Animal

Animals are thought to be separate from humans. However, they both are in the animal kingdom, and even as mammals they share certain characteristics: they are vertebrates, endothermic, have body hair, and mammary glands. These characteristics are what relates animals to humans. Although, there are various aspects which distinguishes an animal from a human.

Animal testing has been being used for the past several years with tons of issues along the way; maybe it’s time to try another method of experimenting. This type of testing is very unfair to the wellbeing and even the life span of multiple different animals, not to mention that it is crazy expensive. It is very important that doctors and scientists are trying their hardest to find better, more efficient, medical procedures but this doesn’t necessarily mean it needs to be tested on animals who…

They see them as friends or even as their own family members because animals provide their company as well as can sometimes sense what a person is going through. This proves that animals have feelings and help so many people through their struggles. Furthermore, animals can be excluded in testing with todays advanced technology. There are numerous methods directed toward not using animals within experiments. One example is to use…

The existence and history of animals on Earth is extraordinarily extensive with fossil evidence dating their inhabitance here roughly 560 million years ago. This by far surpasses the seemingly short in comparison recorded verification of human life that only goes back some 6,000 years ago. Before the paving of paths, the construction of building, and the before formation of civilization animals roamed and enjoyed all the Earth had to offer. As time passed, humans would similarly become accustom…

condition or disorder. Animal assisted therapy was introduced as a way to help people cope and learn to deal with emotional, physical or mental problems. I would have like to have the opportunity to work with an animal assisted therapist when I was first diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Some people that I know were able to relax and not stress as much about all that came from having diabetes by being close to the therapy dogs at the hospital. I believe that the use of animal assisted therapy…

or animal, this harmful act on innocent animals needs to stop. The problem is that today’s society is driven by money and will do anything to get it no matter the consequences. When it is too late and we have hunted animals like tigers, lions, rhino, and elephants into extinction perhaps then we might try to do something like cloning. Poaching doesn't just affect the animals that are being killed, it causes other animals to die also because they are losing the resources the endangered animal…

and Sephora cosmetics are using animals to test their make-up and beauty’s materials.

Animal Cruelty “Animal cruelty is ignored every day.” Thomas Gray once wrote, “ignorance is bliss.” Every day animals are beaten, neglected, abused, or even just struggling to survive. Animals are sometimes left in unsanitary conditions with no food water. Animals may have little hope while living from day to day without the compassion animals deserve. Some of them are lucky to get rescued, and are given the chances to see how great humans and life can be, but others are not as lucky to get the…
