Pain in animals

Animal rights activists have rallied and petitioning for an animal bill of rights because they are stating that animals are only being considered “property” by law, being no different than a table and chair. The Animal Legal Defense Fund is really passionate about the document being published even having specific rights for animals with numbers and strong evidence to back up each right and claim, leaving little detail out. Also, in the article “A Change of Heart About Animals” written by Jeremy Rifkin

How many animals do you think are used each year in the United States, alone for scientific and commercial animal testing? What if I told you, 26-million animals, remember just in the United States, are used yearly. Animal testing has been used for research since at least 500 B.C. Some people, such as Scientists, say it has extremely revolutionized the society that we are today, such as being able to have vaccines. If it was not for animals testing, we would not have the Hepatitis B shot. In contrast

Animals are more then test dummies, they are friends, family or even sometimes considered your sidekick. So why do we experiment on them, aren't their lives just as valuable as ours? Even though animals are appropriate research subjects because they are similar to humans in many ways, testing on animals is wrong, cruel, and inhumane. Innocent creatures are forced or subjected to pain and are put in harm's way, there are better ways to test products that don't involve killing or harming animals.

bans on animal testing for cosmetic products in several countries, including India, Israel, Norway, the European union and mostly recently, New Zealand, the United states, Canada, and Australia are among the countries who have yet to ban this ethically wrong practice and allow it to occur. Animal testing can be dated back to the ancient times of the Greeks and Romans, but many people still believe that the old-fashioned practice of animal testing for cosmetics died years ago. Typically, animal tests

Testing Makeup on Animals People around the world trust cosmetics to be non-toxic and harmless to the skin. Along with makeup, moisturizer, and nail polish. The United States administration considers hygiene products, like shampoo, deodorant, and toothpaste to be labeled as cosmetics as well. Before these cosmetics are placed on the market shelves, they have to be tested either on animals, humans, or scientific methods. Most of the time cosmetic companies opt for testing on animals, they claim that

decades now animal testing has been a known method in society. The downside of the reality is society is not fully aware of what is going on behind closed doors, and the severity of what animal testing truly is. Although there have been many points where animal testing has proven to help in certain studies, it is also proven to be unnecessary. Biomedical industries are looking for the next cure or the safest makeup for example, but the process of it all is wrong. There are millions of animals yearly being

Another thing, experimenting on animals are far more expensive than the alternative methods previously mentioned. HSI, Humane Society International, had done a study where they had compared a variety of animal tests with the cost of their in glass testing. For an “unscheduled DNA synthesis” animal test it would cost $32,000 while HSI’s in glass testing would costs $11,000. An “rat phototoxcity test” would cost $11,500, whereas HSI’s in glass testing would cost $1,300. The NIH, spends approximately

We Need More Animal Research, Testing, and Experimentation   A life can be taken or created in a matter of seconds and with that has come the miracles of modern medicine. People have come to expect science to save lives, prevent illness, relieve suffering and improve the quality of life. The means of curing, treating and preventing diseases are not achieved by magic or accident. Medical advances are gained through years of intensive research -- research in which laboratory animals have played

of Animals is increasing around the world, for personal and recreational uses. Animals are used in ancient and modern medicine to cure different types of illnesses and diseases. Animals are also being used for testing different types of hygiene products; which leave many of them are left scarred for life, while others are left to die in a cage. Animal rights groups around the world are working around the clock trying to stop this abuse, groups like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)

Cal Cohen says in Why Animals Do Not Have Rights, comparing animals to human being, we naturally take priority over the animals. I basically understand why Cohen says “Animals do not have rights”, due to certain situation animals cannot communicate to man on a logical level for man to fully understand. Mankind should make the call on animals and what right man should be responsible for with animals. Animal deserve to be protected from unnecessary pain, and senseless killings that man bring on them
