Animal Testing In the 1880’s, Louis Pasteur conducted one of the most unpleasant series of animal experiments in the history of the fight against infectious disease. Unable to see the organism that causes rabies with the microscopes available, he convinced a skeptical medical community of the microorganism’s existence and also the possibility of vaccinating against it. He did this by doing work on rabbits and dogs. In 1885, after much heart searching, he tried out his rabies vaccine on a

animal rights activists have used tactics of intimidation and terrorism, for example: April 26,1997, activists were arrested when they tried to force their way into Yerkes Regional Primate center during a protest. July 21,1997, The Animal Liberation Front (ALF) set fire to Cavel West, a horse rendering plan. July 5,1998, The ALF broke into a laboratory at Cornell

“What’s that?” you wonder as you look out your window. A small group of people is gathered on the sidewalk at the end of the wisteria gardens in front of the main headquarters of Procter & Gamble. If you squint, you can see they’re holding signs, but the only text you can make out is the word “PETA” in big letters across the bottom. “Just great,” you think to yourself. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the animal-rights group more commonly know by the acronym PETA, raises more than

Imagine looking into the eyes of an animal that is used for scientific and commercial testing. What would you see? Sadness, fear, maybe pleading looks that grasp at the soul. These are the animals used for live testing. Some animals are even killed in order to do scientific testing. This paper takes a look at animal testing and how to stop it. It is shocking that “An estimated 26 million animals are used every year in the United States for scientific and commercial testing,” explains procon.org.

Animal testing is the experiment of animals like mice, dogs, rats, fish, birds, and many non-human creatures for the effective production of vaccines, drugs, and chemicals. It is estimated that more than one hundred million of animals are used for the experiments each year globally. Countries like U.S.A., U.K., Japan, China, Canada and so on are on the top list in using animals for the experimental purposes. They are being used to make sure that the vaccines and drugs manufactured are safe and defend

examples. However, their activism points to a greater issue. In If a Tree Falls, we are introduced to the story of Daniel McGowan—a member of the Earth Liberation Front. Daniel started out as a regular guy growing up, but became radicalized through the Wetlands Environmental Center. During this time, he became involved in the Earth Liberation Front and had gained the alias “the Disgruntled One” because of his attitude. As he continued to change and advance in the environmental movement, he became

One of the most pressing debates in our world today is the act of using animals for experiments in scientific labs. These scientists use cruel and unusual methods to get results needed by companies for them to sell their products as “safe” to humans. Often the results that are derived from these tests are not even applicable to humans due to our different DNA and human characteristics. For years, there has been a controversy surrounding the issue of whether it is ethical to test on animals. Groups

It's Friday and you are ready for a night out with your friends, applying cosmetics like makeup, hair styling products, cologne or perfume. After a great night out partying, the next day you find yourself with a splitting headache so you take an Advil. However, do you realize that what we consume are available at the sacrifice of animals? Do you know as of right now, rats, rabbits, dogs, cats, monkeys, and more are being experimented on in the name of science and human advancement? Animal experimentation

Animal Research Is Invalid Experimentation of animals has animal rights advocates and some scientists questioning the effectiveness and validity that animal testing has a meaningful impact on medical advancement. Dating back to the 2nd century B.C., early Greek scientists performed experiments on living animals for the purpose of advancing their knowledge and understanding of the human body. However, recent research has proven that animals rarely serve as good models for the human body (Animal Testing

The Dangers of Using Essential Oils with Cats and Dogs Sierra Somnis In many calls of life there has recently been a pull to follow a more natural, and holistic way of managing things. The animal science industry is no different. Though perhaps most common in the equine sector of production and companionship the use of ‘natural’ supplements, treatments, and management has spread to other industries as well- most notably- the small companion animal sector. Throughout this paper I will discuss the
