Macaque

have, Yukimaru only offers a brief explanation without any reflection, “Japanese macaque mothers sometimes persist in carrying infant corpses until they are covered with flies and completely decayed.” (Yukimaru). The questions researchers have currently been only about what happens and not about why. They give page after page accounts into the lives of these animals with no analysis. As seen in this research, Macaque mothers carry their fallen children till they decay. But, there is no clear…

I chose to study the famous Silver Spring Monkeys case, which is one of the biggest animal- rights cases to ever happen and the first to be brought to the U.S Supreme Court. It involves the highly acclaimed animals-rights group PETA and Dr. Edward Taub from the Institute of Behavioral Research. During May of 1981 in Silver Spring, Maryland, Alex Pacheco of the animals-rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) went undercover as someone looking for a job at the Institute…

motorists to stay in their vehicles. Forty-eight animals were subsequently shot and killed by sheriff's deputies-two wolves, six black bears, two grizzly bears, 18 tigers, three cougars, and 17 African lions. A baboon was killed by the big cats and a macaque monkey who was released and never found was believed to have been killed and eaten by the big cats. (Dangerous Exotic pets). If those fifty animals had been in their natural habitat then they would not have been in the position to get…

The Benefits of plants is that it is an overall a more efficient way to process. There are a significant higher number of nutrients, yields, and stress tolerance; in turn developing a higher immunity to disease, pests, and herbicides. In animals, it produces a higher immunity, larger amount and greater thickness, resulting in better and more quantity of meat, eggs, and milk. Over time, this had led to better animal health and more diagnostic methods. The main controversies involve safety,…

Within the last few months, there has been a huge discussion regarding the emergence of the Zika virus and how to treat the virus.. As Zika continues to be a major issue in the U.S. and many other countries, many healthcare providers are looking for vaccines and treatments that permanently eliminate the disease. However, there has not been much success for providers and the illness is continuing to creep its way into U.S. borders. Scientists and researchers have now offered to use Genetically…

flooding would be more prevalent during heavy rains. Trees are a major priority on earth. Without them we would not be able to breath,they purify the air so much and keep the air clean. "This form of the disease was once found mainly in primates called macaques, and scientists from the London…

testing most animals are left in terrible condition. A couple months after PETA was founded by Alex Pacheco,he took the police to a science lab, IBR also called the institute for behavioral research. When they got there and went inside almost twenty macaque monkeys were in horrible condition. Most of the monkeys had dirty open wounds with patches of missing hair. The monkey's tails were lacking hair that they pulled out because of stress (Noah Berlatsky). There is no reason why animals should…

protein is identical, with no differences whatsoever in chimpanzee, gorilla and the rhesus monkey. The mouse FOXP2 differs in just one amino acid from these three species. However, human FOXP2 genes differs from that of a gorilla, chimp and rhesus macaque in two further amino acids. So, in 75 million years since the divergence of mouse and chimpanzee lineages only one change has occurred in FOXP2…

Animal Experimentation Animal Experimentation has been around since the 1960s. Animal testing has been a routine part of getting shampoos, lotions, lipsticks and many other products on the shelves. There is a public misconception that rats and mice are the only animals being used in experimentation and that the experiments are protected through the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, or the Code of Practice, but we know that neither of these are true. Animal experimentation is a cruel…

The first Ebola epidemic was in West Africa in 2014. The countries hit hardest by the virus as well as the rest of the world was at a loss as to how to control the disease and minimize the number of people infected. Since the epidemic, scientists have been able to create a number of treatment drugs to help minimize the morbidity rate and help control the next outbreak. There currently is not an established treatment drug or vaccine for Ebola, but there are a number of different options in the…
