Educational Testing Service

The readings for week was filled with great resourceful information, however it was disheartening that after many years of reported and unreported cases of child abuse and neglect being central to human rights issues child abuse laws and policies still aren’t standard or regulated throughout the world not even within the United States of America as a country. What was really mind boggling is that Animal Abuse Advocates were fighting for animal rights long before there were human rights advocates…

Is honey safe for dogs? The answer: it depends. While honey has been proven to have medicinal properties -- with reports of some owners using honey to treat their dog’s allergies and as topical solution to burns, with success -- it’s not for every dog. According to the American Kennel Club, giving raw honey to dogs can be dangerous to their health, especially dogs with compromised immune systems and puppies, which can be at risk of botulism. On the contrary, raw honey can be given to dogs…

As a young Hispanic female, it is difficult to strive in STEM fields when other minorities aren’t acknowledged or the budget prevents one from pursuing an education. For example, in the veterinary medicine field, there is a low representation among Hispanics. In 2010, Texas had at least 2% of their veterinarians as Hispanic. Polls were taken to solve the lack of diversity, and were found that the lack of diversity was mainly because of expenses. The lack of representation of the Hispanic…

A park in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, has a huge boulder field of musical rocks. Visitors to the park bring hammers, sticks, railroad spikes, and other odd things, to “play” the musical rocks. When tapped with a hammer, another rock, or other things, about one-third of the rocks in the field make a high-pitched melody that seems impossible to be ringing from a rock. At first, scientists thought it was strange that they never saw any wild animals in the boulder field. Then, they realized that all…

The Steel Trap There are many different types of animal traps. There are snares that capture and entangle small mammals such as squirrels and rabbits. There are deadfall traps that crush smaller animals when triggered and there are trapping pits that are meant to capture live animals. However, the most unique trap is the body gripping trap. The body gripping trap (A.K.A the Conibear trap) was invented in 1957 by a man named Frank Conibear. The trap was supposed to be an alternative to leg-hold…

During this lab report, we observed the anatomy of a rat. Our task was to dissect a rat and identify its internal organs along with the function of those organs. We carefully removed 10 organs from our rat to take notes on. What we noticed was the homologous structures of the rats were closely related to our own body composition. Their internal organs were positioned in close relation to where ours takes shape, and they looked immensely similar. In addition to their location and size, the rat's…

Animal testing is simple and studies show mice having practically the identical connection to human genes. Organ-on-a chip designs take time and there are always possibilities to stop it from working. At the end of the day, mice can mimic human genes effectively. How could organs-on-a-chip ever beneficially cure diseases in comparison to animal testing? To be precise, organs-on-a-chip will soon be one of the most operational and constructive chips to discover cures. Harvard University…

concentration camps, but six billion broiler chickens will die this year in slaughterhouses. Every year the cost of animals to use for experimenting goes up. Animal testing has first been used in 1242, a man named Ibn al-Nafis provided accurate descriptions of the circulation of blood in mammals. However, the use of animal testing is inhumane and virtually unethical. Animals have been living on Earth longer than humans. Animals used in experiments…
