ERWC 21 October 2013 “Body Paragraphs” PARA 1: I believe animals do not need a Bill of Rights because they already have plethora of laws that protect all of their basic needs. For example‚ Germany has already passed laws to protect the basic rights of Ape’s. In the article “primates” they said‚ “The Green Party in Germany is preparing two bills supporting the Great Ape Project”(Yong).

What is animal welfare? What are animal rights? These two terms are often confused to be the same thing‚ but actually have two different meanings. Animal welfare refers to “the protection of the health and well-being of animals.” Animal rights refers to the “the rights of animals to be protected from exploitation and abuse by humans” (Collins Dictionary).

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

Many people do not understand animal rights and how we should treat them equally and why.

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. This is a utilitarian view‚ which focuses on the suffering and/or pleasure of beings as morally valuable. The subject of animal cruelty has existed for a multitude of years

people think that an animal would choose any differently? Animal rights and welfare usually are put into the same category or on the same side of an argument‚ but they do have a difference in the fact of the rights of humans using animals. According to Abigail Geer‚ an easy way to define the difference between these two ideas is that “animal rights advocates are campaigning for no cages‚ while animal welfarists are campaigning for bigger cages” ("Animal Welfare and Animal Rights"). There are very many

The justification for conferring rights on animals is that animals are in many important ways like humans. Animals are sentient creatures. They feel pleasure and pain‚ experience emotions‚ remember‚ anticipate and learn. What happens to them is important for them‚ unlike what happens to a rock or a stone. So‚ if you argue that humans deserve rights‚ by simple extension you can argue that animals also deserve rights. The menu at Mcdonald’s are mostly made of meat. From burgers
