“good” and “bad” web pages by Ui

 

["good" web pages]
Survey report on public awareness concerning the use of animals in scientific research in Japan

This was a survey report on public awareness and it was written by two authors. When you click their name, they have other articles they've written. This paper includes an introduction, how they carried out the survey, the results, acknowledgements, and references so, I thought it was a good article. Also, websites that offer referred journal articles have many aspects of the issue.

Fact! Testing Drugs On Animals Does Not Work to Help Humans

I thought the title was a bit suspicious. Although it says he did link where he got the numbers, he didn't write the sources under it. It also looked like he collected information from other websites and combined it so it's very one-sided. I think Psychology Today is a popular journal website, but it is not peered reviewed and there are ads that make it a "bad" web page.

    First, I would like to say that the way that the two websites were presented was great. I like the fact that there were visual aids to help us understand the difference between the two. The underlines and circles underlines were a great way to see what was good about one and bad about the others. On top of this there was a short explanation about how you felt when you first looked at the sites. In the short explanation there was also an, easy to understand description on why the site was bad, which made it easier to understand.

    The way you marked up the screen captures of the web pages made it much easier for the reader to understand the points you were making.

Answers to research questions [Part 1]

The blog entry will answer Q1, Q8, and Q11 of our 30 questions. Q1 What are animal rights? Q8 What is Japan’s law to protect animal rights? Q11 Which countries are strict about animal rights? [ Animal Rights ] Animal rights is the philosophy according to which many or all sentient animals have moral worth that is independent of their utility for humans, and that their most basic interests—such as in avoiding suffering—should be afforded the same consideration as similar interests of human beings. Advocates for animal rights oppose the assignment of moral value and fundamental protections on the basis of species membership alone—an idea known as speciesism since 1970, when Richard D. Ryder adopted the term —arguing that it is a prejudice as irrational as any other. They maintain that animals should no longer be viewed as property or used as food, clothing, research subjects, entertainment, or beasts of burden. Multiple cultural traditions around the world such as Jainism, Taois

Cosmetics Without Animals

In the last post, we briefly introduced our NPO. So today, we would like to give you more in detail.  Concrete ways that our NPO tries to achieve its goal; a society where no animals are tested for cosmetics.  We have 6 ways in our minds. First, we want to create posters and flyers where we would spread information on the reality of how cruel animal testing is and introduce some of the cosmetic companies that don't test on animals. We thought that just by giving out flyers in the city, they would end up in the garbage. Therefore, we would like to give out samples of cruelty-free makeup from the companies that don't test on animals with which our NPO collaborates. We would also like to use Instagram and host events with Beauty Influencers so that they can reach more people by posting or promoting our NPO. Creating our NPO merch was another idea but instead of tee shirts or pens, we will make fur-free makeup brushes.  How are we different from other NPO? - We want to use Instagra

This blog entry will answer Q9, 12, 13, 18, and 30 of our 30 questions.  Q9: Are zoos or aquariums cruel to animals? Q12: Do pet shops have the right to sell animals? Q13: What do pet shops do with animals they don't sell? Q18: Are Zoos and Aquarium necessary? Q30: Are circuses, okay? [Zoos, Aquariums, Circuses] We've all probably been to zoos or aquariums or watched a circus once in our life. But as we get older and see news on animals in those places, you start to wonder if animals there are treated right.  The article discussed the cruel treatment in top zoos and aquariums. Wild animals are being abused and forced to suffer in some of the world's top zoos. And in these 12 irresponsible zoos and many others globally, what people aka family consider enjoyable is the opposite of animals.  The research study focused on big cats in gladiator-style shows, dolphins being used like surfboards, and elephants playing basketball which all require cruel training by humans.
