Evolution is gradual. The changes that come with it are long lasting and in addition have long term effects on different morals. Just like anything else, morals too have evolved over time. For instance, in the beginning what used to be right and sound can never be said to be so today. It is not so long ago that man walked on all fours. Nowadays, such a scenario would be treated as medical case. When people are born, they have an empty brain that is ready to take in everything that is on display. This through the surroundings (cultural beliefs) ...

The Black Cat short story is a narration of a man’s story that revolves around his pets and how he treats them. This man was since being a boy a calm person with a great liking for animals. In any case, he was made fun of for his disposition in his early age. The man owned several animals that his wife also endeared. However, his attitude and deep affection for these animals changed so much when he began to indulge in alcohol.

Philosophy

The argument is based on the discrimination between people, and this argument has been extended to non-human animals which are as much terrestrial beings as humans are. The liberation movements have yielded golden results in different parts of the globe, be it the Apartheid or the ones that fought against foreign imperialism. Women got their right, but they had to wage a long standing battle to be finally considered at par with men. The darkly skinned people had to snatch their rights, and so was the case with those countries that were ruled by foreign power. The subject in question ...

World For All is an association that cares for abandoned and sick animals and forwards animal adoption or re-homing of those that have been left in the streets. During their 2013 campaign, they posted an ad that definitely draws attention for more reasons than one. It is a black and white ad with a grey background. It shows a man at the edge of a black rooftop with his hands and feet in a position that shows his intention to throw himself off the roof, while his leashed dog seems to be pushing the man towards the opposite direction and prevent his jumping. Although ...

Human beings are two-legged social animals. Unlike other animals, human beings have responsibilities. Besides all cruel and animal-like behaviors of human beings, we have sixth sense, which is not found in other species on earth. Still other species have senses but they have one to five senses that human beings also possess. The sixth sense shows ourselves different from other beings and gives us the ability to think and that leads us to innovate new technologies, which may harm the environment. Because of the rapid advancement in technology, we become the reason for the destruction of many livings on ...

Many of us grew up watching dolphin and shark shows and have good memories of watching these shows. However, there is the realization today that placing these gentle animals in captivity does not help their cause, and is perhaps also dangerous for humans as well. The main thesis of this short paper, therefore is that the captivity of cetaceans such as dolphins and killer whales is unethical because this does more harm than good on both the animals and on humans.
Inhumane Treatment of Animals Results in Dangerous Behavior The animals are treated inhumanely, especially before a show. According ...

With its origin in the ancient times; hunting is still widely practiced all across the world. Some do it for fun, few do it for adventure and now the target is to reduce overpopulation of certain animal species by hunting. But, is this ethical? Hunting is one of those controversial topics that have no possible solution but continue to plague modern society. Human rights activists are totally against hunting. There are several pros and cons of hunting and having researched about all of them, I strongly condemn hunting to be a feasible way for eradication of overpopulated animal species. Humanity ...

Since the ancient history, people have been wearing clothes made from leather and animal fur. One cannot imagine a cave man without a small piece of leather hanging around his waist. Then, it was the only material that they could use for making clothes. However, since the modern ages, leather and fur coats have become the synonyms for wealth and the branding mark for many fashion designers. On the other hand, the planet is facing with the extinction of animal species that are killed only for its fur or skin. Leather and fur coats should be outlawed so that the civilization ...

Everything in nature is interconnected and people could not live without the surrounding environment. But, being a part of nature, people demonstrate cruel and merciless attitude toward it. Animals play an important role in nature. They are essential not only because they give food and valuable fur, but also because almost all of the animals are really beautiful and interesting.
Cutting down forests or polluting the water in the rivers, many people unwittingly destroy wildlife habitat. Because of the economic human activity and immoderate hunting some animals have disappeared forever, and many others have become rare. Every year there ...

There are a large number of worthwhile charities to which to donate money. There are none out there that as worthy of a small donation than the American Society to Prevent Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). We hear a lot in the news lately about animals who are neglected or abused -- animals that are abandoned, forced to fight each other, starved, or beaten.
Thus, to be humane means that it is our responsibility to help our relatives in the animal kingdom who are unable to speak for themselves -- namely cats and dogs. The ASPCA is an organization whose mission is ...

In the current state of affairs, most of the food consumed in many parts of the developed world has its origins in factory farms. Factory farms seem to be the modern method of ensuring that industrial principles are applied to the provision of the contents of a meal. The main driving force in factory production is ensuring highest production using the fastest and most efficient method. However, factory farming does not really offer those benefits that it seeks to provide; rather, it is an avenue for adverse effects on communities and the societies in general. This paper will seek to ...

Human beings should treat animals as living things with their goals and interest. While consciousness between species is ever equal between two different species, human beings should recognize the animals have dignity, and our value system should take that into consideration for pets and livestock. Outside of an ethical question, meat diets are more taxing on the environment those vegetarian diets. Another question in human treatment of animals is how animals should be treated in experimental situations and what species of animals should be used.
For much of human consideration, ethics was not a discipline that extended human compassion ...

Introduction

Recent years have seen the debate on animal rights intensify. Many have questioned whether animals possess any right and whether humans have the moral right to exploit animals any way they like. Advancements in the fields of genetics and medical research has only helped to intensify the debate on animal rights. Most of the argument for or against animal rights have based on concepts of philosophy. Three of the authors who written about this controversial issue are Peter Singer, Carl Cohen and Tom Reagan. The three have written pieces that explore these issue using different approaches. This paper aims ...

Introduction

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is an American organization for animal rights. It gives voice against four major issues regarding treatment of animals such as fur farming, using animals for entertainment, factory farming, and animal testing. PETA also fights against eating animals, killing of animals, keeping chained dogs, bullfighting, and cock fighting. Even though the organization’s intention is good to save the life of the animal, PETA is often considered as unrealistic and extremist. PETA states that creating the institution of breeding, as “pets” are selfish. According to Newkirk, who led PETA, the word “friends” ...

This paper argues about the shutdown of SeaWorld; SeaWorld is a mammal theme park, located in the United States. Sea World is a theme park dedicated to the underwater world. Unlike other parks, Sea World is not divided into zones. Here each attraction has its own name and theme. SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment maintains one of the largest collections of marine animals in the United States. It provides care to as many as 67,000 animals including marine and terrestrial. In the wild, marine animals live in large social groups and swim up to 100 miles a day. However, at SeaWorld, Orcas ...

Introduction

Munera was an ancient repetitive Rome game which involved gladiators. Rome was a known ancient entertainment city in the world engaging in many forms of entertainment and games, which included Munera. The significance of manure was that of brutal entertainment of the emperors and the crowd's thirst of blood. The games had social significance and were a means of communication and sacrificial rituals. The paper seeks to approach Munera games as a text and bring to light clear implications of the games. Focusing on the way Munera was used as sacrificial rituals, funeral and also as a representation of masculinity in Rome. The ...

For many years, different tests have been performed on humans or using humans as test subjects. Human testing provides better results as compared to carrying out tests with animals. Humans and animals are by no means exactly identical: There is also the argument that a drug’s reaction in a human’s body is to a certain extent different from the reaction in an animal. The main criticism at this point is that certain people believe that animal testing is not reliable. Following on that criticism is the idea that when conducting tests, since animals are in a strange surroundings, the animals will ...

Human beings, many philosophers such as Kant and Locke have argued, have certain unalienable rights and freedoms. It must be noted in any study of the philosophy of human rights that there have existed cultures where some or many human beings were not granted those rights. Obvious examples is the slavery the permeated Western civilizations concurrently with the drafting of documents like the US Constitution. From this, we can arrive at the viewpoint that just because a being deserves protection under a well-developed morality, does not mean that these persons are being protected. Indeed, history is filled with instances when people ...

People have a unique quality of destroying everything that is precious to them. The most precious things that they have are nature and inimitable species that inhabit it. Unlike animals people are used to killing not only for purposes of nourishment, but also for the sake of entertainment. If not killed, animals get caught only for them to be placed in cramped cages well beyond their natural habitat. Thousands of species end up being exterminated for jewelry, souvenirs or being kept in captivity for life in places, such as amusement and theme parks, private and public zoos. Human authoritarian regime ...

Pit bulls are one of the breed dogs with the worst reputations. Their reputations are because of the reports from media. Sadly there are countless stories of pit bulls attack people. There are stories of dogfights with pit bulls being in them. Even sadder, all the facts are not presented.
Mentioning getting the facts straights bring to this critical but friendly reminder. It brings these rudimentary questions. Plus throughout this paper it will bring rudimentary questions to engage the readers to critical think and to keep an open-minded.
When humans are judged there been many times we ...

According to the MacMillan dictionary, an animal is “any living thing that is not human.” Accepting this definition as fact, there should be no debate whether or not humans are animals; as I argue this fact I will present further proof that at no time since the world exists humans were ever animals.
The fact that many scientists refused to accept the Bible as authentic, has caused many debates about humans’ origin. Many scientists believe that humans are an evolvement from a one cell organism and over many millions years of changing they finally become human. The more scientists ...

Human beings, by nature, are omnivorous. Therefore, they feed on entirely everything edible, from vegetable products to meat substances, like animals. For a long time, however, the dice has always dictated what is necessary for human beings to eat if they are to live a healthy and strong life. This creates the concept of a balanced diet. Over the previous years, scholars have emerged with certain restrictions to alleviate certain illness and maintain a healthy diet for human beings. One controversial food element is meat. While others think that meat is not essential in the diet (Burnie, Encarta), many others still believe that it ...

Umberto Eco talks about the idea of creating an experience for the public. He talks about the way the phenomenon shows itself specifically in America. While Eco has mixed feelings on if hyperactive, reality is good or not. Eco believes that hyperactive reality shows itself in America’s portrayal of history, nature architecture, and entertainment among other things. According to Eco believes that Americans like entertainment and therefore they intertwined hyperactive reality into our lives.
In the American’s portrayal of history, they make always tend to portray reality in whatever they do. Instead, of designing simple things, ...

Not many years ago, being vegetarian was almost cultic; however as society becomes more educated about the meat it consumes, more and more people are embracing the vegetarian life-style. The main reason for this conversion is the quest for longer, healthier life.
When my siblings and I were growing up our parents did not have much money, therefore we did not always have meat; sometime three or five times per month. Despite the fact that our mother was a good cook and knew how to make vegetables taste good. we thought we were depraved going without meat. The one ...

I intend to discuss the ethical implications of euthanasia throughout the course of this essay. Firstly I will be touching on the German philosopher Kant regarding his theories on personhood and consciousness in terms of people in vegetative states such as Terri Schiavo. I then will be moving on to broader issues of euthanasia such as the right to die and the legality of assisted suicide refusal of treatment the utilitarian perspective and the Nicomachean ethics of Aristotle. The purpose of which is to determine whether or not euthanasia is an ethical approach to incurable illnesses or disabilities which ...

Introduction

Animal testing also called animal research or animal experimentation refers to utilization of non-human animals in the experiments. Roughly, twenty million animals are actually killed or experimented on annually. Three fourths of these animals are experimented or killed for either medical purposes or testing various products. Animal testing is conducted in the medical schools, universities, defense establishments, pharmaceutical companies, and commercial facilities, which provide animal testing services to the industry. It involves pure research like developmental biology, behavioral studies, genetics, as well as the applied research like xenotransplantation, biomedical research, drug testing, and toxicology tests that include cosmetics testing. ...

Antibiotics usage in farm animals is rather heavy and extensive and has been a characteristic practice of farmers in Europe and North America for some time. Based on the health hazards that usage of antibiotics on livestock pose to human health, they should completely be banned from animal feed. A good number of pork, beef, and poultry eaten by humans have small levels of antibiotics. This is an outcome of efforts to improve quality, as well as quantity of farms output. The United States utilizes more than 29 million pounds of antibiotics in farm animals per annum, which accounts for ...

Animal research has been used for a multitude of reasons. Few consumers realize that their money is going to fund animal research when in reality both tax dollars and charitable donations and more everyday seemingly harmless actions often channel substantial amounts of consumer dollars towards animal testing and research. Many citizens would be disturbed to learn the extraordinary cruelty perpetrated on millions or animals a year in the name of science. In this modern age, animal research is all but obsolete with higher quality and more efficient methods of testing available. So why does animal research still persist? By exploring the ...

Evaluation is the biological change in the populations inherited characteristics. Charles Darwin theorized that evolutionary biology is the sole result that led to the modern man. In his theory, he established that the diversity in population could have only resulted from the change in inherited characteristics. To better enhance understanding of this theory, Darwin theorized that the change can take place from varied levels, from species level, organism level, individual level and molecule level. Thus in this theory, Darwin established that man must have evolved from a common ancestor by a speciation and extinction. To completely live up to his argument, ...

I have never thought in my life having a cloned animal. In this case, walking in the city streets with a cloned pet, yet the natural pet is at home. Technology is taking the world at a tremendous pace, whereby people are left wondering what exactly is going on. Cloning is one form of genetic engineering, whereby an organism of an exact copy of the other is created. The issue of animal cloning has led to unending debates. For example, when dolly the sheep was created in the year 1997, and died in 2003, led to tremendous questions on the ethical and ...

Vegetarianism, in essence, is the voluntary abstinence of a person from eating meat products such as poultry, red meat as well as sea foods. Vegetarianism may also involve the abstention from animal slaughter by products such as animal derived gelatin or rennet. Vegetarianism (lacto) first records can be attributed to the ancient Greece and India during the 6th Century BCE (Spencer 34). Vegetarianism is actually a very popular individual choice for many families or individuals. Vegetarianism has been shown to have tremendous health benefits as a practice, and is often employed as a more ethical and sustainable diet than carnivorous diets. It is a ...

Vegetarianism, in essence, is the voluntary abstinence of a person from eating meat products. Vegetarianism has been shown to have tremendous health benefits as a practice, and is often employed as a more ethical and sustainable diet than carnivorous diets. It is a preferable lifestyle compared to being carnivorous or omnivorous, as it also means taking a stand against animal slaughter.

There are many different facets of vegetarianism, but the activity itself has been found in many cultures throughout human history. In Western cultures, in particular, it is finding significant support, as more and more people in America and other countries choose to eat ...

Vegetarianism, in essence, is the voluntary abstinence of a person from eating meat products. There are many different facets of vegetarianism, but the activity itself has been found in many cultures throughout human history. In Western cultures, in particular, it is finding significant support, as more and more people in America and other countries choose to eat only vegetables (and optionally dairy). Vegetarianism has been shown to have tremendous health benefits as a practice, and is often employed as a more ethical and sustainable diet than carnivorous diets. Because of these reasons, vegetarianism is a preferable lifestyle compared to being carnivorous or omnivorous.

The plot of The Epic of Gilgamesh deals a lot with the world of nature. Considering the fact that Enkidu, the best friend and companion of the main character, was created as a wild man and lived in the forest before encountering Gilgamesh, it seems especially interesting to speculate on the question of how the natural world was presented in this epic poem.
In the beginning of the poem when the reader comes across the first mention of Enkidu, one may notice that the author opposes the ingenuousness of Enkidu to the habits and actions of Gilgamish who belongs to ...

The natural reproductive process involves the fusion of genetic materials from one female and one male parent through sexual contact. The offspring produced bears the combined genetic materials of his/her parents, which is unique on its own. Now, with the advent of technology, an individual may now be produced from a single parent without the need for sexual contact. Cloning is the process or technique used to create an organism that is 100% genetically identical to its parent. The pioneering era of cloning was started in 1952 by biologists Robert Briggs and Thomas King, wherein they attempted to “clone” a frog ...

Horse slaughter is a practice of slaughtering horses for their meat and then selling this for consumption by humans. This practice has been the subject of a heated debate in the recent past to the extent that, at one moment, all the three horse slaughter plants in the United States had to be shut down. A vast majority of the American population opposes horse slaughter according to several surveys done by professionals. Just like other domestic animals like dogs, horses are perceived to be man’s companion. Because of this and their use in sporting and as working animals it is ...

Introduction

Vegetarianism is the practice of consuming plant-based diets such as fruits, vegetables, without or with the inclusion of eggs or dairy products, and with the ruling out of meat including poultry, seafood and red meat. At the same time, abstaining from animal slaughter by-products, such as animal-derived gelatin and rennet, may as well be put into practice but vegetarianism may be implemented for diverse reasons. Numerous American skeptics refrain from eating meat out of reverence for better healthy life but such moral enthusiasm has been codified under a variety of religious viewpoints, together with the perception of animal rights. But ...

Animal rights’ is an issue that is ignored and assumed by human beings who consider them insignificant creatures. Tom Regan, in his article about animal rights, takes us through some aspects of human and animal life and the way we ought to treat them. According to him, what has mostly been considered abuse of the animals is a small portion of the root cause of such issues. He emphasizes on the fact that animal abuse is beyond slaughtering them for food or using them for sports or such kind of things. The root cause of all the abuse that animals ...

Animals Testing Essay

Arguably, animal testing has been an emotive subject with a lot of ethical, moral, and medical debate, and controversy for many decades. What we should all ask is, does the payback obtained by human beings from animal experimentation justify the inhumane, and harm caused to animals? Billions of animals in the world are killed in laboratories for experimental purposes (Monamy 17). Additionally, most of the animals die in the process of medical research, cosmetic experiments, as well as commercial research. Therefore, animal experimentation is harmful, inhumane, and cruel, and it should be banned.

Reasons why animal experimentation should be banned

Undoubtedly, if animal experimentation is exceptionally efficient, ...

Is It Appropriate for Humans to Intervene in Nature with Animals?

Nature was created and functions according to its unique laws and regularities. Although scientists claim that they have already revealed many of them, they admit that there is much more to understand and discover. Many of us wonder why there is cruelty in nature and how could God let it happen. But in fact, we should just change our attitude to this, as if we don’t understand something or disapprove of it, it doesn’t mean that it is wrong, or shouldn’t be this way. Only those for whom nature was created and by ...

Maintenance of ethical principles is essential to the sustainability of the globe. In fact, lack thereof compromises the development of humanity, and this situation could result in unpleasant behavior. With this in mind, it is worth acknowledging the fact that the current controversies associated with the inhumane treatment of animals are justifiable. Specifically, the process of preparing animals for consumption is primarily based on the final presentation to the consumer and not the welfare of the animals. As such, this situation questions the ethical principles of the individuals who consume meat. According to McClelland (4), inhume treatment of animals ...

Animal testing is something that has come under the spotlight recently. Many consider it as an unethical approach to the testing of new drugs and products. It has led to the division of society in ways that suggests the need for the end of the practice. The purpose of this paper is to critically analyze and review the practice and draw conclusions on the different stakeholder positions and procedures.

Why Animal Testing is Controversial

Animal testing is viewed as something that has some negative moral connotations. This is because it implies taking a risk on an animal as a means of asserting whether a ...

Nowadays the problem of animal slaughtering is becoming more and more pressing. More and more people around the world make a choice to become vegan and not to be a consumer of the industry that promotes cruelty. However, the demand for meat and products of animal origin is still very high. The rights of animals are not preserved to the extent they should be. People forget that animals are living beings and that they can feel pain and suffering just as humans do. If people do not want to give up food they should reduce their consumption of any ...

Animal cruelty refers to the infliction of pain to which causes harm to the animals. This is done by human beings intentionally or unintentionally. It can be in self defense or not. However, some people do apply such pain to animals for some specific gain. This may include killing them for food purposes or to get their by products like fur, hides and skins among others.
Animal cruelty does take place all over the world. However, there are laws that would apply to protect the animals from such painful treatments. These laws differ from one country to the ...

Zoos are created to keep animals for study purposes and to protect endangered species. However, it is observed that earning money has become sole purpose of zoo owners. Zoos take all steps to attract public and to increase their revenues without considering safety, comfort and physical and mental health of animals. Advocates of zoos claim that zoos should not be removed because it allows people to understand and study animals. Opponents of zoos claim that zoos should be banned because zoos are not animals’ natural homes and captivity upsets animals physically as well as mentally. This paper discusses that ...

I. Introduction
Peter Singer, in his article on All Animals are Equal, have arrived at an inference that both humans and non-human species have an equal consideration of interest, which is know as non-speciecism or the unbiased treatment of other species. He expounded on the idea by presenting both sides of the arguments when he said that racists, just like speciecisists, violate the consideration of equality principle when they are biased or prejudicial in their treatment of another race or species. He inferred that because of the greater weight that a particular race or species give to their own ...

The subject of animal testing remains a moral issue that draws different reactions globally. In essence, it entails the utilization of non-human animals in the experiment that seeks to manipulate the variables that influence their biological system under study. In the recent years, animal experiments have increasingly been adopted as research tools by various scientists and research agencies. They entail the use of live animals such as rats, rabbits, cats, dogs, sheep, and cattle among others. These are considered important in experimentations aimed at studying behavioral studies, genetics, biology, and developmental biology (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). ...

Are Pit Bulls A Threat or Family Friendly

Dogs are often times called man’s best friends as they tend to get along well with humans. They can be very gently and friendly as well as loving and caring. Other times the same species can attack, create mishaps and reek havoc in a person’s life. Pit Bulls are descendants of the Bull dog or Bull Terrier. Over a hundred years ago they were known to work on farms and help with herding bulls but they still had a gentleness about them. They were later on used in the homes to comfort children as they are known ...

When considering the problems of importing exotic animals from foreign countries, it is necessary to evaluate the laws that currently exist, and determine whether or not they provide an effective means of safeguarding the animals in question. In this essay, it will be argued that the laws that are in place at this time do not protect animals from mistreatment in an adequate manner, nor do they effectively prevent the occurrence of disease.

One of the biggest reasons for importing exotic animals into the country is for private ownership, which is an ethically dubious practice that places the welfare ...

Evaluate an Argument and Create a Counter Argument

Singer’s Argument
In the article by Peter Singer, All Animals are Equal, he makes an argument that we should all respect animals both human and non-human. In this article, Singer states that speciesism is the attitude of bias towards a one’s species and have an opposite bias towards members of other species. In the article he some claims; capacity for suffering is an immediate prerequisite for rights; equal consideration is the basis of equality and equality is a theme that is based on morality but not facts. The thesis in Singer’s argument is that we need to ...

In the final discussion on the use of animalization in the literary classics will be on “Madness and Civilization” written by Michael Foucault. The piece is another poignant example, along with “Diary of a Madmen” and “The Metamorphosis,” of how writers have used the historical comparison of animalization in regard to mentally troubled individuals. I will compare and contrast how Foucault uses the concept of animalization in his writing compared to the writer of the other two stories. Foucault’s story differs greatly from the previous authors, as it takes the reader on a type of journey through the changes in ...

Primates constitute over two hundred species of all living things. These are considered to be the closest relatives to human beings, in the evolution hierarchy. They vary in size, their habitats and their geographical location, whereby they are distributed throughout different geographical locations and habitats like forests, woodlands, savannahs, and high-altitude grasslands. Primates have some distinct characteristics, which include short snout, nails instead of claws, hands and feet with five digits, a relatively large brain as well as an increased reliance on vision rather than scent (Onishi and Namakichi 9).
Because of their widespread distribution in places of habitat, ...

Species discrimination (syn. speciesism) is the infringement of the interests or rights of one species by another, based on the belief in their own superiority. The concept and the appropriate philosophical concept emerged and were developed in the works of philosophers Richard Ryder and Peter Singer. In accordance with this concept, the contemporary human society carries out such discrimination against animals. In accordance with this philosophy, the presumption of human superiority over other species are unjustified.
There are two directions of upholding the rights of animals. Utilitarians repeat after Bentham that moral beings deserve attention because of the sensitivity, ...

Water is one of the essential components of life. Without water, life becomes difficult, for the people, plants as well as animals. Water exists in different kinds. It exists as a precipitate, liquid, solid (ice), or even water vapor (gas). Water plays various functions in the world; it is the source of life, upon which all living things depend on for survival.
Water wastage, as well as the increased levels of water pollution, is a major issue in the world today. Various water bodies have been made dirty and even polluted through different means. Wastes, both industrial and domestic ...

Deep Water Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is one among many spills that have become history because of its horrific effect on animal ...

The Definition of Genetically Modified Food (GMF)

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are organisms that through the introduction of foreign genes genetic code given new properties.
GMOs are divided into the following types:
- Genetically modified organisms;
- Genetically modified animals;
- Genetically modified plants.
Each animal and plant has thousands of different characters. For each feature meets certain gene, which is a small segment of the molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). If you remove the gene responsible for the appearance of any sign, the sign itself and disappear, and if we introduce a new gene, the animal or plant there a new quality.
