Hayhurst, Chris. Animal Testing: The Animal Rights Debate. New York: The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc. 2000. Print.
Summary/Description: This book discusses the pros and cons of animal testing. It gives a brief history of the animal right movement, and It also address the legal and ethical issues involved around this cruel testing.

Evaluation/Assessment: It is really bad that the U.S rejected the Animal Act and still continue to use animal as a tool. This important point right here could be a great help on how cruelty the society can be even the Congress. I could use this to talk about the animal right when and where the Act was passed. And talk about why Congress did not pass the law to help animals to free away from the suffer of the experiments.
Quotations: "The question is not, can they reason? nor, can they talk?, but, can they suffer?" (Bentham 14).
