I.INTRODUCTION:

Whether at home, on the farm, or at the dinner table, animals play an important role in everyday human life.   They serve as companions, a source of livelihood, entertainment, inspiration, and of course food and clothing to people all across the world.   Yet animals can and do exist independent from people and, as living beings, they arguably have interests separate and apart from their utility to humanity.   As such, society is increasingly faced with legal, economic, and ethical dilemmas about the proper place for animals and the extent to which their interests should be respected, even when those interests conflict with what is best for humans.   Recognition of these issues has given rise to a new social movement, one that seeks to attain increased legal protections, and even the recognition of actual “rights”, for nonhuman animals.   Not surprisingly, this push has met with a considerable amount of criticism and ridicule from those who believe that the cost of animal rights specifically, and increased protections more generally, is a corresponding reduction in human freedom.

II.PURPOSE

Animal rights is the idea in which some, or all, non-human animals are entitled to the possession of their own lives and that their most basic interests such as the need to avoid suffering should be afforded the same consideration as similar interests of human beings. is a human responsibility that encompasses all aspects of animal well-being, including proper housing, management, disease prevention and treatment, responsible care, humane handling, and, when necessary, humane euthansia.

III.DESCRIPTION

The phrases ‘animal rights’ and ‘animal welfare’ are often used interchangeably, but in my opinion, there is actually a significant difference between the two.It boils down to the difference between “bigger cages” and “empty cages.” Those who believe in animal welfare are satisfied with larger cages, but those who support animal rights want empty cages.

Those who believe in animal welfare feel it is acceptable to use animals as long as we do so “humanely.” This means it is OK for chickens to be confined to lay eggs as long as they are cage-free. They believe it is OK to test products on animals as long as they are given some pain medications. They also believe zoos and circuses are OK if the animals are treated “kindly.”The challenge with this way of thinking is that it is impossible to confine an animal or use them in any capacity and truly be humane. Being confined in an enclosed barn may be more humane than being in a cage the size of a piece of paper, but the chickens are still robbed of sunlight and fresh air. Having shots of pain medication may make the experiments conducted on monkeys a bit more bearable, but they are still cut open, burned, and confined to cages with no interaction with other animals.

People who believe in animal rights fight against factory farming, animal experiments, fur farms, circuses, etc. They don’t believe we have the right to steal animals and confine them for our benefit. I am a strong believer in animal rights. I have spent time with many animals, and I know they are intelligent and can suffer. One of my favorite animal rights quotes is: The question is not, “Can they reason?” nor “Can they talk?”, but “Can they suffer?”There is no doubt animals can suffer. If you don’t currently believe in animal rights, I hope this post will make you stop and think. By just making simple lifestyle choices, you can change the world for so many animals who suffer needlessly for our consumption and entertainment.

What is the difference between “animal rights” and “animal welfare”? ... Animal rights  means that animals are not ours to use for food, clothing, entertainment, or experimentation. Animal welfare allows these uses as long as “humane” guidelines are followed.
