2. Rabbit's External Anatomy

Why? I'am study veterinary medicine?

Because since my chilwood animals has been very important for me specially dogs.

They are very especial beings that only give us love and loyalty in return for our care.

In spice of months of people think that they don't feel , their actions show us how they react when  their  owners come back home after work: their jump, move their tails, run and lick own hands showning happy they are how happy they are to see us again.

For centuries animals have fulfilled all our needs working for us, giving us recreation, peace and happiness.

We must take care of dogs and often animals because they are beings that feel hunger, thirst, ache and fall in like us and they are always with us even them we don’t treat them well.

I love animals specially rabbits. They are so clean, intelligent and docile. They can survive in any situation and enviroment.
The rabbits an found in almost all regins of the world from the desert to the polar ice.
The first news of rabbits domestication date back to roman times.
There are marked differences between them  either by coat, size, color, skind estructure and aspects of their cars.
Rabbit are stricty vegetarian but in their diet should by included both protein an fiber(concentrate and hen)

I love my rabbit. He appoached me askind to be caressed sticking his head between my legs or tapping my part of my body.He also gave me kisses in my feet. Infortunat he suddenly died but I remenber him every day and night.

My favorite piece of technology

I love music, I love walking and I love to do both at the same time, that is the reason I never leave my house without my MP3 player.  I try to keep as much different music as possible, although there is little space available, however I manage to be able to vary from day to day with what I hear. Try to play random songs and have few repetitions even though I walk a lot and travel a lot by bus.

What I have a hard time achieving safe is to keep save the headphones because I always find a way to break them or damage them. At least now I have lasted much more and that has been a relief.



Once I was about to give up this faithful device. I got it when I got off the subway and went over the edge of the walk up to the line. It was terrible. However, I got a security guard down to the line and pick it for me ... That was an interesting experience ...

Opinions:

• What is your opinion about Cloning?

I think the cloning is a very delicated topic. I feel that men still don't have the wisdom necessary to manipulate genetically other living beings.

• What is your opinion "Barras Bravas"?

I don't like barras bravas  and I disagree totally their actions. I think they spoil the soccer  activities and sports in general so they should be more controlled by police and people  in general .

• What is your opinion about killing stray dogs?

I think killing them is not the rewal solution to the dog overpopulation problem. Instead the goverment together with veterinary Medicine Schools should organize mass sterilazation programs in the country to control farther propagation.

• What is your opinion about tatoos?

I like them, but I think the design must be chosen carefully there are many people who are tatooed with images they later feel regretful for.

• I think they're really lovely animals. In fact I had  a rabbit and it brought a lot of joy to my family. They are very sensitive pets, and require special cares and frequent visits to the veterinary  health control.
