We Are Animals.

 

 

scene 1 (animals vs owners)

 

narrator- IN 2015, Korea makes a plan of huge animal testing. The government gets agreement from citizens. They agree to animal testing with their pets. They plan to send their pets to scientists. However pets notice their owner's plan and they are trying to tell the owners not to send them.

 

Dog: I don't want to get animal test. I want to live.

 

Cat: Yes, I want to live too. Don't send us

 

People1: Okay, I will not send you.

 

Narrator: Dog and cat are escaping from death. How about pig?

 

Pig: I don't want to go there. Please, don't send me there. I want to stay here.

 

People2: No, you need to go. If you don't want to go there you should give me a meat.

 

Pig: What?

 

Narrator: Pig is going to die. How about chicken?

 

Chicken: Owner, please don't send me. I don't want to stay with dirty animals. I am a very clean chicken.

 

People3: Oh, you don't need to go? But you need to go. Or you should give me a egg. You can choose one.

 

Chicken: My egg is clean! I can't give it ti you!

 

Narrator: Then the pig and the chicken will get tested.

scene 3

 

Explainer: These days there are many protesters in our world. However, until now, there are people who argue about they must have animal testing, so protesters and people are arguing about animal testing.

 

Kara: We should not have an animal test. Animals are theatened by us! They are organisms like people! We have to think about animals too!

 

Denny: Then, how can we live without animal test? We have to invent medicine which can cure new diseases. These days, there are many new diseases. We have to cure!

 

Caroline: That's right. However, there are other methods to replace the animal test.

 

Denny: What's that?

 

Caroline: We can replace animal test to computer. These days, technology is developing. There are many different kinds of things which are new with our technology, it will be easy enough to replace animal testing.

 

Denny: That makes sense...

 

Elizabeth: I don't agree. If we stop animal testing, the number of animals will exceed people number. Isn't it make sense?

 

Kara: Nop.. It will be good for us when animals are enough. If the numbers of animals are low, there might be no food to eat. They give people good things.

 

Elizabeth: mmm... yeah ... Ha... I..think it might be good to stop animal test and replace to computer.

 

Caroline: Once, Kara and I were workers of animal testing company. We worked hard. However, after we were fired from that company, we changed our mind to stop animal testing. We are regretting that we had tested animals.

 

Kara: It's bad to test animal. We should not test animal.

 

Elizabeth: I changed my mind

 

Denny: Me, too!

 

Explainer: Therefore, people changed their mind to stop animal testing.




A Campaign Letter From Hyuck Gyun Moon and the Media Team:


To. Companies that make animal testing cosmetic

 Hello, we are students who learn English in camp name GLPS. We are learning about global awareness. Our topic in global awareness is about animal testing. So we are now going to ask you to stop making animal testing product. The reason we are only talking to companies that make animal testing cosmetic is because cosmetic is the most useless stuff to test animals. We agree to test animal when it is really necessary. For example, we agree on space project, medical etc.

 First problem of animal testing is that it is morally wrong. People think that killing another person is very bad and we punish them. However, we don’t really care about animal’s life. Both our lives and animals lives are very important.

 Next problem of animal testing is that animal testing doesn’t really match with people. Something that is not harmful for animals could be dangerous to people. We only share 1.16% with animals. For example, thalidomide which was used to treat morning sickness was harmful to pregnant women. People who have used thalidomide had a deformed child.

 Third problem of animal testing is that there is test which can replace animal testing. It even doesn’t have to use living organism. If we have something better it’s natural to use better thing. For example, there is something called ‘Episkin’. It is fake skin of people which can replace animal testing. If we are testing cosmetic we put a cosmetic on animal’s skin, but if we have Episkin we can test it on Episkin not on animal’s skin.

 Final problem of animal testing is that we are testing animals for useless reasons. As we told you we agree on testing animal if it is really necessary but cosmetic is not very necessary. In case of medical, they have lots of things to take in and it is hard to find out side effects by prediction. But if we are talking about cosmetic it’s not going to be very dangerous. Even if something happens it is just about skin problem and it’s not going to be serious problem.

 So we are asking you guys not to make animal testing products any more.
