The animal right

ĵgıDĦG Animals should have "animal rights" that just like human should have human right. Do you think this conception apply to current society? Yes,I think that more and more people pay attention to animals rights in corrent society. However,there are still many people abuse their pets or other animals. It's a pity. As for me,I hope people can treat animals friendly. "animal rights" as an objective is a gross mi$nomer in regards to domestic animals. Though animal welfare people and "aras" both want the same thing in regards to people's money, they want completely different things in regards to the animals people are making donations trying to help. While AW strives to provide decent lives for domestic animals, "ar" strives to prevent domestic animals from existing at all. "aras" exploit AW issues in order to obtain millions of dollars each year to aid in their effort to eliminate the same animals people are sending them money trying to help: __________________________________________________ _______ .. . . Not only are the philosophies of animal rights and animal welfare separated by irreconcilable differences, and not only are the practical reforms grounded in animal welfare morally at odds with those sanctioned by the philosophy of animal rights, but also the enactment of animal welfare measures actually impedes the achievement of animal rights. .. . . There are fundamental and profound differences between the philosophy of animal welfare and that of animal rights. .. . . Many animal rights people who disavow the philosophy of animal welfare believe they can consistently support reformist means to abolition ends. This view is mistaken, we believe, for moral, practical, and conceptual reasons. .. . . welfare reforms, by their very nature, can only serve to retard the pace at which animal rights goals are achieved. .. . .

Animal rights is a philosophical view and personal value characterized by statements by various animal rights groups. Animal welfare and animal rights are not synonymous terms. The AVMA wholeheartedly endorses and adopts promotion of animal welfare as official policy; however, the AVMA cannot endorse the philosophical views and personal values of animal rights advocates when they are incompatible with the responsible use of animals for human purposes, such as companionship, food, fiber, and research conducted for the benefit of both humans and animals. http://www.avma.org/policies/animalwelfare.asp ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ __________________________________________________ _______ "Let us allow the dog to disappear from our brick and concrete jungles--from our firesides, from the leather nooses and chains by which we enslave it." --John Bryant, Fettered Kingdoms: An Examination of A Changing Ethic (Washington, DC: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PeTA), 1982), p. 15.
