for and against
animals testing

We share our world with animals, when we "control" the world.
That’s why, when a new product, like medicines and cosmetics, is invented, and we want to be sure it is not dangerous, we try it on animals.

On one hand, those products must be checked, before letting the people of the world use it.
In order to check it we must try it on something or someone.
We don't want to test it on humans because we don’t want to risk their lives, so our only possibility is to try it on animals.
In the past, scientists have found medicine for hard disease, like cancer and aids, thanks to those animals testing.

On the other hand, animals are important for the environment of the world and protecting the circle of life.
Animals are living creatures too, and we must protect their lives as well as we protect human lives.
Animal testing is cruel and unethical. It can make those animals vanish; hurt their lives, the nature, and eventually us.
Furthermore, testing the product on animals doesn’t always give a precise result.

On my opinion, we should stop the testing on animals.
I think the scientist that invent the product should know what materials are danger and what are not, and that way it will be no need for any animals testing.
Furthermore, with the technologic we have these days, if we do want to test those product, we can take one cell from the human body and test it on it.
That way, no human and no animal get hurt, and the results are more precise.

Animals Testing

Most of us have pets. Pet like a member family. Pet that provide us love when we come back home after a hard day. A cute, intelligent and friendly pet. A pet that will be never exchanged by us for what fortune in the world. But it turns out that not everyone thinks like this. There are companies that sacrifices animals to improve their productions and earn more money. Companies that think a shampoo or a soup is more important then a life of an animal. Although there are companies that found replacement for the animals, still there are some that prefer use "the real thing".

On the one hand sacrifices animals for the science donate for the development and promise that we will use the best product and will get the best results. That testing is happening in order to confirm our safety and that there is no danger to use the products.

On the other hand we need to consider the poor animals that suffering and sometimes even die. Animals do not deserve them die with a lot of pain. Instead of running in the wild, animals are caged and wait their turn to die. Animals that have no things to wait for, except the end that will redeem them from their pain.

In my opinion animals shouldn't be used for testing. Although it's important to concern our safety, I don't think it needs to come on animals' life. There are replacements to the animals and I think it's enough. Animals' duty isn't take care our life. Animals' duty is to run in the wild without think about their pain and suffer. I think there are nothing important then a life. If it a human's life or animal's.

Assay About Computers
Today most of the families have 1 computer at least.
People use in the computer a lot, and many of them work with the computer.
There are many kinds of computers: Regular computers, portables computers, and ore kinds of computers.
There are people that opponent to computers and people that supporting to computers.

On the other hand the computer makes many children spoiled and lazy because they aren't active when they are play on the computer, or chat, and more.
Because of the computers many children prefer to stay in the house and play on the computer, instead of play outside with friends.
In my opinion computers are good accessories and the help us, and it is fine to play on the computer, and chat with friends, but I think that we needn't to exaggerate with the computer, and we need to go outside and play with friends.

Essay- Captivity of Animals in Zoos

Keren O.

Zoos are used for learning information about animals. There are people who think that zoos are a good way for meeting all kinds of animals first hand. There are people who think that zoos are harming animal's independence and abilities. In their opinion, people and children can learn about animals not necessarily in zoos, but rather by television or computer.

On the one hand, zoos are a great way for learning about animals.
Zoos are introducing us all kinds of the animals, that we can watch their behavior with our own eyes, and not by T.V. or computers.
Also, zookeepers are taking care of the animals’ health and they are keeping the animals' environment tidy and clean. In addition, the zoos can re- export rare animals to their original home territory.

On the other hand, animals are not intended for life in captivity.
When an animal is captured, it loses its survival abilities and its self- sufficiency. Moreover, animals in zoos don't have enough space to run and spend energy. In addition, guests in zoos are feeding animals with food that is endangering to the animals and consequently, the animals may die.
In my opinion, capturing animals in zoos is destroying the nature of the animals, because an animal in a cage is behaving differently then an animal in its home territory.
