Argumentative Essay Regarding Animal Rights As Humans

Over 2 million animals are killed every year, almost all of these animals had never felt the embrace of a loving person. Animal rights are very conservational because some people think animals are things, they do not see them as living beings, and just see them as if they are just something that can be replaced. Everything done to animals have emotional effects on them and they are not things that just do not feel pain. Animals should have similar rights as humans because animals feel pain just as much as humans do, have emotions just as humans, and they have things that humans have.

Animals feel just as much pain as a human. Animals have different ways of showing pain. Like dogs yelp when in pain and rabbits yell, and mice squeal. (Nolan) Animals that are being tested on are injected multiple times in the same area over and over for long periods of time with no numbing medication. Painful screws put through monkeys skulls with them being wide awake and no knowing what is going on. (Nolan) Animals are put through many painful experiments that can involve testing new drugs to getting infected with diseases, poisoning from toxic testing, burned skin, that can cause brain damage,

implanting electrodes into the brain, permanently damaging them, blinding, and other painful and harmful procedures. (neavs) Stated in Nolan’s ‘do animals feel pain like humans?’ “Studies show as a subjective emotion, pain can be experienced even in the absence of physical tissue damage, and the level of feeling can be modified by other emotions including fear, memory and stress.” Showing and proving that animals feel pain and stress! Just as humans do.
Animals have just as much emotion as humans do and go through metal illnesses just as humans.

Stated in ‘Do animals have emotions?’ “Research has shown that mice are empathic rodents, but it turns out they’re fun-loving as well. We also read accounts of pleasure-seeking iguanas; amorous whales; angry baboons; elephants who suffer from psychological flashbacks and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD—elephants have a huge hippocampus, a brain structure in the limbic system that’s important in processing emotions); grieving otters, magpies and donkeys.” Showing that animals can have metal illnesses just as a human. Animals value things just as much as any humans do. Animals are not things that just can just go through life with no emotional attachments to anything, animals have

emotions.
Animals have things that most humans do not have. They have respect for others, they care and love for humans and their own kind. They need someone just like any humans, they love each other and will stay together. (Gregoire) Science has found out a lot about the inner lives of species, an amount of research has offered the emotional lives of animals. We now know that animals have a point of view and that they experience deep feelings. (Bekoff) Animals can feel others emotions, they will love even if they have been hurt or love when there is nothing to love, and they have their own way of talking to each other. Showing intelligence. (Gergoire)
People are against animal rights because animals do not have souls, God gave humans dominion over the animals, humans are logically superior to animals, animals do not reason, think, or feel pain like humans do, animals are a natural resource to be used as humans see fit, animals kill each other. (Gale) These are the reasons that animal rights is such a conservational topic because people see animals as if they are things. Animals can be replaced, animals do not have a sense of companion, and feel no emotion. Some people do not care about any animal than their own house pet. But even house pets are eaten and killed. Locked in cages. Neglected animals, not just dogs but horses, cows, pigs, zoo animals, and even animals in sanctuary’s where they are supposed to be protected.
Animal rights should have the same rights as humans because animals have almost everything a human has. They can feel the pain that they are put through, they have emotions, and they have value. Animals are living being that have just as much value as a human’s life does. Animals are greatly aware about everything that his happening around them and to them. Animals can sense others emotions by the actions of the person or animal. The feelings that animals have can be directly traced back to human feelings. Animals can have metal illnesses just as humans, they get stressed, they will stop eating, they will distant themselves from others because of sadness. Animals are rapidly killed it should be more noticed than it is.
