Animal Rights and Abuse

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.

Hopefully none because it's animal cruelty.

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.

to me it doesn't matter how many.. it could be 1 or 100000000000000.. its the fact any animal is being treated it that way by sad DISGUSTING human being who were bullied at school so they take there anger of on a poor defenseless INNOCENT animal. personally i think anyone who treats an animal in that way should be treated that way.. They should bring back the death sentence for those SICK F*CKS

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.

I don't believe so. There are many great cosmetics companies that don't test on animals. Support them and boycott the animal torturers.

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.

people use sharks for jewelry and soup and plenty more but that's what they mainly use sharks for

200 animals get abused a day. 73,000 animals get abused a year.

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.

yes, they are part of the big company, Unilever so read the back of all soaps and shampoos and stuff that you buy and if they say Unilever at the bottom of the back or where all the writing and information don't buy it. another good thing to do is research on Google which companies test on animals and when your in the shop read the back of the product to see if it is tested on animals

Yes

Plankton, seaweed, polyps they are the creatures that make up coral :-). Hope these were the kind of suggestions that you were looking for. You could say Humans produce water, but its just urine, so. :P

That solely depends on the location. For example, in China (on the Chinese fur farms) several thousands dogs, raccoons, cats, and other small animals die each day.

(see the related link)

about 20million dogs can die just around the world but hey don't get ur hopes up get another dog how bad will it be

There never seems to be enough money to help abused animals. Just there doesn't seem to be enough money to help abused mothers and abused children. It is impossible to put a cost on eliminating animal abuse. Take a trip to a local shelter or animal rescue mission and walk the kennels. It'll tear your heart out. You cannot believe what people do to animals, and only by seeing it through the eyes of the animal services officers, the police or the veterinarians who treat these abused critters do you have an idea of the disgrace we, as a society, live in because the way we, as that society, treat animals that we have bred and raised for no other purpose than to be our companions.

There are just three species of monotremes, or egg-laying mammals.

The natural environment of platypuses and short-beaked echidnas is located in Australia. The long-beaked echidna is found in Papua New Guinea.

There are no benefits of testing products on animals whatsoever

of course it is. of course it is.

The fur ads you might see in magazines and commercials portray fur coats as a symbol of elegance. But these ads fail to show how the original owners of these coats met their gruesome deaths.

Millions of fur-bearing animals including foxes, raccoons, minks, coyotes, bobcats, lynxes, opossums, nutria, beavers, muskrats, otters, and others are killed each year on fur farms by anal and vaginal electrocution and in the wild by drowning, trapping, or beating.

To kill the animals without damaging their fur, trappers usually strangle, beat, or stomp them to death. Animals on fur farms may be gassed, electrocuted, poisoned with strychnine, or have their necks snapped. These methods are not 100 percent effective and some animals "wake up" while being skinned.

Many animals are endangered or extinct because of this practice.

Fur is not 'green'. Marketers of fur products have always compared the bio degradation of fur to only fake fur. It is important to realize that the alternative to fur is any and every fabric and textile there is. Fur is no better than the many fabrics out there that also decompose easily. The term, "biodegradable", remains unregulated in Canada.3 It may be surprising to note that certain types of plastic bags are also being marketed as biodegradable. According to Don Jardine, Director of Pollution Prevention with PEI's Department of Environment, "Companies are using their own standards. It may say biodegrade, even if it takes 15 years." 4 It is also interesting to note that marketers of fur products contradict themselves claiming that fur biodegrades and lasts for generations. How long, exactly, does it take for the chemically soaked and treated fur coats to break down in the landfill - Generations?

Buzz words, such as "organic" or "natural" have also been misleadingly used by the fur trade. To describe a product as "organic" or "natural" is to imply that the production of such product involves neither artificial chemical treatment nor disruption to our eco-system. The washing, drying, tanning, dyeing, and trimming of fur require extensive chemical treatment. The trapping and removing of millions of wildlife from our environment is disruptive to our eco-system. And there is certainly nothing natural or green about cruelly ripping the skins off the animals' backs.

Not purchasing fur from animals will decrease the demand for it and therefore hunter's will have no need to kill animals for their fur.

well, there is plenty that you could do at this age.

For example:

volunteering at a nursing home

cleaning up garbage on the beach (with life guard permission)

volunteering at an animal shelter

In shelters alone, approximately 3-4 million cats and dogs are euthanized every year. It is hard to get a completely accurate answer, because not all shelters report, or are required to report all euthanasias. These numbers are from the Humane Society Website.

Some celebrity activists are Bob Barker, Betty White, Paul McCartney, Angelina Jolie.
