“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains
unawakened.” ― Anatole France
In this country, we often take animals for granted. We see
them as objects that we can kill of our pleasure and that don’t have the
ability to do anything great for this world. However, animals have done much
more for the world than you would ever think. Besides being great companions
and interesting creatures, they have changed the scientific world and have
modernized it from the stone age. Now today in present day, the scientific
community uses animals as test subjects, scientific models, and donors. We have
learned that humans and some animals such as pigs have many things in common
that can be switched between bodies and still work. This has revolutionized how
and where we can implant organs into people that would otherwise wait months of
a new heart or liver. We have also found that some animals, such as dogs, are extremely
sensitive to chemicals put out in the air that would suggest that a human has
an illness or problem. These are often used to help people who suffer from
epilepsies know when they will experience an epilepsy and hopefully prevent it
if caught soon enough. It is unbelievable how we, as humans, have completely
overlooked how much animals really do for us on a daily basis. If we come to
understand why animals are so important in our society, then I believe that the
amount of animal cruelty and neglect would decrease because who would honestly
want to hurt something that could potentially save them in the future.
