Voices demanding the rights of animals against vivisection have been louder then ever over the past thirty years. Vivisection is the act or practice of cutting into or otherwise injuring living animals, especially for the purpose of scientific research. Animal rights against vivisection have been expressed in a serious of protest and riots, which have fallen short of their purpose. Although Vivisection has been taking place since the seventeenth century nothing has happened to stop the inequitable situation. Vivisection experiments fall into three categories: animal testing (attempts to test the toxicity of drugs and substances), experimental research on animals (study of human disease), dissection and Practice Surgery (teaching medical students anatomy and surgical techniques). One should argue that none of God's creatures man nor beast should be but through such trauma. In a counter argument some believe animals or "beast" are not entitled to such moral rights. .

Every year introduces new trends and with them come thousands of new cosmetics, household products and personal items that are introduced into the market.

With each "new and approved" item comes the death of millions of innocent animals. Nearly every product found on our local supermarket shelves has been animal- tested during some stage of its development. .
Laboratories are home to around two to four million animals in the United States alone. Animals are mutilated, burned, poisoned, and gassed just for the improvement of simple household cleaners. An example of such an act of cruelness is the experiment scientist use to measure severe burns on live tissue.
