Controversy About Animals

Hunting is something we've done since we've been on this planet. We used to do it out of necessity, but in the modern world we do it for many other reasons. As technology has increased, we have developed different methods of hunting. These methods have carried over to today, but two have prevailed: bowhunting and rifle hunting. These methods are both hunting--obviously--but they're different in almost every other sense. Bowhunting and rifle hunting are different based on the weapon used, the way you hunt, and your connection with the animal and the land around it; however, the same in the way the respective methods bring people together.

Animals have feelings just like humans. Life isn't just about hunting. ‘

For some it comes hard to express their empathy for other it is easier. Many believe that animals do not share the same feelings as we do. Many researchers have proven that wrong. Like Rifkin states in paragraph two, “They feel pain, suffer and experience stress, affection, excitement and even love.”

Issues concerning animal rights are often controversial. Various attempts at making human life more convenient interfere with the lives of animals, endangering them. Overtime these practices, such as deforestation, lab testing on animals, and poaching, can increase the risk of the animals involved becoming extinct. Several different organizations attempt to combat the risk posed to endangered animals by creating ad campaigns to raise awareness of the harsh effects losing such animals could cause. The World Wildlife Fund, for example, made the image above with the hope that people might either change their harmful ways or contribute to groups that attempt to save animals. By identifying the ways in which this image can be considered an argument

To begin, Animals do feel the same pain as any human would feel when being hurt. All animals have feelings but aren't able to expressed them the way humans express them. In the article “Hooked on a myth” published by the LA Times and written by Victoria Braithwaite reads as follows, “When a sharp object pierces the human body, specialized nerve endings called nociceptors alert us to the damage…..fish have the same two types of nociceptors that we do”(Braithwaite 1). Fishes have the same nociceptors that we do. What makes us think that the other animals do not have it? This can let us know that animals feel the pain humans do. We need to take in consideration of the animals that are not able to express what they feel like humans can and stop

Though they almost never attack humans, wolves are considered one of the animal world's most fearsome natural villains.” So, for no apparent reason, people hunt these beautiful creatures for sport and it truly disgusts me. These wolves, ancestors of man’s best friend, had to fight against extinction because of us.

Today, the discussions about the protection of the animal’s rights have received the attention of many people, many countries in the world. A lot of actions have been made by animal right activists to influence the world. Alex Epstein and Yaron Book, both authors of the “The Evil of Animal ‘Right’,” argue animal right activists use too much violence on their action, which is considered going against the law. Then, the authors give a lot of evidence to prove testing animals are extinct, but using animals for testing gives us new vaccines which make our lives better. Without animals for testing, how can scientists find out the vaccine for diseases? Animal right groups are making many effects to Huntingdon Life Sciences.

Should animals be used for entertainment? Should we continue to use animals as entertainment? This controversy was discussed in a video, “Should Wild Animals be Used As Entertainment?” an article “Jump Into It”, and one other article, “The Use of Animals in Entertainment”. While there is many differences among these sources there are also many differences too.

Abstract The moral behavior towards animal has been a subject of serious controversy and debate for many decades. The practice has aroused many different point of views that concern both, the practice of considering animals as test subjects, and the fact that many animal advocates are considering it as an immoral and unethical behavior towards animals. The truth is, animal testing has been around for thousands of years and it is more than likely to stay with us for a quiet long time to come. This is because of the major advancement in technology and science allowed many scientists to achieve groundbreaking and innovative results with animal testing.

Animal rights is the philosophy or idea that all animals should be able to live a life free from human exploitation pain and suffering. According to Gale ” The idea of animal rights has roots in ancient times. In Greek philosophy, the animists believed that both animals and people had souls. The vitalists believed that humans were animals but at the top of the chain and could use animals for their benefit.” ( Animals Rights, par.2). In the early twentieth century in the United States, there was no law that regards to animal experimentation. In 1937 there was a pharmaceutical company that developed medicine called Elixir Sulfanilamide. When the medicine was released the company was unaware that the substance was harmful because the drug

No doubt that Animals go through the same pain and suffer like humans, at the same time do not get the same treatment. I think killing and murdering animals is morally wrong. Therefore, we should assess the animal feelings before hunting them for food. For instance, hunting a deer that delivered a newborn, and leaving the young alone

Seems rhetorical, but the fact is animals live through this everyday, without even given the choice. As humans, we establish our authority among all living beings, but for what reasons? Are humans better than all other species? Or is it true that we should hold a precedence over nonhuman animals? The ultimate question then remains, should animals have as much or equal to the same rights as humans? Their are endless arguments for and against this question, and many sub arguments that go hand in hand with each side. In this paper, I will discuss the definition of what animal rights entails and expand on the history that developed it’s meaning. Furthermore, I will thoroughly discuss, reason, and explain each opinion presented by our current society as well as the positions held by previous philosophers. Lastly, I will draw a conclusion to the opinions presented by discussing my personal position on the argument of animal rights.

“Never be afraid to do what’s right, especially if the well-being of a person or ANIMAL is at stake.” - Martin Luther King Jr. The animal welfare act is to regulate the use and care of animals in a laboratory setting. Animal rights is the right believed to belong to animals to live free from use in medical research, hunting, and other services to humans. The first animal protection group was called ASPCA or the Animal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals founded by Henry Bergh in April 1866 (“11 facts about animal”). Animals shouldn’t be used in medical research because the animals aren’t protected by the Animal Welfare Act, and there are alternatives for testing products that don’t involve animals, despite the fact that some of these tests led to medical breakthroughs (“should animals be used”).

Is it ethical for animals to have the same rights as humans? During this paper I will present the views of both sides. I will try my best to give the reader a chance to come to there own unbiased conclusion. I will talk about the key areas of animal ethics. I will present the facts and reasoning behind the arguments over Animal cruelty, testing, hunting, and improper housing. My conclusion will hopefully bring us closer to answering many of the question surrounding “Animal Rights and Ethics”.

When it comes to the topic of animal testing most of us will readily agree that it is a debatable topic. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of should medical treatments be developed through the use of testing on animals. Whereas some are convinced that treatments are effective and successfully developed, others maintain that animals are different from human beings such as our genetic traits. My own view is animal testing has helped improve humans health and also has given great advances to science.
