1. Issue Summery
The issue I identified is about inhumane animal research which is wrong because human treat animals as less important than mankind. In the paper, Dylan start paper with questioning about human right verses animal right. Animal research has been done for human’s benefits. Human treat animals as second species, which looks animal lower than human kind. From the history, human uses animals with brutal methods.

Dylan express that animal research is conducted brutal and inhumane condition. Dylan gave example of 1983 research from Head Injury Clinic from University of Pennsylvania. They used 53 adult baboons to research head injuries caused by vehicle and …show more content…
Questions bring people to think about their rights and attitudes regarding animals and other species. More questions make people think more and guide people to explore further questions. This approach helps people to see this argument in depth.
3. Weakness
Ironically, many questions in this paper may lead people to fall into different premises. There are many questions in this paper. From “What is the value of human life?” to “Don’t you think that nonhuman animals desire the same sense of safety, security, and longevity?” Although all questions are related, in my opinion, specific question would be support main premises than other question because there is a possibility that people may think this paper is about general animal rights.
The other weakness is confusion between main premise and support premise. In my opinion, main premise is animal research is bad because animal research is conducted unethically, and supportive premise is humanity treat animal terribly because we categorize animals as “Subhuman”. In the paper, two premises are stated constantly. It may blur the point of main premise.
