[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper on the issue of wild versus domesticated animals in Jack London's novel. Comparing London's description of the treatment of Buck with contemporary articles on sled dogs, the paper argues that if it is impossible to fully domesticate a sled dog and treat him humanely because of the work they are required to perform and the life they are required to lead, then it would be better for all concerned not to domesticate them at all.

Animal Experimentation: Views From Two Classical Ethics Theorists
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The ethical nature of animal experimentation has long been debated as to whether or not it stands as a necessary element for humanity. After all, the primary -- if not only -- reason animals are utilized in laboratory tests is to further the interests of mankind, often without the least bit of concern for the animals who forfeit their lives in exchange for medical, cosmetic and household product advancements. Classical ethics theorists Emile Durkheim and Immanual Kant may have had similar viewpoints on some issues, but when it came to concerns over the ethical fortitude of animal experimentation, the writer discusses how Durkheim would have befriended the animals' plight long before Kant would have, who adopted a utilitarian concept. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Against Euthanasia For Homeless Animals
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. The value of a life is based upon the worth of its existence; that a global society of animal lovers constantly strives to reduce the number of euthanized dogs and cats taking place on a daily basis speaks to the inherent significance of these sentient creatures. Indeed, the pet overpopulation problem has animal welfare groups scrambling more than ever before for a viable solution to drastically reduce the prevalence of euthanasia for wholly adoptable animals, however, the quick and easy option of killing them continues to stay at least one step ahead of the elusive answer.

Alewife Management And Ecology
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The water sources of late are clearly demonstrating the consequences of overwhelming pollution and encroachment by killing off a significant percentage of alewife, which, in turn, serves to threaten those species that depend upon the fish species as a primary food source. What is being done to correct this drastic situation is too little too late according to critics, who contend that the alewife population, once so plentiful that the only implement necessary to catch them was a spoon, struggles for survival against pollution and man's encroachment upon fast disappearing spawning grounds.

All Animals Are Created Equal But Some Are More Equal Than Others: True Or False?
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. George Orwell's Animal Farm sheds light upon the fact that mankind bases all existence around him by his own barometer of truth. Long-standing within the narrow-minded and arrogant view of the human being has been the concept that no other living creature could possibly rise to the same level of worthiness as man perceives he warrants. Saying on the one hand how all animals are created equal but then contradicting this assertion by claiming some are more equal than others clearly illustrates the harmful duality of how man looks upon the entire animal kingdom, a collection of underlings he deems undeserving of basic respect and humane treatment. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Animal Cruelty And Problems With Humane Society
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Mankind has deceived its furry, finned and scaled friends by its disgraceful disregard for their basic rights as living beings. Nowhere is it written that humans, while perhaps the most developed of all species, are the rulers over their nonspeaking counterparts. Whether or not a person believes animals have the same rights as humans is not the issue: The issue is that animals have the same innate right to a life free of pain, suffering and exploitation as man does, regardless if they are lower on the life chain. Animals have no one to defend them; mankind must adopt the role of their caretaker or prepare to suffer the consequences. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Animal Cruelty In Entertainment
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. Animals provide a significant supply of goods for human beings, not the least of which supports man's entertainment needs. However, in spite of all the various ways animals serve mankind, there has historically been little thought given to their own right to existence, having always been considered little more than a disposable commodity. Whether it is the issue of hunting, circuses, zoos or racing, animals have long provided -- and will likely continue to provide -- humanity with some of its most basic requirements, all at the cost of the animal's own life. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Animal Experimentation: Comparison Of Articles
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The variance of acceptability with regard to animal experimentation is both grand and far-reaching; that scientific research is placed toe-to-toe with cosmetic testing speaks to two entirely different categories that, according to researchers, bear absolutely no resemblance to the useful outcome of what science bestows upon society. Moreover, the issue of rights and sentience comes into play when the concept of animal experimentation is discussed, inasmuch as mankind has routinely refused to recognize – much less grant – the moral respect toward and consideration of pain that he characteristically furnishes his own species. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Animal Facilitated Therapy
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages. Social work theories have repeatedly demonstrated the beneficial connection between pets and people, primarily with those who are confined to residential and nursing homes due to either age or illness. Their lives have been essentially stripped away from them, so it would seem the last thing they need is for their beloved pet to be forcibly taken from them, as well. What scientific studies continue to show is how animals provide physical and emotional benefits just with their mere presence. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
