Recommended: The need of animal rights

What is the difference between animal rights and animal welfare? Although animal rights and animal welfare have the same idea - to protect animals, they are very much different. Concisely, animal rights, it is not acceptable to use animals in anyway at all; animal welfare, animals can be used as long as it is legal and the animal doesn't suffer in anyway at all. It is important to know how to contradistinguish between the two because if you would like to support an animal activist group you should know what that particular group is for. A example of a animal rights group is People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). ““PETA believes that animals deserve the most basic rights. These include consideration of their own best interests

    I will admit that PETA has done some things that go along with their animal rights ways and have helped many animals in need.

This is People for the Ethical Treatment of Animal’s side, However there is always two sides to each story.

  • The Animal Welfare Act (RSPCA)

    479 Words  | 1 Pages

    Animal welfare is a term that came into use after the federal Animal Welfare Act passed in 1966. The term is used by research compliance inspectors employed by the government, by those who work in shelters, and by veterinarians and scientists employed by companies, hospitals, and universities that perform animal research, all of whom are charged with ensuring that detailed regulations are followed when using animals in research. People who promote animal welfare believe in the controlled use of animals in research under the strict guidelines of the Animal Welfare Act and its numerous amendments. Proactive animal welfare advocates also adopt the same high standards for the use of rats, mice, and birds in research, which are not presently included in the Animal Welfare Act as currently amended.

  • Animal Rights Vs Animal Welfare

    750 Words  | 2 Pages

    Animal Rights and Animal Welfare? Two totally different things; one implies that animals should have the equality of humans, and the other implies that animals must be treated with respect, and cared for properly. Animal Welfare is the act of respecting, and caring for animals properly, and Animal Rights is wanting animals treated the same as humans. Now, the issue with this is, animals are used on a daily basis; varying from clothing to shoes, to ingestion, and scientific research. My opinion on it is that animals cannot be treated equally as humans, for they need us just as much as we need them. Over time, animals have been domesticated to depend on humans and that is exactly what has happened. For example, they now depend on us for

With this in mind, PETA’s use of sexually explicit and misogynistic ads makes sense. The group is attempting to reach male meat eaters (“Make your ‘stock’ rise”) and assume the familiar patriarchal subject cannot and should not change. The reiteration of such advertisements show that apparently you have to keep participating in the traditional construction of maleness
