Animal treatment shouldn't be something people should talk about. It's logical and very ethical to not take care of animals because that way, we live. First of all, lets take a look at the definition of ethics:
''The study of principles relating to right and wrong conduct;morality...''
We humans are in constant struggle to survive. Now that the world is suffering a lot, do you think someone is going to stop and yell, ''save the animals!'' The answer is no. There is a golden rule, key for survival, and that is, the survival of the fittest. If you are not strong, then you die. It's true that maybe killing animals for food or using them to conduct experiments might sound wrong, but it is ethical in a way. To explain this I rather use the definition that the Church of Scientology uses:
''Ethics may be defined as the actions an individual takes on himself to ensure his continued survival across the dynamics.''
First, take this definition and use it in history. What would happen if there would be a law against animal testing? Pretty simple... many diseases wouldn't have any treatment, like diabetes and leprosy which involved a dog and an armadillo.
Second, eating animals is something unquestionable. People need a choice, in fact, people develop allergies every time and most food allergies develop after eating that food over and over again. People would become allergic to sald because of the lettuce or any vegetable content.
The definition given by the Chruch of Scientology clearly states that you have to take the altruist part of you out, and be egoist. Only egoism will ensure your survival. In other words, as long as you do something that ensures your survival, you're being ethical.

I don’t agree with Ayn Rand, first of all he is egoist. Being an egoist means to think of self and self-interest the belief that moral behavior should be directed toward one's self-interest. In other words you only care about yourself; you don’t care a bit for others. So if you don’t care for others you would less care for theses poor animals. Second of all I disagree because I would never think that animal experimentation is ethical. You can’t mess with an animal life just because is an animal. They are like human. The reason why I don’t think this is ethical is because I consider that animal and human are alike. The only difference that I found is that human being has the ability to reason, and have a mind, and animals just have perception. What I try to say is that any creature with reason will also have perception; any creature with perception will also have the ability to take on nutrition and to reproduce. So this is totally on ethical. You can’t go around experimenting with anything you want. Killing an animal is like killing a human being. Animal experimentation should not take place, because they have the right to live as well as human being. They might not reason as we human do, but they can preserve, have babies, and so many other things like humans, they might not reason but they have other qualities. So I think is unfair to do this with those poor animals. Therefore, I repeat experimenting with animals is not ok, and is on ethical.
