ANIMAL RIGHTS
Did you have any idea how many animals were used as pets, as food, as prey and clothing, as entertainment, as experiment subjects? Have you ever seen cages crowded with chickens, and some live chicken living with dead chickens, or cows being placed on dirty barns where their head to toe are caked on mud and feces, or dogs that are tied outside the houses of inhumane owners not letting them have a shelter to stay with? Do animals deserve to have rights to a have a home, to feel loved, to have food and water, to have proper medical attention? All animals, especially those that live with us, such as dogs and cats, deserve to be treated with the same decency that we treat each other with. Animals are like human beings too.
Let us first define what is Animal Rights.

In another definition, given by Merriam- Webster dictionary, it is primarily against being killed and being treaded cruelly, that are thought to be possessed by a higher human animals (e.g. chimpanzees) and many lower ones by virtue of their sentence. By all means, we can say that animal rights cover how animals can avoid cruelty and giving respect to them. Although humans and these creatures are not totally equal, they should be treated the same way individuals are. A lot of issues are to be considered to understand how the animal rights came from.
