Animal rights could be defined as rights that protect the lives and wellbeing of animals. It includes, but is not limited to, domesticated animals, like pets and farm…

Declaration of Human Rights and the Bill of Rights are based on the same principles of having natural human rights; therefore, guaranteeing individuals will have those rights from birth. With those natural rights, each document will and has determined what exactly those rights are and chose to protect them.
