Why Is Animal Cruelty Bad

Decent Essays
I do think that animal cruelty is bad, but it was helpful. Now I don't want people to get angry at me but risking a human's life to go into space without if there was no dogs around is reasonable but if you were one of the people to go into space to test whether or not you can survive up there, you wouldn't want to be up in the sky revolving in space with no food. You would much rather save your own life and risk an animal to test the safety of being in space. Then what are they arguing for? It's either someone that can change the view of earth and possibly do something to change the life of others, or an animal that does tricks, may do something to make others do that weird "AWW" thing, and that may go abandoned in the streets life being saved. I know that animal abuse is serious thing but come on. A scientist dying or a creature that can be reborn dying. May I add that there are many more of its kin here on earth.

But it did serve a big purpose and a huge role for humanity. I'm grateful that most test aren't on animals.

    Human beings are only obliged to extend ethical treatment to animals only if they are endangered, domesticated, or abused. Sure one can raise the argument for Darwinism to take it’s role, but if humans have the ability to alter mother nature’s intentions, then why let it happen? Besides, every single plant, animal, or organism contributes to an ecosystem, and are either prey,predator, or producer and create an interdependence on one another for survival. If an endangered species ends up extinct, then the whole ecosystem will suffer.…

    Hank Greely says in his ted talk, “We are making animals that didn’t exist before, if we caused them intense and unjustified suffering, that is not an ethical thing to do.” This quote is true. People say that scientists will be bringing back extinct species, but really they will be creating a new species by using DNA from the extinct animal as well as another animal close to it. If scientists create this animal and it cannot live in it’s environment and suffers, it will not be right. The process of attempting this can also cause unnecessary suffering, which already happened.…

Animals ethics is a term to describe the way the human reacts with the animal and how the animal should properly be treated.
