Should animals be used for research? Today there are many controversial arguments on whether or not animal testing should be banned. Every day‚ so many lives are saved by medicine‚ such as antibiotics‚ vaccines‚ etc. However‚ it has all come at the cost to so many innocent animals which suffer. I believe it is morally reckless to make torturous procedures on animals just so mankind can maybe have less pain. They are part of this world just like us humans. Most of the times‚ these experiments fail

In turn I will evaluate the more contemporary arguments of Peter Singer put forward mainly in his book Animal Liberation.’ The concept of animal sanctity branches as far back as one can imagine. In ancient times animals were considered to have intelligence and even a language all of their own. This was an early view on animals stemming from pre-agrarian living which

I share Rifkin’s concern with how we treat animals; however‚ the article‚ “A Change of Heart about Animals” does not provide enough concrete evidence to make the claim that animals are all of a sudden more like us than we imagined. Just because a crow can make a hook or an orangutan can groom itself in front of a mirror animals does not mean that animals are more like us than we imagined. Clearly‚ in order to persuade us that we need to treat animals better because they are so alike us‚ more evidence

Facts and proven statements are what makes you decide on the one if more accurate then just having a person say what they think.

“Animals are not ours to eat‚ wear‚ experiment on‚ use for entertainment‚ or abuse in any other ways.” (Peta) The topic I chose to protest for is animal abuse. Not just any animal abuse but circus animal abuse. Animals are fun and to see them do things animals don’t really do. The thing you don’t see is how these circus animals are treated just to do the things you do see. These animals go through a lot believe it or not. Animals get parted from their family. They have no free wild time. They spend

concentrated (confined) animal feeding operations. A concentrated animal feeding operation is defined as a factory farm that raises large amounts of animals in containment‚ and all must meet requirements and be registered. Classifying as a registered CAFO requires that the operation meet certain requirements‚ such as a number of confined animals‚ for example‚ at least 2‚500 swine‚ 1‚000 head of cattle‚ 125‚000 chickens or 10‚000 sheep or lambs (Edelson‚ Mat).

comes to animals and their rights‚ there is a definite line between our needs and our taking advantage of those species that we consider inferior. As long as man has existed he has been carnivorous‚ and the same holds true for many other species of animals. Animals are a necessity to humans for survival‚ whether it be for food‚ clothing‚ etc. However‚ the unnecessary torture of animals through testing is not a necessity for human survival.

If I was to ask them a series of questions on animal ethics there answers would be completely different. Why do animals matter? According to Ethics and animals published by Lori Geurin
