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 of Behavioral Research (IBR). IBR referred Pacheco to Dr. Edward Taub who was researching surgically crippled primates to monitor the rehabilitation of impaired limbs. Pacheco was offered a volunteer position working with student intern Georgette Yakalis.…

Starting off an essay with four different sickening cases of animal abuse from animal testing definitely catches an audience's attention. In the article, Calls to Stop Testing on Animals at Universities, kittens, monkeys, dogs, and rats were all tested and abused at Australian Universities. All four cases had occurred in the last year with the goal to make medical and scientific advancements. Although the testing does not break any laws, the animals endured a great amount of pain from the tests. Alexandra Sedgwick was one person that noticed the testing and took a stance.…
Animal Rights and Experimentation The two most controversial topics dealing with animals is their rights and experimentation. There has been an ample amount of opinions for and against each topic. Within the collection of essays in Animal Experimentation by Cindy Mur, all viewpoints are expressed with evidence behind them. These topics are brought up in various ways through everyday life.…
The controversy begins with the idea that animals that are not treated humanely prior to, during, and after research. According to Jacqueline L. Longe, writer of the article “Animal Experimentation,” “The Animal Welfare Act (Laboratory Animal Welfare Act of 1966, P.L. 89-544) was signed into law by then-President Lyndon Johnson in August 1966. The Act covers the humane housing and treatment of cats, dogs, hamsters, rabbits, nonhuman primates, and guinea pigs.” Precautions have already been taken to ensure that household animals are not treated poorly but are treated humanely. Animals that are needed specifically for research such as rats and mice are exempt from the Animal Welfare Act because they are highly important for health research.…

Have you ever read where they test the products you use everyday? You may be surprised with what you find and may even stop using the product entirely. For the a modern world we live in we should try a new way to test products we use.

Close your eyes and picture yourself as an innocent animal. While being that animal someone comes along an takes you in and feeds, shelter, and comforts you.

These are just a few animal abuse in today's society that needs to be extinguished, therefore animals in our ecosystem deserve rights. Those rights should end the problems with animal abuse, abandonment, and animal experimentation.…

It is a growing problem that needs to stop. I have always loved animals especially dogs, and this is why I am interested in this topic. This paper analyzes the causes, signs and prevention of animal cruelty.…
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.…
The ethical treatment of animals should be taken more seriously because of the cruelty suffered by animals at amusement events, factories and in the research field. Animals ethics is a term to describe the way the human reacts with the animal and how the animal should properly be treated. Many philosophers believe that since animals doesn’t have the moral judgement that humans have, then anyone can do whatever they want to do them because they don’t know right from wrong. An animal is very important, the animal will know if what is happening to them is normal or not, many things people do to them wouldn’t be something they experience on a daily basis. Animals doesn't deserve to be treated any differently than humans.…
