The testing of animals for cosmetic and medical means is wrong because it is very expensive, the products tested are often harmful or ineffective on humans and animals are often times injured very badly or even killed. The United States spends just over sixteen billion dollars every year on the animals used for cosmetic and medical testing. The money spent is a huge waste of taxpayer dollars due to the fact that most of these tests prove nothing. Animals must be fed, given water and given shelter

The black-footed ferret, the bald eagle, and the peregrine falcon have all taken a journey from the edge of extinction to a status of stability in their respective ecological communities. Some believe that this was due to the implementation of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), which was drafted and passed in 1973 in order to provide an effective replacement for two other pieces of environmental legislation . (“Endangered Species” 1). Surely such a successful piece of legislation deserves praise,

Research Paper: The American Prairie-A Known Wonder By: Avani Pammidimukkala #20 and Tanvi Prem #24 Due Date: May 26th, 2016 Introduction- When people think of the American Prairie, they think of a dull, and grassy-full biome. But, the American Prairie is an extremely fascinating biome. At first glance, this grassy biome may look really dull and boring, but if you look deeper into it and feel nature playing its daily roles in this prairie around you, then you will see how unique this biome

In the hot summer sun a hungry African lion paces back and forth in his cage. His instincts tell him to hunt, but he cannot. Instead, he restlessly eyes the doorway from which his food is brought to him. This brings a sad picture to mind, that of a wild animal held captive, unable to stalk his prey and revel in his catch when the chase is through. However, this lion’s natural African habitat is all but gone now; if he were in the wild, he might be on the edge of starvation, or more likely

have save millions of animals from dying from diseases like rabies, feline leukemia, the infectious hepatitis virus, anthrax and many other dangerous diseases. Animal testing has been vital to saving endangered species from extinction like the black-footed ferret, the California condor, and Brazilian tamarins. Koalas, infected by a spreading epidemic of sexually transmitted chlamydia and who are now classified as endangered in some parts of the world, are being tested with new chlamydia vaccines that

of appropriate host plants, which in turn vary according to local soil, moisture, temperature, and elevation (National Park Service, 2015a). 5. Black Hills 5a. Geology The Black Hills are made up of an inner igneous and metamorphic core with sedimentary rocks surrounding that core. The center of the Black Hills is made up of Precambrian rocks with granites as old as 2.5Ga and gabbros of 2.15Ga (Palmer and Palmer, 2009). The granite

Kansas Kansas has many state parks and the popular place is the monument rocks and the castle rocks. The monument rocks and the castle rocks have fossils in ancient chalks in plain western Kansas which is a spectacular landmark. The chalk was deposited during the Cretaceous period of geological history about 80 million years ago, when the central interior was covered by sea. The fossils were like shark teeth, fish bones, even dinosaur bones, and other sea creatures. The fossils in the chalk

Originally, animal testing took place by Early Greek and Roman physician-scientists, such as Aristotle, (384 – 322 BC), Erasistratus, (304 – 258 BC), and Galen (129 – 199 / 217 AD). These scientists claimed they introduced this experiment because they wanted to have a better understanding of anatomy. A few years passed, Ibn Zuhr, an Arab physician in the twelfth century, presented animal testing as an experimental method to analyze surgical procedures before applying them to human patients. This

Almost every human being has been to a zoo or an aquarium. Everyone has seen how the animals are in small cages and people enjoy watching them not even caring to take into consideration how the animal may feel. But then who cares right? It is fun to go to a zoo and an aquarium and have a family day and spend money at these institutions not caring what is really going on around them. Animals really suffer by being in a captive environment. To be captive means to be confined to only one place, I personally

Yellowstone National Park Yellowstone National Park is one of the largest and oldest national parks in American history. Yellowstone was the first park to be protected by private investment on March 1, 1872, and the first to be put under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service in 1918, no doubt due to its unique and inspiring landscape and geothermal features. In fact, Yellowstone National Park is home to half of the world’s total hydrothermal features. These awesome attractions draw
