Laughter in animals

“Wilds Animals Aren’t Pets” and “Opposing View: Let People Own Exotic Animals”, the following essays on the keeping of exotic and wild animals as pets were first published in USA Today in a "Today's Debate" column (2011) (Wyrick, 2014). When we objectively analyze the strengths and weakness of each essay, the argument for not having an exotic animal for a pet is demonstrated as follows. So some people may wonder why we shouldn’t keep exotic animals as pets. We should not keep exotic animals as…

This semester in Experimental psychology: Learning and Behaviors we started lab by learning to understand the responsibilities on how to use animals in a laboratory setting. We had to pass a test regarding the ethics of the treatment of animals. These ethics involved the institution, state, and federal regulations. Once we finished this process we received 15 Syrian male hamsters that were only 22 days old. We got split into a group of two, and got to care for one hamster per group. Each group…

Should Marine Animals be kept in Captivity or Not? Imagine if the planet you lived in, the house you breathed in, and also the freedom you contended in were suddenly quarantined from you. There is and increasing crisis of whether marine animals should be kept in captivity or not. Marine animals should not be kept in captivity. There are three reasons of why marine animals should not stay in captivity. One reason is that the marine animals’ life span and health decreases. One way their health…

For example, “‘Rats and mice eat and contaminate human, pet and livestock foods’”(source 3). This shows that rats and mice can transfer diseases into the food that people eat. In addition, rats can also transfer diseases to animals due to their reputation for disease carrying abilities. Another example would be, “They also destroy property by chewing wires, which may cause fires, as well as gnaw pipes, chew water hoses and damage wood doors, floors, walls, clothing and furniture”(source…

Living things have been vanishing since the start of life on our planet. Truth be told, most species that have ever lived on Earth are presently wiped out or never again living. Right around 50 percent of plant species and 75 percent of creature species, including the dinosaurs, wound up terminated. Species are constantly vanishing. This is the aftereffect of infections, rivalry from different species or the regular change in their atmosphere. At the point when people turned into the most…

The existence and history of animals on Earth is extraordinarily extensive with fossil evidence dating their inhabitance here roughly 560 million years ago. This by far surpasses the seemingly short in comparison recorded verification of human life that only goes back some 6,000 years ago. Before the paving of paths, the construction of building, and the before formation of civilization animals roamed and enjoyed all the Earth had to offer. As time passed, humans would similarly become accustom…

If you look closely at the picture you will see a tall white bird. This bird along with others birds is so special because it has adapted to its ecosystem, the pond. Millions and Millions of years ago Birds in the same location as the pond ecosystem had just legs and no wings, which was a problem. Because the bird got wings The birds also need wings to catch prey, such as flying insects, without wings they couldn't reach it. Another reason the bird would have adapted is because the ecosystem…

The Ugly Truth Behind Animal Testing “Every year 1000’s of animal lays under the table for experiments and testing and dies from testing. No experiments are illegal and almost 100% of the testing has drugs” (“Top Five Shocking…”). Rabbits, pigs, hamsters, and mice are some of the animals that have to suffer, blinded, poisoned and killed to test new cosmetic products and their ingredients. This is worldwide, but some countries are worse than others. They can still live after the experiment and…

“Humane Society International compared a variety of animal tests with their in vitro counterparts and found animal tests were less accurate and more expensive in every scenario tested.” This is significant because it shows that there are so many other alternate experiments. An interesting fact; 95% of animals used in testing are not covered by the Animal Welfare Act which excludes the experimentation of birds, mice and rats. Which is ridiculous because people aren’t rats. They won’t react the…
