Interestingly, not all drugs are tested in the same way, some aren’t even humane. Animals can be hurt when testing for drugs but if we use other alternatives, like organs-in-chips, in vitro, and humans, then we can change animal abuse and help cure diseases. Animals can get hurt and suffer from drug testings done by humans. This fact shows that testing on animals is cruel, as it impair’ animals, both mentally and physically. Using animals for drug experiments, is unreliable, cruel, and very time
injuries that animals have to suffer for those products, as many cosmetic companies have performed various tests on animals during manufacture.

Essay: The Pain of Animals & Enemies of Science For centuries scientists have used animals to study the causes of diseases; to test drugs, vaccines and surgical techniques; and to evaluate the safety of chemicals used in pesticides, cosmetics and other products.

The Maricopa County animal control has evolved over the last century and the best way to understand animal control is to look at it through history. During the first quarter of the 20th Century, Maricopa County communities were rural and sparsely populated. Dogs and cats were valued for what they contributed to this rural lifestyle.

Animal Instinct What would life be like without a mother or a father? What would life be like without any adult supervision? How would a person act if they did not have society to tell them what is right and wrong? Author William Golding believes that a person that wasn't brought up by society would only act using their basic human nature. It is also a part of his believes that this nature is evil. In his novel, Lord of the Flies, Golding proves his ideas on the evil at the base of the human nature
Animals come to represent, both purity and the relationship human beings have with the world. Animals play a key role in Timothy Findley’s novel, The Wars, whether it's for the interference, necessity, affection or compassion towards the characters.

The animals connect with the main character, Robert Ross, in ways that reflect his uncommon character
circus animals’ lives are spent in chains or cages. Eleven months out of the year, the animals travel over long distances in box cars with no climate control; sleeping, eating, and defecating in the same cage” (Paws.org). These same animals are the ones performing for people for entertainment. This abuse is not any better in the zoos that are very popular. Animals are forced to live in small enclosures that are not optimal for the life of an animal used to roaming free. Abusing any animal, no matter
portray animals as talented and well-behaved beings, but behind closed doors, the animals are placed in pain and misery to perform the demeaning acts. Animals suffer without the publics’ knowledge of such torture. Laws protect these animals but are not sturdy enough to stop the overall sadness of the animals. Trainers in the circuses beat the animals in order to do certain tricks. PETA states that trainers use tight collars, whips, beatings, and torture as a daily occurrence for circus animals. Elephants
Animals in Georgia Parasitism is a dangerous problem because it causes disease in animals. These diseases in animals can be contagious to human beings; therefore animals harm the ecosystem by spreading bacteria, and pathogens.

aquarium at least once, sometimes for fun sometimes for school, but a lot of the time they don’t stop to think about the treatment of the animals. Sadly the U.S. government allows the capture of wild animals for public display and entertainment. The capture and captivity of animals for zoos and aquariums is cruel and unjust and should be prevented and banned. Animals in captivity suffer from stress and boredom in confinement. Family bonds are broken when individuals get sold or traded to other zoos
to keep animals captive. Zoos take animals captive in order to conserve endangered species but research has revealed that many of the animals confined in zoos are not threatened species. Most of the species in zoos are, as a matter of fact, marketable and familiar animals rather than endangered species (Keulartz, 340). Jeopardized species or not, animal captivity has had many negative effects on the captive animals such as their physiological behavior. On the other hand, zoos retain animals in cramped
Are Animals Worth It? Thirty years ago, congress passed a law to protect animals that are at risk of becoming extinct. The Endangered Species Act of 1973 outlined the responsibilities of the government and citizens concerning these animals. It requires that every five years, species are evaluated, and it is decided whether they are okay, endangered, whose population is so low that it is in danger of becoming extinct, or threatened, who are not in as much danger, but whose population is small
Animal Cruelty in Entertainment Millions and millions of people visit zoos, aquariums, and circuses each year because they love animals or they feel as if the public entertainment facilities are educational (Entertainment). What they do not know is that the facilities are designed to appeal to the visitors’ needs and desires instead of the animals. Animals are not spectacles to gawk at and hold hostage in horrid environments, yet they are still extracted from the wild, separated from their families
Animal Emotions Do animals feel joy, love, fear, anguish or despair? What ere emotions, and perhaps more importantly, how do scientists prove animals are capable of emotion? Sea lion mothers have often been seen wailing painfully and squealing eerily as they watch their babies being eaten by killer whales.

Save the Animals Ever heard the call of the wild? What about the wolf howling in the distant mountains? For most people the answer is no. This is because the wolf was eradicated from most areas of our country when the white man decided that he wanted to settle the west. Most of the extermination was because ranchers and farmers lost a good deal of livestock to wolves. Wolves were selected for extermination by the US government untill1976 when the government declared the Mexican gray wolf
Zoos are protecting endangered animals every day. Zoos are reaching out and taking action to save exotic animals that cannot be taken care of by owner. For example, a monkey is considered exotic and people should not own them. Exotic animals are not familiar with humans and can change their demeanor on humans in a split second and attack. The most natural place for animals is in the wild, but zoos are making life for animals better and animals live longer in zoos then they would in the wild. Zoos
seriousness of animal testing. They don’t realize the negative effects it can have on animals, and more importantly the negative effects it has on us humans. They might not think it’s a problem now because they don’t know all the facts about it. Everything is just hidden by scientists and social media. The problem with animal testing is that it’s wrong in so many ways, and the worst part is most people don’t know what really goes on between closed doors about this problem. **NEEDS SOLUTION** Animal testing
In your essay “The Lowest Animal,” you believed that humans are the lowest of all animals because they exhibit negative behaviors unlike that of other animals. Some of the negative behaviors you pointed out were greed, cruelty and pride. Because these behaviors were present in some humans, you felt it was just to group not only those humans into being the lowest animal, but all humans; these include the ones that do not demonstrate greed, cruelty and pride. Additionally, you did not take any positive
“Disgrace”, why and how does Coetzee uses animals as a metaphor, and how does animal life can be compared with the main theme of the novel? First I am going to explain how in the book some of the animal metaphors are related with negative issues about sex and animal instincts. The main theme of the novel is the same as its title, “Disgrace”, so then I will write about how animals and humans are related in the novel and how some of them live in disgrace. Animal metaphors start since the first chapter
Would a person like it if they sat in a cage way to small for them for their entire life? Farm animals face this problem and much more every day. Farm animals are severely abused, they don’t produce as much as they should, and there are many things that we can do to help save farm animals from this treatment. Farm animals suffer from many types of abuse, many of them illegal and horrific. “Battery-caged hens are typically provided with a meager 61 square inches of space in which to live-- that’s
