“Over 100 million animals are burned, crippled, poisoned, and abused in US labs every year.” “Also in Canada, 3.02 million animals were used in experiments in 2013 and 78,294 animals were subjected to severe pain near, at, or above the pain tolerance threshold of unanesthetized conscious animals.” Animal testing is frequently used for developing beauty products and medicines and in a lot more areas. Many people believe that the animal testing is necessary for humans. New vaccines and medicines are

Insulin has been used for diabetes since 1922. “Leonard Thompson, a 14-year-old boy dying from diabetes in a Toronto hospital, became the first person to receive an injection of insulin” (“The History of a Wonderful Thing We Call Insulin” 1). Without insulin, thousands of people with diabetes would die. Insulin is available for people who need it because it was initially tested on animals. Oskar Minkowski and Joseph von Mering removed a pancreas gland from a dog in 1889, and it ended up dying later

would you RAT-HER(rather) live? An animal or a human? I would rather a human live because a rat is just a rat or some type of animal testing is better than human testing because animals are replaceable but humans have a unique soul and plus animals are the same and they live to die and die to live. That is why I am for animal testing. There is no real connection made with animals or rats. And the things that are being tested are like pain killers and cancer cures to make sure it is safe for humans

Animal have the rights to life. But some of the ancient people have a crazy idea of dissecting pig and get to see what is inside it. But there is a question that people always ask: “Should we test a vaccine, cosmetic and stuff on animals to check it if it safe or not”.

But when you test those things to an animal, it against the animal right. But I will

Two months ago, moral panic hit the US when once obscure African lion, Cecil, met a seemingly illegal slaughter by Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer at Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park, a short distance of about 8,000 miles from Miami, Florida. Cecil, an unique and beloved lion with black mane, was illegal murdered when Palmer, a trophy hunter, reportedly paid Zimbabwean guides for the opportunity to slaughter the creature inside the park, using a carcass to lure him out (Walters, 2015). Although lions

Imagine this: You have been born about four days ago. You are just relaxing in a kennel with your siblings and mother when all of the sudden; you are picked up and brought into a giant, scary, metallic room. You feel excruciating pain in your ears, and then, your... tail. This is most likely how most breeds of dogs feel when they have their ears cropped, and their tails docked (cut off). These procedures should be banned worldwide, as they are mostly done for aesthetic purposes and pose multiple

Did you know that animal testing facilities not only test on animals, but they abuse the animals if they don't behave? The animals are abused emotionally and physically. The animals don't get any love and they get hit to top it all off. Animals should not be used for scientific resources because a lot of the tests put animals in danger, the test can grow from danger of death, and animals have rights just as you and I have rights, and give them a voice. First of all animals don't give humans any

There is no overarching solution to the koala population issue as “successful recovery is likely to require very different recovery strategies in different places.” (Rhodes, 2014) An approach adopted in New South Wales by the Environmental Decisions Group is to map koala distributions and the threats faced in this region and from this information develop sound strategies to overcome the threats. (Recovery plan for the koala, 2008) The sustainability of koalas have a large impact on environmental

A lot of philosophers consider sentience to be the key to understanding the ethical status of animals. One notable example is Jeremy Bentham, who thought that the basis of moral circumstance is whether or not an animal can suffer. The sentience that multiple animals exhibit has led us to put laws in place in order to prevent animal cruelty. There are multiple reasons why people believe that animal cruelty is a bad thing. There are those who think that witnessing or perpetuating animal cruelty can
