  • Essay / Animal rights versus human morality - 1471

    Rights come from the ability to think, not from the ability to suffer. Many people can agree that animals need rights to be able to stay alive and be safe.

The lives of animals are at stake because of the actions of human beings. Animals do not need rights to be protected. Human beings must learn to behave morally, rather than respect the rights of animals, even though the absence of cruelty does not make an act morally good.

If humans treated other humans the same way they treat animals, things would be very different. When ethical and humane treatments are practiced and transmitted, people will be more satisfied with the care provided to animals. They will therefore consider this an animal right. It will no longer be a fight between animal rights and human morality. Works Cited Fracione, Gary L. Animal Rights: The Abolitionist Approach. August 1, 2013. Document. September 13, 2013.
