Animal Rights: Turning the Tables

Abraham Lincoln once said "Whenever I hear that there is a person discussing slavery, I am strongly anxious to try it personally." A strong comparison between slaves (Day, 1994). Millions of animals are killed each year when they are used for testing and entertainment. Because some animals may say there is no emotion, it is acceptable to use them for this type of activity. Still, there is a big problem as to whether animals should have the right.

In addition, this agreement includes animals of the Animal Rights Action Center, including animal industries that become food, clothes, become competitors, become actors, or become tools. Given the scientific facts we know, people outside of our behavior should be able to understand why ARA chose these animals for our special interests. If other mammals and birds are subject to life like us, how can we have two different ethics? One is to specify how to treat each other or what to do. animal? When this seemingly simple problem becomes a reality, many people can only think seriously about animal rights in one step.

In every discussion about animal rights, the problem that often happens is that we need to distinguish companion animals (such as dogs and cats) from other animals. Obviously, it is a much easier discussion to occupy the animal's right to our house and restrict it to the companion animals near us. But this distinction places too much pressure on science and our sympathy and we are not exploring this problem deeper. It is easy to distinguish between companion animals and other animals, but this ignores the fact that noncompanion animals like chimpanzees have a genetic structure very similar to ours. (1) They also have the ability to experience tremendous pain. (2) Therefore, it is recommended that Rover or Katie possess rights and values ​​beyond property, but because it does not own chimpanzees, it is ridiculously a conclusion. A chimpanzee can be regarded as just a thing

One of the most absurd objections is a discussion when considering the perception of animals, which in turn leads to consideration of animal rights. In other words, animals are similar. Despite the fact that this is certainly not the case - when applied to humans, the same thing is regarded as racial discrimination, this argument is also used to prove human oppression - animals And what is the relationship between mankind and perception and animal rights?
