Animals are beings living with sensitivity despite their wild nature which man himself is not without. Because of this, they deserve to be treated with respect and consideration. It is in this spirit that the Declaration of Sentiments for animals should be adopted, to limit the acts of cruelty against them. It is a step to bring man to the respect for life in all its forms for the good of the entire community to which he belongs and which he depends. Ensure the respect for Animals’ rights is…

Animal experimentation has been and still is our main source of scientific research for humans. We have followed this tradition of experimenting on animals for decades, and it has been very useful to us, but at the same time it is cruel and is not 100% accurate. Animal experimentation is way to flawed and risky to put all our trust into it, and with all the dangers and risks that come with experimenting on animals we need to put a stop to it, and find some other way to get the research that…

What is the point of animal euthanasia? “Euthanasia literally means “good death” and true euthanasia, delivered by an intravenous injection, is painless, quick, and dignified in some cases. There are two main reasons for the use of euthanasia” (“Euthanasia”). One is due to the high number of unwanted companion animals and the lack of suitable homes. Sometimes the most humane thing that a shelter worker can do is give an animal a peaceful release from the world. The second is for a veterinarian…

According to Cruelty Free International (N.d.), the testing on the animals include, but are not limited to, the animals being forced to ingest substances, or have chemicals rubbed on or injected into their bodies. These tests more often than not end in the animals being killed so that researchers may examine…

Discrimination or Discovery? Throughout civilization’s history, many cruel forms of religious, racist, and sexist discrimination have existed in and dominated parts of the world. This discrimination has taken form as concentration camps, slave trades, and caste systems. An evolving platform that has caused some to speak out against discrimination recently, however, does not even involve humans. Animal rights activists have labeled this as “speciesism” and involves the discrimination of animals…

“All the arguments to prove man's superiority cannot shatter this hard fact: in suffering the animals are our equals.” states Peter Singer, as he speaks for animal liberation. Surely that makes sense? The debate is on whether or not animals are of the same or of a lesser moral importance than humans, wearying many people who have been bombarded with all the viewpoints. Yet, the situation is, for me very simple: if we are foolish enough to believe that any animals other than humans are not as…

Approximately 50-100 million animals worldwide are subjected to pain, suffering, and distress by means of experimentation. 1 Animal testing, often referred to as animal experimentation or animal research, is a common scientific procedure used in hopes of discovering and understanding biological and psychological processes within humans and animals with the use of non-human subjects. 2 These procedures began in the seventeenth century, but became more common during the nineteenth century as…

Topic: Animal Testing Should be banned Opening/Attention: I am a strong believer that there is no reason to include animals during cosmetic testing. It is overdue for Canada to put an official ban on animal testing, as it’s unnecessary animal cruelty and needless suffering. As a personal supporter of cruelty-free and vegan products, I can attest to the fact that using animals in the testing process is completely unnecessary. Not only unnecessary, but it’s unethical and inhumane to just…

as mumps and measles, things that would have killed us not to long ago. Even though we have skyrocketed in our medical understanding we still use the same methods from the beginning. My topic of interest is to understand the background to animal testing and why we still use it in the modern age. Unfortunately there are many illnesses that surround us in our everyday lives. There are many people that are diagnosed with aids, cancer, STDs, bacterial infection and other Illness that can hinder…

For decades, the use of animals for medical testing has been a topic of heated debate. In the US alone, it is estimated that 23 million animals are used for testing a year; the question is, is this necessary? Different people have contrasting views on this topic mostly because of diverse feelings for animals amongst the population. Some people view animals as family members and companions, while others view animals as a means for advancing medical techniques. Scientist and medical researchers…
