testing. This is because it is related to ethics of animal life and their welfare in the laboratory system. According to the US department of Agriculture Animal (USDA) and Plant and Animal Health Inspection Service (APHIS), 834,453 animals are used for scientific and commercial experimentations in 2014 (USDA, 2). Many scientists argue that animal testing has a great impact on prolonging life for humans. Mostly, laboratory animals are used to develop medication, medical treatment, and check…

all aspects of research is very appealing and similar to what I experienced working at SVSU’s Brain Research Laboratory. Your techniques and expertise would allow me to significantly expand what I know. All of your…

Animal Testing “Over 100 million animals are burned, poisoned, and abused in the United States labs every year” (11 Facts About Animal Testing). “The Animal Welfare Act (AWA) does not cover rats, mice, fish, and birds; which compromise around 95% of the animals used in research. It leaves 25 other animals uncovered. These animals are especially vulnerable to mistreatment and abuse without the protection of the AWA” (Should Animals Be Used for Scientific or Cosmetic Testing?). Animal activists…

expensive. The Animal Welfare Act of 1966 was established to create satisfactory standards for the treatment of animals. Animals used for research should be protected by the Animal Welfare Act, however, the animals excluded from this act are birds, rats, mice, farm animals, and endothermic animals. As a result, a tiny percentage of animals used in research are actually protected under this act. As important as it is to bring attention to this problem, it is also very essential to mention that,…

to DEET in laboratory and field testing. Amongst several downside when compared with DEET, the most clinically relevant appear to be its relatively shorter duration of action and a decreased efficacy as a tick repellent. Similar to DEET, there remains some controversy as to its exact mechanisms of action, but is thought to be either an insect olfactory antagonist or noxious stimulant. There appears to be no reports of human toxicity, although animal studies suggest hepatotoxicity in rats exposed…

Robert injects her with “GA series, serum 391, Compound 6”, a serum previously shown to be effective in rats (I Am Legend). He watches the monitors with no emotion, waiting for the effects to begin. The subject begins to respond with a decreasing pulse and lessening temperature, unfortunately as quickly as the response began so did the disease regression. She thrashes in her restraints and screams before falling back to the table with no heartbeat, but instead of allowing her death, Robert…

death of the individuals, the cords were excised form the cervical parts of the cadavers’ body and kept into a special package made for the transporting of the transplanted organs at 4 ºC. The spinal cord was transported into the mechanical testing laboratory and washed by solution of 0.90% w/v of NaCl with the…

forest fires and volcanic eruptions whose combustion creates Mercury. In addition, humans also create Mercury through incinerators used in power plants. Mercury is known to be very poisonous to humans and affects many organisms ranging from fish to rats in a neurological way. These effects include impaired growth, abnormal behavior, difficulties in reproduction, and even death. The sheer reality of Mercury is that it is very prominent in human lives. This is because the organisms that humans eat…

animals for product testing or in education and conduct researches or experiments for corporations, agricultural facilities, and military bases. According to the research more than 100 million animals are killed in the U.S. laboratories each year which does not includes numerous rats, birds, and rabbits etc.[1] Animals are people’s friends, and we do not want those animals to suffer. Hence, vivisection should be prohibited in the lab because of the following reasons. First, vivisection…

Animals have been used in laboratories across the globe for centuries. Whether it has been to test new drugs, plants, and multiple synthetic products, animals have always been the go-to ‘Guineapigs’ for testing new products and medications. However it was only recently that the pain and suffering that the animals in these laboratories face was made common knowledge. Thousands upon thousands of animals around the world are forced to inhale deadly toxins, swallow pills, have toxic liquids inserted…
