Animal Experimentation and Testing (Hot Pro/Con Issues) [Library Binding]

Geraldine Woods (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-8-Experimenting on animals has been controversial since ancient times and many of the world's foremost philosophers have offered opinions on the matter. Woods examines the history of the debate, presents the pros and cons of the issue, and supplies a wealth of information about legislation and government programs dealing with animals and laboratories. The text incorporates direct quotations, fact boxes, and a few full-color photographs. Addresses and Web sites of groups for and against animal experimentation are provided along with extensive footnotes. This worthwhile purchase is for slightly younger readers than Andrew Harnack's Animal Rights (Greenhaven, 1996).

5.0 out of 5 stars STOP ANIMAL TESTING!!!, August 7, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Animal Experimentation and Testing (Hot Pro/Con Issues) (Library Binding)

If you are against animal testing,do what I did. Only buy products that are NOT tested on animals. Check the back of the product to make sure it is cruelty free. Several mascara companies test on animals. Don`t buy from these companies!!! Let your voice be heard! Tell people exactly what you think about animal testing. Write letters,make posters,email friends,whatever you have to do. You can make a difference. HELP STOP ANIMAL TESTING!!!!
