Matthew Gladiator Boom! Clap! As the sound dissipates my head stops throbbing like a fish squirming on the ground. My vision gets clearer as I start getting my strength back. The dungeon that I'm in smells like a dumpster. Old victim’s skeletons draped across the floor. Dried blood smeared across the walls. Not the best room that I've been in but, it could be worse. I look down on my tattered clothes to see my hands chained with weights on them. My stomach is heaving for food. I couldn't…

iant panda may look like a vegetarian on the outside, but it definitely looks like a carnivore on the inside. A genetic analysis of 121 samples of panda poop finds that the community of microbes living inside these animals’ guts is optimized to digest meat. This is despite the fact that giant pandas have been eating bamboo for at least 7 million years, and that the plant has been the bears’ sole food source for at least 2 million years. The findings, published Tuesday in the journal mBio, may…

John B. Calhoun was a ethologist (John B. Calhoun, Wikipedia) and a behavioral researcher. “He claimed that the bleak effects of overpopulation on rodents were a grim model for the future of the human race.” Calhoun is also the creator of the term, “behavioral sink”, which in other words, could be seen as a point of irreversible damage to individuals in a society that have had problems. Calhoun was born in Elkton Tennessee (John B. Calhoun, Wikipedia). In high school, Calhoun joined a club…

Animal testing has been used in the advancement of medicine, cosmetics and household products since the 19th century. Since that time there have been more than 100 million animal deaths each year and millions more are commonly subjected to force feeding, prolonged periods of physical restraint, neck breaking and decapitation due to animal experimentations (PETA 3). Even after recognition that animal testing seldom provides accurate results in human beings, the torture and speciesism continues.…

whales are not the only large animals that are known to resist disease. One would think that because larger animals have more cells they would be more susceptible to mutations. One would also think that the more time an animal lives, the more time it has to develop mutations. This is not the case and this lack of correlation is called Peto’s Paradox (Caulin & Maley, 2011, p. 1). The statements mentioned above are incorrect because it is known that some larger animals live longer. Much like how…

cardiovascular disease to Parkinson’s.” Should scientist really risk the life of an animal to try an experiment that may or may not work? Even though, “Critics warned that the technology brought with it a high risk of miscarriage and still birth (born full-term…

I. Introduction a. There is an estimated 115 million animals used for research in laboratories every year. The precise number is unknown because so few countries actually collect data about every animal they use for testing and research. II. Narration a. Animal testing is the use of any non-human animal in an experiment. It has become more prevalent in the past few decades due to advancements in the medical and scientific fields. Without these experiments, we would not have many of the…

likely tested on animals. Animal trials began around 150 years ago and considered to be ‘useful’ in scientific research. The use is for biology lessons, medical training, and drug, food, cosmetic, and chemical testing. Organizations keep trying to put an end to animal testing once and for all; some say it is unnecessary and inhumane. Scientists should not be testing on animals because animals are very different from human beings, a lot of animals are not protected by the Animal Welfare Act, and…

genetic engineering could be used, anyways from food to animals to cells. Because there is such a wide range of areas that genetic engineering can be used there is also an array of concern for where it is acceptable and where it may be crossing an ethical border. Some people may be okay with the genetic mutation of food if it means a better supply but may draw the line at the genetic mutation of animals for the same reasons that animal testing is an ethical issue. The main point for concern in…
