Common Interest - Beliefs & Causes
Description:
This group is aimed at giving you, the consumer information about companies that test on animals. I was mortified to find that the food I buy for my cats are tested on animals. They don't have a voice and it is up to us to give them the love and respect they so desperately need. Needless to say, I have chucked it in the bin. Join me in my quest to fight these ignorant companies and to expose them for the cruelty and pain they inflict apon sentient beings. It is up to us. Let's give them a voice.

* 'The Fragrance Shop' are now working with procter and gamble and are pushing thier fragrances foward to customers over other brands of perfume using incentives for staff and giving disciplinaries to any staff that don't comply with this.
Thought this could possibly added to the list of animal testing as although people may not go in and buy procter and gamble they won't be aware of the fact they are pushing foward Procter and Gamble's products.

Every year millions of animals are harmfuly used as tools in education. This use is still widespread in many educational environments, and it is not exactly known how many animals are killed for this reason. The estimated figures run into tens of millions.
Internationally, more and more students are objecting to practices of dissection and vivisection in schools and tertiary institutions. As a result of these objections groundbreaking work has been done by many dedicated professionals and volunteers to develop alternatives to these practices.
We are in a new age where old "regimes" and mindsets have been overturned. We are at the beginning of an entirely new chapter in the history of human rights, animal rights and social awareness in South Africa. As a result of our newfound democracy, our new constitution enshrines and protects our rights as never before. We have been awarded moral and ethical rights that no one would have ever dreamed about 50 years ago. As we enter a new age of social awareness and consciousness, it is time that educational institutions all over South Africa allow students who take a moral and ethical stand against dissection and related practices, a choice to exercise their right to a more ethical and humane alternative.
A science such as Biology, where we as students are taught about incredible and complex biological systems and beings, should have a more gentle and respectful attitude towards the issue of animal use than that of the current attitude.
As biology students it is presumed that we will partake in dissection. Furthermore, we are taught that we as human beings are at the top of the food chain and that we can take what we want, when we want it. By teaching this, students are not instilled with a respect towards nature, which I would argue that a Natural/Biological Scientist should have if s/he is going to be working with animals and studying them as an occupational choice.
Instead of conveying this respect, we are taught that animals are disposable, non-sentient beings that are here for our convenience to be used as learning tools and then discarded. Teachers and lectures do not understand the implications of the underlying, subconscious message of disrespect that is transferred to the student. Most are unaware of this message that is being unconsciously yet deliberately conveyed – but once instilled in a persons mind this message is very hard to un-learn.
By creating a new approach to the "problem" of scholars and students that wish to have alternatives implemented, the educational institutions would be encouraging the extension of moral and social consciousness to another level – not only to animals, but a respect that would spread towards fellow human beings as well.
There are numerous reasons for objection to dissection and vivisection; for example, Students can object to using animals in education on a moral basis by recognizing some kind of value and sentience in an animal’s life, and having a deep found respect for that life. When we look at the health sciences (in particular medicine and surgery, but also psychology) a student could question the “correctness” of basing a human anatomical course on the anatomy of an animal. Religious beliefs also play a strong role in these objections. People are taught through certain religions to have respect and love for all life: human and non-human.
Since we are treading on new ground- students opposing dissection classes in South African Universities and schools face various problems and challenges when conscientiously objecting to these practices. You may be told that there are no alternatives to these practices, that the alternatives are not available in South Africa or that alternatives are not as effective as other teaching methods. You more than likely will be told that you must do the dissections or you will be penalised. The list goes on. Most lecturers will try discourage you as much as they can. But do not worry, this is either just a case of guarding old practices or a touch of unawareness about the subject of alternatives. However, this is the “New South Africa” with more choices and more rights guaranteed to you as an individual.
There are so MANY alternatives that are readily available to replace dissection and vivisection, all of which are more effective and cost feasible in the long run than dissection and vivisection. And as a person with moral, ethical, scientific and religious objections to these uncompassionate practices – you have the right not to be discriminated against because of your compassion and respect for life. You have a right to a “cruelty-free” education. You have a right to these alternatives.
"How can values be integrated into education in a diverse, pluralistic democracy? With so many differences in values, how can citizens in a democracy find unity in the midst of pluralism? If it is true, as it appears to be, that schools and universities generally stopped making moral education an integral part of their curricula (…) because of the lack of a cultural consensus and the increase in religious and ethical differences, is it possible to include concerns for values in new ways, which admit the conflicts and disagreements, but confront them and seek to transcend them?"
~ R. Merikangas
"Values and Education in a Democracy"
InterNICHE, the International Network for Humane Education, is an international network thats main focus is on the implementation of alternatives in education. InterNICHE works with anybody who would like to work towards the replacement of animal use in education, with the main goal being moving towards a higher grade of compassionate and ethical science.
If you are a South African student, teacher or lecturer that has moral, religious, ethical or scientific problems with the harmful practice of dissection or vivisection– then we would like to hear from you. We can help you in your fight for humane education by supplying you with literature, videos, lists of alternatives and by giving information, advice and support in your struggle.
