on and change their ways for the better. Conclusion Overall, I believe my project has successfully weighed up the pros and cons of animal captivity by sharing various case studies and contrasting the views of many philosophers including Singer, Regan, Mill, MacIntyre, Kant, Aristotle, Cohen and Partridge. Despite my slightly altered view of animal captivity in the UK after my interview with Ross Snipp, Zoo Manager of Flamingo Land, I still stand by my initial view that all forms of animal…

s book The Case for Animal Rights, philosopher Tom Regan argues that animals have rights due to their inherent value, which means that by existing and experiencing life, animals should be given rights equivalent to those of humans. Philosopher Carl Cohen counters that since nonhuman animals lack the capacity for moral judgments, they cannot have rights, yet we still have obligations to them. Philosopher Mary Warren, too, disagrees with Regan's stance, criticizing his use of obscure terms and…

It is not possible to write an effective essay about animal experimentation without having to resort to an emotional appeal. Though Heloisa Sabin and Jane Goodall could have avoided the use of pathos in their respective pieces, “Animal Research Saves Lives” and “A Question of Ethics,” they choose not to because they understood, to some degree, the rhetorical triangle and its role in formulating effective arguments. The term “rhetorical triangle” makes it evident that ethos, logos and pathos are…

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…

On the one hand, scientists that use animals as test subjects, such as Helosia Sabin and her late husband, argue that it is crucial for any medical progress because much testing is required before releasing a new drug into the public. On the other hand, people like Peggy Carlson, a scientist herself…
