Every day animals are abused, hunted, murdered for fun and made to do hard labour.

"Animal rights advocates are campaigning for no cages, while animal welfarists are campaigning for bigger cages"

No one is saying animals should have access to; the right to vote, freedom of religion and the right to an education. However many people forget that animals are NOT emotionless machines with no feelings.

non-human animals are conscious beings not machines or objects

non-human animals have interests of their own

human beings should respect the interests of non-human animals

human beings should not exploit non-human animals

human beings should not treat non-human animals as objects

human beings should not kill non-human animals just because they can with no legal action taken. 

The right to Animal Rights would also include, no animal testing. Think of it from a human perspective. How would you feel if you or your family were taken away and locked up in cages where their isn't enough room to stand or move?Then held down where you are repeatedly injected with random diseases and fluids which you have no idea what they are?
Then to be left, suffering, contagious, tired, helpless in your cage until your death?

Animals are raped to produce more offspring. Taken away from their families when they are just days old, skinned to be made into fur coats for vanity and hunted in the wild for fun and to take parts of their bodies to sell for money. 

Many people will argue, "Animal testing is the only way to find new cures for diseases" but its not..
There are other ways we can do scientific testing without abusing vulnerable animals. What about all these prisoners who have committed awful crimes or that have torn families apart by taking their loved ones? Why should they not suffer instead of innocent animals that have done no harm?

Every day videos and images are posted all over the internet showing awful animal abuse, under the hands of us human beings, and no one has tried to prevent this from happening.

Im sure you would take a stand if this was all happening to you or someone you know.. so why not stand up for animals?

Just because they can not stand up and speak for themselves, does not mean they don't have a voice.

Be the difference and make a change for the better.
