Animal rights‚ or the establishment and the idea of them being official‚ have become an increasingly interesting controversy for quite some time. The topic seems to question the common morality and ethics of man‚ while simultaneously questioning practices that target humanity’s safety‚ luxury‚ and in some cases‚ survival.
