Do you own anything that is made out of leather? If so, have you ever thought about the animals at the circus and what they are going through, or what leather is made out of? “Animals can communicate quite well. And they do. And generally speaking they are ignored” (Walker, 2012). I believe animals should have rights because they are being abused through entertainment, experimentation, and fashion.
First, in todays world animals are used through entertainment in more ways than one. As children we all went to the circus, zoo, or the fair, we thought that is was fun. We never thought about what the animals are going through. Animals such as elephants, tigers, and lions are expected to perform and follow demanding orders. When elephants do not perform these tasks right they will be punished with a bull hook, whip, or electric pond. Elephants are also expected to have two shackles around their feet which are very heavy and make it hard for them to move around. Tigers and lions will have similar punishment but their collars will be tightened as well. As far as circus and fair animals they travel in small crates for long periods of time. Moreover, when we go to the zoo we are going to view animals that we do not see in everyday life. Little did we know we were going to see distressed animals that are just longing to be free. Zoos are like a prison to animals they are enclosed in tiny spaces they suffer loneness and boredom. Many of the animals at the zoo suffer zoochosis, which is when they rock, sway, or pace endlessly. Another form of animal abuse through entertainment is horse racing. Many horses that race are given drugs that will control the inflammation and enhance their performance. However, they should be resting instead of getting drugs pumped into them. Horses begin training at the age of two; the skeletal muscles are still unprepared to handle the pressures of racing. Jockeys use whips during the races to force the horse to run faster due to the jockeys desire to win the money this lead to the horse suffering a great deal afterwards. In horse racing there comes a time when the horse becomes rundown and retires. Unfortunately the horse will not be going to a better life they will go to slaughterhouse in Mexico or Japan where they are made into dog food and glue. All in all animals right through entertainment needs to be strengthened.
In addition, each day an animal is being experimented on, sitting in their small cold cages all across the country just waiting for the next painful experience they have to encounter. In the United States, 1,000 chimpanzees are experimented on each year (Peta n.d.). The animals that are experimented on are usually smaller animals such as mice, rabbits, primates, cats, and dogs. These animals are shocked, blinded, and poisoned by cruel corporations to test household cleaners and cosmetics. Rabbits have chemicals rubbed into their skin and eyes. Mice and rats are pumped with toxic fumes, dogs are force fed pesticides. Most tests are not required by the law and they often produce inaccurate or misleading
PETA
PETA is the only organization in the United States that works with chimpanzees to test people’s knowledge about the dangers of a disease. And in 2006, the organization released a video exposing the harmful effects of human contact, including the effects of contact with rodents, frogs, squirrels, mice, and birds. This video shows how they inject an insect toxin that destroys brain cells, causing brain tumors and an increased risk of death. PETA’s mission is to be a champion for the welfare of humans, because it believes that human beings can be most affected when they are held responsible. They’re the first group to show the world how to test people’s ability to understand and to learn to deal with this dangerous disease. In 2006, PETA made several significant public campaigns to show that humans can be affected by a disease that causes brain tumors. When the U.S. Senate finally voted to ban porg-breathing drugs in 2005, the FDA ordered that all porg-breathing drugs be given to all Americans. PETA believes the agency’s regulations should be modified so that those who would be affected by the chemicals are given the best way to learn to stop taking them, but that they should NOT be used to treat cancer patients.
PETA and PETA Research
Since the beginning of 2007, PETA continues to test chimpanzees for HIV and HIV-2, developing an array of new techniques that can help reduce AIDS in chimpanzees. We help human organizations understand how difficult AIDS can be in chimpanzees. Our work in chimpanzee research supports human rights, including the right to life, health, and the right to practice freedom and independence in the wild. Our work has been shown to create and nurture a healthy and successful community that respects the rights of all its people; protects their natural and human health; fosters mutual interest and respect, and helps them understand the complex interactions of animals and man. We also train all of our staff members to ensure there is a safe and humane environment for human beings to live. All PETA’s projects are taught. In 2007, the United States introduced new research goals, which we believe strengthen all of our ethical and human-rights laws against scientific misconduct. These guidelines will lead to our elimination of many of the major international anti-scientific practices. PETA’s programs continue to increase as our programs grow. We continue to work to address major challenges facing the human resource sector, including low-paying occupations, abuse of animal rights protections, and exploitation of human human resources in order to protect all human life within and between groups. PETA’s missions include protecting the environment, human rights, and economic and human health, providing information and advocacy to promote sustainable and responsible development,
