April 7, 2016 Animal Rights Animals. They have a brain, a nervous system, and they communicate through sound. Sound familiar? Like a human? In reality there are only a few differences between human and animal biologically. So why do we treat them so differently. We won’t test on ourselves for risky things so why are we doing it to animals? Animals should not be used for testing because they can feel it, they are helpless, and many of animals die from it every year.
Animals should have rights. However, they are necessary for human existence to be used as food, but that’s what the creation of animals was made for. Not for testing medicine, cosmetics, and etc on. Animals should have rights

So instead of using the term “animal rights,” people should use the term “animal welfare.” Animals don’t have the same rights or even close to the same rights as us humans. Animal welfare states that we know that animals may be used for certain purposes but shouldn’t be mistreated or abused. Some people say that animals behave selfishly, and only look out for themselves and their own interests. Since animals don’t behave morally they don’t deserve to be treated morally by human beings. If we want animals to have rights like us humans then that means we can’t breed or kill them for …show more content…
They shouldn’t be tested on because they don’t do anything to deserve to be tested on. Animals feel pain just like us humans, so if we aren’t treated with that disrespect then why should animals. It’s not fair to the animals. Many animals die each year from how brutal the testing is. After some testing, the testers decide to just dispose of the animals themselves in inhumane ways like the breaking of the neck, or in a more humane way by putting them under medically. But either way, the life of a helpless animal is being ended for no reason, when this life could be being used for the comfort of a human, or for food, depending on the animal it is.
Animals should have rights for a good amount of reasons. Animals should be treated with care and respect. Animals don’t deserve to be tested or harm in anyway because they didn’t do anything. Animals should have at least some rights so we can improve how animals are abused, tested, and disrespected by humans. Would you want your pet to be taken away for testing? Would you want to watch the brutality of it? If not, then why let another animal go through this.

    Animal rights are the benefits that people give to animals. Benefits that people give from human use and abuse and the right to protection from human use and abuse and rights can take the moral, legal and practical forms. According to Rifkin 's article “ A change of heart about animals” there is evidence that animals do feel pain and love. For example, elephants moan when they lose a loved one, Koko knows sign language and understands bunch of words, pigs the react differently when they get what they want or when the allowed to play. And around the world and U.S people really don’t take these points into consideration.…

    There has been an ongoing debate on whether it is logical to have animal rights or not. You can either say that animal rights is foolish because animals are not developed enough to understand human behavior and they do not experience the same struggles as humans, therefore, they should not be given the same rights. On the other hand, one who supports animal rights, might say that animals should be given rights because even though they may not have the same human experiences, they do experience physical pain, emotion, and stress. They are still living beings, which makes it our responsibility to preserve the welfare of animals. Well what do you think?…

    Every animal has rights and their own dignity. Just because they are incapable of exercising those rights, doesn’t mean we are allowed to preform tests on them. They do not deserve to be randomly tested or killed for the benefit of the humane race.

    There are many alternatives to animal testing and excuses need to stop being made to keep animal testing in business. It may seem like it is the only option, but there are so many new ways to do the exact same test in ways which do not involve animals at all. It is cruel and inhumane to keep animals in small cages and not only physically, but also mentally harm them. Artist Leonardo Da Vinci once said, “The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.” The time for animals to be treated similarly to humans can be…

    Animal Rights Should animals have rights? If so, should these rights be comparable to those given to humans? Animal Rights are rights believed to be owed to animals in order for them to live full lives, free from suffering. Animals are currently being used, and in some cases abused, in medical research, clothing industries, hunting for sport, food, and population control, and countless other services to humans. As is the case with all ethical issues, there are two defined perspectives and supporters of the current and future treatment given and due to animals.…

    Do you really believe that animals should have the same rights as us humans? If you think about this, passing a Bill of Rights for animals could go against centuries of human culture, increase the cost of food, hinder medical research, and may cause other problems. I believe that animals should not have a Bill of Rights. My first reason is that such a law would go against human culture because we as people run the world. Can animals even work, cook, clean, or even talk, think about it.…
