Animal Rights Now days, the issue on animal rights is highly debatable, and the ideas vary from person to person. The issue of whether we should protect animal rights. It is an important issue because it concerns human’s fundamental moral and animal’s impartial rights. For many years, scientists have used animals to test new drugs and for food. Many animals died in experiments. Poultry could not satisfy the taste of humans anymore, so hunters and fishermen started to catch wild animals and sea animals for human needs. Much disagreement exists concerning the rights of non-human animals and the meaning of animal rights. Some people believe that animals should be treated in the same way as humans with similar rights, whereas others consider the importance of using them as desired food and medical research. As a result, animal rights have become a relevant issue. Humans must employ animals to satisfy their various needs, including uses for food and research. According to “California biomedical research association,” the researchers explained the reason for animal use in biomedical research. They claimed “animals are biologically similar to humans” so that “animals are susceptible to many of the same health problems as humans” (“Why”). Furthermore, animals live a shorter life cycle than humans; as a result, they can be studied throughout their entire life span or across several generations. The third reason for animal use concerns scientists who can easily control the environment around animals, which would be difficult to do with humans (“Why”). Considering the safety of new products, use animals to test approved as the best way. Some vegan proponents think that animals should not provide food. However, people find many reasons to eat meat which is incredibly nutritious and does not raise the risk of cardiovascular disease (Gunnars).
However, some people believe that animals should not be exploited by
