When Casey’s protective suit burst while they were in the laboratory, he was then infected, and as Robbie tried to draw his blood, his tremors caused her to stick herself with the contaminated needle and she too became ill. The final person to become infected with the air borne strain was Colonel Daniels, when he removed his mask at his ex-wife’s bedside, but then he later received the antiserum from the original host, the monkey. BioSafety level 1 was designated for
"The Hot Zone” by Richard Preston is about a disease that has been spread throughout different areas and countries. The disease originated in Germany when a fleet of infected monkeys were let out into the wild. The disease spread rapidly and once people realized what was going on, they began rounding up monkeys to test them. Animals should not be used for scientific experiments because the experiments may harm the animals and spread the disease among the testers. In the Hot Zone, scientists collected monkeys and began testing them to check for any traces or signs of viruses and/ or diseases.
[animal-testing.procon.org] Researchers in Aston University have made it known that it is not worth taking the lives of these animals for testing, because the things we’re trying to make happen with human bodies is very different from the animal body. The anatomic, metabolic, and cellular differences between animals and people make animals poor models for human beings. There is a big percentage from the 1950’s up till now that animal testing is flawed by not being correct when it is given to the people it is for. So why not just stop the animal experiments that are not just killing, but also torturing the animals.
This system is flawed as it was never designed to ensure animal welfare. The animals are being whipped, their heads beaten onto concrete blocks and their throats only half-slit and died lingering deaths on these voyages. We, however, can change this. Now, in support of passing this bill to end live animal exports, I would like to present several ethical reasons why we should look at moving away from this cruel treatment of our animals. Firstly, the fate of our animals during transportation.
(pgs- 56-61) 82: “Works of damnation cannot lead to salvation.” The Bodhisattva and Hui-yen came across a monster when they came to The River of Sands. This monster was originally a marshal and because he had broken a crystal dish was banished and transformed into a Monster upon the orders of the Jade Emperor. The Bodhisattva questioned the monster because he was being punished for a sin and is was still committing sins by eating travellers who happen to pass by the river. “If the Government gets hold of you they’ll flog you to death; if the Buddhists get hold of you they’ll starve you to death.” The monster replied telling the Bodhisattva that it didn’t matter how many travellers he ate or the fact that he ate them because he would still be stuck in the river trying not to starve either way. “Heaven helps those who mean well” The Bodhisattva made the monster an offer and told him about how they were on a quest to find a seeker of scriptures.
Animal Liberation By: Peter Singer “Animal Liberation” is a novel highlighting the ignorance of people about what animals go through in order to fulfill whatever humans need. Whether it is meals or experimentation, millions of animals suffer each year. The author really goes the extra mile to try to make the reader see his point of view by being descriptive in his explanations of the types of pain animals feel. For example, Bunnies are used to test products for eye irritation by placing them in a chamber with only their heads exposed and dropping the product into their eyes. The eyes of the bunnies often become irritated, infected, and even blind.
The scientist quickly discovered that they died from poisoning of the insecticides. Most of the birds experienced a loss of balance, convulsions, tremors, and death. The scientists decided to dig a little deeper and found out that the birds ate worms, which were infected by the poison. A scientist in Illinois
Animal testing should be banned- Point1- Many animals are killed and severely injured every year from animal testing, and as we don’t “own” these creathures, we do not have the rights to take animals away from the nature. Point2- Animal testings are unnecessary and delivers inaccurate results. Point3- Animal testing can cause flu and diseases due to insanitary conditions in the lab and cage. Animal testing is among the most disturbing test ever done and must be internationally banned. Large number of animals are killed in the laboratory every day.
Contagious diseases like smallpox, measles, chickenpox, rubella, polio, rabies, mumps, etc. were brought into control due to vaccines made by carrying out experiments on animals. About 99% of the human genes are similar to that of the chimpanzees as well as a few other monkeys. Thus, experimenting with these animals gives scientists an idea about their possible reaction in the human body. As it is immoral to experiment on humans, chimpanzees and other monkeys remain the only option.
It is inhumane to keep animals in small enclosures like that where they wouldn’t even get room to stretch their legs or get the chance to behave like they would naturally in the wild. The more intelligent animals (dogs, cats, pigs, primates etc) suffer from severe cases of loneliness because they lack the rights to run around and be free. How would you feel if you could not run around in a free environment? My second argument is using animals for testing cosmetics. It is estimated that over 1 million animals are killed due to companies that test their products on animals and those companies tell us that they use animals to test the safety of their products.
