Treatment and Interventions

Sometimes, when we are confronted with an animal, we are quick to judge based on their physical appearance. In events like adoption, the cute animal is the one most likely to get adopted. Pets such as dogs are picked based on size and age. If they are small or young, they are considered cute and are the ones getting adopted. The people adopting in this case, are using superficial anthropomorphism, an inadequate type of anthropomorphism. However, what about wild animals that are illegally sold…

Animal Test Subjects in Biomedical Research INTRODUCTION: BACKGROUND: The first evidence of animal testing dates back to ancient times, where scientists studied the anatomical structures of deceased subjects (Scutti). Living animals were experimented on by Greek physician-scientists and used to examine nerves and tendons (Scutti). In Rome, during the 2nd century, a physician named Galen of Pergamum practiced anatomy, physiology, pathology and pharmacology on animals (Scutti). He was the first…

Each day while walking through the dorms, in the halls, and in the restrooms I see it. My skin crawls just seeing how normalized this inhumanity is. Now I’m not talking about some horrific criminal behavior, some deliberate heinous act. The atrocity I am seeing is as inconspicuous and tame as a simple tube of mascara. I am talking about the widespread use of animal testing on the cosmetic products we use every day. From hairspray to lip gloss, beauty products are routinely tested for harmful…

cruelty free or are working on being cruelty free such as, The United States, Taiwan, Canada, Brazil, Australia and others. More than one million animals die due to experimentation. People have created organizations like PETA (people for the ethical treatment of animals), CAAT (center for alternatives for animal testing) and the ECEAE (European coalition to end animal experiments) do everything in their power to prevent more countries from supporting animal testing and cruelty. The first tests…

Some people claim that animal research is necessary because there are no alternatives. According to ¨Why are animals used in research,¨ animals are the best subject to research on because they are usually more reliable and they precise. The same source also claimed that animals are better than other subjects because they have a lot in common with humans and are the closest things we can get to exact replicas. Although animals are similar to humans, we do have many other ways that can be more…

Millions of animals around the world being abused causing them pain, depression, and anxiety. They spend all of their lives inside in small cages with minimum room; they're confused, scared and very lonely and aren’t able to interact with other animals, and aren’t able to defend themselves. Many different types of species have to suffer everyday because of animal testing. Animal testing shouldn’t be allowed considering it is abusive, ethical wrong, and not beneficial for humans or animals.…

How has science contributed to the modern Cinderella makeover?. Science plays a big part in makeup because chemist and engineers are always working on creating new products for people to use and then they improve the old ones. To make makeup related products you need intensive research and advanced technology to make sure the substances are able to be applied on the face. The advantages in having science in makeup is that scientist, chemist and researchers make sure that people don't get any…

animals? Humans have been testing on animals since before 322 BC and has cured over 29 diseases in the past 200 years. Animal testing is the best way to find information that our society needs. Animal testing had contributed to life saving cures and treatments. Animal testing had helped us understand conditions such as brain injury, malaria, childhood leukemia, and more. According to the American Cancer Society, the fight against cancer has seen 24 significant biomedical advances in the past…

wrote an artical about the ethics of animal testing and this statement sums it up very well “Many animals are no different than humans. They can feel pain and experience pleasure. Therefore, they should have the same moral status and deserve equal treatment…

If it is okay to treat animals like they don’t feel anything, then why is it that humans are not the ones being tested on? There are plenty of bad apple humans that can surely be tested on for experimentation. It seems as though scientists and researchers value human lives over the lives of animals. This is unacceptable as all lives matter and should all be treated fairly! The rhesus monkeys that underwent experimentation for love were un-cared for. Harlow should have conducted his experiment…
