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.…
As stated by Professor Charles R Magel,“Ask the experimenters why they test on animals and the answer is: ‘Because animals are like us’. Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals and the answer is ‘Because the animals are not like us’. Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction” (Source #4). Scientists believe that animals are more similar to us in body anatomy and biology than personality. However, they’re more like us human in a sense of consciousness rather than body.…
Jeremy Rifkin argues that animal rights should be free from exploitation, cruelty, neglect, and abuse. Rifkin also mentions how mistreated laboratory animals and farm animals are and also effect us. The science shows it all and supports what people knew in their hearts from the beginning. All these discoveries are beginning to change the way we view animals. They have emotions just like humans.…
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.…
Animals are not human. However close they may be, that is up to biology, but the fact still remains that animals are not human. In “A Change of Heart about Animals,” Jeremy Rifkin says that science has discovered that animals “feel pain, suffer and experience stress, affection, excitement and even love – and these findings are changing how we view animals.” (15)…

Should Animal Testing be banned? Introductory paragraph (introduces the topic) Attention-getter; Imagine, being taken away from your family, and living inside a crowded cage in a laboratory without ever seeing daylight again. Every day, animals are being forcefully held down and strapped, while a scientist has a new drug or chemical product to test on their bodies.…
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?…
Mice and rats make up most of the animals that are used for testing because their DNA is so similar to ours (Animal Testing). While mice and rats are used for a lot of tests there is nothing in the animal welfare act that protects them (Animal Testing). There are many laws about the use of monkeys and primates in labs due to the fact that they are endangered. Many labs still use these animals in their labs and it ends up harming them. In Boston a primate was being used for a test, but was found dead in a test chamber after only 10 minutes (The Animal Welfare Act Does Not).…
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.…
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.…
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.…
Question: Should animals be used for scientific experiments? Title: Animal Rights and Testing I. Introduction A. Background information The timeline of animal experimentation Viewpoints of animal testing B. (Thesis): Overtime, animal usage in experiments has changed from the past, present, and future, along with people’s viewpoints on the topic.…
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.…
