PLN #3

The presentation that caught my attention the most was the one about animal experimentation. It was sad and made me realize how much it would suck to be a animal that is being experimented on. The attention getter was great by making everyone pay attention to the hurting animal's, then came out and showed more statistics that reinforced her point then had a great conclusion. The presentation changed my opinion on animals as test subjects, because the main thing I was thinking about when watching the video and hearing the statistics. What if I was that animal?

I have been following the NRA website for some time and found some startling things that support my topic. Some parents are buying their kids paintball guns and teaching them about weapons and how you should never need them in real life. Most of this fear is being generated from the fact that more and more parents are being hurt from misfiring guns in their own household. The kids don't realize how to hold a gun safely and are accidentally shooting people. Kids are also not thinking about the consequence's of shooting a gun, they don't realize they could accidentally shoot someone they care about.
