Argument Against Animal Experimentation
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Characteristic of any living being is the inherent right to live its existence free from intentional pain and suffering, as well as to exist within the context put forth by nature. This concept has been completely lost on humanity, inasmuch as man has historically utilized animals for whatever purpose he deems necessary without a thought for the animal's needs. The issues that surround animal rights are both broad and complex; not only do they address the primal mistreatment of those from the animal kingdom, but they also appeal to man's inability to recognize the sentience of any creature other than himself. Animal experimentation is a particularly huge component of the animal rights argument, inasmuch as science has taken it upon itself to utilize animals as a means by which to further the human race. Without the slightest bit of concern for the pain and suffering thrust upon laboratory specimens, man continues to poke, prod, burn and mutilate living, feeling animals in the name of science. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Arizona Laws: Protecting Animals
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The pursuit for animal protective legislation has been an ongoing – if not frustrating – quest for virtually every American society; while significant inroads have been made in many national communities where such atrocities as cockfighting, animal abuse/cruelty felony status and pet shop conditions are concerned, there is still a long way to go before animals – including everything from livestock to wild horses to stray dogs and cats – are truly protected by comprehensive laws. Phoenix, Arizona is leading the country in this pursuit, having enacted a number of animal protective statutes to help curb the prevalence of abuse, cruelty and neglect. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Arthropoda
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Considered the most adaptable animals in the world, arthropods are as diverse as the environment in which they live. That they exist on land, under the sea or in the air speaks to their unprecedented compatibility with the earth's many and varied topography. Representing an entire three-quarters of all living and fossil organisms known to man, which equates to more than one million identified species overall, the true number of arthropods species is suspected to be between six and nine million due to the untold numbers yet to be discovered in such terrain as tropical rain forests.
