The topic that I am choosing to examine for my paper is about animals that are used in research and the rights they they do or do not have. The reason that I chose this particular topic is because that it is a topic that is very significant to me. I am currently going to Delaware technical Community College to become a Veterinary technician.

advocate for animal rights, and therefore part of the animal rights movement. The torture and killing of innocent non-human animals needs to be stopped; this includes animal testing for biomedical research and in science, commercial animal agriculture, and fur farming. The termination of these lives is extremely cruel. But most of all, Animals are viewed as only existing for mankind and this is major flaw.
