INTRODUCTION
 Animal rights is the idea in
which some, or all, non-
human animals are entitled to
the possession of their own
existence and that their most
basic interests—such as the
need to avoid suffering—
should be afforded the same
consideration as similar
interests of human beings.
 They maintain that animals
should no longer be viewed as
property or used as food, clothing,
research subjects, entertainment,
or beasts of burden
Animal Rights
Belief that animals should not be exploited. People belief
that animals should not be used for food, clothing,
entertainment, medical research, or product testing. This
includes the use of animals in rodeos, zoos, circuses, and
even as pets. They believe it is ethically, morally, and
inherently wrong to use animals for human purposes under
any condition. Animals should not be used in experiments
in which diseases and various therapy methods are studied.
Historical development
 Aristotle argued that animals lacked reason (logos),
and placed humans at the top of the natural world, yet
the respect for animals in ancient Greece was very
high. Some animals were considered divine, e.g.
dolphins. In the Book of Genesis 1:26 (5th or 6th
century BCE), Adam is given "dominion over the fish
of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the
cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the earth." Dominion need
not entail property rights, but it has been interpreted,
by some, over the centuries to imply ownership
 Animal rights activists argue that
modern farming is inhumane and that
eating meat is unhealthy. They contend
that modern farming is controlled by
large corporations that care only about
profits and not about the welfare of
animals.
 Farmers have led the way in animal
welfare. It has always been in their best
interest to care for animals humanely
and to see that they are well-fed and free
of diseases.
 Farming in the US is not controlled by
large corporations. Of the 2.2 million
farms in the US, 97% are family owned
and operated; only 7,000 are non-family-
controlled corporations.
 No studies can substantiate that a
vegetarian diet is healthier than a diet
that includes meat, milk, and eggs.
 Animals are used in three areas of
experimentation:
 - research in biomedical &
behavior sciences
 - testing of products for their
safety
 - education where animals
are used for demonstrations &
dissections
 Animal rights activists believe that
animal experimentation is
unethical and unnecessary and that
alternatives to animal
experimentation should be used.
 Animals should be used only when
no other alternatives exist. Many
people believe that animal
experimentation and research hold
the key to successful cure of AIDS,
cancer, and heart disease.
 Animal rights activists believe
that regulated recreational
hunting and trapping is
inhumane and unnatural.
They also believe that hunters
and trappers kill merely to
inflict suffering. They would
also like to see a stop to the
use of hunting dogs. Animal
rights activists also claim that
hunting and trapping does
not prevent overpopulation,
that hunting for food is
unnecessary, and that
hunting should be banned
completely.
ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS
 REPEATED PROTESTS
 DECISION MAKING ABILITY
 AVOID / MINIMIZE EXPERIMENTATION
 CONSEQUENTIALIST JUSTIFICATION
ETHICS
 MORAL STATUS - (HUMANS = ANIMALS)
 SPECIESISM (like racism) (inflicting pain on
human/animal is equally wrong)
 ETHICAL SELF-EXAMINATION
(self-analysis of one's own personal and scientific
motives)
 ETHICAL REVIEWS & AUDIT
ACADEMICIANS & RESEARCHERS
 SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGHS
 ANTIBIOTICS, DRUGS, VACCINES
 MEDICAL PROCEDURES, TOXICOLOGY
 XENO TRANSPANTATION OF ORGANS
Animal welfare
 " Animal welfare " describes a broad spectrum of
views, while animal rights are more absolute. For
example, some animal welfare advocates might want a
ban on fur, while others might believe that fur is
morally acceptable if the animals are
killed "humanely" and do not suffer for too long in a
trap. "Animal welfare" may also be used describe the
speciesist view that certain animals (e.g. dogs, cats,
horses) are more deserving of protection than others
(e.g. fish, chickens, cows).
