"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

What is Short Cuts? Why do some films capture the Zeitgeist, while others fall flat? Brad Bird seemed to have struck a nerve in the first Incredibles film, exploring Bob Paar's struggle with mediocrity – his inability to use his superpowers – and the frustrated masculinity that results. Is this what men are feeling in an age where their physical strength has been replaced by machines, and women are taking their place in the more abstract/symbolic realms? Caleb posits that Focus is a uniquely masculine trait and cites Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas to support his claim. Ben tells us about the cookie diet, and probes the question of how modern men can avoid being caricatures of masculinity while still embodying something distinct from females.
