humans and the fate of animals have no advantage over the animals; for all is vanity. All go to one is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and human place; all are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.’ Animals share equal rights with human, living on the same planet and having the same destiny. Human who usually thought to be more privileged and supreme take controls over other living things and even violates living rights of animals. With the more advanced
Ethics of Animal Testing An animal’s life in a laboratory is a cold, unhappy and unhealthy way of living. So, lucky for Libby she was rescued just in time. Libby is a small dog that spent many of her years in an animal testing laboratory. She was kept in very unhealthy and filthy conditions. Although Libby was not an old dog when she was rescued, she had severe tooth decay and was terribly emaciated. Her body was desperately trying to fend of the parasitic hookworms and tapeworms that lived
Ban Animal Testing Dr. Richard Klausner, a former director of the National Cancer Institute, once said, “The history of cancer research has been a history of curing cancer in the mouse. We have cured mice of cancer for decades and it simply didn’t work in humans” (Cimons M.). In this statement, Klausner is pointing out a serious flaw in animal testing by stating curing cancer in mice has been done but yet humans still have to face cancer. Mice are not the only animals being used to find cures in
this to animals, animals feel pain the same ways humans do? Animals feel like they're being abducted by another life form, and being experimented on. Animals feel pain like humans do physically, and mentally. But, it's fine it's not humans being taken from their families and injected with harmful chemicals. I wonder if that's how the aliens will think. Animal experimentation is one of the ethical issues of our time, and large-scale experimentation
Killing Animals In the present, the world has changed in many sides. One of changing is numbers of killing animals are increasing continuous. Many people think what are reasons for this acting? These acting are a bad behavior and cruelty. The important thing is human who killed those animals. There are many positive aspects about killing animal but there are also some negative aspects.

Animal testing is a methodology implemented to identify the effectiveness of a drug on any animal before issuing it to humans. Animal testing was commonly practiced from the age of Greeks themselves. Some historical figureheads who made use of animal testing are Aristotle, Erasistratus and Galen (Hajar,R., 2011). Without animal testing there can be severe consequences, for example, in 1937 a pharmaceutical establishment in the USA manufactured a medicine. The manufacturer did not know that one of
ANIMAL RIGHTS VERSUS MEDICAL RESEARCH Animal experimentation is the use of animals in scientific research and animal rights is the idea that some, or all, non-human animals are entitled to the possession of their own lives should be afforded the same consideration as similar interests of human beings. The 'modern' era of animal research started about 150 years ago with the rise of physiology as a science. Every year in the world, millions of animals are used in testing for medical research. Animal
Millions of animals are used in experimental researches and laboratories each year. Thousands of millions of dollars are spent yearly on such experiments that mostly fail on humans, which makes it a huge waste of money and a waste of animal lives. Some researchers claim that humane animal research does not exist and is not possible to achieve but the truth is that there are in fact new non animal research methods that are a lot cheaper and are definitely more effective and accurate. If these methods
being an animal lover, moreover, I am interested in the ethics of product testing on animals. What I discovered was both shocking and cruel. I believe my chosen example is effective for sparking resistance to commercial culture as seeing ads of this type will hopefully force people to realize that they are part of the problem. As a consumer, we have choices in what we buy. Buying products from companies such as Cover Girl, is supporting a company that tortures animals through product testing. Most consumers
Mandatory Animal Testing for Medical Experiments In class discussions, we have expressed the topic of whether animal testing was wrong or not because animals have feelings. Some researchers say that because animals can have emotional attachments and feel, that it is morally wrong to test animals in any way. According to Peggy Carson, an animal rights activist that have worked for years with animal protection organizations, she explains how animal testings are not need whatsoever in any field of
