I think he had a goat he liked to have sex with. He had dogs, cats, some abolished slaves, and parakeets.  He had a number of farm animals when he lived in the country.\n\nMany Southern states made it clear that if Lincoln was elected, they would secede (leave the Union). The South was against Lincoln because he opposed slavery. South Carolina was the first to secede in December 1860. Six other Southern states followed: Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. After Lincoln's inauguration, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina also left the Union. These states became known as the Confederacy. The secession of the Southern states led to the first shots of the Civil War when the Confederates seized Fort Sumter in South Carolina in April 1861. \n\nLincoln faced the greatest national crisis of any U.S. President. He hated war and the death and destruction it would bring. However, he accepted war as the only means of saving the Union. He warned the South in his Inaugural Address:\n\n"In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The government will not assail you... You have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the government, while I shall have the most solemn one to preserve, protect and defend it." (Abraham Lincoln Web Site) \n\nAs the nation neared the third year of the bloody Civil War, President Lincoln issued the historic Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free." \n\nThis proclamation actually freed few people. It did not apply to slaves in the Border States of Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware; nor did it affect slaves in southern areas already under Union control. Naturally, the states that had seceded did not act on Lincoln's orders. But the proclamation showed Americans — and the world — that the war was being fought to end slavery. \n\nAlthough the Emancipation Proclamation did not immediately free a single slave, it changed the way black men were accepted during the war. Black men could join the Union Army and Navy. The liberated could become the liberators. By the end of the war, nearly 200,000 black soldiers and sailors fought for the Union and freedom. \n\nOn November 19, 1863, President Lincoln gave his famous Gettysburg Address in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The speech dedicated the battlefield to the soldiers who had died there. The battle site became a military cemetery. Lincoln stated in his moving speech: "...we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." (The National Archives.)\n\nBush needs to learn from this guy although he already has goat. He should not give part of America to the arabs.

Yes.\n\nEven animals have spirits and are also God's creation. God said that every living thing will be restored to its perfect state.

Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) said 'England has neither eternal friends nor eternal enemies. She has only eternal interests,'  Winston Churchill once said\n\n' Always remember, a cat looks down on man, a dog looks up to man, but a pig will look man right in the eye and see his equal"\n\nNot sure who said it first...

you should do your research paper on animals. They are always interesting.

What a cool project!  So to answer one of your questions, the crucial distinction among your phyla will be whether or not they're chordates -- which of course includes the vertebrates (but also some invertebrates such as sea squirts and certain worms).  \n\nSo your bipedal wolf (I'm assuming the missing d was a typo, but if "bipeal" is a word from your universe, please let me know) would be phylum chordata, class vertebrata, order mammalia, family canidae, genus canus, species lupus bipedalis (and I'm envisioning something like a cross between Lawrence Talbot and Speaker-to-Animals, without retractible claws).  But that's just off the top of my head.\n\nOne thing I've discussed with my ten-year-old son is the absence of hexapod vertebrates -- e.g. flying horses, winged dragons, etc.  If you were closer, I'd invite you over for coffee and an all-day discussion of where to classify them, and how they evolved.  Since all terrestrial vertebrates have essentially the same structure, it's clear they all shared a common ancestor which makes hexapodal vertebrates, sadly, impossible in our known universe -- so was there a hexapodal (imaginary) marine vertebrate who also scuttled across the floors of silent seas before crawling out of the surf and saying "Hey, the carcharodons can't get me here!  Kewl!"?  ...Which of course suggests all sorts of hexapodal marine vertebrates that shared the same skeletal architecture.  Ooooh, fun.\n\nAnd the final question... so zoology is the study of animals.  There's also cryptozoology, which I've described flippantly as "the study of imaginary animals."  But of course, it's more technically the study of animals that may or may not exist.  So what would we call your zoology, which is the study of animals you've intentionally invented?  Oh, of course, poeiazoology (-poeia, meaing to construct -- as in mythopoeia, the term Tolkien invented to describe the invention of mythologies.)\n\nAnd on that note, elen sila lumen omentielvo!

You have to start with Anton van Leeuwenhoek. This Dutchman was the first man to use a microscope to view water and saw the small animals living there. He is called the father of microbiology according to wikipedia.

Also called:Galen of Pergamum (Scientist)\n\nMany of Galen's writings in clear Attic Greek survive, making him the major influence on European medicine until the Renaissance. His primary contribution was to have carefully dissected and observed many mammals, including Barbary apes but apparently not including humans, and to have accurately (for the most part) described such structures as the nervous system, the heart, the kidneys, and so forth. His philosophical bent was that God has designed living creatures to function perfectly and that study of these creatures reveals God's purpose. Although Galen was more Stoic than Christian, this attitude helped maintain the popularity of his works throughout the Christian world of the Middle Ages. For the next 1400 years, Galen's ideas -- many correct, others incorrect -- were considered infallible.

It doesn't prove anything that cats are not mentioned in the Bible.  There is no mention of any kind of pets in the Bible....dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc.  As far as I can tell, people in Bible days didn't keep pets.  They had enough things to contend with in their lives without trying to keep an animal alive and well.
