I chose to study the famous Silver Spring Monkeys case, which is one of the biggest animal- rights cases to ever happen and the first to be brought to the U.S Supreme Court. It involves the highly acclaimed animals-rights group PETA and Dr. Edward Taub from the Institute of Behavioral Research. During May of 1981 in Silver Spring, Maryland, Alex Pacheco of the animals-rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) went undercover as someone looking for a job at the Institute…

In 2004, I was playing around outside with a couple of the neighborhood kids. We were playing a game of kickball in the back yard and the neighbors dogs were outside with us as well. I was up next to kick the ball after I kicked I started running towards first base and I ended knocking one of the kids down. I went to help him up and out of concern for his owner one of his dogs came from behind and bite me on leg. He had two big Golden Retrievers. The dogs grip was so tight that neighbors had to…

“Unseen they suffer, unheard they cry, in agony they linger, in loneliness they die” Jo-Anne McArthur. Animals in factory farm endure immense suffering caused by their living conditions, which consequently affect human health, there are different ways to solve this problem. There are many ways animals are mistreated in factory farms. For instance, some workers do not successfully sedate cows and pigs so the animal struggles as they are hung upside down and have their throats sliced. Last Chance…

All of our lives, we place ourselves higher on the food chain than every other animal out there. Humankind as a whole treats nature far worse than it would ever treat another human being – or so we hope. Throughout the two films, Project Nim ¬- directed by James Marsh - and “The Paw Project” – another documentary that was posted by YouTube user “The Bat Vegan” – we are a witness to harmful treatment done by acclaimed scientists. “The Paw Project” touches on the realities of declawing all types…

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…

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…

If I could break any law it would be bringing dogs down to the beach in some places that they are not allowed. Dogs should be able to go down to the beach because there is a law against dogs at the beach in some areas. Dogs are wonderful pets that, in my opinion, should be able to go down to the beach. If the owners of the dog are living in a certain area that dogs are prohibited on the beach, then they would not like the area and they would feel bad for the dogs. There is one really…

and that it is done with the intent to drive the natives out or destroy them (Twain 528). The United States itself was the home to many Native American groups that are now extinct. Because of the humans need for conquering and territorial possession, they came in and robbed the Native Americans of their land so that they could have it for themselves. Even before this happened in the United States, the world was in the Age of Imperialism where each country was racing to claim as much territory as…
