rights around 1960s equal rights for all races ,Many want more rights for animals that

Watson, Stephanie. Animal Testing: Issues and Ethics. New York: Rosen Pub., 2009. Print.The
book Animal testing writing by Stephanie Watson. Animals and humans have the similar

greater good. The background of the writer seems to not agree or disagree she just seems to
give both pros and cons and give facts.
