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.
