Animal Experimentation Paper Outline


*yeah I haven't a clue why I'm posting this...but I wrote this paper in Freshman English (so four years ago)


Saving humans?
 
Thesis: Animals have feelings, so do humans, but human feelings aren't ignored when it comes to medical problems. Humans attack each other just like animals. Both are creatures on this planet and yet animals are treated like lesser beings. If there was no animals, humans wouldn’t be where they are today in the world. Animals provide everything for us, as they always seem to have. Now they provide a way for humans to experiment for human operations without having to hurt humans. The animals can’t protest, so it doesn’t matter what the animals think.
