My Passion For Animal Rights

I would like to be a veterinarian because ever since the age of four, I’ve had the desire to protect animals who I feel are weaker than humans because they have no voice. I believe that my passion to save animals stems from having a cat and watching her die at a young age. Not having the opportunity to help her made me think of how other people feel when they lose a pet and if there was any way that animals could be saved. I discovered that veterinarians save animals’ lives through reading a book, which answered my thoughts and gave me the initiative to become one. Therefore, at the age of nine, when my mother asked me what I wanted to do with my life, I told her that I wanted to be a veterinarian. I often find myself answering the question,

Having a veterinarian father, animals have always been members of the family. It became my responsibility to care for

Is it ethical for animals to have the same rights as humans? During this paper I will present the views of both sides. I will try my best to give the reader a chance to come to there own unbiased conclusion. I will talk about the key areas of animal ethics. I will present the facts and reasoning behind the arguments over Animal cruelty, testing, hunting, and improper housing. My conclusion will hopefully bring us closer to answering many of the question surrounding “Animal Rights and Ethics”.

My interest and passion for helping animals has been with me for as long as I can recall. This interest stemmed from my love of our family dog and my parents introducing me to the beauty of the animals in nature. In fact, when I was about 6 years old I innocently and confidently declared to my parents

Doesn’t it kill you to see a movie and see an animal get killed or just hurt in it? Good thing that’s all special effects. Back in the day, around 1966, movies didn’t always use special effects. Khartoum, a movie based on a holy war in the Sudan desert, directed by Basil Dearden and Eliot Elisofon, used horses a great deal, but did not use the special effects in order to not hurt the animals. Many horses died in the making of this movie, as well as others, even including a major hit, Ben-Hur. Today, there are many activist groups that fight for and about the unfair treatment and protection for animals in everyday life. The People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is one of these groups. PETA was founded in

What is an example of a change of heart about animals? An example would be feeding a stray animal and taking it to an animal shelter so it can be taken care of and have the possibility of meeting a family who would take care of

Every single person on this earth has a passion. No, I am not talking about fruit. I am talking about is something that can put a person on top of the world or put a 40 ton wrench right in the center of a person’s gut. Passion. Comparable to a lot of guys in this world my passion is sports. Michigan State University athletics. Consequently, when a sports beat writer imposed that my team... my team 's defense was not “good” enough to compete at the highest collegiate level at the college football playoffs. Well, I just had to tell him why he was wrong.

I am not what someone would usually expect of a typical teenager. I am involved in many volunteer groups. I work diligently for animals and their rights. My love for animals has lead me to

I remember being in 9th grade, and wanting so desperately to “fit in”. My high school goal was to be popular. Sadly, I was far from popularity. I never could comprehend why I never was popular. I seriously want it to belong to a big group of people. My high school years were very memorable, because I tried my best to find a place where I belonged. Every semester tried to transform myself, into a person I wasn’t. I became a vegetarian in the 9th grade and joined the Animals Rights Club. Unfortunately, didn’t make a single friend in that club. Apparently, only vegans and hippies were solitary welcomed into that club. I was far from a quitter. I didn’t let the animal rights club stop me from finding friends. After an entire year of going to events

My childhood experiences with animals helped to influence my decision to go into the veterinary science path. My reason in doing so, is significantly due to the horrible emotion of not being able to take care of your pet and not knowing what to do. On my twelfth birthday, my parents gifted me with a yellow parakeet. I promised them i would put blood, sweat and tears into being a responsible owner. I did what any twelve year-old would do, searching up videos on Youtube how to train the bird, groom it and bath it. With a pet of my own, I felt like the happiest tween in the world. Whenever I played my music, it was as

Some people are born to be advocates, at least that’s what my parents tell me. They say that I was born with the gift of perseverance. While I initially pleaded for selfish concerns, I eventually became an untiring advocate for other things, mainly animals, and developed into a champion of the oppressed, mainly stray animals I hoped to adopt. I clearly recall my first adoption: Hammy the Hamster, the third grade class pet

I love it. The hiking across large open lands. The excitement when I find the perfect target. The rush of pulling the trigger. The success to walk up to my prize. I love hunting. Many people think hunting is a sport for boys only, but I don’t. Hunting is a super fun way to spend quality time with my dad, and it’s one of the things that makes me special. I love telling my stories of my trips.

It is a true mystery how I came to acquire the degree of peculiarity I have over my entire lifetime, I suppose it was a mix of circumstance and predisposition. Despite my traditional upbringing in Mexico as a catholic, my ideology has morphed into its own unorthodox line of free thought. I am a vegetarian animal rights activist, a feminist who doesn't abide by social constructs of gender, I believe in the liberation of individuals confined by conventionality, and I am a member of the Communist party who believes "Proletariats have nothing to lose but their chains"

Animal rights is the idea that all animals are entitled to the possession of their own lives. It’s important to have animal rights because it prevents animals from living horrible, tortured lives for human benefit and entertainment. They have feelings and emotions too, they should be treated as humanely as possible at all times, they are not on this earth for human benefit and usage.

From the very beginning of the lesson when I introduced the activity students were looking forward to the “tic-tac-toe” activity. I had students first play tic tac toe by defining the words. When students were doing well with that, I then began having students use the words in sentences. This was a lot more challenging for the students and they began just helping each other out instead of competing. For the next lesson, we are going to spend more time on using these vocabulary words in sentences. I know students struggled more with the word “humane” since it is so similar to human. Some students just drew a person for their picture of the word “humane” so I know we will need to spend more time on it next time. Our goal for next time is to be
