of Colin McGinn’s arguments for animal rights is a story of shumans. In his argument he talks of a civilization of vampires who live on human blood simply because the blood taste better than the alternative. The point of the story was make the reader see that eating animals is wrong because we have other options.

Animal Rights Animal rights were made to protect the animals‚ and ensure them a life without abuse. Imagine a human society with rights‚ but no one is there to enforce it. Animals have to deal with that every day of their lives.

The Death Penalty‚ Right or Wrong? Fear of death discourages people from committing crimes. If capital punishment were carried out more it would prove to be the crime preventative it was partly intended to be. Most criminals would think twice before committing murder if they knew their own lives were at stake.

Peter Singer’s animal liberation views on animal rights are wrong and he doesn’t quite get it like William Baxter. William Baxter has a more realistic view on animal rights where Peter Singer is trying to get an impossible utopia that will never exist. Peter Signers views on animal rights are that we should collectively understand that the pain of another species is no different than the pain of ours as we discussed in class.

Not even our closest relatives among the apes possess such decided lateral asymmetry‚ as psychologists call it.
