I formed my first opinion. In my heart I know that animals weren’t just put on this earth to be used by man‚ animals feel pain‚ and have feelings‚ and we have a moral obligation to respect that. Joseph Rikaby said‚ "Brute beasts‚ not having understanding and therefore not being person‚ cannot have any rights. The conclusion is

    The difference between “right” and “wrong” is rarely plainly clear. Dozens of wars have been fought over the centuries that have been driven by differing moral beliefs. These rights‚ and actions motivated by them‚ are justified by a society’s collective morals‚ which begs the question- who decides what the collective belief of an entire society is? Some seem relatively clear—the right to life‚ the right to work—while others are significantly cloudier— how does my right to own property and freely

    There are a variety of different views on how animals should be treated and what rights they deserve if any. Some align themselves with the German philosopher Immanuel Kant‚ whose philosophy in regards to animals derives from a very human centric point of view. Kant argues that because non-human animals aren’t rational or self-conscious beings‚ they aren’t ends-in-themselves and as such don’t need to have rights.
