This article states how animal exprimentation is necessary to pervent human deaths and pervent diseases. It states that animal experimentation was used over millions of decades ago and should continue. This article states how there are cases that new products where not used on animals and resulted in human deaths. The author agrees that using animals can help us advance in science and find cures to different diseases. It also states how if we were to compleatly eliminate animal testing it would set us back

In this article, it states that rabits were used to study strokes and how to pervent perminent damage to the brian. The rabits helped create tPA which breaks down the clot that froms during a stroke which prevents damage to the neurons. Due to this, if patients come ER they would perform the tPA and pervent further damage and could avoid theraphy.

This article states how all the companies that say animal testing is necessary are lying, and some are even mistreating some of the animals. This article also states that animals are not the same as humans, and although the products are animals, the product is still tested out by humans. In some cases, the products that were safe to use on the animal resulted in death or damage to the humans that tested out the products. Another thing the article pointed out was that some of the reasons animals die during testing is sometimes not because of the product, but because of the stress due to being kept in a cage and being misstreated.

This article explains how the media is always trying to convince people that animal exprimentation is needed. The article mentions that most animal expriments due for curiousitaly and has nothing to do with researching diseases. It states that the media is often using old references to explian why animal tessting is needed and never mention that the percent to success has decreased. It made an arguement that most animals lives were wasted due to sciectist attempting to make an animal have a sickness that they couldn't have.

Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are like us." Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are not like us." Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction. ~Charles R. Magel

This quote strongly relates to my topic and all the other articles I found. I find this quote true because the media does often change there story to their convenience, not just in my topic but in everything. The quote shows how the experimenters often lie to try to convince people to keep animal experimentation I agree with the quote, because of the fact that they try to make everything sound good or acceptable contradicts all their words.

Picture

This picture relates to my topic of animal experimentaion, it shows how many test are done to one animal by mutiple sciencetist.This picture also shows roles being reversed between scienctist and animals who are experimented on. In this picture it shows how the person being experimented looks in a lot of pain. Also inthe background you see many caged humans wanting to go out, humans, as well as animals shouldn't be in a cage their whole life. switching the roles, made me realize, while animals are being tested on all their dignity is taken away

I 100% completely agree how not everyone in the USA can be happy. I think it's because people have become so sensitive about hurting other peoples feelings as well as people being so easily hurt. Also there's so many cultures here that no matter what you do, or what you say, someone gets their feelings hurt.. So are there too many cultures? I don't know for certain, but I'm leaning towards yes

The picture you chose is a really good way to show how animal testing shouldn't be done. I agree with you about how animals shouldn't be caged their entire lives. I like how you pointed out that the human is in pain. It shows that it's the same thing animals feels. Also, pointing out the humans in the cages is something to think about. Showing the humans looking scared and wanting to get out is exactly how animals feel when they're in that situation. I think the picture you chose was a great way to show that animals have feelings just like humans do.

Diana your art post is scary powerful. It really shows how bad it is to test on animals. I would hate if someone was using my body as a test. I feel so bad for the animals, because they can't speak up like we can. Im glad There are people like you to help change and speak up. Your picture really has me thinking, why hasn't this stopped. Im learning a lot from reading your post.

Question/Animal Experimentaion

DianaMartinez — 2015-05-05 17:26:07 UTC

Is hundreds of animals of different species lives worth saving one single human life? Explain.

Question/ Animal Experimentation

DianaMartinez — 2015-05-05 17:29:25 UTC

If you had the option to save a strangers life by giving up your own or one of your family members pet, would you think its fair? what would you chose to do and why?

I don't think one human is worth hundreds of animals. That's sad and cruel, animals shouldn't be used to make our hair care or face products. I think us humans forget that we only have one planet, we can't just move when the going gets tough. We need to fix the problem now before it's to late. Killing thousands of innocent animals is one of the problems we face.

Something I learned in the article is how cinco de mayo became so famous here in america because of marketing. Also I didn't know that cinco de mayo started in mexico becuase of mexican laborers, I thought it was started by the whole country Another thing that drew my attention was how the article mentioned that here in america cinco de mayo is celebrated like their 4th of July I knew cinco de mayo was celebrated here but I didn't notice how big they celebrated it.

Okay, that is a crazy tough question. I don't think anyone should die in vain, but I don't wanna lose my dog. Thats not fair at all.

I wouldn't give up my pet for someone I dont even know. Having a pet you will build a special connection with that pet. So why would I want to lose something I care for just to help a random person I don't even know. I don't think this would be fair becuase loved animals would be killed just to help a stranger.
