Does the society believe that animals should have rights? Society believes that animals are not like humans so the animals get treated inhumanely, but they are wrong. Studies have shown that animals are more like humans than previously thought and that they are more aware. The way society treats animals is inhumane because animals can feel pain, have similar characteristics to humans, and are self-aware. The way society treats animal is inhumane and should change because they can feel pain. In the article, “Hooked on a Myth” by Victoria Braithwaite she explains that fish have similar responses to pain as humans do. Braithwaite wrote, “Well, fish find these naturally irritating chemicals unpleasant too.

When fish feel pain they begin to get agitated and they act similar to what humans do when feeling pain. Another example that fish can feel pain is explained by Braithwaite, “If you look at thin sections of the trigeminal nerve, the main nerve for the face for all vertebrates, fish have the same two types of nociceptors that we do-A delta and C fibers. So they do have the necessary sensory wiring to detect pain” (Braithwaite 62). It is explained in the quote that fish have the same two types of nociceptors that humans do, so fish would be able to feel pain just like humans would. Another reason why society should…

William Shakespeare had a way with words, unlike any other person that stepped foot on this earth. He is known for creating a lot of the words that we still use today. This helped Shakespeare when expressing his love since he would often express his love through his writings. One can see examples of this in “Sonnet 18: Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day” and “Sonnet 130: My Mistress’ Eyes Are Nothing Like the Sun.” As one can tell from the titles, these are drastically different poems.
