When it comes to whether animals should be used in animal testing, the problem that arises with this is the moral ethics that come with animal testing. Because of these morals, I decided that using animals for testing is wrong. This paper will give reasons why using animals is wrong and ways it can be changed to prevent animals from being used by research laboratories in companies just to see how humans might benefit from the process used in testing. Why animals are used in testing, from a…
Should animals have the same rights as humans? This is an ongoing debate that could end in one of two ways: either animals are granted rights and the lives of animals change to benefit them while humans lives change in a way that could harm them, or animals are denied rights and life goes on just as it has for years and years. In his essay, Why Animals Deserve Legal Rights, Steven M. Wise, a specialist in animal-rights law, strives to persuade his audience to incline towards legal rights for…

Banning Pit Bulls Doesn’t Solve the Problem Pit bulls are vicious animals and should not be pets, but let’s look at what they were really bred for. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, (ASPCA) Pitbull’s were bred for bull-baiting and bear-baiting.
