• Is the point that animals can't talk, and thus can't assert rights for themselves? .
• For those who happen to deny that animals have rights, that would be not unlike writing, "Anna Karenina was a Russian born in 18XX" and failing to mention in the sentence that she's fictional. ...

• Research With Animals in Psychology.
• "Psychologists undertake research with animals '. ...

" (APA Guidelines for Ethical Conduct in the Care and Use of Animals, Section VI. ...
• Psychologists do research to learn more about behavior and how knowledge of behavior can be used to advance the welfare of people and animals. ... Since Charles Darwin's work, which emphasized continuity in evolution from animals to people in their mental abilities and in physical characteristics, psychologists have worked to understand the basic principles and processes that underlie the behavior of all creatures, human and nonhuman. As knowledge has accumulated, identification of characteristics that are unique to different species has yielded information that contributes to understanding and advancing the welfare of animals and people. ...
• Through research with animals, we have learned about modes of adaptation to change, including evolution, development, and all types of learning. ... On other fronts, psychologists have developed behavioral methods for screening compounds in laboratory animals and are active in developing new drugs used in the treatment of such disorders as anxiety, schizophrenia, and depression. ...

• Recent research on the brain, particularly on processes of chemical neurotransmission, combined with behavioral research in animals has provided enormous leaps forward in our understanding of the functioning of the central nervous system. ...
• Various alternatives to research with animals have been proposed, including the use of plants and tissue cultures and the use of computer simulations. In fact, all who do research with animals are required, legally and ethically, to consider the possibility of using alternatives to nonhuman animals. ... To be useful, computer simulations have to be based on knowledge obtained from live behaving organisms, and, therefore, cannot substitute for studies of live animals. ... Studies typically use animals when time requirements, risk, the need to control behavioral history, or other conditions make it impossible to use humans or when there are other practical or ethical reasons not to use humans. ... It has also been suggested that animals be studied in the wild rather than in the laboratory. Psychologists do observe and study animals in natural environments; but for many investigations, the laboratory is the only setting in which causal variables can be isolated with sufficient precision to generate meaningful conclusions. ...

• Jeez, I can't believe we've managed to drag this conversation out this long! :-) What I originally meant was: "Society treats humans and non-human animals differently. Some people say they think humans and non-human animals should not be treated differently. But in practice, really, really treating humans and non-human animals exactly the same is rarely encounted and probably unworkable. ...

• The term llama is sometimes used more broadly, to indicate any of the four closely related animals that make up the South American branch of the family Camelidae: the llama itself, the vicuña, alpaca, and guanaco. ...
• Llama, sometimes rendered lama in the 1900s, is a word used by the Peruvians to designate one of a small group of closely allied animals, which, before the Spanish conquest of the Americas, were the only domesticated ungulates of the country. ... Llamas are seeing increasing use in North America as fiber producing animals and as guard animals for sheep herds, which they protect from coyote attacks. ...
• The animals of the genus Lama are, with the two species of true camels, the sole existing representatives of a very distinct section of the "Artiodactyla" or even-toed ungulates, called Tylopoda, or "bump-footed," from the peculiar bumps on the soles of their feet, on which they tread. ...

• In essential structural characters, as well as in general appearance and habits, all the animals of this genus very closely resemble each other, so that the question as to whether they should be considered as belonging to one, two, or more species has been one which has led to a large amount of controversy among naturalists. ...

• Others might feel that the suffering of animals in factory farm conditions is the main consequence they want to avoid, so they might eat animals raised under humane conditions or hunted in the wild. ...
• However, others argue that people may eat animals because God gave Eve and Adam dominion over them. ...
• Moreover, the meat of pen-raised animals (such as feedlot-fattened cows and pigs and farmed salmon) have much higher levels of fat and less nutritional value than the meat of their corresponding free-range or wild bretheren. ...
• One issue raised by choosing vegetarianism to avoid the suffering of animals is that agricultural cultivation of plant foods also harms animals. ... Automatic farm machines kill small animals unintentionally, while cutting down trees takes away habitat for other animals. ... Thus, in populations where most of the meat consumed does not come from grazing animals a vegetarian diet will in fact reduce the suffering caused by agriculture because less plants overall will be necessary to sustain the diet. ...
• This argument is similar to the argument that it is acceptable to kill animals if it is necessary for survival (for example, barring modern importation of foods, the Inuit live in a climate where consuming fish is necessary in order to get enough calories to survive). Also, vegetarians point out that eating animals uses a lot more plants than eating plants does, as animals are very inefficient at converting plants into flesh. ...
• While vegetarianism is commonly defined strictly on the basis of dietary intake, many religiously, ethically or environmentally motivated vegetarians (in common with animal rights and Green movements) try to minimise the harm done to animals in all aspects of their lives. ...
• Others consider leather made from the skin of animals who died of natural causes acceptable. ...
