more examples of her work to show that it does not. Please identify her work by the English name of the piece (and date if available).   Marking: a) Three marks will be given for each of four different features that you identify, one for the feature and two for illustrating it sensibly from two examples of art. You may identify more than four features if you wish, and we will mark the best four. b) Four marks for a sensible conclusion, illustrated by at least one work, on why Kalvak’s work does or does not fit with features of the Romantic Movement.   2. The animal protection movement   An elderly neighbour is asking for your advice. She wants to make a donation “to help all kinds of animals all across Canada”, and has found three likely-sounding organizations: Humane Canada, the Humane Society of Canada, and World Animal Protection Canada. Which one or ones make the best fit to her objectives?   For each organization, give a short paragraph to describe what the organization claims to do. Then answer: (a) How many staff are employed, and do they seem capable of carrying out what the organization claims to do? (b) Apart from staff, is there evidence of volunteers or partner organizations that enable the organization to achieve what it claims to do? (c) How is the organization governed (usually by a board of directors that oversees the work of Chief Executive), and do the directors bring the appropriate knowledge and experience to guide the organization in its activities? (d) Is the organization widely respected and does it cooperate with other related organizations? (e) What allows the organization to exert influence across the country? Does it, for example, have regional offices, or work with partner organizations across the country, or influence national standards and policies? If the organization does not make this information available, report that as well and take that into account in your recommendation. Please use a separate section for each organization with 5 paragraphs labelled a to e, and then your recommendation and reasons as a final paragraph. References are not needed, but you could indicate sources in your text by saying, for example, “According to the organization’s website…”   Marking: Five marks will be given per organization for an accurate and perceptive description of the organization. Five additional marks will be given for a solid recommendation on where the neighbour should donate to meet her stated objective, and the reasons for your recommendation. The resulting mark out of 20 will be converted to a mark out of 10.   3. Exotic companion animals   Coypu (Myocastor coypus) are semi-aquatic South American rodents which are abundant in the wild and have been farmed for their fur. They are occasionally kept as pets and can be taught to approach people and beg for food. The owner of a hospice for HIV/AIDS patients in the north of England was impressed by the beneficial effects of companion animals on hospitalized patients, and wanted to find a novel, low-care companion animal for his facility. Because the hospice is located on the seashore, he felt that a few coypu could live in the sea-side garden where they could swim in the sea, and since he could obtain farmed animals, they should be tame enough to provide some interest and companionship for the patients. Before proceeding, he contacts you to get your advice.   Using the criteria listed in Table 1 of the Schuppli and Fraser reading (available on the APBI 314 Canvas site), are there any reasons why he should not use coypu as companion animals for his patients? Comment on suitability under each of the three main headings: welfare of the animal, welfare of others, risks to the environment. Use the list of questions in the Table as a guide, but there is no need to answer each of the questions. Finally, which category (A to E in Table 2) would you place coypu in, and why?   Please give your sources of information for each point you raise and list these in a reference list. If you use a source like Wikipedia that is not subject to expert review, check that you have your facts straight by consulting other sources as well. After the text, list references alphabetically by author or other source. The suggested length is about 1.5 to 2 pages single-spaced (12 font and 2.5 cm margins), plus the reference list.   Marking: Three marks for a good interpretation under each of the three main headings, with at least one good source of information; three marks for a sensible and well-justified classification in category A to E. The resulting mark out of 12 will be converted to a mark out of 10.   4. Birds and buildings   The owners of a property-development company are concerned because they have h
