As he backed himself into the corner of the cage, fear penetrated the little guinea pig’s eyes while he watched the man carrying a scary needle closer to him. Now imagine that little guinea pig being your pet. Being a pet owner, you can tell when your pet is sad, happy, or not acting like themselves. Thinking about that, I picture my guinea pig in a scary room with strangers who continuously do tests on him and that is truly terrifying. There are many questions about animal testing.…
Malachi Fox Kristy Wooten English 112 – 802 October 15, 2016 Animal Testing: An Annotated Bibliography While browsing Youtube one day, I came across a video from “Veritasium” about research being done in Switzerland to help paralyzed rats walk again. They would intentionally cut the rat’s spine to prevent brain signals from reaching the legs and then try to get them to walk again. The researchers discovered that the nerves in the rat’s spine could heal themselves if the rat was motivated to walk again. Tasty pastries from nearby shops were a common means of motivation.…

Do Americans really know what lurks in the meat they consume? For, many decades corporations have turned raising animals for human consumption into a multibillion dollar business. Big business has no concern for the animals or the humans they feed, their whole motive is to make the product cheaper and sell it at the highest price they can. The result is an unsafe product, treacherous work place, and horrid conditions for the animals. How can this happen; how can Americans be so oblivious to know that the meat they eat can one day kill them?…
Do you enjoy being free? Do you appreciate that you, a human being in the U.S., are not forced to do things by others? That you, for the most part, are able to chose how you live your life and what happens in it. You aren’t locked up, unless you commit a crime that is, and you aren't’ a slave or just another object or resource to someone. Its safe to assume that you’re happy about that right?…
Animal Testing Many companies around the United States still use animals to test their products. These companies are harming animals and breaking laws. Some countries in Europe have banned animal testing (Alternatives to). Organizations such as PETA have formed to stop animal testing. The cosmetic industry should stop using animal testing because of the number of animals that are killed each year, the neglect and abuse that the animals go through and the alternative research methods that can be used.…
Rough Draft Claudia Rogers People enjoy good entertainment, especially when it comes to animals being involved. Not only can they be used for satisfying the public, but they can also be useful to human resources, such as to the blind, deaf, or disabled. If animals can be used properly in positive ways then why are people abusing and neglecting them? Animals deserve to have the same rights as humans. One way animals are taken advantage of is by experimentation.…
considering they were “God’s creation” as some will say (Monamy 10). On the contrary, British Lord Chancellor Francis Bacon thought that animal testing is an excellent way to learn more about our bodies and how it works (Monamy 10). However, this controversy made animal testing rise. An additional amount of scientists started using different types of animals such as monkeys, rats, birds, dogs, cats, and the list goes on and on. With animal testing in use, scientist found out how the digestive, respiratory, nervous, muscular, etc.…
The assignment I am most proud of is the research paper I wrote in my freshman year. I chose to write this research paper with the goal of determining the influence that animal testing has on humans. The reason I chose this topic was that of my interest in the rights of animals and humans. I strive for the conservation and safety of animals and humans. I felt that writing an essay about the effect of animal testing on humans could determine ways in which animal testing could be stopped for the benefit of animal and human life.…
How can you tell when something is morally wrong or morally correct? The testing of animals has a long history from mainly being used for medicine and cosmetics. Many people have gave the opinion that without the testing of animals and the advancements they have made from their testing would have never been discovered. Animals are often placed into a lower category because humans don’t want to notice similarities between them and their test subjects. Although animals did help with the creation of many cures and other medical advances now with the technology available from the research already done the testing of animals now cannot be excused as ethically right.…
Human benefit should not overrule any damage or destruction to animals. Because the Animals can suffer like humans do, so it is speciesism to experiment on them while we refrain from experimenting on humans. Most experiments involving animals are flawed, wasting the lives of the animal subjects, Animal tests do not reliably predict results in human beings, and Drugs that pass animal tests are not necessarily safe for humans. There are the experiments in the United States that allows animals to be burned, poisoned, isolated, undernourished, drowned, addicted to drugs, and more. In all of these experiments they are not required to use pain killers, so as it's happening they are feeling all the pain.…
Animal Testing Animal testing once you hear it, it sounds very strange that people would ever test on animals. I'm Zach Durgin and it's awful that people test on animals, but it must be done. Animals testing has saved many lives. I wish they didn't have to use animals, hopefully we can replicate a machine similar to the human body soon. If we can go to the moon, we can create a machine we can test on.…
Cassidy Walton Professor Marek English 1101 Sec. 54AZ 6 June 2018 Annotated Bibliography: Animal Testing Animal testing is one of the most frowned upon scientific experiments around, but the whole world needs this testing to save the human race. There are causes and effects just like any other scientific experiments. The testing of animals helps the human race better understand the way animals react to the cures, and to help find cures for the diseases.…
After studying multiple views on animal testing I have come to realize my personal view has now changed since the start of my research. Before undergoing heavy study into animal testing I believed that all types of animal testing should be stopped, but now I believe that the idea is very beneficial and should only be done when the rights of the animal are considered. In the coming years, hopefully, more regulations can be passed to ensure that all animal’s lives are protected during experimentation. Although most animals are treated with care and no pain is dealt to them when undergoing testing, it would be a lie if I stated no animals are harmed during the process. Animal testing is extremely useful in developing life-saving drugs and medicine.…
Do you purchase cosmetic products, including personal hygiene products, such as shampoo, lotion, deodorants and makeup? The answer is probably yes, because as Americans the mandate to consume is encouraged ad nauseum, coupled with statements that say something is “new and improved”. Nevertheless, there many reasons why these seemingly small things, have a big impact. The cosmetic industry has an annual revenue of over fifty billion dollars a year.…
