There is a debate on whether or not scientists should test human products on animals. Not only does the testing on these animals do more harm than good, but also humans and animals are not physically and genetically the same. Testing human products on animals should not be allowed. Testing on animals can cause harmful side effects. Some tests are known for “immobilizing rabbits in full-body restraints while a substance is dripped into their eyes or smeared onto their shaved skin” (Product Testing:
Product scientists have a disregard for the nature of testing animals. Products should not be tested on animals because animals are not the same as humans, and the tests are cruel and inhumane with unreliable test results. Product scientists commonly take action of ill nature in testing animals. According to the Humane Society International, animals are forced fed, permitted little water and food, given major burns to study healing, and die through decapitation, dioxide asphyxiation, and neck breaking
that polar bears, birds, and bees are specific animals that deem worthy of protection. Mooallem provides many examples of people who give reasoning as to why we should help preserve these animals. Mooallem uses these specific people’s backgrounds to show the difference of opinions between someone who has knowledge of the animal, versus someone that only adores the animal because of the animals looks. For instance, bears have evolved from scary animals that humans feared,
Reality of Animal Testing Many animals each year are killed due to cosmetic and drug testing, biology lessons, and plain experiments driven by curiosity. Many are placed in horrible conditions, inhale deadly toxins, and have their lives cut short. Many are separated from their families to participate in experiments that in fact do not lead to medical advances. Many individuals are unaware of other alternatives. Many of you might disagree with me today, but I am here to present why animal testing is
heard about animals been killed because some of their body parts are so expensive that one might get richer. Recently, PETA organization has also reported, “Most leather produced and sold in the U.S. is made from the skins of cattle and calves, but leather is also made from sheep, lambs, goats, and pigs.” (PETA) I loved animals always. This kind of reports always made me disappointed. I’ve always had that question in my mind, can an object that is discretionary be more valuable than an animal life? These
the animals at a shelter that do not get the chance to be adopted? In some cases they may stay there or move shelters. In other cases, they are given to research facilities to be used as testing animals, which is wrong. Some shelters will even charge the research facilities to get the animals for testing. Animals should not be used for research due to the fact that their lives are being taken away, there are large economic effects and the animals are typically innocent. With this, the Animal Welfare
Right as I entered the gates of the animal kingdom, the sight of colorful birds, the sound of children’s laughter and the smell of the earthly animals intensified my excitement even more. Seeing elephants, tigers and many more wild animals in person had made my overall experience unforgettable. But as we begin to unravel the hidden truth about zoos, we begin to ask ourselves if it is ethical to continue to support places like zoos in keeping innocent animals in captivity. The ongoing controversy
so many great animals that are in shelters that need love and affection but everyone wants an animal that is a baby and a certain breed. Every animal deserves a second chance. If you were to adopt an animal, you would be changing an animals life. Shelters have a kill list to where the animal will get euthanized in a period of time. Animals may be euthanized because they are old or even if the shelter think they look unadoptable. Along with animals looking unadoptable or old, if animals were once adopted
people use animals for drug testing? People use animals for experiments for centuries. The first references of using animals in scientific purpose appeared in the works of the Greek philosopher and scientist Aristotle in the fourth century BC and he “was the first to have made dissections which revealed internal differences among animals” (Laboratory Primate Advocacy Group). The Greek anatomist and royal physician Erisistratus was the first who started with experiments with living animals (Laboratory
"The Lowest Animal" there are few similarities between man and animal, but many differences. Twain also sends the message that animals are far superior to humans, through various experiments. The main differences noted are related to cruelty, indecency, and fighting, all of which put man below animals. First, cruelty is described as a trait that only man has, not animals. Animals will kill, only for what they need to survive, whereas man will kill for sport and enjoyment. Unlike animals, man kills
Animal overpopulation of companion animals has been a huge issue in the US for a long time. I didn’t realize how big of an issue this was until about age 11 when I noticed how bad they get treated when they are not taken care of. I am so excited to tell people how they can solve this problem. I have helped with this issue in many ways. I have 2 kittens that we saved on the highway, a momma kitty who had her 2 babies under our house, 1 cat that was roaming our neighborhood and 1 cat from a drive through

Cats and dogs are the basic rivals of the animal kingdom. We as people have always compared these two animals as enemies, but what happens when newly born kittens do not have a feline mother to nurse them, but instead a dog that has just had puppies of her own? The species in the Animal Kingdom works in many unusual roles and relationships in order to survive. In the first article, “Animal Roles and Relationships” it expresses that when a wolf pup is born, the whole wolf pack pitches in to help teach
or be killed out on the wild. Animals have that instinct to do whatever it takes to get food. The animals in captivity should be treated well, no harm of any kind should come to them. Domestic animals should not be praised as kings, it is they that could have the rights before lions & horses. Some animals should have rights & other should not. A reason why animals should not have a bill of rights is because it will end the medical research. We have used animals to test on since B.C.. Many diseases

They inevitably suffer from disease, pain, starvation, and fear so they will perform seamlessly for the public. The pets are forced by their owners to carry out pointless tricks and performances and are almost always deprived of their normal behavior (Aquariums and Marine Parks). Animals are ripped away from their families and out of their natural habitat by zoo, aquarium, and circus workers
The use of animals for cosmetics and medical testing was brought on by the concept of animals reacting to chemicals the same way that people do. The problem is, animals and humans have more differences than similarities. In most medical cases, animals react to and are treated for illnesses very differently. Medications causing problems like birth defects in animals can be perfectly safe for humans. There are illnesses such as types of cancer that kill humans, but are completely harmless to dogs (Greek

Humans have always used other living beings for their benefits weather its consuming them, making unnecessary cloths out them such as fur, experimenting and using them as entertainment like in the circus. The treatments these animals experience is beyond inhumane. There are many different experiments done on these animals for human safety, these tests are for cosmetic industries, medical training, testing drug or different
year several million animals die due to animal testing in for medical, psychological, and products research. Moreover, animal testing is something that shouldn’t be continued and for it is completely wrong and cruel. Animal testing started in the late 300’s BC. Aristotle and Erasistratus performed many experiments that involved living animals. Similarly, Galen, a greek physician, conducted animals research to explore the field of anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology. Animal testing is a research
