Tess' animal rights homework

I agree with some animal experiments only when " they are aimed at saving human's life and there is really no alternative ways to it ". First of all, animal experiments are cruel and unfair to creatures, and therefore I do not agree with those experiments which just are done for " making human's material life better ", such as sending monkeys into space with electric wires attached to their brains, and so on. Second, I do not think it is appropriate to hurt creatures and make them born to suffer from pain till they die even just a very tiny mouse. Every animal has it own right to live with well-being. The reason why we can do animal experiments is that human being is much more powerful than other creatures in the Earth now. But, it is not the excuse that people can do bad to creatures unscrupulously.

However, animal experiments are still unavoidable. Because we human are persueing our self-interests. Although we were taught that every life are created equal, we still prefer to sacrificing other creatures' lives which we think are more inferior to save more human's lives. I believe this kind of thinking can be realize. It is humanity. As a result, I can accept those animal experiments which are aimed at saving human's life and there is really no alternative ways to it.

  1. Bear in mind that most animals are bred especially for the experiments. If there were no labs, they would not exist to "live freely".
