This is unethical because of the mortality rate. The majority is put to sleep or killed after they have no more use to the students. Approximately, 2.94 million animals are put to sleep or killed after the cease to be of use to the students. 1.04 million of theses animals are used for experiments for the veterinarian collages. Even though this is from all veterinarian schools over a span of a year, it is still an outrageous number. The majority were delivered to the school before being killed for unexperienced surges to operate on. it is unhuman to put that number of animals to sleep for the use of 'learning' experience. Overall it is just unethical. …show more content…
My claim is that the use of animals in veterinarian schools are unethical but my data supports this.
My date provides the number of animals that are experimented on in the school and how many are put to death. This is unethical because it is showing a high mortality rate. As I stated earlier, the mortality rate is about 2.98 million. Even if the schools did not have proper supplies to actually heal or fix an animal, the rate should not be that high over a one year span. Which leads me to believe that thee reason the animals are dying is not just from lack of
materials.
Despite my reasonable argument there are still many counter claims that could be held. Like, 'Well they are student's, of course they wont be experienced." Yes but they should have at least one experienced person in each group of students. The reason I don't believe there is a resonponsialble adult during each procedure or experiment is because college classes can have from 40 students to over 60. One professor isn't able to look over everyone shoulder as they conduct thee procedures. In addition to this argument there is still thee argument that the animals may arrive sick and can not be saved. However, as I previously stated, thee number of 3.94 million is to high to be made up of only sick and dying animals. There is no way that all of those animals are sick.
This is why it is evident that my claim of this business being unethical is true. I have explaned why the mortality rate matters in this situation. The reader aso realizes the students being unexperienced is a problem if they are unsupervised. We have also discussed how it is unhuman to kill this amount of animals. I believe that we should let the schools experiment and preform surgery on sick animals so that they can be useful instead of putting healthy animals to sleep for dissection. That is what our solution should be.
