Many animals around the world and even in our own country suffer and even face death each day by the hands of a human. The reason that we make these innocent animals suffer and often times die is for food on factory farms, for clothing, in laboratories, and even in the entertainment industry at circuses and in zoos. However there are many organizations around the world that support animal rights and try and preserve and cherish every type of animal’s life. These organizations work each day to provide public education, events and even protests for the protection of all animals. What I will be looking at throughout this course is the fair and ethical treatment of animals. I will look for ways to find products that avoid animal testing, ways to be vegan and other ways of preserving animal rights.
My name is Amanda Avila and I am in my third year of Media and Communication studies at Brock University. I find animal rights to be an extremely interesting topic that has a lot of controversy associated with it. I am an animal lover and I do believe that all animals have rights and the right to life, just as humans do. I am very against animal testing and try and surround myself with products that do not test on animals. I think that being informed of how humans inflict suffering, pain, and death on animals is very important to people of all ages in order to create change for a just society.
“Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are like us." Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are not like us." Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction.” Said by Charles R. Magel
