have the moral rights nonhuman animals? What kind of legal status should we give them? This debate has become hugely confusing. Some activist animal rights maintain that we must allow other animals have the same rights as humans. Of course‚ this is absurd.

Each year in the United States‚ an estimated 70 million animals are maimed‚ blinded‚ scalded‚ force-fed chemicals and otherwise hurt and killed because of animal testing.
