...In their dreams, they have set goals to achieve the freedom for the ones they love. So in Old Major’s dream he believed that the animals are not having enough freedom because the humans are giving them hard work and barely have rest.he wanted to get rid of all human and be just the animals only. And he gave a speech about it and want to make this change before he die. Everyone had believed in him and believe that it the right thing to do. Then on Martin Luther King Jr. speech he want equality, justice, freedom, and no segregation. At this time period many colored people and white people were separated.

Primary Audience Outcome: I the want the audience to join or support national organizations that protest against factory farms. Thesis Statement: The U.S. government should ban factory farms and require the meat industry to raise animals in their natural environments. Attention: Close your eyes and step into the world of an individual. You are born into a world where nights and days are never constant (attention getter). You are fed three to five times a day, but no one is there to nurture you. Not even the numerous others crammed into your living space. You grow frantic, scared, and sickly. Now open your eyes, to reality. What I have just described is one of America’s worst ghettos. You know this individual who is trapped in this environment. He is your breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is the meat you eat . Today’s farms not only abuse their animals they also produce harmful diseases and environmental hazards that affect each and every one of us, regardless of whether you consume animal products or not. The U.S. government should ban factory farms and require the meat industry to raise animals in their natural environments (preview of points and statement of purpose). I.

...can not fathom is animal testing. Animal testing is one issue I wish I could solve, for many reasons. Animals deserve rights, even though they can’t speak. The ways animal testing is conducted is not humane. There are better means to test products. All these factors play a part in why I believe animal testing should come to an end. Every human being is born with the desire to have rights. Those rights can consist of speech, choice, or rights as simple as choosing your classes. When an aspect of those rights is taken away we voice our opinions. Thousands of animals are mistreated, killed, or severely injured just like people all over the world. The only difference is that they can’t voice their opinions. They can’t stand up and claim the rights they deserve. It’s our responsibility to provide help to the animals that have to suffer in laboratories....

...Animal Control Officer 3/17/2013 Introduction Animal Control Officers are members of law enforcement who are looked upon to protect not only animals from dangerous situations and cruelty but they also protect neighborhoods from strays and hazardous animals. Through my research I took a more in depth look at answering what is the typical profile associated with an Animal Control officer. In 16th century European villages “dog whippers” were charged with keeping dogs out of churches and confining town strays. The part of an Animal Control Officer has changed over the last few decades to meet the needs of rescuing animals from dangerous or abusive situations and investigating any cruelty or neglect. This is a fast rising field that has even grown in popularity, thanks to network television shows like Animal Planet. Animal control officers can hold jobs in health departments, police departments, sheriff’s departments or in parks and recreation departments. They are responsible for implementing and understanding animal rights, laws and regulations. Duties include but are not limited to: • Responding to emergency calls involving animals • Dealing with stray animals • Investigating incidents with both wild and domestic animals (such as bites) • Investigating animal cruelty cases • Dealing with animals in a shelter • Issuing fines or taking animal owners to court for acts such as those of irresponsibility or violence • Investigating dog fighting cases • Protecting...

...an interest group, with examples. The interest group that I will discuss in this paper is the one of the most well-known animal rights groups in the world; People for the ethical treatment of animals, commonly known as, PETA. Founded in March 1980 by Newkirk and fellow animal rights activist Alex Pacheco, the organization first caught the public's attention in the summer of 1981 during what became known as the Silver Spring monkeys case, a widely publicized dispute about experiments conducted on 17 macaque monkeys inside the Institute of Behavioral Research in Silver Spring, Maryland. The group first came to public attention in 1981 during the Silver Spring monkey’s case, a dispute about experiments conducted by researcher Edward Taub on 17 macaque monkeys inside the Institute of Behavioral Research in Silver Spring, Maryland. (Eldercare Home Health, 2012) The case led to the first police raid in the United States on an animal laboratory, triggered an amendment in 1985 to the United States Animal Welfare Act, and became the first animal-testing case to be appealed to the United States Supreme Court, which upheld a Louisiana State Court ruling that denied PETA's request for custody of the monkeys. Pacheco had taken a job in May 1981 inside a primate research laboratory at the Institute, intending to gain firsthand experience of working inside an animal laboratory. Taub had been cutting sensory ganglia that supplied nerves to the monkeys' fingers, hands, arms, and legs, a process...

...Animal Experiments Should Be Prohibited Ducduy Tran Solbridge International School of Business Animal experiments should be prohibited Nowadays, following the development of society, many environmental implications have also risen, such as air pollution, water pollution, and greenhouse effect…These problems cause a lot of dangerous diseases which can kill people. Scientists are trying hard to discover the treatment for these diseases. In order to achieve that, they have to use several methods, and animal experimentation is one of those. Some people think that, animal experiments give people a lot of benefits. I agree with this opinion, but I think it’s only true in the past because these days, thanks to the development of technology in medicine, animal experiments is now not necessary and should be prohibited for the following reasons. The first reason I object to animal testing is that, animal experiments are unethical. To be more specific, animals were always unconsidered and were seen as unemotional beings so people thought experiments on animal are normal and necessary. However, after doing many research, scientists proved that animals have feelings just like human beings do. From the article “Do Animals Have Emotions? Of Course They Do!” by Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals, said that emotions are the presents that our creators gave us, both animals and human have them, thus when we describe the feelings of animals we will no longer use the quotation...

...Animal testing is defined as the use of non-human animals in research and development projects, for purposes of determining the safety of substances such as foods or drugs. (Dictionary, 2013) Animal testing/research was first majorly noted during the late nineteenth when Louis Pasteur administered anthrax to sheep and showed the importance of vaccines with his germ theory. (Murnaghan, 2010) Animal testing over the years has provided us with crucial information in regards to the development of medicines and other medical research. It has helped Doctors and Scientists alike to create life-saving solutions to what were life threatening disease. Take the discovery of insulin for example, made by Dr. Fredrick Banting and Charles Best. From the studies they carried out, using dogs and cows, they managed to understand better the affliction that was and is Diabetes. They were able to use the research to isolate Insulin from the pancreases of dogs and to see its effect on other dogs with Diabetes. Without this research, the amount of people that could have died would have been unimaginable. However, these experiments took place in 1921, a time when technology was simply nothing more than a futuristic idea. So, why is it that in an age where technology and science has greatly increased, innocent animals continue to be inhumanly treated? Is it not reasonable to say that, medical research and medical technology has improved vastly over the last 100 years, yet the most prevalent way of researching...

...and iris). The subjects suffer from redness, bleeding, ulcers, and even blindness, and are likely killed upon completion of the experiment. The subjects were in fact rabbits in tests called “animal testing.” Animal testing has raised huge debates worldwide that has raised many questions. How important is animal testing for us humans? Are the results going to be the same? Most importantly, should we ban animal testing for the sake of the animals? Animal testing is a phrase that most people have heard but are perhaps still unsure of exactly what is involved. Whether it is called animal testing, animal experimentation or animal research, it refers to the experimentation carried out on animals. It is used to assess the safety and effectiveness of everything from medication to cosmetics, as well as understanding how the human body works. Animal testing, also known as animal research, plays a crucial role in scientists' understanding of diseases and in the development of effective medical treatments. Research animals provide scientists with complex living systems consisting of cells, tissues and organs. Animal models can interact and react to stimuli, giving researchers a picture of a compound moving through a living system and an idea of how those stimuli might react in a human being. Animals are biologically similar to...

...Animals deserve the right of equal consideration. There are two sets of characteristics that represent how beings are treated differently; the first way is by rationality, having the knowledge of what is right and what is wrong, and the second way is the ability to feel pain and pleasure. As Peter Singer says in his article, “the basic principle of equality, I shall argue, is equality of consideration; and equal consideration for different beings may lead to different treatment and different rights.” The important characteristic that Singer points out is the ability to feel suffering, which gives beings the right to equal consideration. What gives beings the capacity to experience pain and pleasure is the idea of sentience. So in the case that animals do feel emotions like pleasure and plain, we must give them equal consideration of our interest. To help understand Peter Singer one must be familiar with the ideas of utilitarianism. There are two moral principles when talking about utilitarianism; the first principle is equality, in which everyone is treated with the same rights, and the second principle is the best balance of satisfaction over frustration. As discussed in class, human beings have the tendency to favor the interest of human beings themselves over non-human beings. Along the same lines, human beings also have the tendency to favor the interest of higher animals over the interest of lower animals. In Singer’s eyes, since animals have the capacity of suffering, we...

...referred as a swinish or the pig’s philosophy as it endorsed on the greatest amount of pleasure for the greatest number of people. This is degrading humans viewing them as animals that focus mainly on the needs of the majority whether even if the minority is morally approved. An example of this will be abortion. Bentham’s theory will support the act of abortion. According to his theory the majority will receive pleasure through the abortion of an unborn. The pregnant women might have conceived the unborn by an accident. If the woman and her family are financially broken she will choose not to keep the child. This will lead them to take a decision to abort the unborn. This will not make the financial system better for the family however it will decrease the amount of materials they would need to spend for another person, allowing them to save some money. This will lead them to take a decision to abort the unborn child. Even though it is not acceptable to abort a child Bentham’s theory can be used to support this act. Majority will benefit from this abortion. However, utilitarianism advocates injustice as the innocent is unjustly framed. Minority is not considered although they are still humans. They have to go through pain even though they are innocent. Moreover, it ignores the importance of duty. An act maybe right or wrong for reasons other than the amount of good or evil it produces.

...How We Treat the Animals We Eat Angela M Groves DeVry University How We Treat the Animals We Eat Are the factory farms we buy our meat from treating animals humanely? Animal mistreatment is illegal and we can make a difference to put a stop to it. According to Ethical Farms “Some of the largest US factory farms refuse to uphold humane USDA and OSHA standards, having unsanitary, unhealthy conditions and animal rights violations. In 1958, the US government composed the Humane Slaughter Act that is not enforced” (Ethical Farms, 2010). There are 7 statutes in effect that comprise the Humane Slaughter Act. Included in these sections are Congress' statement that livestock must be slaughtered in a humane manner to prevent needless suffering, research methods on humane methods of slaughter, the non-applicability of these statutes to religious or ritual slaughter, and the investigation into the care of non-ambulatory livestock. There are farms that follow the Humane Slaughter Act in raising their livestock that we can purchase our food from, like Humane Farms for example. By aligning our consumerism with Restaurants and grocery store chains that purchase from humane farms we can make an impact. Also, supporting an Animal Rights group like The American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(ASPCA) or The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals(PETA) can make a big difference. You can support them either monetarily or by volunteering your time in your local area. In...
