__**Source #4**__ "Animals Used for Clothing" PETA. 6 SEPT. 2000 Web. 4 Oct. 2010 []

This article had alot of information that was very disturbing, it also contained a video that was about how they kill animals just for clothing. The video that I saw just explained it all. It contained alot of information that I didn't know. They kill innocent animals just to make money in the industry. Before killing the animals they would just torture them till they are ready to be killed. They would beat them untill a bone in their body is broken. Once an animal is brutually hurt they would take it a factory where workers there would just cut off the parts of the animals body that they do not need. After they got what the fur from the animal they would go to a place to sell them. In one part of the video they showed how all these animal furs that were layed out for display just to be sold. Alot of clothing brands would buy them from sellers who do all this cruelty to animals. To them its just a way to make alot of money but they don't realize the harm they are doing to animals. This made me realize that alot of clothing brands buy from companys that do animal cruelty to animals.

__**Source #5**__ "Puppy Mill Prison" PETA. Feb 06. 2001 Web. 19 Oct. 2010 []

This article I read on the PETA's page has undercovered cruelty in some Puppy Mills. A puppy mill at Nielsen Farm in Kansas was charged for violating the Animal Welfare act and forced to shut the mills for their actions. An investgator from PETA went to the mills to work there and found alot of awful things at the puppy mill. The staff there weren't animal friend and would treat the dogs badly. The mill there wasn't in the best condions and wasn't sanitary for the animals or anyone to be in. Dogs there were often found with bad conditions and not in good health. The staff there sometimes wouldn't even feed the dogs or clean up after the dogs wastes. Which caused the cages to have awful smells. Alot of the dogs there were over crowded and caused dogs to attack one another. It just wasn't a place for anytype of dog or animal to be, they deserve to be treated better. After reading this article it made me look at animal industries differently. This is probobly happening in alot of places where they sell animals, which is not right.

__**Source #6**__ "Animal Testing is Bad Science" PETA. March 18. 2003 Web. 19 Oct. 2010 []

Summary: This source was basically about he information on animal testing. It was just saying how scientists who do animal testing want us to believe that their tests on animals are truth information and it works. Its all false information, PETA has backup information to prove the testing wrong. Scientists who are running these tests think that the only reason the life expectency range is creasing is due their testing on the animals. The animal body and human body is completely different, they're just torturing these animals

Source #7 "Animals Used for Experimentation" PETA. 21 Oct. 2010. Web. []

Summary: This source I got from the PETA website, its basically all just stating why scientist use animals for their expermentations. I found out alot of information that I didn't know. They use them for medical purposes, cosmetology, house cleaning supplies, just basically anything that we use daily. They would test it out on animals first and injure alot of them. Alot of brands use animals for their testing in products and popular brands. Johnson & Johnson, Colgate, Sally Hansen, Clorox and many more. Scientist use animals for medical purpopses because they believe that their expermentations on animals will help find cures for many diseases and viruses. They believe that the animal body is the same as the human body. The animals they they use alot in their testing are mice, monkeys, rabbits, dogs, and cats. Really they just use any animal that they find thats available that they'll use in their experiments.

Source #8 "How Animals End Up in Labortories" PETA. 21 Oct.2010 Web.[]

Summary: This source basically explains how they get the animals to run their testin on. They really buy them off from any breeder, or sick animals they from animal shelters. They can eaither really come from any animal pound, zoos, cirucuses, and just places where they are trying to get rid of any unwanted animals that are no good. The unwanted animals that they get them for free since they are no longer "good" for show purposes. Once they are taken to the labs or testing room they would be locked up in cages. They don't have anytype of freedom; they are just locked up untill they are tortured for testing or experiments.

Source #9 "Puppy Mills Exposed" Discovey Channel. 29. Oct. 2010 Web. [] Summary: This source has alot more information behind the truth of puppy mills. Some puppy mills aren't in perfect conditions. I also learned that pet stores they would have in malls or such most likey come from puppy mills before they are sold in the pet stores. They are always crowded and usually the dogs they use to breed more puppies spend most of their lives there being locked up in a crate.

Source #10 "Puppy Mills" Discovery Channel. Animal Planet 29. Oct.2010 Web Video. [] Summary: This is a link on the Animal Planet that just plays a whole bunch of videos of exposed puppy mills. Some videos were really helpful and just heartbreaking. It was telling me that in 2008 puppy mills made the most controversey on the news. It also told me the differences between a breeder and a puppy mill. Puppy mills mostly do it for the money and their main goal is to produce more dogs to sell to puppy stores and such. A breeder is someone who does it for the love of the animals and isn't about the money and they don't try to produce as many dogs. They also give more attention to the dogs to socialize and they are free all the time, they are not as crowded, and they all get walked. In a puppy mill it isn't like that for many of the puppies, they don't get the attention and exercise they need and they are crowded in cage with at least 3-6 other puppies. When they are all crowded it usually isn't a healthy idea because this way they can reproduce more dogs and if one dog is sick its easier for other dogs to catch other diseases and get sick as well.
