Medical Testing On Animals
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The pros and cons of medical experimentation on animals is a debate that rages hotly between two divided factions: those who claim humanity as a species cannot progress without the medical advancements afforded by animals and the welfare organizations that argue animals should not be seen as tools for man's selfishness. Supporters agree that animals are instrumental in providing an assortment of commodities for their human counterparts that include those supporting man's medical, entertainment, provisions and companion needs. However, despite the varying ways in which they ultimately serve mankind, they argue how history has failed to recognize their right to an existence of their own, having long been looked upon as nothing more than a throwaway product.

Non-Human Animals Rights and Moral Standing
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the moral standing of animal rights. The arguments for the moral rights of animals covers a great many aspects in regards to moral obligation, natural rights of man and animals, utilitarianism and man’s exploitation of anything or anyone it considers inferior to himself. While many argue that the distinction between species is a cognitive one, others argue that if a distinction should be made it should be in a species’ capacity to feel pain in which case animals are equivalent to humans and should not be treated poorly. Additional arguments show that humans are hypocritical in their actions. While many humans treat their domestic animals well and they fight for the protection of these animals, they still allow for inhumane treatment of animals to occur in regards to agriculture, medical experimentation and entertainment environments. Morally and ethically, humans do seem to believe in animal rights; however their actions do not reflect their morals ideals. By all accounts, non-human animals should have protection rights and should be morally equivalent to humans in nature but however sound the argument may be, the utilitarian aspect of the human actions seem to override this conclusion. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Organized Interest Groups: Political Participation On A National Level
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Mankind has deceived its furry, finned and scaled friends by its disgraceful disregard for their basic rights as living beings. Nowhere is it written that humans, while perhaps the most developed of all species, are the rulers over their nonspeaking counterparts. Whether or not a person believes animals have the same rights as humans is not the issue. The issue is that animals have the same innate right to a life free of pain, suffering and exploitation as man does, regardless if they are lower on the life chain. Animals have no one to stick up for them; mankind must adopt the role of their caretaker or prepare to suffer the consequences. The writer discusses the political agenda and participation of a wildlife protection organization whose mission it is to rehabilitate the Russian brown bear. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
