...products on animals. It endangers animals and reduces the number count of that species, it is wasteful, unneeded, and most of all, it's immensely unethical. The animals are used for testing because often a product has a chemical or chemical mixture with unknown effects on a human, and they don't want to have a risk of being sued. They believe that an animal's life is less valuable than that of a human's. Like mentioned earlier, this method of testing products can endanger animals, but also dramatically decreases the number count of that breed. Some products are even tested upon endangered animals (illegal and extremely uncommon), leaving even less of that kind of animal. Even if certain animals live trough the traumatizing experience, they usually (almost always) live with an irregularity or abnormality, which gives them a rather unfair disadvantage in their natural habitat. Be it physically, mentally, or anything else, it is still unfair and shouldn't be...

...The assignment I chose was an argumentative essay about animal testing. I had to choose a topic and write a essay about wether I agree or disagree on it. On this assignment, I learned how to write an argument with facts and not using my opinion. In order to get a good grade on this assignment we had to turn it in by the due date, have at least five competed paragraphs, two claims that supported our ideas, and one claim that was against our idea. I did the assignment in class and my teacher helped too. I researched all my information, then I organized everything I wrote down on paper. It was really hard at first to find information about animal testing, but then I could summarize what they said and put it into words I understood. I chose...

...Animal Farm Essay Power can make anything change drastically. That’s the way it happened in the essay Animal Farm, which is by George Orwell. In the essay, the animals of Animal Farm had a system of thought called Animalism, and the pigs betrayed it. The relationship of the pigs and the other animals change throughout the essay. In the beginning of the essay, the pigs helped and supported the other animals. For example, the pigs got all the other animals into the idea of rebellion after Old Major dies. This represents that the pigs care about the other animals because if they succeed, they will have a better life. It also shows how the other animals are someone the pigs can trust. Another example is that the pigs taught the other animals how to read and write. This represents that the pigs are helping them become smarter. It symbolizes that the pigs want them to be the best then can. As you can see, the pigs helped and assisted the other animals in the beginning. In the middle of the essay, the pigs started to take advantage and not support the animals. For instance, the pigs didn’t help the other animals when they were executed by Napoleon, and instead believed him. It demonstrates that they don’t know the animals well enough to see that they wouldn’t betray other animals or Animal Farm. It also displays their betrayal; they ignored the 6th Commandment: No animals shall kill any other animal. Another example is that the barley the other animals grew was reserved for the...

...Through a lack of education, the animals became unable to detect the slow progressing power Napoleon was establishing over them. Boxer is the most nieve of them all. He admired Napoleon, who was educated, and appeared so knowledgeable and practical. He worked excessively hard and always quoted “I will work harder” (77). Boxer was extremely uneducated, and although he tried “[he] could not go past the letter D” (23). Through this lack of education Boxer believed what he was told, for he was unable to know anything else. He also admired those of a higher education like the pigs and longed to be like them. For this reason, Boxer was unable to detect the power Napoleon was slowly establishing over the Animal Farm. Many people of the American society are also uneducated and become nieve to their surroundings, similar to the actions of Boxer. Often the immigrants that come to America are very uneducated in the American language. Through this lack of education they are very vulnerable and often believe everything that they are told because they have not learned otherwise. They look up to the educated people of society who have become so successful, and long to be like them. For this reason, they often do everything they are told in hopes of becoming successful and educated in their life. Yet, due to their lack of education, they are often taken advantage of in their work through unjust salaries and work hours. Boxer displays this same pattern of being taken advantage of with Napoleon...

...Animal testing has been a major issue throughout the years in the U.S. that is being dealt with today. Animals are being used for experiments in order to test any products or chemicals before humans. Animal experimentation is where scientific researchers use animals for biomedical testing and analyze them for research to enhance human health and the welfare of other animals. Many animals are now suffering and in pain resulting into the death of animals from the experiments. Laura Waters who is an academic scientist, researching pharmaceutical formulations, analytical techniques and the development of alternatives to animal testing would say that in ancient times, scientists have used living animals for experiments in order to see their differences...

...Animal testing has been around since the 4th and 3rd centuries BCE from the writings of the Greek. They are used for research to develop the understanding of science, to establish more solutions to medical problems, and mainly the protection of people, animals and the environment. Animals are important for research because it allows the scientist to learn more information about human biology and health. With the information gathered, scientist can then develop new medicines. Animal testing is vital to the continued development of human medicine. In addition, animal testing uses many different species for procedures for research about human biology, diseases and to determine how effective new medicinal products. This subject has always been a heated debate because of the use of animals for scientific research. Both sides of this debate have valid points in their argument. Some points are based on facts, whereas some might be based on opinion. Everyone has something different to say and have...

...Casey has always been a bit of an animal nut and if she joins PETA in the future, it would not be much of a surprise. However, she is often taking medications and using beauty products just like every other girl. She has recently been trying to change the meds and beauty products she uses or stops using them altogether because of her concerns with animal testing. The benefits of the medications were very obvious as well as with the beauty products to an extent but that didn’t matter to her. Casey said that “I can’t take something that has been cruelly tested on countless animals just so I can make myself feel a little better.” The results of not taking the prescribed medications were almost immediately apparent with Casey being all but bed-ridden yet still refusing to take the “tainted meds” as she called them. There are a lot of people who feel the same way that Casey does about animal testing. The core of the issue is pure ethics and what people believe to be right and wrong....

...wasn’t tested on animals. Animal testing is needed to help prevent deaths like this from occurring. Medicines that were not tested on animals have caused human lives to be damaged or lost. For example, in the article “Animal Testing: Lifesaving Research Vs. Animal Welfare” Lois Sepahban states,“...doctors prescribed thalidomide to people to treat colds, headaches, and nausea during pregnancy. More than 10,000 children whose pregnant mothers took it for nausea were born with birth defects, including missing arms and legs. Thalidomide had not been tested on pregnant animals first.”. This is significant because, those ten thousand children could have been born as normal human beings. But, thalidomide wasn’t tested on animals so, any side effects were unknown. That untaken action caused innocent newborns to live broken and distorted lives. Therefore, testing on animals could’ve saved thousands of children....

...our main safety tests for new products and chemicals is on animals. Is this too crucial to human health and development to stop, or could we make a change? For years, animals have been used for product testing to be sure that the products are safe for humans, but this can cause deadly reactions on the animals. Since only five percent of animals are protected by the AWA (Animal Welfare Act), many animals are not safe in these labs. As an effect of the testing, many animals become blind, infected, sick, and in some cases, dead.A prime example is rabbits;they have hazardous chemicals rubbed into their eyes to test eye safety for humans. Other animals have products rubbed into shaved skin and are force-fed unhealthy chemicals. But it’s too important to human safety and development to stop the testing, right? We continue to test animals because the data from the tests help us make fewer mistakes in medicine. Because of this, we can make human use safer. Only few tests are irrelevant, but most tests are designed to give us the most accurate information. Chimpanzee’s DNA is 99% similar to humans, making the tests very accurate. Mice...

...Advance Public Policies to Protect Animals from Cruelty and Abuse of Cosmetic Testing Abstract Animals play a major role in the lives of humans and should be protected from cruelty and abuse. Each year animals are used for experiments in testing cosmetic products. The problem with the testing is it has several dangers for the animals as it can result in death. As new technology for cosmetic testing has been created, it is apparent that these alternatives are put in place and there is an end to animal testing. Background • Whereas animals in the U.S. continue to suffer in experiments to test cosmetics like lipstick, deodorant, and shampoo; • Whereas there are several tests that are performed on mice, rats, rabbits, and guinea pigs for cosmetic purposes, and the harm to these animals can...

...dangerous or exotic animals as pets these animals are not fit to be held in proper “domestic areas”; they are also classified by many sources as a threat to Public Safety as well as being “dangerous” as stated by the prompt. These animals are also grossly “expensive”, time-consuming, and carry large responsibilities. We cannot allow these pets to be introduced to our society, for the good of the pets, and the welfare of our nation. Furthermore we cannot allow these dangerous exotic pets into our society because of the notion that they are dangerous. The article “Do You Really Want a Baby Tiger?” states that When these exotic animals grow up, that “an adult animal is also likely to be aggressive and have more difficult behaviors then a baby tiger.” This article also states, that quote they are wild animals with wild animal instincts, even when born in captivity.” We cannot have American cities and suburbs teaming with wild animals. These exotic and dangerous animals...

...Discussion of the merits of Animal Farm as book and film respectively Animal Farm, written by George Orwell, is a story about how animals take over a farm. The farm and the animals are symbols that are used to represent the Russian Revolution. The story of Animal Farm is based on the Russian Revolution. If you make a comparison between the movie Animal Farm and the book Animal Farm there are numerous reasons that made it similar and different. This Animal Farm movie features some significant departures from Orwell's story. It may be the best film adaptation of the novel to date, but it's far from perfect. No film adaptation of a written work is hardly ever perfect, but one could expect this one to be fairly accurate because Animal Farm is a rather short book, after all. For the most part, I feel like this movie does a great job capturing the essence of Orwell’s work, but there are some significant departures that one should be aware of. One thing that I believe can make a book good is the characters. There were many more animals on the farm, in the book. The movie did not show many animals except for the main animals. Even though this is a small difference, I find it very noticeable. In the book, Mollie was a character. When she betrayed the animals by being with a human it gave you a feeling that there were more animals that could be traitors. Rather than the animals talking, as in the book, a narrator generally tells the story in the movie. The animals only have very few sound...

...ACT IVITY 1 a) Animal abuse does not only hurt the animals; it affects the entire community as well. Animal abuse usually goes hand in hand with domestic violence; In an abusive home the pet will often be used by the abuser as ways to manipulate and take advantage of the victim’s concern by threatening to harm the animal to stop the victim from reporting the incidence. By hurting the animals, an abuser is sending the message that a human victim could be next. Many people who are involved in violence (serial killings) have a history from their childhood of participating in animal abuse; the animal abuser usually grows up to be violent and turn to killing not just animals but people too, thus increasing the crime levels and making the community...

...Negative: Is Animal Testing Necessary For Medical Research? Conducting medical research on animals is not necessary in advancing medical technologies. It is argued that animal testing is absolutely essential for medical research, and that it provides us with many medical benefits. There have been many medical breakthroughs that have been discovered through animal testing. Some of these include, blood transfusions, insulin, anesthetics and many other lie saving discoveries (Ten). Although, it may be true that animal testing has provided many medical benefits, this does not make it essential for medical research. Animal testing is entirely inefficient and animals are not suitable models for the human body. Helen Marston, Chief Executive Officer of Humane Research Australia Inc., explains nine out of ten drugs that are proven successful in animals fail once they make it to human trials (Marston 2). The discoveries that have been made do not...
