When speaking of animal research, it is easy to see it as a morbid, more grotesque field. This is likely because it is easy to see the words “research” and “experimentation” as surgeries that are performed to see if something works and could usually result in death of the animal used in the experiment. However, this is not so, with much of today’s technology animal research and experimentation is performed when there is no better alternative and with medical advancements we can safely perform…

*95% of animals used for experiments are not protected by the Animal Welfare Act, the only act governing animal testing. Laws protecting animals need to include test animals used for experiments and these laws should be more strongly enforced. In order to minimize the number of animals used for testing and make sure they are not mistreated, the laws need to make it harder for researchers to use animals, making alternatives more appealing. Many people would agree that animal testing is morally…

Is Animal Testing Wrong? In the current discussions of animal testing, an important argument has been whether or not animal testing is wrong, considering that animals have feelings. One viewpoint is that using animals for testing is completely okay and important in human survival. From this idea, many people such as Heloisa Sabin believe that “without animal research, polio would still be claiming thousands of lives each year” (158). Basically, Sabin is stating that sacrificing animals for…

Introduction Administering different types of drugs, infecting innocent and defenseless animals with diseases, poisoning, implantations, and causing brain damage are just some of the elements of what animal experimentation truly is. Cosmetics, cleaning supplies, and personal care products are only a small fraction of the many products used frequently by people that are tested regularly on animals for research-based and scientific studies. Although some may be completely unaware of, we use a…

Animal experimentation Humans depend on controversy to obtain an ominous view of all the facts to make an educated decision. While many humans can never unanimously agree on a whole heartedly ethically inclined decision, it can help create progress especially in cases of animal cruelty. Although many people are against animal cruelty, the controversy is dictated to people’s opinions on whether animal experimentation is more helpful or more harmful. Animal experimentation is incredibly…

The animal rights movement seeks to include non-human animals in the so-called moral community that humans belong to, by encouraging others to respect their basic interests as they would the interests of a human. In practical terms, the adoption of animal rights into legislation would mean that non-human animals could not be used for food, clothing, entertainment, or experimentation. Several industries have been affected positively by the animal rights movement. From agriculture to fashion to…

Animal experimentation remains serious problems in our society. In our society, animals are treated differently. Some people treat animals as pets and others use them for developing technology. In recent years, animals are used in order to make sure that products are safe enough to be used for humans. Also new effective medical treatments have been effectively developed because of animal experiments. However the tests that the animals are used are extremely painful and immoral. Although people…

Help in the oxford dictionary is defined as “making it easier or possible for (someone) to do something by offering them one's services or resources” (Oxford). PETA claims they help animals but do they really? Do their campaigns help their cause or defeat it? Or is it the hypocrisy that they live by that drags them down? No matter what, PETA still keeps claiming something that they’re not. A PETA member told me that they educate the masses so people can make informed choices (Melissa). Is it…

Animal abuse and cruelty is almost always a fiery topic to bring up. The documentaries Project Nim and The Paw Project are very different in their approach to how best show animal treatment and what is best. The similarity is that both show and prove we cant just take creatures away from their innate lives. They are born to be and do what they do regardless if humans exist or not. Project Nim is the story of a chimpanzee that was taken from his mother days, if not hours after being born. He was…
