However, we have also used other animals as sources of food and nourishment when humans hunted and farmed.

The rights that they do deserve are to live their lives without going through pain and to be able to live their lives

need to abide by to attain the ethical standards set by the home office. The first of which is the Animals Scientific Procedures Act 1986 (ASPS) which protects non-human vertebrates and cephalopods during scientific research. The act states that research should only be conducted on animals if it is necessary and there are no alternatives. The ‘3Rs’ – Replacement, Reduction and Refinement are an important component of ASPA legislation to protect experimental animals. In our research it would not be

Many scientists and advocate groups for the ethical treatment of animals such as PETA have been raising this ethical issue for many years and have even proposed methods that would allow the animals to continue entertaining the public while

Approximately 26 million animals are used every year in the United States alone for research and commercial testing (“Background of the Issue” 1). For years, legislators have debated the pros and cons of animal testing, and laws were passed to attempt to fix the inhumane treatment of the cute, innocent testing subjects, the animals. Although the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) was revised numerous times, “the species most commonly used in experiments (mice, rats, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians)

Animal Testing According to PETA, (People for the Ethical Treatment) over one hundred million animals- including dogs, cats, rabbits, monkeys, mice, rats, frogs, and birds are killed in U.S laboratories for biomedical testing each year. The term “animal testing” refers to the use of live animals in experiments and development projects usually meant to determine toxicity, dosage, and efficiency of test drugs. More often than not, a live animal is forced to undergo pain, distress, and even lasting

A) Explain the reasoning behind this statement and provide support for it. - We can see that Homeotic Genes do work to make any animal form because it is the same in each animal. A great example of this is the work by Walter Gehring in which he used the Pax6 gene from a mouse to code for eyes in a fruit

This is an American animal rights organization based in Norfolk, Virginia and led by Ingrid Newkirk. PETA is also known to be the largest animals’ rights organization in the world (“About PETA”).

A Comparison of Advocates and Adversaries of Animal Research Tony Lee April 20, 2015 Dr. Baine Craft Abstract The belligerent perspectives of animal research hold strongly to different goals. Advocates hold the view that animal research is beneficial to science and medicine, which can be applied for humans and animals alike. This is opposite from the perspective of adversaries who value the life of an animal, as well as related lives. History shows the progression of the adversaries influence

practices. Many people in rural areas of the United States hunt in order to harvest lean, organic, healthy meat for personal consumption.

INTRODUCTION Allotransplantation is the prime treatment available to humans with damaged organs (Cowan, 2011). However, due to a shortage of suitable organ donors, approximately 100 Australians die each year while waiting to receive an organ transplant (McCredie, 2010). To fulfil the need for organs, transplant specialists use the method of cross-species transplantation, also known as xenotransplantation. Xenotransplantation involves grafting or transplanting live organs (heart, kidney, liver etc
