These puppies look happy, and that’s probably because they now aren’t in the inhumane conditions they had to be in at the mill. The article, End Puppy Mills claims, “It’s estimated that there are 15,000 puppy mills just in the U.S., all forcing dogs to produce constantly and are the suppliers of nearly 100% of all pet stores, newspapers, and online stores.” All of the animals that are at the mills are forced to live in inhumane conditions. Due to the conditions that the animals are in, the buyers don’t really know what they are going to get. Most of these buyers often end up paying thousands trying to fix the health issues that their new animal has, in worst case, sometimes the animal dies because of how awful the condition it was…

In the articles “Just Do What the Pilot Tells You” and “Review of Stanly Milgram’s Experiments on Obedience,” authors Theodore Dalrymple and Diana Baumrind describe the aspects of the Stanley Milgram experiment, while they both partake different topics to discuss. Dalrymple, a British physician, claims that there is a difference between blind obedience and blind disobedience, and there should be a healthy balance between the two (Dalrymple 119). However, Baumrind believes that the subjects should have been treated in a more enhanced way; therefore, claiming that the experiment unsuitably took advantage of the inherent trust and obedience given by the subject when volunteering to participate (Baumrind 89). These two articles are relevant to…
The second chapter focuses on Stanley Milgram and his controversial experiments on obedience. The first part of the chapter focuses on how Milgram’s experiments involved random volunteers and a few actors. The experiments involved being strapped into an electric chair while another volunteer went into another room filled with a generator and voltage options.

Neglected puppies inside puppy mills will most likely stay there for a short while, given that some mills sell up to 150 puppies a week. “The Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council estimates that American pet stores alone sell between 300,000 and 400,000 puppies a year” (Dionne). The breeding animals can never leave their cage, imprisoned in overcrowded, filthy cages and bred repeatedly until the female dogs no longer can. The puppies have little to no vet care, poor-quality food, and small living…
People are subject to influence from their peers and contextual surroundings. In Milgram's classic obedience study, he cites an experiment in which three teachers, two of which are actors, join the real subject. When the two actors refuse to continue with the experiment, 90% of subjects “joined their disobedient peers and refused as well” (Milgram, 1973). The authority that many groups establish of themselves, without holding any authority at all, is a powerful dynamic that most find impossible to resist. This paper has examined how large entities assert themselves by manipulating social conscience and behaviour, as well as how they’re able to reach that power through the growing social media platform.…
The Milgram experiment on obedience to power figures was an arrangement of social brain research experiments directed by Yale University analyst Stanley Milgram. They measured the ability of study members to comply with a power figure who trained them to perform acts clashing with their individual heart. Milgram initially portrayed his examination in 1963 in an article distributed in the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology and later talked about his discoveries in more noteworthy profundity in his 1974 book, Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View. The experiments started in July 1961, a year after the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem. Milgram contrived the experiment to answer the inquiry "Could it be that Eichmann and his million…

Paw Preference in Pets Research Kamila Filimonova Dogs, like humans have a preferred paw to use while we are either left-handed or right-handed. Studies show that if the dog is a male he is going to be mostly likely left-pawed, if it’s a female she is more likely to be right-pawed. Neutered animals show no preference over one paw or the other. Left-pawed dogs are chosen as police dogs or guide dogs and left-pawed dogs have a greater risk for diseases. When testing, clinical trails preform the test around a 100 times.…
