Equine-Assisted Therapy “The horse evokes some form of emotion in all of us. In Western cultures the almost tangible yearning of prepubescent girls for a horse or pony companion is undeniable. The thundering of hooves as galloping horses race for a finish line can bring whole nations to a standstill. The gentle enquiring tickle of a nostril can produce the hint of a smile in the most disabled child. Jones (1983) suggests that the horse is a symbol of ‘human spirit and freedom’.” Horses have…

“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…

In "All Animals Are Equal," Peter Singer argues that any being with sentience should be granted equal moral consideration. In this paper, I will reconstruct Singer's argument and explain the premises on how he came to this conclusion. To begin with, Singer defines sentience as the capacity to suffer or experience enjoyment or happiness (Singer 53). Singer states that "if a being is not capable of suffering, or of experiencing enjoyment or happiness, there is nothing to be taken into account...…

Yet through their training and day to day work, they start getting closer to understanding animals, they learn to read animal behavior to try to help them when they are sick or injured.

Animal testing is a hazy subject. Humans have a huge advantage over other species because of our intellect. We are able to create and achieve amazing, mind boggling things, and we will mostly likely continue to do so. But to continue we need advancements in science and technology which are achieved through testing. Biological sciences require we test on living things, which Earth has an abundance of. What makes animal testing an agrued subject is because humans and animals share a few qualities.…

The main problem which causes the most damage to the Blue whale’s population comes from whaling. Blue whales and other species of whales all weigh tons, meaning they can provide enormous amounts of meat, blubber, skin and other body parts with a single catch. It is believed that an average sized whale contains “152 tons of more or less edible material” and with some calculations, a single whale can provide “604,000 people [with a] single meal” (Nessen 1), and this excluding the other benefits…

Based on a documentary called "BlackFish", SeaWorld lies about many things. Now, imagine being on a still boat in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of California. A seal is swimming around your boat. All of a sudden you see a group of killer whales (pod) swimming furiously, with one thing on its mind. Food. The instinct to hunt its prey, and the blood lust going through its mind. The seal is trying to evade the whales by dodging their mouths, and swimming vigorously away. Then, in one sudden…
