Animal testing is a highly controversial topic and it raises a moral dilemma about whether it is ethical to harm animals in order to improve human lives‚ with many people strongly demanding that this practice be banned. In this essay‚ I shall argue that animal testing is justified since the benefits resulting from it outweigh the harms and thus should not be banned.

Animal Rights. Should it really happen? By Joey Sullivan We eat animals‚ they help us to create medicines and vaccines and we use them to create everyday goods that we intake or use. Should animals really have the same rights as us? Some people agree that they should have the same rights as us and some people disagree. Should they really be enforced?

"Killing animals for food should be banned" Many argue that killing animals for food should be banned. They say that we humans have no right to control and produce these animals commercially. Instead‚ they say that we should only eat vegetables and fruits. On the other hand‚ it is undeniable that in order for humans to have a complete and balanced nutrition‚ one would require meat in their daily diet as it provides the required proteins for the body to function in a healthy way.

Animals should not be kept in captivity at zoos Many of us have been to a zoo at least once in our lives before. Zoos are premises for the captivity of animals‚ where they are studied and displayed for the public to see.

Do you remember leaving the zoo that day knowing a whole lot more about animals than you did before? Although

was their “service animal” and it comforted them. I believe that the law that only allows certain animals to be service animals is fair‚ because of some animals having illnesses‚ and because some animals create an unhealthy environment. One reason I believe this law is fair is because of illnesses and diseases some animals carry. For example‚ the text New Service Animal Rules by Clare Mishica states that “The changes were needed to protect people from diseases. Different animals carry certain diseases

Do you want to see animals abused and killed sometimes for nothing? Animal testing is flawed and can produce very unreliable results. Around 26 million animals are used every year for scientific and commercial testing. These animals are used to determine the toxicity and effectiveness of medications before they test it on humans. Therefore animal testing should be banned. First of all‚ research on animals is sometimes flawed because of biased scientists. According to pro-con.org “87% of the studies
