Topic Selection
The topic I have chosen to focus on in all of my readings this quarter is animal rights and the mistreatment of animals. Growing up I always wanted to be a veterinarian because of my fondness for animals. Although my passions have changed my love for animals has been unwavering throughout the years. Animal cruelty and animal rights are a few things that I feel compelled to learn more about. Mainly I am interested in finding out about more of the things that actually take place behind closed doors.Essential Questions
- What are animal rights?
- What rights should an animal have?
- What is the difference between animal rights and animal welfare?
- Is the animal welfare act enough?
- Are there any alternatives to animal testing?
