unrealistic idea. I do not understand how researchers advocate that animals are like us and therefore this enables brands to ensure safety of product before human use from testing them first on animals. However when asked why animals are treated in such cruel ways with no consideration to the excruciating pain caused the answer is because animals are not like us. So which is it? Animals are like us or are they not. Saying animals do not have feelings like humans is the greatest statement of ignorance
The beliefs that Pi learned in his youth in India that helped him later on the lifeboat are animals are better off in zoos than in the wild, persistance is key , and all animals are dangerous. Growing up in a zoo teaches lessons to a person that another couldn’t even fathom, and in many cases, those lessons lead to beliefs and different ways of thinking such as animals in zoos are better off than animals in the wild. Pi lists many different reasons why, one of them being “If you went to a home,
as an animal suffering under experimentally cruelty in laboratory facilities. Animals such as dogs, cats, rats, turtles, monkeys, frogs, guinea pigs, goats, and lizards are forced to contribute to these horrible experiments that involve spine crushing, jaw twisting, injections of lethal chemicals, drowned, or frozen, and sometimes even electrocuted to death by implanting wires into their brains. No animals should ever have to live through this, which is why I firmly believe in stopping animal experimentation
history, there have been countless attempts to create a flawless society. None of these attempts have resulted in a perfect society. Many attempts have failed; however, many have been successful. The novels Lord of the Flies, by William Golding and Animal Farm, by George Orwell exhibit two different societies that both result in failure due to a desire for power and the regulations and rules that are established. Lord of the Flies is a novel that takes place during a nuclear war. It depicts the story
Killing innocent animals due to overpopulation, crowded shelters, or old age is unreasonable. Just in the United States around 6.5 million companions are euthanized each year. The estimated amount of dogs that are put down each year is 3.3 million, and the amount of cats euthanized is around 3.2 million. The majority of euthanasias take place in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, and North Carolina. Some of the largest animal shelter in the United States, such as Dallas Animal Services, San Antonio
Should we be testing on animals? This topic is important because there is a lot of debate around it. Some people say it's cruel and inhumane, and that animals have rights too. On the other hand, there are people who say it has a positive outcome because we have discovered new ways to cure fatal diseases and improve our medicines. Currently, people still use animals for medical and cosmetics testing. About 26 million animals are used for testing each year. Animal testing has been going on since about
Should animals continue to be treated as property? In the law they don’t, but I think they should. Animals are beings with emotions; therefore, they should be respected. Animals should not be used in the circus because the animals in this are being incarcerated. They are being forced to do unnatural things so they can avoid the animal abuse used in training. Trophy hunting should stay legal for the simple fact that this is how must wildlife conservations are funded. It’s easy for us to criticize
what happens to animals every day from cosmetic companies who test their products on animals. According to Cruelty Free Kitty (2017), over 30 cosmetic companies continue to use animal testing to improve their products. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (2017), “the agency has consistently advised cosmetic manufactures to employ whatever testing is appropriate and effective for substantiating the safety of their products.” This means that if the company believes animal testing is the
Evolution of Animal Cruelty Anthony Douglas Williams once said, “When humans act with cruelty we characterize them as ‘animals’, yet the only animal that displays cruelty is humanity.” Animal Cruelty has been a significant issue since early documentation of abuse in the 12th century. However, even though animal cruelty has been an issue for a long time the laws that govern the mistreatment of animals have only been around for a short period of time. There are numerous types of cruelty ranging
Millions of animal every year are killed by testing, shooting, and eating them. They are tested on and when killed they just throw them away like trash. When they are being tested on, they suffer, and I just can’t imagine what they go through. They have to leave their homes, family, and friends. I wanted to research this because I love animals and want to help them. I believe they shouldn’t be tested on or killed just for fun, when they are tested on they test products like makeup and medicine
