An introduction to, and description of, our NPO

イメージ
Good afternoon,  In this blog entry, we will briefly introduce you to our NPO that we will be creating and talk about what inspired us to create such an NPO and why we felt there was a need for it.  If you want to know more details about it, feel free to click our next blog entry.  Our NPO is called "CWA" which stands for Cosmetic Without Animals. The meaning/inspiration behind this name is a little bit of a long story.  From Survey Monkey, we were inspired by these two questions. For the question asking what kind of animal rights issue the participants can think of, "animal testing" was the most answered topic. This shows that animal testing is well known, and our age group is concerned about this issue the most. The second question was whether they think animal testing should be banned. And most people said yes while some said no or unsure. We thought that people who answered, "not sure," does not know much about the reality of animal testing or that we ...

Hello,I'm Ako! First of all, thank you for answering my survey! The answers were very useful to know how people think about animal rights issue. Majority of the answer were by female, and under 19 or among 20 to 29 years old. Most of them were Japanese, but I also got answers from British and Canadian. For the answers to the question "What kind of Animal Rights issues can you think of?", the most answered issue was animal testing, which was the 4 answers among the 16 answers. From this result, I knew that Animal testing was the most known issue in our age. For the Question "How often do you hear about Animal Rights issue?", the answers were not biased. However, 42% said that they only hear about it few times in a year. Next Question was "Do you support Animal Rights movement or organization in any way?". I was surprised and happy to know that almost half of the answers said "Yes". For the Question "Do you think animal testi...

Survey Results [Google Form] by Ui

Hello, First I would like to say "THANK YOU" from the bottom of my heart to all respondents who participated in the google form.  In total, I received answers from 19 people of different nationalities of American, Japanese, half Japanese and Indonesian, and Korean.  As I suspected, most people, 57.9% answered were teenagers, then 31.6% were in their 20s to 25s, and 10.5% were over 60.  I decided to ask about their dietary preferences because that might be related to how they would answer each question. Among the 14 lists of preferences, the majority answered no dietary restrictions as you can see in the chart.  The question that many participants got wrong were 5 true or false questions and 1 multiple choice question.  True or False: - Pigs are as intelligent as dogs.  - In Japan, it is illegal to allow animals used in laboratory experiments to suffer pain.  - It is illegal to keep rabbits in the cage if they can't sit up on their hind legs.  - Mo...

Various Perspectives [Consumers & Supporters] by Ako

   T he consumer's point of view.                                                                           Hi, my name is Jamie. I make The Zoo Review website to  educate people about zoos and to inspire people to get out, visit a zoo, enjoy spending time with their family, and learn about the animals in this world. Wildlife conservation has a much greater chance at succeeding if more people are inspired, educated, and passionate. If this website allows people to have as much love and passion for animals as I do, then I have succeeded. I studied Conservation Biology, Zoology, and Wildlife Ecology in college. I was also lucky enough to meet a man who loves animals as much as I do. My husband Steve has a master’s in Biological and Agricultural Engineering. When you are at the zoo, ...

Various Perspectives [scientist & animal] by Ui

The scientist's position on animal rights My name is Nikolai Petrovsky. I am a chairman and research director of Vaxine Pty Ltd, an Adelaide-based biotechnology company focused on vaccine development. I am also a professor in the College of Medicine and Public Health at Flinders University in Australia. Over the last 16 years, I have been investigating five NIH vaccine grants totaling over 50 million dollars, with a focus on the development of vaccines and pandemic vaccines. So, I believe animal testing contributes to life-saving cures and treatments and therefore it is crucial to ensure that vaccines are safe. Also, nearly every medical breakthrough in the last 100 years has resulted directly from research using animals. For example, animal research has contributed to major advances in treating conditions such as breast cancer, brain injury, childhood leukemia, and many more. Since I believe animal testing contributes to life-saving cures and treatments testing a coronavirus vacci...
