Animal Rights Jeremy Bentham, the author of The Principle of The Morals and Legistation said “The question is not, “Can they reason?” nor, “Can they talk?” but “Can they suffer?””. According to the Collins English Dictionary - Complete & Unabridged 10th Edition (2015), retrieved from Dictionary.com website, animal rights is defined as the freedom of animals to live free from human abusing them and taking advantage of their privileges of having a well taken cared life. As the world is…

Mohandas Gandhi once said, “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed.” The needs of animals and our world would be fulfilled much more efficiently if humans were not abusing and completely disregarding all of the illustrious accomplishments they have been trying to acquire. With that being said, animals and the planet are a grave part of human’s success and their needs should undoubtedly be put before those of humans. To begin, it is obvious that the human…

cruel, painful testing on innocent animals will have the same outcome for people. The truth is that 95% of the tests that pass through animals proceed to fail in the human body. And why would that be? The two of us are such different species with different body structures and brain functions; therefore, we aren’t correspondent at all. In all reality, performing these gruesome tests is not worth our time because they aren’t shown to perform the same for humans, additionally, this testing is way…

(New York: Oxford University Press, 1998), 825, http://www.questia.com/read/88356604/ethics-history-theory-and-contemporary-issues.)

That trial, controlled or…

Did you know that there have been very few deaths caused by exotic animals and not many injuries caused either? According to National Geographic, there have been around 540 or more total human injuries caused by exotic animals and around 75 total human deaths caused by exotic animals from 1990 to 2012. Many were caused by stupidity and at times it was due to the person teasing the animal, but some were due to the instinct of the animal and that is something they simply can't stop. Even though…

labs every single day. Animal testing is used in order to experiment with specific treatments, products, and medicine; to study viruses; and to ensure the safety of other animals and humans. Animals of all families used in research are treated brutally and have minimal protection in…

the need for medical research, these rights have been violated by the act of animal testing. I will argue that animal testing shouldn’t be a method we adopt. In support of my claim, I will offer three reasons. Firstly, it is cruel and inhumane to do testing with harmful consequences on animals. Secondly, the harmful use of animals has proven to be often ineffective as it is inapplicable to humans.Lastly, animal testing is not the only option available when it comes…

Animal rights is an idea that non-human animals should be entitled to their own lives, and that they should be afforded similar consideration as human. I will argue that it is a better option for humans not to accept animal rights, and I will offer three reasons to support this claim. Firstly, Animal rights is limiting to the advancement in human health. Secondly, there are alternatives to accepting the Animal rights. Finally, Animal rights does not support animal control, which is important for…

Lwin Moe Aung 27 November 2016 Mrs. Oberlin/Mrs. Meneely BioLit 3-4 Animal Testing “The question is not, can they reason? Nor, can they talk? but, can they suffer?" A quote from English philosopher Jeremy Bentham, we can ask the same question when referring to animal testing. Over the decades, animal testing has been used worldwide, and although it may have led to medical breakthroughs, at what expense does it have to the animals? That’s why using animals in research should be banned…
