The process of preparing the project: I start with information finding in week 3 by referring to youtube suggested by the lecturer. Then I choose a topic: Factory Farming. I prepare the script for the speech by referring to a few website that I got from google search. I narrow down the main ideas that I want to include in my topic: 1) disadvantages/ danger of factory farming; 2) suggestion to replace factory farming; 3) action that need to be done. Apart from that, I prepare the material supporting my presentation that include the visual for factory harming so that audience can give full attention to the topic, arouse their interest to know more and continue listening to my speech.

...can not fathom is animal testing. Animal testing is one issue I wish I could solve, for many reasons. Animals deserve rights, even though they can’t speak. The ways animal testing is conducted is not humane. There are better means to test products. All these factors play a part in why I believe animal testing should come to an end. Every human being is born with the desire to have rights. Those rights can consist of speech, choice, or rights as simple as choosing your classes. When an aspect of those rights is taken away we voice our opinions. Thousands of animals are mistreated, killed, or severely injured just like people all over the world. The only difference is that they can’t voice their opinions. They can’t stand up and claim the rights they deserve. It’s our responsibility to provide help to the animals that have to suffer in laboratories....

...Animal Control Officer 3/17/2013 Introduction Animal Control Officers are members of law enforcement who are looked upon to protect not only animals from dangerous situations and cruelty but they also protect neighborhoods from strays and hazardous animals. Through my research I took a more in depth look at answering what is the typical profile associated with an Animal Control officer. In 16th century European villages “dog whippers” were charged with keeping dogs out of churches and confining town strays. The part of an Animal Control Officer has changed over the last few decades to meet the needs of rescuing animals from dangerous or abusive situations and investigating any cruelty or neglect. This is a fast rising field that has even grown in popularity, thanks to network television shows like Animal Planet. Animal control officers can hold jobs in health departments, police departments, sheriff’s departments or in parks and recreation departments. They are responsible for implementing and understanding animal rights, laws and regulations. Duties include but are not limited to: • Responding to emergency calls involving animals • Dealing with stray animals • Investigating incidents with both wild and domestic animals (such as bites) • Investigating animal cruelty cases • Dealing with animals in a shelter • Issuing fines or taking animal owners to court for acts such as those of irresponsibility or violence • Investigating dog fighting cases • Protecting...

...an interest group, with examples. The interest group that I will discuss in this paper is the one of the most well-known animal rights groups in the world; People for the ethical treatment of animals, commonly known as, PETA. Founded in March 1980 by Newkirk and fellow animal rights activist Alex Pacheco, the organization first caught the public's attention in the summer of 1981 during what became known as the Silver Spring monkeys case, a widely publicized dispute about experiments conducted on 17 macaque monkeys inside the Institute of Behavioral Research in Silver Spring, Maryland. The group first came to public attention in 1981 during the Silver Spring monkey’s case, a dispute about experiments conducted by researcher Edward Taub on 17 macaque monkeys inside the Institute of Behavioral Research in Silver Spring, Maryland. (Eldercare Home Health, 2012) The case led to the first police raid in the United States on an animal laboratory, triggered an amendment in 1985 to the United States Animal Welfare Act, and became the first animal-testing case to be appealed to the United States Supreme Court, which upheld a Louisiana State Court ruling that denied PETA's request for custody of the monkeys. Pacheco had taken a job in May 1981 inside a primate research laboratory at the Institute, intending to gain firsthand experience of working inside an animal laboratory. Taub had been cutting sensory ganglia that supplied nerves to the monkeys' fingers, hands, arms, and legs, a process...

...You can only forgive a person when you are able to rise above your own pain and hurt and realize the following:- 1. Anyone who hurts you has been hurt. More often than not, that person was not hurt by you. 2. Anyone who hurts you hurts too. 3. You will never understand why anyone hurts you. 4. You can understand that anyone who hurts another is motivated by his/her own pain and not by his/her own pleasure. 5. Being hurt by someone is a choice. 6. The only alternative choice to being hurt is to change. You either hurt or you change. 7. Never wait for the person who hurt you to change. More often than not, that will never happen. 8. It is you, and not the person who hurt you, who has to change for you to stop hurting. 9. Even if, by some miracle, the person who hurt you changes, you will never stop hurting until you change too. 10.The change you have to make is to strive to become a better person. 11. You cannot change yourself. 12. Only your maker; your creator; the one true living God, can change you and make you a better person. 13. Forgiveness is the only means by which to stop hurting and choose to change. 14.Forgiveness comes when the hurt is worth the change you see in you. 15. You can never become a better person if you never get hurt. Summary for This Lesson:- ...

...Humans have used animals for different uses. They have been used for food, clothing farm work and a variety of other uses. So using them to test new medical advances is different. Animal testing for medical purpose help saves lives and future generations. Animal testing should be continued for the use within the medical field. The ancient Greeks believed that animals were created by the gods to be used however people wish. The Bible says God gave man dominions “over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping things that creeps on the earth” (Genesis 9:1-3). The ancient Greeks and Romans influenced the laws of western civilization. The western civilization had no laws saying what you could not do to an animal no matter how cruel or unnecessary the act was (Thorburn). To some people animals have no rights at all while to others animals have rights and should not fell unnecessary pain and suffering. The people who believe animals have no rights; and use them just for their benefits but there is a line that should not be crossed animals do have feelings and some rights. The new movement of animal right groups has some good points like human like primates should not be used in testing like chimpanzees. The first law put in place by western civilizations was in the Massachusetts Bay colony. The law states that it is illegal to exercise any tyranny or cruelty towards any animal which are kept for use by humans...

...Utilitarianism is a teleological theory. It states that something is morally right if it produces pleasure and it’s morally wrong if it produce pain. The principle of Utility refers to the greatest amount of pleasure or happiness for the greatest number of people. According to Bentham, most moral acts are those that maximise pleasure and minimise pain. An action is correct according to Bentham if it gives higher quantity of happiness. Jeremy Bentham’s principle of utility states that ‘greatest happiness for the greatest number.’ Bentham stated that human being is governed by two sovereign masters: pain and pleasure. By pleasure he means the benefits, advantage, goodness and happiness. By pain Bentham refers to evil and unhappiness. An example of this will be childbirth. During the period of pregnancy and throughout the labour the mother goes through different level of pain. However, the result is pleasure as baby is born. This not only brings happiness to the mother, also to a greater amount of people especially the family members. The greatest happiness is given to greatest number. Bentham said: ‘Nature has placed us under the governance of two sovereign master, pain and pleasure. An act is right if it delivers more pleasure than pain and wrong if it brings about more pain than pleasure.’ This approach of Bentham can be used to decide on the right course of action as it considers an action is right if it produces the greatest good for the greatest number. This approach can...

...Animal Cruelty Liz Rasey English 112 Humans have been using animals for consumption ever since we have been around on the Earth. As the populations of humans rapidly increases throughout many centuries so has the consumption levels. Just within the last few decades has the awareness for animal rights gained tons of popularity. PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) was created in 1980 and “Focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in the clothing trade, in laboratories, and in the entertainment industry.” ([->0]) As the knowledge of animal cruelty becomes more popular , will people take action to ensure the lives of animals are protected against the way they are enslaved for food purposes? Animal rights activists and animal welfare organizations have slightly different beliefs and will both be discussed vs. people for animal experimentation and for food productions . Animal rights activists believe that “the rights to humane treatment claimed on behalf of animals, especially the right not to be exploited for human purposes” (The American Heritage Dictionary 2005). They also believe that humans and animals should have the same rights. The three major types of foods used for food consumption are the chickens, pigs and the cows. But there are definitely many others. “Every year in the United States over nine billion chickens...

...face and listen. These dangers and reproaches are coming from activists who oppose animal experimentations done by the researchers. However, the researchers consider the experimentations are necessary in order to produce credible results and safe products, and it cannot be replaced or eliminated. Thus, some scientists believe that they should inform the public about the importance of animal testing to gain public advocacy. However, other scientists worry about this idea since the media can bring adverse result. Many scientists who speak in public about their work have suffered from activist intimidation and violence. For example, Colin Blakemore, neurobiologist at the University of Oxford, and his family suffered from terrorists after defending his animal research in public. Also, the University of Cambridge had to abandon its project in 2004 with the loss of local support due to the constant harassment of staff and members by animal activists. However, despite the insults and threats, some scientists believe that they should speak out about their research involving animal testing. They have organized or joined the group called Pro-Test to correct the misinformation put out by animal-right groups, and to tell the benefits of animal testing. As a result of their rally in 2006, Pro-Test have gained considerable public and media attention. In the same year, BBC broadcasted the documentary about animal research called “Monkeys, Rats and ME”. Furthermore, with the support and security...

...Animal Abuse is an ongoing crime and it happens every day weather it be wild animals or animals in dairy factories. Most of the animals found on the road are abandoned by their house owners, the bulk of those animals are either cats or dogs. With reference to abandoned dogs, those animals, while not being attended reproduce puppies that are not desired and so, are assaulted through the neglect that they are left to suffer alone within the cruel world of the road. The tough conditions that street animals endure are major issues in animal welfare these days. Nearly seventy five million dogs are out on the road. The injuries suffered from fending for food are typically never treated. Tumors, infection of skin and open wounds are usually found on the animals that go untreated and cause nice suffering for the bruised and unattended animal. Nearly seventy five percent of households with kids over the age of six have at least one pet. Animal abuse and force usually occur in cycle(Animal Cruelty Facts and Statistics). In studies, women are abused less than animals. Within the words of Jordan Valerie, the President of Restate Animal, a volunteer organization that rescues stray dogs and cats, what many of us do not absolutely perceive is that animal abuse is not restricted to our households and streets. Another example of animal abuse is the agriculture. Agriculture could be a large-scale industrial web site wherever animals are rose for the food trade. Abuse happens in their restricted...
