Animal Rights

JORDON C All suffering degrades quality of life, and should be prevented whenever possible. Since humans have the capacity to make animals suffer, animals must have legal rights to protect them from wrongful treat meant.



(point) When animals are used for scientific or entertainment purpose, they suffer unnecessarily. This is wrong cause animals are not objects. Just like humans, animals share some experiences like suffering. Everyday humans cause animal suffering in Laboratories, animals are purposely infected with diseases. Factory farm animals never see the light of day, while in butchering facilities the animals are skinned alive. the list of human atrocities againts animals is endless. Most incidents of animals cruelty can be prevented. For example Vegetarianism is a healthy, alternative option that decreases the demand of meat, while fur and leather can be replaced by synthetic alternatives


(counterpoint) A great amount of time, energy, and ink has been devoted to discussion of the moral and ethical arguments surrounding animals rights. There are between three and four hundred animal rights groups operating in Canada. While some of the work that such groups carry out is worth wild and protective of animals. Animal rights activists seek the total abolition of any and all kinds of exploitation of animals. Some animal right activists have succeeded in drawing attention to abusive and inhumane uses of animal experimentation and testing producers. Others unfortunately, are misguided by a twisted logic that somehow places the welfare of animals above the welfare of humans. This has Left to a long list of incidents that includes fire bombing, tampering with food products. physical assaults causing severe bodily harm, property damage, arsons, death threats, and variety of other acts that speaks less about the actual concern for the well-being of animals, and more about the need for violence, destruction, attention and exposure.

I think animal rights are a good thing because there is alot of people out there abusing animals, letting them suffer and starve. But with animal rights some animals can get away from all that and live the normal lives they are suppose to.
