Animal Testing Millions of animals are used for research every year.
20
How much animal research is done? There were about two and three quarter million scientific procedures using animals in 2003. The exact figure was 2,791,781. In the United Kingdom

22
Government Mandated Testing A lethal poisoning test invented around the time of World War I--in which animals are force-fed increasing doses of a chemical until they die--is still the single most common animal test in use today. Government regulations still require chemical manufacturers to squirt burning chemicals into rabbits' eyes and onto their shaved skin. None of these animal tests has ever been formally proved to be relevant to or able to accurately predict human health effects.
24
Numbers relate to regulated procedures on animals in Great Britain in 2003 1. 85% Rats, mice and other rodents. All specially bred laboratory species 2. 11% Fish, amphibians, reptiles and birds (including many fertilized hen's eggs) 3. 1% Small mammals other than rodents, mostly rabbits and ferrets 4. 2.7% Sheep, cows, pigs and other large mammals 5. 0.3% Dogs and cats. Specially bred for research. No strays or unwanted pets can be used 6. 0.17% Monkeys, such as marmosets and macaques. Chimpanzees, orangutans and gorillas have not been used in this country for over 20 years and their use is now banned.
25
“Doesn't the law protect animals from cruelty?” There is no law in the U.S. that prohibits any animal experiment, no matter how frivolous or painful. The Animal Welfare Act (AWA) is very weak and poorly enforced, and it does not protect rats and mice (the most common victims of animal experiments), cold-blooded animals, birds, or animals who are traditionally used for food. Under the AWA, animals can be starved, electrically shocked, driven insane, or burned with a blowtorch—as long as it’s done in a clean laboratory.

Animal testing lead to human deaths Asbestos and Cancer Year that the carcinogenic effects of asbestos were suspected, based on clinical (human) studies: 1907 Year that the New York Academy of Sciences assured people that animal studies indicated that there was nothing to fear from asbestos: 1965 Year that the EPA recommended an immediate ban on asbestos: 1986
32
Polio “The work on prevention was long delayed by the erroneous conception of the nature of the human disease based on misleading experimental models of disease in monkeys.” ― Dr. Albert Sabin (scientist credited with development of polio vaccine, along with Dr. Jonas Salk)
33
Penicillin “How fortunate we didn’t have these animal tests in the 1940s, for penicillin would probably never been granted a license, and possibly the whole field of antibiotics might never have been realized.” Sir Alexander Fleming (scientist credited with discovering penicillin)
34
FDA and Animal Testing FDA Study: Of 198 new medications introduced to the market between 1976 to 1985, 52 percent were either withdrawn or relabeled because of severe side effects not predicted through animal studies.
35
Rats and Mice Studies conducted on mice and rats found that 46 percent of chemicals found to be cancer-causing in rats were not cancer- causing in mice. Of 20 compounds known not to cause cancer in humans, 19 caused cancer in mice.

The State of the Fur Industry The total export value of the fur industry in Canada has been steadily increasing, from CAN$185,309,841 in 2001 for "raw furskins" to CAN$ 242,556,390 in 2005. For processes/tanned skins, the export value has risen from CAN$ 216,081,324 in 2001 CAN$ 286,760,595 in 2005, according to Industry Canada.
39
Price of seal Pelt The value of the seal skin exports (see table above) is about 5% of the total value of the Canadian fur industry. in 2001, Canada's fur industry was valued at $335 million, and seal fur was a small portion of Canada's fur trade. The prices of seal pelts have been rising in the past couple years. In 2003, they sold for approximately CAN$45. In 2005, they sold for about CAN$70

JLodown.com J. Lo knows what animals who are killed for their skins endure-PETA has contacted her with letters and videos no less than a dozen times. Lopez may try to convince her fans that her rabbit-trimmed jackets are a must-have, but what she won't tell you is that bunnies killed for fur coats scream as they are skinned alive! Animals used for their skins endure prolonged, painful, early deaths.

Then I smelled a rat….

One of my co-workers had a tasty lunch at a local Chinese restaurant. Upon returning back to work, one hour later she began to vomit uncontrollably. She was finally rushed to the hospital via ambulance. The doctor took a specimen from her vomit. The doctor informed the lady that the reason she was vomiting was because she ate some cat, and not only that, but the cat she ate had a venereal disease. The restaurant was closed for only two hours. The Lady is OK. She spoke with two lawyers about a law suit, however the lawyers wanted money up front. She did not have the up front cash needed, and she also said that she did not want to be bothered with a long drawn out lawsuit. She says that she thanks God for her life and health. She wants to move on with her life. A year later the restaurant was finally closed for good. This is a true story.

Philosophical Arguments Descartes Kant Utilitarian
71
Descartes Descartes maintained that animals were nothing more than unconscious machines. He felt that an animal’s cry was akin to the squeaking of a clock that needed oiling.
72
No Soul Animals lack a soul, therefore they do not have any rights
73
Animal Rights Descartes: 1. If you do not have a soul, Then you do not have rights. 2. Animals do not have souls. 3. Therefore, Animals do not have rights.
74
Kant- Animal Rights 1. If you do not have rationality; Then you do not have Rights. 2. Animals do not have rationality. 3. Therefore, Animals do not have rights.
75
Reductio ad um Serdum 1. If you do not have rationality; Then you do not have Rights. 2. Babies do not have rationality 3. Therefore, Babies do not have rights.
76
Rationality/ Moral Responsibility 1. If you do not have rationality; then you do not have Moral Responsibility. 2. Animals do not have rationality. 3. Therefore, Animals do not have Moral Responsibility.
77
Utilitarianism: Animal rights 1. If you have the capacity to feel pain or pleasure, then you have rights. 2. Animals have the capacity to feel pain and pleasure. 3. Therefore: Animals have rights.

Crazy Utilitarian Argument 1. People have rights. 2. Animals have rights. 3. Therefore people and animals have the same rights. People are equal to Goats.
80
Equivocation Equivocation in the use of the term “rights” People have the right to drive and vote, Goats have the same “rights” too.
81
What Rights People have Rights Animals have Rights But it is not specified what rights each have- there is no reason to assume they have the same rights.

84
Potential rationality 1. If you have the potential for rationality, then you have rights. 2. Babies have the potential for rationality 3. Therefore babies have rights.
85
Animal potential rationality 1.If you have the potential for rationality, Then you have rights. 2. Animals do not have the potential for rationality 3. Therefore animals do not have rights.
86
Potential Rationality Applied Mentally handicapped people and fetuses, people with brain injuries, people in comas or vegetative states all lack the potential for rationality- as such they lack rights.
