What’s wrong with testing animals?  Well, did you know that every year millions of animals are killed in brutal tests?  Today, I will be explaining: The history of animal testing, the effects of testing on animals, solutions to animal testing, my solution to animal testing, and the benefits of my solution, what you can do to help this problem.  OK well then exact date of when animal testing first began is unknown, but scientists believe that it has been going on for centuries.  The first major reference to animal testing occurred in the late nineteenth century when Louis Pasteur administered anthrax to sheep and showed the importance of vaccines with his germ theory.

Next I am going to be talking to you about the effects of animal testing today.  Well some animal testing facts are that, vivisection is the practice of subjecting living animals to cutting operations, in order to advance physiological and pathological knowledge.  Also every year millions of animals are killed, including rats, mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, and other animals.  Testing on animals can possibly blind them, poison them, kill them, deafen them, or impair all their senses.  Animal testing takes away the animals instincts and turns them into test dummies.

OK some solutions to animal testing are you could do testing on criminals instead of animals.  Obviously they have done something wrong if they are in prison, they could have killed somebody it doesn’t matter, it is better to do testing on humans who the products are being made for than animals.  Another solution is to stop animal testing completely, which is basically to just stop testing on animals.  If there was no other option then you could always just allow animal testing but only to a certain degree, which means have some restrictions on what they can do to the animals.

My solution to animal testing is to get human volunteers to do it.  This means that humans who volunteer to do the testing will do it.  This is the best choice because no animals will be harmed.  The testing is completely done by choice which is fair to everybody.

Benefits to my solution are that the animals that were tested have a chance to gain their health back.  Also the humans that are being tested have a better life expectancy than the animals.  This means that they will probably live through tests that the animals died through.  All the animals that were waiting to be tested on will be freed.  This is a good thing; they will go on to better lives.

What you can do to help this problem is be an activist that takes part in blogs and other things that help animals.  Start a petition for your city that stops animal testing for it.  If you can do these things, we may possibly be able to stop animal testing.  Today, I have summed up I have summed up The history of animal testing, The effects of animal testing today, Solutions to animal testing, My solution to animal testing, The benefits of my solution, What you can do to help, Every year, millions of animals are poisoned, blinded, and killed in tests to evaluate the toxicity of consumer products and their ingredients.  The next time you buy or receive something, try thinking about what it was tested on.

Article Analysis

The Obama administration’s pay czar will outline Friday another round of curbs on executive compensation for companies that took exceptional assistance from the government, but Bank of America won’t be one of them.   BofA had been one of the seven companies under the purview of Kenneth Feinberg, the Treasury Department’s special master for executive compensation, who is charged with determining appropriate pay packages for the top 100 employees at the most heavily bailed out companies.  But the nation’s largest lender announced Wednesday that it had sent a check to the government to repay the $45 billion in aid it had received from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).  A Treasury Department official confirmed Thursday that BofA is no longer subject to the special master’s authority.   That leaves Feinberg with six other companies to oversee, including: AIG (AIG, Fortune 500), Citigroup (C, Fortune 500), General Motors, Chrysler, Chrysler Financial and GMAC. n October, the pay czar cut total compensation for the top 25 executives at the seven firms by about half, scaling back salaries by 90% and transferring bonus payments into performance-based, longer-term stock options.  On Friday, Feinberg will present his determinations for the pay structures of the next 75.  Since most executives take home a majority of their annual pay in the form of end-of-year bonus checks, adjusting pay packages so late in the year will likely have a sizeable impact on employees’ 2009 pay. And as executives get their pay trimmed, the affected companies are raising concerns that top talent will walk out the door.  Some of the firms have said they are already on the brink and can’t afford to lose their key employees. That’s something Feinberg says he is acutely aware of.

I think that this is good.  Bank of America is extremely lucky.  They don’t have to worry about cutting any employees.  They dodged a huge bullet by not having their pay cut.  Maybe they will learn from this almost happening and make smarter choices.  I think other businesses will learn from this.  Feinberg is a smart guy, and is always looking for a cut to be made.
