Recommended: Ethical treatment and human use of animals

Creating an environment in which animals are regarded as a relative equal is not only difficult, but it is near impossible to control. The goal is to create an environment where animal rights become as natural to society as rights for the mentally handicapped and others that cannot speak for themselves. Many people would agree that animals are below humans, that they are a part of the food chain and need to be used to help humans survive. Stating that animals are meant to be used for human good puts us above nature, it places us as gods, and we decide when they live or die. There are many problems that need to be addressed like livestock and domestication of animals. All these situations need to be examined carefully to fully understand why they exist. Philosophies of Humans throughout the world vary from the virtuous …show more content…

Humans have a belief that animal rights are specified for domesticated animals and endangered animals, this belief is fairly universal. A billboard comes to mind of a spectrum of animals ranging from cats and dogs to a horse, then to farm animals an arrow at the bottom stating "pets--->food" (Radke,2016). The ad 's point was to make people begin to think about the definition of a pet and the ethical principles related to that. If we were to be practicing temperance then we would probably not have the massive meat industry we do currently. Instead, humans would use only what we needed and have more restraint, eating more plant based centered meals. It is immoral to kill other life for anything other than pure need so the meat industry should be considered an ethically poor business. The supply of grain we have in the world could completely feed human kind two fold, but 70% of grain is used to feed animals, that feeds people who can afford it. This is a waste of resources, this makes the meat industry a manifestation of our greed (EarthSave,

    Unfortunately, most people do not see the connection between consuming meat and encouraging animal abusing. Animal abusing is described generally as any act or omission that causes unnecessary or unreasonable harm to an animal. The animals like chicken, pigs, cows and turkey are confined in tightly packed cages for twenty four hours a day without fresh air and sunlight. In the cages, animals are brutally attacked and tortured by the factory workers (PETA). The cows are repeatedly impregnated after every four months and boosted with hormones, so they can provide more milk. Most of the animals often experience stress, various diseases and contamination in their living sheds due to the congested area. The chickens are pumped with hormones that cause their body mass to grow rapidly, but their muscle does not grow as much as the body mass. As a result, chickens cannot stand or walk properly and are unable to compete with others to get the food; resulting in death. Additionally, when cows are useless, they are brought up to the slaughterhouses where their throats are incised with the knife, while they are still conscious (PETA). The animals are experiencing all these abuses for the taste of our mouth. Most people do not think about these inhumane practices while purchasing meats from the

You remember back to earlier that day: sitting on the couch, feeling a little off, hearing your dog barking, sensing him nudging you, going to the phone to call the ambulance, and having your dog by your side until you were safe inside the aluminum walls of the emergency vehicle. Although it sounds abnormal that a dog would be the one to save someone’s life, situations similar to the one above are not uncommon. Dogs and other household pets have been shown to be able to detect medical emergencies, including heart attacks and seizures, in their owners.

    When I was little my teachers would ask me “Cora, What do you want to be when you grow up”? In reality, I couldn’t make up my mind on what I wanted to be ‘when I grew up’. When I was around seven, I went from wanting to be a Veterinarian to being an Astronaut, then back to a Veterinarian again. Around age 10, I wanted to be a dentist, even though I hate mouths. Then I wanted to be a Veterinarian again. Junior Year of high school came and when we started to research colleges and careers I heard that Premed programs were so hard to get into, and I wasn’t fooling anyone with my grades. I did some research on Veterinarians and I discovered that the Veterinarians don’t really handle the animals like I thought they did. Then I learned about Veterinary Technicians, they do so much with the animals. I

    Since the first upcoming of human life there has been extinction. Animals and other living things have developed, flourished, and vanished since the first flickerings of life. Through the process of evolution, more successful types of animals replace those that are less successful. Sooner or later, every species or kind, of living thing dies out because it can’t keep up with the natural changes in its environment. In recent times, many species have passed out of existence sooner than they would have naturally.The problem is that animals are getting extinct faster that we thought and we are running out of time to save them. In order to solve this problem we need to create habitat preservation, habitat restoration, anti-poaching measures, wildlife corridors, and laws and policies. This is what we owe back to the animals of the world for making their lives harder to survive by changing their way of life, from global warming to destroying forests to build skyscrapers, to bad energy resources.

    In the 90’s wearing fur was considered as a taboo for its cruelty (Courcy n.d.), but today only 58% of young people consider wearing fur unethical (Fisher, 2014). The increase of use of fur by fashion designers and big fashion houses made the public overlook the inhumanity of this production. Besides, the way people of the fur industry justify their crimes against animals convinces consumers that wearing fur is not a wrongdoing. While the profits of fur products are expected to increase up to $35 billion this year (Gorton 2015), more campaigns are rising up against this barbaric industry. The only thing that can be done to stop this production is boycotting fur products, for the way it violates animal rights and its devastating impact on the

    Should the torture of an innocent animal go unpunished? No, it should not; the real question is to what extent should the perpetrator be punished? The most basic definition of animal abuse is the intentional act of inflicting physical pain, suffering, or death on an animal; this includes monstrous neglect (the act of withholding food and water) that causes an animal to suffer, die, or be put in imminent danger of death. Currently, animal cruelty offenders are not punished to the extent that some believe they should be. Animal cruelty should receive mandatory jail time because the abuse towards an innocent animal is deemed inhumane and oftentimes is a precursor for violence against humans.
