What evidence would most weaken the counterclaim
presented here?
The physiologies of humans and some animals are very
similar, so the reactions of these creatures to certain
medications are the most reliable guide to the possible
reactions of human patients.
Scientists are more easily able to control an animal's
environment, such as diet and temperature, than they are
that of humans, which makes the tests far more reliable
than alternative methods.
Animals have emotions and can feel pain much as
humans do, which is why I feel that it is cruel to subject
these vulnerable creatures to unfair tests that we are

If we ban testing on animals for medical research that
could save lives, then it also must be made illegal to hunt
and kill animals simply because we would like to include

(variety may be added by including a substitute foot from time to time such as the two anapests in line 3 above.) work in small groups giving each other feedback. reading the sonnet aloud allows you to hear the words and rhythms of the lines. generate questions that will clarify the use of words and forms. for example: was the idea of the sonnet presented in the first eight lines? how was sound used to enhance the meaning of the sonnet?
