Despite the significant medical findings made through animal experiments, there are substantial flaws to animal experimentation as well. First, animal experiments can lead to deceptive results and incorrect conclusions. Animals are different from humans, therefore, they would make substandard test subjects.

dogs be released from Charles River Laboratories. After weeks of pressure from the public, the company agreed to release the dogs. 31 dogs were saved this time, but who's to say they will be next? What about the other animals: mice, frogs, rabbits, hamsters, cats, guinea pigs, monkeys, fish, and birds? There are many negatives to animal…

you ever had a experience of finding an animal, adopting them, and caring for them until you can find a home for them, I have. As a kid me and my friends would always play vet, to us it didn’t matter if we were “caring” for my hermit crabs, fish, hamsters, dog, or stuffed animals we still “saved” their lives.

Have you ever looked at you make-up and wondered how people knew it wouldn’t hurt your skin. Or when you get a shot, how people knew it would help you and not harm you.

But after you read that, don’t say “oh my gosh, I am never going to get a flu shot again or wear makeup again.” because they get relieved of their pain if doesn’t go as planned. They also get housed…

In regards to Plato’s Theory of Forms, this pursuit of greatness which I stated to be my philosophy to life may be as meaningless as a hamster stuck in the running wheel; the hamster will always be stuck in the same exact spot despite its tireless efforts. After all, this lust and motivation for greatness individuals such as I strive towards is driven mainly due to materialism wants in the hopes of it…

Animal Experimentation Animal experimentation- the process of using animals to test the safety of products in order to better understand the workings of the human body.

The living conditions of the monkeys were very inhuman, having them in small wire cages full of feces and urine and very unsanitary. “Each year, more than 100 million animals—including mice, rats, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, monkeys, fish, and birds—are killed in U.S. laboratories for biology lessons, medical training, curiosity-driven experimentation, and chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing” (ProCon). There are alternatives to using animals for…
