Land Developers Vs. Environmentalists
[ send me this paper ]

Indeed, the battle that exists is one that claims to benefit both sides of the issue: the developers for the people and the environmentalists for the land and its resources. While each party believes what they are doing is the right thing, they unquestionably clash when it comes to their overall purpose.

Making Hunting A Deviant Behavior
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Society is filled with activities not readily classified as deviant within the scope of acceptance when enough people consider them "normal" by cultural standards. The United States - which may have more routine actions deemed normal than other countries because of its multicultural composition - relishes the "sport" of boxing where men purposely inflict pain and injury upon one another to determine who is the best. Americans also enjoy taking the lives of other animals in the name of recreation and then displaying the stuffed anatomy as an example of man's superiority and prowess. The two activities have only one difference: people can decide to put themselves in harms way while animals cannot, an ethical and environmental connotation that demands hunting be deemed deviant. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Manatees: Man's Absent Stewardship
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Whether hunted, poisoned by pollution, caught in flood gates or injured/killed by speedboats, Florida's manatee population faces tremendous challenges to remain intact as it looms ever nearer to extinction; of the aforementioned threats, pollution and maiming/death by recreational speedboaters are by far the most impacting. The extent to which such activities and man-made problems have placed manatees on the threshold of obsolescence is both grand and far-reaching; that man's disrespect for and indifference toward the dwindling manatee population speaks to a distinct lack of responsibility where humanity's duty as steward of the animal kingdom is concerned. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Medical Testing On Animals
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The pros and cons of medical experimentation on animals is a debate that rages hotly between two divided factions: those who claim humanity as a species cannot progress without the medical advancements afforded by animals and the welfare organizations that argue animals should not be seen as tools for man's selfishness. Supporters agree that animals are instrumental in providing an assortment of commodities for their human counterparts that include those supporting man's medical, entertainment, provisions and companion needs. However, despite the varying ways in which they ultimately serve mankind, they argue how history has failed to recognize their right to an existence of their own, having long been looked upon as nothing more than a throwaway product. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Nagel's "What Is It Like To Be A Bat?"

Non-Human Animals Rights and Moral Standing
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the moral standing of animal rights. The arguments for the moral rights of animals covers a great many aspects in regards to moral obligation, natural rights of man and animals, utilitarianism and man’s exploitation of anything or anyone it considers inferior to himself. While many argue that the distinction between species is a cognitive one, others argue that if a distinction should be made it should be in a species’ capacity to feel pain in which case animals are equivalent to humans and should not be treated poorly. Additional arguments show that humans are hypocritical in their actions. While many humans treat their domestic animals well and they fight for the protection of these animals, they still allow for inhumane treatment of animals to occur in regards to agriculture, medical experimentation and entertainment environments. Morally and ethically, humans do seem to believe in animal rights; however their actions do not reflect their morals ideals. By all accounts, non-human animals should have protection rights and should be morally equivalent to humans in nature but however sound the argument may be, the utilitarian aspect of the human actions seem to override this conclusion.
Bibliography lists 8 sources.
