Introduction
Thesis: An animal should be given rights because the way they are currently being treated is unethical and it should be banned. These animals are victims of factory farming, they are being hunted, and they are being tested on in laboratories.
II. Body Paragraph 1: The method of factory farming has contributed to the abuse that animals have been receiving for many of years.

With hunting, animals stress out because they are being shot at, chased after, and they become fearful from hunting which can end up ruining the animals hibernation or migration process.
IV. Body Paragraph 3: Finally, animals should be given rights because they are being used in laboratories for human purposes and end up being harmed emotionally and physically. A.
