 To end all human "exploitation" of animals -

this includes, but is not limited to, raising

and slaughtering of livestock for human or
animal consumption, eating meat, hunting,
using animals for any medical or veterinary
research, zoos (regardless of how well
managed), circuses, rodeos, horseshows,
dogshows, animals performing in TV
commercials, shows or movies (regardless
of how well treated any of the above are),
guide-dogs for the blind, police dogs, search
& rescue dogs, and the practice of owning pets.
 Organizations: PETA (People For The Ethical
Treatment Of Animals)
 To prevent suffering and cruelty to animals. And to provide care and
good homes for pets in need. This often includes, but is not limited
to, the funding and running of animal shelters (to provide a sanctuary
for abandoned, abused, homeless, or unwanted pets, and to place them
in good homes where possible, provide painless euthanasia for those
that cannot be adopted, and to educate the public about the need for
spaying/neutering their pets to prevent more surplus animals ending
up in shelters), enforcement of anti-cruelty statutes (where their
authority permits),nitiating, lobbying for, and monitoring enforcement
of legislation to ensure more humane standards of care for livestock,
laboratory animals, performing animals, and pets

Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals)

 Farm animal treatment is a public concern,
however,
 Fewer Americans have lived on a farm
 Most people don’t know what farm animals are like
 Farm animals are not pets
 Farm animals are not characters in the books and
movies we see
 Confining animals to crates or pens is more
common but in more humane ways
 Hogs used to be stacked on top of one another…the
top hog would be fed quality grains while the hogs
below would feast of the breakdown of the above
animals
 cat with implanted electrodes. Cats are popular subjects of
neurophysiology experiments because vivisectors think that their
brain has similarities with the human brain.
 Is confinement more efficient use of resources
or is it cruel and stressful?
 Should scientist be tinkering with animals or
are they simply improving them?
 Should these and other practices be regulated
by law?
 The American Veterinary Medical Association
Policy on Animal Welfare and Animal Rights
describes animal welfare as:
 "... a human responsibility that encompasses all
aspects of animal well-being, including proper
housing, management, nutrition, disease
prevention and treatment, responsible care,
humane handling, and, when necessary,
humane euthanasia."
 Animal testing has helped to develop vaccines
against diseases like rabies, polio, measles,
mumps, rubella and TB.
 Antibiotics, HIV drugs, insulin and cancer
treatments rely on animal tests. Other testing
methods aren't advanced enough.
 Operations on animals helped to develop organ
transplant and open-heart surgery techniques
 Human life has greater intrinsic value than
animal life.
 Legislation protects all lab animals from cruelty
or mistreatment.
 Millions of animals are killed for food every
year - if anything, medical research is a more
worthy death.
 Few animals feel any pain as they are killed
before they have the chance to suffer.
 Advanced made from the scientific research
conducted at Oxford include the discovery of
penicillin, treatments for hemophilia and
childhood leukemia, and the development and
trials of vaccines for meningitis in children.
Oxford has helped contribute to our
understanding of heart disease, cancer, bird flu,
infectious diseases and numerous other
illnesses. And if we are able to continue our
research with animals, we can help find cures
for these illnesses.
 Encourages proper care
 Humane treatment
 Reduce stress to maintain profits
 Humans have more rights than animals
 Goes beyond welfare
 Animals have rights equal to humans
 Animals should not be used for food, clothing,
research, etc…
