Why silk has came under fire from animal right activists'?
Silk is created by boiling silkworm cocoons. Silkworms are animals too - sentient creatures who feel pain and thus deserve to be protected. Also, silk is derived from silkworms, and many animal rights activists believe that humans are stealing the silk from these worms, in the sense that they certainly are not making it for us. Also, the silk industry does not have optimal habitats for silkworms - lack of natural sunlight, diet, etc.

because they kill animals to get the fur. also, most industrial fur comes from chinese fur farms, which are horrible animal cruelty - they abuse the animals and skin them alive. The fur farms use lots of dog pelts from someones beloved pet that they have kidnapped, and lable them as being fron some other animal.

Should animal abusers have a harsher punishment?
Most Animal abusers are charged with a 1,000 dollar fine and sentenced 2 days in jail, but in my opinion i think the punishment should be larger then that. Just because most animals can not talk doesn't mean that they do not feel pain or sadness.
Of course not! It's not even legal to disect humans/cats/dogs without clearence let alone vivisect.
How many animals get killed from animal cruelty?

Why do companies test on animals Why not Humans?
Animal experiments are designed to discover the effect of procedures and drugs on living things. Although animals and humans have different physiologies, many side effects and problems can be discovered. Animal testing provides data on medical treatments that are later used on other animals or on humans. The prevailing sentiment in the Western world is similar to that long espoused in some Eastern religions : that animals deserve to be respected as living beings. This oftens conflicts with their use in research, and has led to numerous changes and restrictions.
------------
Animal experimentation is a scandal that has been hidden from the American public. We have been lead to believe that the animals used in experiments are well treated and that the procedures performed on these animals are thoroughly regulated and governed by federal laws. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Over 90% of the animals used in experimentation are purposely excluded from protection under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA -- the only federal law that governs animal experimentation). Rats, mice, birds, and many other species have been expressly eliminated from all safeguards. Violations of the Animal Welfare Act by labs have increased by over 90% in the last five years.
The AWA places no real restrictions on what can be done to an animal during an experiment. Animals are routinely subjected to addictive drugs, electric shock, food & water deprivation, isolation, severe confinement, caustic chemicals, burning, blinding, chemical and biological weapons, radiation, etc. The "scientist" in question only has to say that a specific procedure is "necessary" for the experiment, and it is allowed. The goal is not to protect the animal; the goal is to insure that the experiment proceeds -- at any cost.

How many years do you get for animal abuse?
From what I heard you get up to 10 years, and a big fine. But really it depends on the amount of abuse. Lets say you have a dog who is really skinny and you give it up to the SPCA willingly, and you admit to what you have done, the judge will probably be a little bit nicer to you and you fine won't be as big. But let's say you abused your animal by torturing it, not feeding it and not providing health care for it until it died then you'll probably get some really big charges and lots of jail time.
How are people stopping animal abuse?
One way people stop animal abuse is by joining an animal protest group that boycotts animal abuse.

What is the logical reason for testing on animals but not humans?
The reason for the most important animal testing is to save human lives, to establish whether there is some aspect of a drug or treatment that could be harmful or fatal. Other research helps find cures and treatments for animal diseases. However, other uses for animal testing are not as valuable, such as testing cosmetics, or improving surgical techniques by deliberately injuring animals in a certain way. In many of these situations, neither animal nor human testing is morally defensible.
AnswerIn a Bible context, some would say it is because men have "dominion" over the earth, which means we are in charge and the custodians of all other creatures, so we can do what we want. But having dominion means we also have responsibility for the Earth and everything that lives on it. Therefore, we should not waste lives, even of animals. Whether testing is unnecessary is an argument that many people would have. Is killing animals during testing worth the lives that a drug may save? Perhaps. Perhaps not. What is certain is that we should keep asking these questions, and be aware of how we interact with our environment. We should be careful with the lives that we hold power over. AnswerThis is a subject that is going to lead to great debate. Some people will say animals are needed to do research in order to save lives, but the myth of that is that when you hear on the news something such as a certain product has been deemed dangerous for human consumption or certain medications have bad side effects -- guess where these are tested? The calculation of the doses they give to rats, mice, dogs, cats, and monkeys may not tell you exactly what it can do to a human. Cosmetics industries have used animals for injurious testing, leaving the poor animals with blindness, sores on their bodies, and pain. If you notice now, not only cosmetics but other products will be labeled "not animal tested." There's a good reason for that. Many people will refuse to buy products that are animal tested, and companies did not want to lose their customers.Several years ago, prisoners with life sentences were given the opportunity to become guinea pigs, to give back to society. The prisoners were NEVER forced and shouldn't be, but some truly wanted to leave this world by mending what they took away from society. There were, on occasion, other prisoners in prison for long sentences that were only too happy to try a new drug or treatment in exchange for reduced. But this should always be the prisoner's choice.
AnswerTo me it's like putting poisonous flea collars on humans to see if they'll work on a dog! If the human seemed to fare well and only a few had rashes or other maladies and 2% died from having that flea collar on, then it's FDA approved! But, think of this one. The people that put out this particular dog collar and tested it on people will now advertise it to pet owners as the best thing since sliced bread, and the dog gets a mega-dose of the ingredients in the flea collar, and some could have the same unfavorable side effects (even causing more death). This is the reverse of the animal-human scenario. Of course animals are smaller than people, but, scientists love to talk about a product or food that could be "dangerous to your health" when they have only tested it on rats or mice, and not in the same doses a human would ingest it.Just look at the news at all the medications advertised for the betterment of the human race, but then listen to the side effects! It makes me want to take that medication like I'd want a boil on my backside. Also if you watch the news you'll see more and more drugs being hauled off the market. I have investments and my advisor told me NEVER to invest in drugs because some drug companies were unreliable with their research and many of the medications were being hauled off the market. Think about that one! So much for animal testing.
If anyone is in doubt what they do to these animals feel free to visit a testing lab, but I can guarantee you they won't let you in the door!
AnswerAnimal testing saves more lives (both people and animals) than it kills. They won't let you through their labs because visitors only want to tell other people about how horrific it is...or worse, to sabotage the labs. Why are people more bothered about animal testing than Third World poverty? Most people seriously need to get there priorities right.And human testing? That wouldn't be cruel?
AnswerI'm an animal lover but when it comes to using animals or humans for testing I'm afraid I'd have to vote against animals. I'm sorry some animal lovers care more for a bunch of mice, specially bred for testing, than the human lives that might be saved. There was a reference made to all the problems with some of the new drugs on the market. Did you ever stop to think that maybe it's because of the fact that it has become a taboo subject to use animals in testing? It was also mentioned that "lifers" were given an opportunity to become human guinea pigs, I'm all for that! But, let's face it why should they, there's always a possibility that the ones that say they are innocent truly are. Even spending the rest of their lives in prison, they'd likely rather live.Animal testing is a horrible thing. Human testing is far worse! What kind of society have we become when an animal's life is more important than a human life?
AnswerIt may be cruel, but it's done before a medication or related item is released into the market. It's tested on lab animals to make sure it's safe. The catch is that animals have different enzymes and genetic makeups, so even though some animals are similar to humans, animal testing isn't always so reliable.poching an animal is like hunting but instead it is illegal imagine if your an animal your gonna have a beautiful life but sudenly in a beautiful morning a poacher comes to kill you and your family what will you feel all of the extinct animalsare extinct of us humans

Is it cruel to keep animals in cages?
Most people believe that it is cruel to keep animals in cages. However, everyone has a different opinion, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The majority of people think that it is cruel to do this, but then again, everything has another side to it. If you are a person who is not on this side, then it would be unfair to criticise those who are.
Still, however, there are some people who think it is NOT cruel to keep animals in cages. Even though most people think that people should not keep animals in cages; as mentioned above, everything has another side to it. This means that there will always be a side that believes we should keep animals in cages. Once again, do not ever criticise anyone who believes this point if you are not one who believes it.
Everyone has their own opinion and they are entitled to it. Do not criticise people who are not on your side.
