People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals

fifteen years since People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, otherwise known as PETA, introduced an extremely controversial and graphic campaign entitled "Holocaust On Your Plate" in 2003. In essence, this project consists of multiple "60-square-foot visual displays of animals in slaughterhouses with scenes of Nazi concentration camps" (Hamilton, n.d.) in an attempt to provoke emotions so powerful that they would influence its audience members to discontinue the consumption of animal products. Of course

Introduction Each year in USA laboratories more then 100 million animals are burned, poisoned and lamed (Top 5 Shocking Animal Experimentation Facts). Each year scientists use animals in order to progress, to improve life of people and animals. However, many testing animals suffer and die. But others do not agree and support the fact that we should use animals because of advance. So what are advantages and disadvantages of using animals? This problem will be researched from different areas such as

due to the long lasting tradition people often fail to see between the people and their practice, thus labelling it as unethical. Comparisons can be made between the treatment of animals through these practices and religious groups practicing Hinduism which also slaughter animals as part of the practice of their faith and tradition. The animals are also sacrificed in much greater numbers. A particular festival hosted every 5 years sees an estimated 350,000 animals killed over a single weekend alone

100 million animals harmed in the process. Mascara, eye shadow, lip gloss—all of these may be tested on mice, rabbits, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and many others. Substances we use every day, like cleaning products and pesticides, may also be tested on animals. Every year, millions of animals are maimed, blinded, poisoned, scalded, force-fed chemicals, genetically manipulated or ultimately killed by cosmetics companies. This is the ugly truth about animal testing. However, not

cause or point of view.” This means that people, businesses, and associations use propaganda, or false advertising, to raise their company up on the economical ladder and further their goals in the business world. Organizations such as PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) ,founded in 1981, should not be allowed to use propaganda or false information for advertisement purposes. It is time for the world to learn the truth about PETA and how the animals are really treated in the sports of the

and animal participation, researchers must adhere to ethical principles to ensure the rights of participants are protected. In 1978, the Belmont Report was issued "which articulated three primary ethical principles on which standards of ethical research conduct was based: beneficence, respect for human dignity, and justice" ( Polit & Beck, 2014, p. 83). These ethical principles remain the standards for research behavior today. Finally, the following paragraphs will break down each ethical principle

The production of animal products for human consumption contributes over 14.5 towards global greenhouse gas emissions, and is one of the biggest factors of climate change . Most consumers of meat and dairy are uninformed of this fact, as they believe that transportation and the burning of fossil fuels are the leading contributors towards global warming, and not the production of foods that they consume on a daily basis and in large quantities. However, the consumers are not the only ones to blame;

For the past years, the population around the world have been more concerned about the animal’ conditions with the help of some organizations like PETA (people for an ethical treatment of animals) or American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). Therefore, some governments decide to change their laws to protect the animals. In such manner, we can see changes from the European Union (EU), Israel, and India because the actions of those big organizations and the augmentation of

donation and ethical guidelines examined so far, only relate to Auto and Allografts in which the recipients and donors are only human and as such the guiding principles so far mentioned can only be applied to human donation. Yet currently there are investigations being made in another technique, which may bypass some of the ethical and moral concerns of human organ donation. This procedure is Xenotransplantation, although the technique has not yet been refined for common practice many people believe this

“Each animal bred or used for research, whether a mouse, fish, or monkey, is an individual capable of experiencing pain, suffering, and distress” (“Animal” 2013). The advancements in technology today had sparked a debate worldwide on whether it is right or wrong to use animals for experimentation in laboratories. With newly advanced scientific technology, experts are able to utilize advanced technology to simulate functions of the human body on a much smaller scale, including microchips of human
