...I disagree with conducting experiments on animals, it’s inhumane and cruel against animals. It’s also unreasonable and invalid considering that animals aren’t even the same species as humans. There is also over means of testing that doesn’t harm animals or people. Also I think that these alternative means of testing products is useful and should be used instead of testing products on animals. Conducting experiments on animals is cruelty against animals, considering that products that are tested on animals are commonly treated unfairly and are force fed, forced inhalation, food and water deprivation, and undergo prolonged periods of physical restraint. Infliction of other wounds to study the healing process also commonly occurs. Also...

...away and take another animal, all without the least bit of pity. To be living in hell, and to know your death is soon to come. Poor animals in animal testing laboratories feel like this everyday - powerless, blockaded from all the goodness in life. It’s sickening that the human race has stooped as low as to deprive one's innocent life for the sake of a better perfume, and that atrocious acts like this still happen today. Although...

...Animal rights are rights that are often forgotten or looked over. Humans have many rights protecting them from many things, but the animals have little rights making them vulnerable to many things. Animals are put through a lot of cruel things. There are many industries that are tough on animals and there is nothing protecting them from the torture they receive. The food industry is a major industry that puts animals through a lot of pain and suffering. Some of the things those animals are born into is cruel and inhumane. Factory farm animals are put through some tough stuff. Factory farm animals are packed so tight that a lot of them can barely move, many of the animals in factory farms have no access to the outdoors at all so they live their...

...humans and animals are different. Animals do not have some rights as humans because there "is no morality for them and animals do any moral wrong. Therefore it is impossible to empower the same rights to humans and animals, and animals should not be considered for the same position as humans. For example, the laws of human provide us a guarantee that every person has the right of not being hurt. If the application is also suitable to the animal, of course scientists should not be allowed to use animals in the experiments, but the laws of the animal world cannot offer that, because of the fact that wild animals prey on other animals for their food. It is conceivable that animals do not have a sense of duty like people, so they should not be equated with human beings. However, using animals for scientific experiments should not be argued. Using animals is not mistreating animals, the use of scientific research has a more meaningful and essential purpose. Secondly animal testing standards are acceptable as they are controlled by many laws and regulations. In Australia, all research and teaching that involves the use of animals must be according to the "Australian code of Practice for the care and use of animals for scientific purposes." Each animal testing must be assessed by an" institutional Animal Ethics Committee (AEC)". The AEC decides whether or not an experiment can be conducted, and can place provisions on the numbers of animals used. The AEC prevents animals from being...

...National Rifle Association. The National Rifle Association struggles to protect the right to bear arms. The NRA gets a little extreme, like most organizations. Associations are polar, life is polarity. You will have the extreme in every one you meet. Peta for example, (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is a great cause solid beliefs that we, as a world, needs to protect the interests of animals. Who wouldn’t want to save puppies from cruel, unnecessary testing? However, when Peta activists line the streets in lettuce bikinis, people begin to see them as extremist. The NRA is the same way. When Charlton Heston expresses his extreme views publicly after the Columbine tragedy with the exclamation, “From my cold, dead hands,” the NRA starts to get a bad reputation as well. Michael Moore used Heston’s mistake of leading a rally right after the tragedy to his advantage. Moore portrayed the NRA as inhumane, cruel people who don’t care about the tragedy at Columbine High School. Viewers who are aware of documentary tricks may catch that it is extreme manipulation. Others, however, now believe that the NRA is the devil. Bringing up the NRA in such a negative light was an unfair argument in Bowling for Columbine. It was an ad hominem attack against Charlton Heston. This argument was a logical fallacy, and should be taken out of the...

...As soon as the words “animal testing” spirals out in a conversation, the atmosphere immediately becomes uncomfortable, but people never realize why. This is probably because when people think of animal testing, they think of cages, injections of poisonous liquids, and other cruel treatments for the selfish benefits of the human race. Many people look upon animals as companions while others view them as a way of advancing experimental research. Animals are meant to be respected and admired, but the truth is that many people either are not aware or don’t acknowledge that animals are essential to human existence and have been playing a vital role in improving the quality of our lives. Their role in finding cures for diseases, treatments for illness,...

...Position Paper – The Pros and Cons of Animal Experimentation The Pros and Cons of Animal Experimentation Animal research has had a major role in many scientific and medical advances. It has both its advantages and disadvantages. “Moreover,” animal experimentation is an extremely controversial subject that has divided people into a group that either support animal testing or oppose it all together, and another that advocates the use of alternatives. There are many pros and cons when it comes to this subject. People all over the world have different opinions on weather animal lab testing is humane and necessary. Animal experimentation is unethical due to the practice of animal torture and suffering, animal choice and death of these animals. Animal experimentation (noun): any type of experiment performed on living animals, especially in order to test the effects of chemical compounds such as new drugs, cosmetics, food additives and pesticides (Animal experimentation, 2001). All over the world, people think differently on whether animal experimentation is an appropriate way to test medicines and products. Each year in the United States, an estimated 70 million animals are maimed, blinded, scalded, force-fed chemicals, genetically manipulated, and otherwise hurt and killed in the name of science, by private institutions, household product and cosmetics companies, government agencies, educational institutions, and scientific centers. Substances we use every day, such...

...Imagine being born in a dark, cramped environment and being taken away from your parents shortly after birth. The main purpose of life is to produce enough milk or eggs to satisfy your owners or eat enough to become fat. You rarely see the light of day, you eat the worst food possible, and your living space is a cramped mess. You are an animal growing up in a factory farm. Factory farms sometimes contain up to 20 thousand hens in a single shed (Broudy). Many consider Vegetarianism to protest the unfair treatment of animals, while others choose vegetarianism for health reasons. A vegetarian lifestyle is healthier for people and the planet they live on. Bob Holmes, a consultant for New Scientist says this may be why 20 percent of the world’s...

...businesses. Consumers are willing to pay a premium price for environmentally-friendly brands. At the same time, there is much skepticism as to whether companies are intentionally or accidently misleading consumers. Chipotle, one of the fastest growing fast-casual restaurant chains in the world, declares it serves “Food with Integrity”. What does that mean? The company’s reputation has taken some hits in recent years due to lack of transparency. Lessons have been learned along the way yet there is still a credibility gap. Many wonder if Chipotle is telling the public a feel-good story or the truth. This paper will take a look at the company’s CSR: intent vs. execution vs. depiction. Genetically Modified Organisms GMO’s are plants or animals who have been inserted with a gene from an unrelated species in order to take on specific characteristics (Lee, 2014, p. 1). The push to label GMOs in ingredients has become an escalating, passionate national movement. In 2013, Chipotle was one of first U.S. companies to announce that it would disclose which menu items contained GMOs with the ultimate goal of becoming free of all GMs by the end of 2014. That goal was achieved in 2015 when the...

Its total sales are &Dollar;2.4 billion ahead of those of its closest competitor, Unilerver, an more than double those of Revlon and Shiseido. It boasts a world-wide distribution network as well as the industry's highest research-and-development budget and the largest cosmetological laboratories in the world. L'Oréal's story begins in turn-of-the-century Paris, at a time when women of the demi-monde dyed their hair, their choice restricted to fiery red or coal black. In 1907, Eugène Schueller, a young chemist, began to concoct the first synthetic hair dyes by night in his kitchen and sell them to hair salons in the morning under the brand name Auréole. His strategy was successful; within two years he established the Société Francaise des Teintures Inoffensives pour Cheveux, which soon afterward became L'Oréal. In 1912, the company extended its sales to Austria, Holland and Italy and by 1920 its products were available in a total of 17 countries, including the United States, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Equador, Bolivia, and the Soviet Union, and in the Far East. At this stage, L'Oréal consisted of three research chemists and ten sales representatives...

They work for welfare of people without any greed of money or profit. · Politicians barely do anything for the country. NGO’s are there to fill those gaps. · They are well known as building blocks of the global community and as contributors to economic production, employment, institutional innovation, and technology. · They work for the people and enjoy support of a lot of people. They support people and work represents their voice. · In most cases NGO’s prove to handle issues much better than the government, however, they cannot replace the government. · Even today, unfortunately there many NGO’s that produce fake papers and work and take support from government. · If NGO’s can work for people’s interest without any intention of money and profit, they can be a better substitute of the government.

...Racism 2 In this current disenchanted world, there is no meaningful order of things or events outside the human domain. When the forests and the farms are no longer considered sacred and the spirits we tempted with food and sacrifice have no mysterious risks associated with the systematic rape of mother Earth. Then a disenchanted nature is no longer alive. The living Earth commands no respect, reverence or love. It is nothing but a giant machine, to be mastered to serve human purposes. The animists(1) took care of this planet on up to the last few hundred years. As man accidentally discovers the beginnings of commerce that opens the doors to an industrial nation, then an industrial world will soon discover industrial waste. Whether the notion that a mountain or a tree is to be regarded as a person is taken literally or not, the attempt to engage with the surrounding world as if it consists of other people might possibly provide the basis for a respectful attitude towards living things. If your disenchantment is over the environmental problems and destruction, then the environmental racism byproduct can be regarded as an attempt to reveal to you that we are part of the world collective and that we are in a sense, the world itself. Environmental racism(2) is one of the biggest problems the world faces today. Issues created by corporate polluters produce trouble in the form of economic, as well as, physical. For some individuals and cultures, it affects them every...
