Do Animals Need A Bill Of Rights
So yesterday we saw the news in English class and it say that animals might get a bill of rights. Do you think animals deserve a bill of rights? Bill of rights equals no more meat. No more meat means no more hamburgers or hot dogs get ready for that change. Our Ancestors lived off meat,it's not right to go off tradition. If you change the ways we’re used to live then it's like saying we have no control over our life. These Little changes make a big impact in our everyday life. In nature a lion eats a ghazal everyday and you don't tell them they can't eat meat. If a lion can eat meat so can we and people have no say. Its funny how people be saying they hate

    "Tracy Reiman, an executive vice president for PETA discusses animal rights and the treatment of animals during a time of racism published in the Tribune News Service. Reiman argues that while we have progressed as a more humane society, our treatment towards animals should improve and believes that the best time to address these issues is nowas it goes hand in hand with other issues such as discrimination and wants to include species into the line of inclusivity to augment its meaning. While I agree with what she’s fighting for, specific sections in Reiman’s article made me question her argument. In paragraph 14, Reiman emphasizes her points by comparing the issue of animal rights and how we treat them to key events from the past giving a…

    For years, testing has been run at the expense of animals to protect humans from a range of products and chemicals including pesticides, cosmetics, household cleaners, and vaccines.

Is there a possibility that a better way of testing these harmful products could exist? If we must test on animals, is there a safer way? The proposed Animal Bill of Rights addresses these questions, and should be passed to protect animals from exploitation, cruelty, neglect, and abuse.…

    Should animals have the same rights as humans? This is an ongoing debate that could end in one of two ways: either animals are granted rights and the lives of animals change to benefit them while humans lives change in a way that could harm them, or animals are denied rights and life goes on just as it has for years and years. In his essay, Why Animals Deserve Legal Rights, Steven M. Wise, a specialist in animal-rights law, strives to persuade his audience to incline towards legal rights for all animals. However, one can ask the question: how can this justifiably be done?…

    Medical progress rarely occurs without raising ethical issues. These issues are not limited to the use of emerging technologies or human subjects, but extend to the use of non-human animals in medical research. While there is growing concern about the use of animals in research, it seems that supporters and critics of animal rights have focused on the wrong question. That is, whether it is ethically justifiable to use animals as subjects in research if they experience human-like qualities such as pain. Instead of arguing for the affirmative or negative for this question, I focus my attention on whether the question matters.…

    It is an undeniable fact that we as humans share our world and lives with animals and must find a way to coexist. While in most societies humans have made some form of written rule such as a constitution which clearly states the natural rights of each person, a constitution for animals that clearly states what rights they have has not been ratified in the United States. In an attempt to fix this, the Animal Legal Defense Fund has proposed a bill of rights for animals. This bill sets up guidelines and rules on how we must treat animals to ensure a more peaceful future. Unfortunately, this bill is not perfect and has several flaws.…

    The Animal Bill of Rights needs to be modified for society to be able to accept it. The world will not go to the extent of representing animals in court. Also, the proposal of giving farmed animals rights is not necessary. Giving farmed animals rights will require money for their care and keeping their conditions well kept if we are only going to kill them and use them for food afterwards. The farmers should have their own say in how they treat their animals.…

    Animals are beings living with sensitivity despite their wild nature which man himself is not without. Because of this, they deserve to be treated with respect and consideration. It is in this spirit that the Declaration of Sentiments for animals should be adopted, to limit the acts of cruelty against them. It is a step to bring man to the respect for life in all its forms for the good of the entire community to which he belongs and which he depends. Ensure the respect for Animals’ rights is necessary to ensure respect for human rights because, both are inseparable from each other.…

    In response to Animals having the same rights as humans, we have to look at the opposing viewpoint. This is a hot button issue, however, there is no existing correlation between animals feeling pain and the entirety of the world becoming a mandatory vegetarian. Animals are bred specifically to be food; many of the third-world countries use what Americans would consider pets. A fine argument can be made that America is not a “world policeman”. With ISIS becoming an ever present threat even domestically, our politicians will not allow us to engage in war.…

    Every second grader has gone to the zoo to see lions and tigers in their cages and learned about what they eat and a few interesting facts about the animals. What the second graders do not think about is how the animals got to the zoo and what a day in the life of a zoo animal really consists of. No American could ever imagine living in solitary confinement in any situation other than being punished for a crime in jail, so what makes that different for animals? They did not commit crimes, they did not do anything to deserve to be sent away to public zoos and aquariums to be punished. Animals are voiceless, they have no way to defend themselves and stand up for their rights.…

    Animal Rights Should animals have rights? If so, should these rights be comparable to those given to humans?
