Critical Review Of Peter Singer's Paper "All Animals Are Equal"
[ send me this paper ]
23 pages in length. Of all the voices who have cried out for a more compassionate and humane approach to the relationships between and among the animal kingdom, Peter Singer's is heralded as one of the loudest and most influential in the ongoing debate over human/animal equality. The fundamental basis of Singer's stance in All Animals Are Equal argues how the intrinsic value of all sentient beings precludes man's arrogant behavior toward what he deems unworthy creatures, namely those beings that are anything other than human. The extent to which mankind has uplifted his own species to such a position of superiority is both grand and far-reaching; that this self-imposed escalation has rendered tremendous ignorance and intolerance toward the rest of the sentient beings speaks directly to the ill-conceived supremacy the human species believes it empowers.

Diesel Fuel, the Environment, and the U.S. Compared to Europe
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses attitudes, facts, and the overall impact on the Earth’s environment related to the use of diesel fuel. People who are advocates of a greater use of diesel fuel almost always point to the fact that diesels are more fuel-efficient than spark-ignition engines and offer a greater degree of actual energy than a gallon of “regular” gas. However, in the United States, diesel is generally thought to be inherently “dirty.” Such issues are discussed and comparisons made between European and American formulation and use of diesel fuel.

Do Animals Have Rights?
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. Why it must be proven that animals possess rights – thereby wholly substantiating all animals as equal - is a notion that escapes those like Tom Regan who already know the answer to be true. What is actually being proven - or at least attempted - is that rights only exist on the human level by methods that are restrictive only to human consumption; that these methods address nothing on an animal level is indicative of their inherent misgivings.

Do Dogs Have Feelings?
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Do dogs have feelings? If they do, are they the same as humans? And if they are not the same as humans, how do we really know they have feelings? Can anyone truly argue that some dogs do not express feelings of fear toward thunderstorms or become extremely happy when his or her favorite person arrives home? When one considers the concept of feelings, it is with great hesitation that its characteristics are attributed to those who represent the animal kingdom. However, what mankind has typically done is employ the human form of feelings when applying it to dogs, making it quite difficult for them to meet up to such an adaptation. Indeed, while dogs may not possess the prerequisites for human feelings, they do harbor their own form that often transcends mankind's reality-based existence. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
