Animal Rights I believe it is wrong the way we treat our fellow animals of this Earth. We are supposed to be protectors of the animals. We should ensure they are protected and preserved for future generations. Obviously all of them are important or God wouldn't have given Noah such explicit instructions on saving them from the flood. I don't believe there is any justified reason for experimenting on animals. Now days, there are so many realistic and more practical alternatives. I consider animal experimentation about as ethical as using death row inmates to experiment on instead. It seems cruel to think of using humans for experiments, but how is it any different? At least that's the way I think about it right now. I do believe animals have souls. I have known and loved too many animals to ever believe they don't. The animal I base my strongest feelings for this belief on was my cat Presh. I know without a doubt, she loved me. She used to come to me of her own will, without any cue from me, and stand on her hind legs to get me to pick her up. She loved being hugged and snuggled. I know she wanted to be near me, and it was her idea, I never tried to make her let me hold her. I always waited for her to come to me. I know in my heart that cat loved my company as much as I loved hers. When I was sad, she comforted me. I know that cat could read my mind. Sometimes I even toyed with mind games to test that theory. Sometimes I could be alone in a room, and I would mentally say her name in my mind. She would always come running. Not just casually walking in, like cats do, but running as if I called her name out loud. Coincidence? Back to |
