Why do scientists use animals for testing?
Some of the animals could die an awful painful death and that is pretty sad to see people experiment on innocent animals.
What happens to animals in medical experiments will depend totally on who is controlling the experiments. It's true that some could die a painful death, but one would have to do extensive, non-biased research to determine how the animals are treated during experimentation and if any die such deaths as described above. It's best not to take everything you read or hear about any animal issues as the total truth as some are totally biased against any type of experimentation on animals of any type.
No matter what animal scientists experiment on, they do it in a vile and brutal way. Sometimes, scientists cut out the top of an animal's skull and put an electrical chip in there. You would be surprised how many animals suffer this kind of treatment a year - millions.
The type of experiments really depends on what happens to the animal. In most cases, the experiments involve invasive procedures, one of which is called vivisection. Animal experimentation is not necessary as all though non-human animals have similar bodies to humans, they are not identical, and the desired results are seldom produced. There are alternatives to animal experimentation, such as voluntary human dosing, but because it is cheaper to continue to torture involuntary individuals who have no rights under the current law, animal experimentation continues.
There is no justification for cruelty.

How much money does animal abuse cost?
In most cases (depending on where you live and whether or not they have animal laws there) you will be sent to jail, the longest I've heard was a sentence of 1 year with a bail of about twenty thousand USD but that was because the guy fired a .22-caliber riffle within city limits without proper authority.
Should people be punished for animal cruelty?
Yes. People should get punished because they are very sensitive and need care and if we can't hurt people, we can't hurt animals. That is not right. So yes they should get punished for animal cruelty. They need care and it is your responsibility to take care of them and treat them right.
Why is it good to kill animals for food and fur?
It is only good in the sense of our (humanity) survival. Otherwise, it is bad just to kill an animal for their fur because we already have clothing made from cotton and other materials, therefore humans do not need fur coats or apparel. We only need to kill animals for food, not for fur. It is bad to kill for fur, but good for humanity to kill for food.
What does it mean to debark or devocalize your dog?
Debarking, or devocalization, is a controversial surgical procedure in dogs that permanently stops a dog from barking through surgery. Debarking reduces the volume and pitch of a dog's bark making it sound more as if the dog is hoarse or whispering. This is done in response to problematic amounts of barking. Up to 35% of dog owners report problems with barking, which can cause disputes and legal problems that are often considered more important than the individual canines themselves.
The controversial surgical procedure known as 'de-barking' is a veterinary procedure for modifying the voice box so that a barking dog will make a significantly reduced noise. Animal rights organizations have strongly opposed debarking. Those who have the procedure done claim their dogs are non-responsive to other therapies. Imagine for a moment that someone forces you into surgery and takes away your ability to communicate and verbally express yourself. This is what debarking is for a dog. Puppy mills have utilized a particularly cruel and crude method of debarking dogs. ramming a metal pipe down dog`s throats. Animal rights activists have been trying to educate the public about this terrible practice. ***************************************************************
I'm supplying this edit in argument to the aforesaid information, as I have problems with the accuracy of the stated information. Hearing is the least important sense to a dog, so losing the ability to bark loudly won't impact communication. Dogs rely heavily on body language, and even deaf dogs who never learn to bark do very well in multiple dog households. Debarking a dog usually still allows them to bark, it just reduces how loud the barks are and how far the barks carry.
This surgery can literally be a life saver for someone whose dog barks so much that the neighbors are complaining. Owners can face fines, confiscation and euthanasia of the dog if the barking can't be brought under control by other means. Many dogs are problem barkers, and no amount of training, medications or bark collars will stop them, especially if its due to anxiety.
The animal rights activists want to outlaw debarking, but they don't present a solution to the problem presented by the many dogs that will be killed when their desperate, loving owners have run out of other options. This surgery can be a life saver! ----------- I edited both questions in order to reduce the invective that had nothing whatsoever to do with the answer or the objective facts supplied. I think it's fair on the one hand to say that any intrusive surgery should only be performed when medically necessary, as any surgery creates a health risk to the subject. Surgery without good clinical cause is unethical. That said, we live in a world where well-meaning dog owners may be presented with the options of giving up a barking dog or facing legal repercussions that can be quite extensive, and may well force the issue. Putting a barking dog out on the street, admitting it to Animal Control, either voluntarily or seeing the animal seized under court order, or putting the dog down in order to comply with a court order can be the other side of de-barking. I would suggest that, in the case of a choice between debarking an animal, or putting it down, de-barking has met the criterion for medical necessity. In this case, I leave it to the reader to determine which is the greater kindness. ----------------------------------------- i got a better opinion of what to do in this situation. instead of debarking your dog or putting it to sleep because of the barking and the neighbors getting bothered an all... how about you just dont get a dog at all. if you own a pet and you cant control it, best option would be to be petless and that would pretty much keep dogs from being put to "sleep" or being "debarked".

What happens to a cat in the microwave?
First off, don't try it.
The same thing would happen to a cat that happens to everything else. It's molecules would be agitated; with the effect that it would start cooking from the inside. Eventually of course it would die, just as it would in a conventional oven, and from essentially the same causes. How quickly would depend on the power of the micorwave and how high it was set.
Once again, don't try it.
What are arguments against cosmetic testing on animals?
For the against side I would say that it is cruel to test animals. They actually take the mascara wands and jab the poor little animal in the eye with it to see if it hurts. Many of the animals end up dying because of this treatment. And for the
for side I would say it is good because if we don't test things first, then
we might be in danger of the same things that we are putting the animals in: cancer risk, pain, etc etc etc.
How many animals are being rescued each year?
There is really no way to answer this since the total per year is in constant fluctuation.
Can testing on animals kill them?
Animals on which drugs are tested are typically euthanized following completion of the study. This is done because the animals are a biased pool for future studies (i.e they have already received one treatment which is not typical of the population) and are therefore not useful for other studies. Additionally, there are two primary responses which a study would explore: acute and chronic. The vast majority of testing is acute toxicity testing because chronic toxicity requires a much longer time period and is often less applicable to humans than acute. Acute studies involve applying very large doses to determine the lowest observed adverse effect level, lowest lethal dose (the dose at which the first animal dies), the LD50 (the dose at which 50% of the population dies), and the absolute lethal dose (the dose at which every administered creature dies). In that regard, the studies primarily focus on how much it takes to kill an animal, and the survivors are later euthanized.
How many animals get put in animal shelters every year from animal cruelty?
I guess it is about 142
Here is a different answer about animal shelters, over 300,000 animals get abused per year, so I'm guessing a little bit more than that. At lowest 1,000.
In what states is dog fighting legal?
Hopefully none because it's animal cruelty.
More info
Cockfighting endures legally in New Mexico, Louisiana and Oklahoma, which is home to more than 40 established back-road pits, and illegally in many other states.
On Capitol Hill, more than 180 House members and more than 40 senators are sponsoring bills to prohibit the interstate shipment of fighting cocks. The sooner the better.

Reasons against keeping animals in captivity?
Animals haven't been put on this earth just to live, no not even live because living is actually having a life and being happy. what if you were trapped in a cage like all your life like most of those animals are? you wouldn't like that to happen to you, so why do that to another living thing that cant even defend itself, and it has feeling but all it can do is just nothing because most cages dont let animals even move a all.
Is it legal to test cosmetics on dogs?
I don't believe so. There are many great cosmetics companies that don't test on animals. Support them and boycott the animal torturers.

Why are animal rights activists against the use of fur and silk?
Because it's an unnecessary waste of life, as well as a potentially painful process for the animal. You don't need fur-synthetic furs work just as well, and to skin an animal for something so incredibly unnecessary is wrong. Plus, before the animals are skinned they are often put into tiny cages, outside, in rainy and/or frigid weather, and are generally abused. if you want to see it for yourself just google things like "fur farms abuse" or go to the PETA website for more information.
What products made from parts of a shark are used by people?

so the answer is around 300 everyday.
ACTUALLY its 267 animals are abused everyday.
A teacher doesnt have to know everything to be a teacher.
Grow up kid. :)
267 or 300 eaither way animals are abused but it really is 267 :)
55
But only 2 of them die.
OK, lots of animals get abused everyday. Around 300+ get abused each day.
We haven't really figured out HOW MANY but we do know that every 10 seconds and animal gets beat. So reading this probably took you from 10-20 seconds. That mean 1-2 animals have gotten beaten while your reading this.
over 6000
What do they do to make bulls mad in bullfights?
The bulls don't get mad in bullfights. They chase the red flag or blanket because it moves-not because red makes them mad. Bulls are actually colorblind.
