    This is because we are under the assumption that animal rights are to protect animals from unnecessary suffering. We do this by how we show animal rights propaganda. She backs this up by showing us another perspective on the way that wild animals live versus that animals that we keep in captivity. For example, she states that “75 percent of the lions cubbed do not survive to the age of two. For those who do make it to two, the average age at death is ten years.”…
