For my Year 11 Citizenship Gcse coursework, I have chosen to focus on the ethical treatment of animals, focusing on areas such as abuse on pets in my local areas, poaching, the welfare of animals in zoos and circuses and obviously animal testing. My aim is to draw attention to the treatment that these animals are subjected to everyday, for products that are not vital to our life, and to bring about change in the way of closing down animal testing facilities and changing the methods for the products who use it.
