Medical researchers, cosmetric companies, and others often perform experiments on animals. Many people feel that experiments on animals is wrong and should be stopped immediately because animals do feel pain and there are other alternatives. How do you feel? State your position and explain your reasons.
Medical researchers, cosmetics companies, and others often perform experimentation on animals. I for one believe that this is wrong. I believe it is wrong because, animals weren't made in life to experiment upon, animals do have feelings as we humans do, and that's why certain animals on this earth are frightened by us humans.
Just like us animals have a purpose for being on earth. no matter what their purpose is, it does not involve experimentation, or death. Animals feel pain, just as we do. For example cats, dogs, and birds, they all are animals and they were put on this earth for other results then experimenting upon. These animals are very smart beings that could be used for more than experimentation. That is used for our own selfish needs.
A young antelope was being dragged into the river by a crocodile. A nearby hippopotamus saw what was happening and charged the crocodile; the crocodile released the antelope and swam away. The hippo gently pulled the antelope up the riverbank. Was the hippopotamus showing compassion?Bison in Alaska have been observed taking turns running down a hill, and then sliding across the frozen lake at the base of the hill, spinning around and around. Then they climb up the hill and do it again! Are the bison feeling joy?This collection of true animal stories, witnessed by naturalists and others, is both heartwarming and thought-provoking. Do animals merely follow instinct? Or do animals have feelings too?
Do animals have feelings? Until recently most scientists didn't think so. They thought that most animals behave instinctively--that they don't have feelings such as happiness, sadness, grief, vengefulness, or compassion. Many scientists are now changing their minds. Close observation of animals is tending to show that animals may have feelings quite similar to human feelings. This collection of true animal behavior, witnessed by naturalists and others, is both heartwarming and thought-provoking.
To a growing number of activists, the idea that animals have some basic rights of their own is not so far-fetched. Indeed, the idea’s roots – that animals should not unnecessarily be made to suffer – has a long tradition in human history. But the idea that animals have actual rights, rights that might conflict with the interests of people, is something fairly new and controversial. The fact that we do experiments on these animals makes their rights even more reasonable because animals shouldn't be treated unfairly from humans. Also it makes animals more frightened by us because we harm them in painful physical and emotional ways ,that we purposely or accidently don't realize. So animals use there fear to defend themselves like a human uses their fears to defend themselves which i find really reasonable.
We humans have rights , so why can't animals have them. We for one shouldn't have the right or even have the cruel thought of controlling an animals life. I know I do not think of controlling an animals rights because an animal is i really precious gift like as if i had a puppy or a baby. Animals have feelings just as well as humans. We may not be able to see it like they could probably see ours but they have feelings like us. We need to realize that animal abuse is just as wrong as any abuse we could put on any animal. So the next time you call yourself beating an animal, think of how you would feel if that animal was you.
