The animals are used in experiment without anesthesia is at 2.94 million. Among the experiment, 58% were carried out for fundamental research, 26% for human medicine and 8% for veterinary purposes.
The good news is that an increasing number of companies are turning to humane alternatives. An author named Melissa Cronin stated that, New Zealand isn’t the first country to turn stop cosmetic testing on animal, in fact, in 2009, 28 countries of the European Union outlawed this practice. Other than that, countries like Israel, India and Sao Paulo as Brazil state have bans animal testing as well. Now, the number of countries that practicing the legislative bans on cosmetic testing on animal is increasing, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Taiwan and United States are all taking into

We usually see the particular tragedy from newspapers or social sites. 6 million animals which include dogs and cats were abandoned by the citizen from U.S. throughout the year. Alanna Ramsier listed out the reasons behind people abandoning their animals. One of the reasons is “I had to move.” There are a lot of procedures when you move to a new house, other than furniture you need to move, including your children and valuable belongings and also remember that animal is a family member as well when you adopted him or her. And as the Disney character Lilo says, “Family means nobody gets left behind.” Another reason is, “She’s expensive.” Think wisely before adopting a pet because animal and human are living creatures that needs food, water, shelter and medical care. There are certain costs we need to spend on them. “Caring for her takes too much time and effort.” Is also another reasons. Be responsible to your pet. Don’t adopt one if you are not ready to treat animal as a lifelong commitment companion.
Adopting an animal is not similar as purchasing a dress, when it first caught your eyes you buy and wear it and when you get bored you will keep in the closet or throw it away. Taking good care of a pet reflects a person’s responsibility, loving and caring to living creatures. Having an animal as a life companion brings joy to your life, and you should return the
Dogs are irreplaceable they have a special place in your heart that is reserved just for them, having a dog is such a good experience it teaches you compassion, and love which everyone
Many people consider pets a part of their family, and you can play an important part in extending the years of those relationships. 12However, there are many animals in need of a family and you could help provide care for those rescued animals until they are adopted. With this job, you can even help farmers and ranchers with their large animals. Farms and ranches depend on these large animals like horses and cows to earn a living. You can play an important role in helping these farms and ranches to continue operating at their
Hi Naphetta, Just like you, I am really like animals as well. Before I came to the U.S, I had 4 dogs and 2 cats, and I’m really enjoy the time with them. However, when I came to the U.S six years ago, I stop to think about to adopt a dog because I think it is really difficult to take care of a dog or a cat in the U.S (My apartment office didn’t allow me to have one). Also, I’m so afraid if the pet die because it’s so sad and hurt for a long time. Like my uncle, three years ago, his cat died after five years live with him.
These amazing creatures wants to live like we do, they want to live a normal life. Therefore, some of them may not experience how to live a proper life. I want to focus on how big adoption plays the role. Because from adoption, you will have a buddy for life, and there are so many good things you can take unlike buying them from a breeder or a pet store. Many factors can affect our choice between adopt or buy, such as knowledge, prestige, and trust issue.
Purpose: To inform the audience about animal testing I. Introduction A. Attention getting device: Approximately 26 million animals are used every year in US laboratories for cosmetic and biomedical research. B. Thesis: I would like to inform you about how animal testing is conducted. C. Credibility: I have read and studied the articles about animal testing. D. Preview: I am going to share with you purposes of animal testing, how animals are used in laboratory tests, and the effectiveness of animal testing.
Firstly, any new animals dropped off in the shelter system can skip the entire stressful process of shelter life and go right to you. Secondly, taking in that animal that needs an extra boost to understand what it is like to be in a loving home environment, something that they may not have been able to receive in the shelter, may turn an “unadoptable” pet around. Animals who have been shown this kind of love and appreciation after their hardships, I believe can make the best pets around. I have personally fostered a kitten named Twizzler and it was such a rewarding experience to both myself and to her since she is now adopted. Additionally, I got to become more involved with the community as I am now an official member of Conrad’s Strays and have even been invited to multiple fundraiser events and adoption fairs to help more animals in need.
In return, pets need people to provide food and shelter and care for their health. Pets are tame animals kept for companionship or because they are attractive to look at. Humans first tamed animals for their milk or meat somewhere about eleven thousand years ago. But people have started keeping pets only since about 2000 B.C. At that time the Ancient Egyptians tamed hyenas, cats, and even lions for company.
Adopting an animal from the shelter has many benefits for not only you but also for animals. INTRODUCTION I. (Attention) Approximately 8 million animals enter shelters every year. And, roughly 2.6 million dogs and cats are killed in U.S. shelters annually. ("Statistics", n.d.) II. (Reveal Topic) Just hearing those statistics is alarming to me, this is why I feel everyone should consider adopting not shopping for pets.
Review of Main Points: You will save money while still obtaining a new companion who has probably never ever known how it feels to have a home and to be loved. Also, by adopting from the Humane Society or animal shelter, you are not supporting the puppy mill industry or other cruel facilities in any way. Reaffirm Central Idea: Without the money that those facilities make from the sales of their animals, they will have no further choice but to stop their practices. The overpopulation of strays on our streets can easily be reduced if you choose the best option!
All these good and bad reasons why you should adopt rather than buy could change your mind. Some of these include giving a dog a better life, saves a dog, it’s cheaper, etc. Some people may say, that adopting a dog isn’t the right choice because when buying a puppy, you can teach it from the start rather than starting a new life with a dog that’s lived half their life. Although, some dogs at the shelters are still young enough for their new owner to teach them new tricks and for them to remember them for a long time. All these dogs are being abandoned and to make it more worst is that another dog has to die in order for them to get into a shelter.

Owning a dog can actually have a special impact in our lives. Firstly, my dogs have changed my life in a couple of ways because at first, I didn’t care about them, all I had in mind was
Animal Experimentation: Is it Beneficial? Animal testing, otherwise known as vivisection has been around prior to the 19th century, in fact, in 1973 there was already a total of over 1,500,000 animals being experimented on. Britain was the first to stand up against animal testing, stating that it was cruel in 1876 with the Cruelty to Animals Act. America on the opposing hand, launched an animal testing boom in the first quarter of the twentieth century when cosmetic animal testing began when totals reached over 1,300,000 animals tested. The animal testing controversy has been a big one, it is no way beneficial to society nor is it humane for animals.
It is true that animal testing requires a lot of investment. Not only that money is spent on advanced technologies, it is also spent to pay for scientists’ expertise on this particular field. In order for the scientists to do their research, they need suitable equipment and substances. Every year, the National institutes of Health finances between $12 billion to $14.5 billion on animal testing as indicated in a study done by the government (Bastach, 2013). Besides, scientists need to consider the fact that animals need to be sheltered, fed and cared for to keep them alive.
During her childhood, my mother had pets that varied from the typical dog and cat to ferrets, rabbits, frogs, and birds. She was the type of child that would find an animal on the street or in the woods, and bring it back home to keep as a pet, and her parents, my grandparents, even encouraged her to do so. I had the same behavior when I was a child; I, too, had frogs, dogs,
