Animal Cruelty: The Lack Of Animal Rights

Animal rights are the privileges for all animals to live freely from any harm. There were
over 1,800 cases of animal cruelty in the past year because of the lack of animals having rights revealed in the media, with 64.5% involving dogs, 18% involving cats and the other 25% involving other animals. They should have rights because they have feelings, they are valuable, and they mean a lot to some families to the point where they’re considered to be a part of the family. Most importantly, humans are also animals, So think about how you would feel if someone had full control over you or someone you loved and did things to you that you didn’t enjoy or like. You have to think about their world from their standpoint. Yes, they are animals but they should not be less valued just because they are different from humans.
A woman in North Carolina was charged

with animal cruelty for duct tapping a dog’s mouth because of his excessively barking. Instead of tapping the dog’s mouth shut with tape she could have did something else to make the dog stop barking. Maybe the dog was hungry or injured in some type of way. She should have thought of herself being on the other end of the situation. If she was making noises because of pain or hunger she would not want anyone to duct tape her mouth shut because it would only make the situation worse. The dog might have maybe felt not cared for. Instead, as the owner she should always make the dog feel like he is wanted and appreciated.

People may not think animals have feelings, but they actually do.

They can feel and sense things just like people even though they do not react to things in the same way. There are many ways to tell that animals have feelings. A way to tell they have feelings is by looking at their faces and bodies. Their body language tells a lot about their feelings. If the animal walks around droopy then maybe he or she is sad. The most important thing to look at to tell that a animal has feelings is to look at their eyes. By looking at the outside of the animal you can tell what’s going on the inside of them.
Animals and people are different, men are different from women, and kids are different from adults. Equality is not based off of identity, so why not give animals rights? Yes, they deserve equality, but that doesn’t mean that they should get the exact same treatment as humans. Equality means that you should take consideration of animals. Humans should only be treated in a different way when there is a straightforward connected difference between them. If everyone considered animals the same to humans then we would give them

rights.
Does a animal’s life have as much as necessary value to be considered worth living? Most people think that humans life has more value than a animals life, but that’s not true. When you think about it there is nothing that makes human life more valuable than animal life. It’s a matter of outlook. Animals are valuable creatures because they play an important position in the preservation of the environment they live in. They keep the population up for certain animals, they fertilize the environment, and they clean their waste. Humans do not clean their waste and fertilize the environment, instead they destroy it. That is why we should give animals rights and not kill them. Killing them for money or making them suffer leads to extinction. Something like that shouldn’t be acceptable.

Testing animals is one thing that should be put to an complete stop. When animals are being tested they are locked up inside of a laboratory cage which causes them to feel torture, sadness, and distress. Testing animals for the use of medication is definitely not one of the best things to do. Just about all of the tests that pass in animals fail in humans so it is not healthy. Animals are also used for the test of cosmetics such as eyeliner, soap, and pesticide. The world should not want materialistic things so badly that it should ruin an animals life.
90% of pet owners consider their pet to be an actual member of their family. There are many reasons that people think of their pets as being a part of the family. Animals are very smart. They are not less intelligent than humans, they just have a different form of showing their intelligence. If an animal is kept as a pet they are usually very protective over their owner. They form deep friendships and relations just like humans, so having an animal as a pet keeps some people from being lonely.
Animals shouldn’t have the exact same rights as humans but they should still be treated in the best humane way as possible. If they had the type of rights they deserve then no one would be allowed to use them for experiments, people wouldn’t be allowed to breed them so that way the animals would have to breed naturally. The most important thing is that no one would be allowed to hunt them. Their freedoms would range from living hunger and thirst free, they wouldn’t suffer from pain, injury and diseases, and they would have the freedom to express behaviors that would advance well being.
All animals deserve to live their lives free from not having to suffer or to be taken advantage of. When you think of animal rights you should not ask yourself do they have logical thought or can they speak, the main thing you should ask yourself is whether they can feel pain

because just like humans, they can. They suffer, they feel amusement, distress, irritation, and sadness, so basically they have all the emotions that humans feel and have. Animals have a natural value that is entirely different from what humans use them for. When we wear leather or fur materials, eat fast food burgers, or even go fishing we should always think about the collision of the operation on the animals associated. If someone would never eat a cat or dog then why eat a pig or cow? They all feel the same pain but prejudgement is what makes humans think it is okay.
The animals we eat , use for research, hunt, or confine and harass in many different ways have lives that mean a lot to them separately from the benefit of humans. They are mindful of being alive just like humans so whatever happens to them matters to them. Humans are not separate from the animal kingdom, we are a segment of it as well. We can become peaceful with life only if we learn to live properly with others such as animals. They suffer just as much as we do.
No one should eat, wear, or use any living thing that could have emotions towards being killed or being kept locked away. Just imagine what it feels like for a cow, pig, dog, cat or any other animal to feel fright , extreme fear, or discomfort everywhere they go. Any human being should not want to cause that much ache to any animal or even see any animal feel that much pain. If you see that a animal is being abused you should still speak up about the situation. By not saying anything could make you in the wrong also. You might not be the one doing the harm to the animal but you are still responsible for what you don’t do.

jail and prison who are sentenced because of rape or murder. Animal rights lets us as humans know that some things are simply wrong to do to animals and animals certainly do not deserve to go through any torture because of humans.
