Using the Corpus "COCA" For Insights about

I searched COCA( https://www.english-corpora.org//coca/) to search about the words related to animal rights.

This is a graph that I found for the word "animals".

The word animal was most used in Magazines, which was a little surprising. The amount of the word "Animal" used does not change much from 1990 to 2019, as you can see above.

Next graph shows how much "Animal" is used with the word "Cosmetics", which show how muchwebsite talks about animal testing for cosmetics.

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

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.
