Humans do not own the Earth. Animals are not obligated to provide them any services‚ despite the objections of many people. Animals are constantly poked‚ probed‚ or burned for the benefit of the human race. We are allowed medicines that cure or treat chronic illnesses due to the sacrifices made by animals‚ yet we treat them with disrespect because we see them as inferior. An Animal Bill of Rights is necessary. Animals should be protected as much as human beings are‚ because without them we may not

Aquinas’ quote‚ "That animals are intended for man’s use in the natural order. Hence it is not wrong for man to make use of them‚ either by killing or in any other way whatever." 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.

It is wrong for us to take animals like we own them and lock them up for our own uses (Animal Rights). The animals never have a release date so they are kept until they are useless or dead. Animal testing is morally wrong‚ and is causing death of animals. The animals all get stuck in poor conditions‚ terrible

All animals have rights. Unfortunately‚ these rights are perceived to be to some degree because of the traditional belief that animals only have instrumental value. According to Tom Regan’s essay Case for Animal Rights‚ all animals have moral value. If an animal has the ability feel pain‚ they should have moral consideration.
