Over 100 million animals suffer and die each in the United States for animal testing. Animals have been mistreated all throughout time. Some say they should be treated equal to humans. However, others say they don’t have feelings and they are only here to fulfill human needs. And of course, we have the people that don’t care for the situation at all. So, why are animal rights important? Who helps make it aware to people? Several people believe that animals have no rights. On the other hand, a…

PETA, which stands for people for the ethical treatment of animals, promotes animal rights and gives voice to this movement, however most of their advertising is unethical because of the use of false information, overly sexualized women, and content used to scare little kids. For example, imagine that you’re walking down the street with your kids when you see a Thanksgiving ad from PETA. The ad looks fine to you, but your children look petrified. Instead of seeing a mom carving a turkey for her…

Animal Rights and Experimentation The two most controversial topics dealing with animals is their rights and experimentation. There has been an ample amount of opinions for and against each topic. Within the collection of essays in Animal Experimentation by Cindy Mur, all viewpoints are expressed with evidence behind them. These topics are brought up in various ways through everyday life. Although it is not as prominent of an issue as many others, such as gay rights and politics, it is still…

Since 2001, the year when PETA’s co-founder Ingrid Newkirk declared the organization would intentionally become provocative, controversial “press sluts” to further pursue its goals, PETA’s media usage (notably the advertising method) has changed drastically. PETA’s media tactic has since then been widely criticised by various minority groups: feminists, black civil rights activists, and animal advocacy organizations alike. The tactic is considered by many to promote a “hierarchy of oppressions”,…

Is PETA a legitimate organization? How legit is PETA? They claim to be this ethical organization with the largest animal rights organization in the world. I have always thought the organization was genuine, yet it is said that PETA is the total opposite of what they claim to be and they need to be exposed. Contrary to these beliefs PETA is proven to be the most noble animal rights organization, they protect animals rights, they’re dedicated to saving animals, and there are no credible sources…

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) should be disbanded because they are hypocrites; they have problems with themselves, pets, people who make internet videos that are clearly fake and just about anything they can turn into propaganda. PETA is deranged, their website, themselves, the propaganda they spread. All of it is deranged. Before I go on to mention the stronger of PETA’s propaganda and lies I want to mention a YouTuber named Oicthatu812 he make a video that had a cat paw…

Animal testing has been used for centuries for scientific studies. 400 years ago William Harvey used animal testing to discover how blood circulated through our bodies. More modern animal research started about 150 years ago with the rise of physiology as a science. There have been many great discoveries with animal testing, but there has also been great controversy. Many people believe that animals should have the same rights as humans do when it comes to this topic. The definition of sacrifice…

other animals such as farm animals, but domesticated animals such as dogs and cats that are in places like the Humane Society of Berks County or the Animal Rescue League of Berks County are what they advertise more often. PETA was co-founded by Ingrid Newkirk in 1980. She has helped lead PETA for more than 35 years. She has traveled internationally to help spread the word about PETA and animal rights. Under Ingrid’s leadership, legislation passed the first ever spay-and-neuter clinic in…

Animal rights are rights which state that animals are free to live from human exploitation and abuse. That means that humans have no right to use animals in any way that could cause them to feel pain or make them die no matter how humane they are treated during what they experiencing, and that they should be free from any unnecessary pain and suffering, and premature death even if it is for the benefit of both humans and animals. Some of these rights include: freedom from hunger and thirst by…
