Animals have children, just like people. They have to eat, just like people. They have to sleep, just like people. And just as people do, they need respect. Tom Regan, author of the book The Case For Animal Rights, has this to say about the respect given to animals in the U.S. "The (animal) rights view is not anti-business, not anti-freedom, not anti-science, not even antihuman. It's simply pro justice, insisting the scope of justice will be seen to include respect for animal rights."(Regan 96) In relationship with his quote, his book also has this to say about respect. According to the "Universal Declaration of the Rights of Animals" the four general rights that animals possess are as follows. 1) A

The moral behavior in which the Koyukon Eskimos believe leads perfectly into the next rule of animal rights. The third rule of animal rights, that to is widely over looked, says that animals shall have the right to live in their own habitat. The Koyukon have always believed that what animals own, will always be theirs. The Europeans, believing that everything they find will belong to them, have inhabited this country and have pushed animals further and further into land that, according to this right, belongs to the animals. Ever sense taking control over the land, sky, and water in America we have been invading the animals space, giving them less and less room in which to live. We have trapped animals in an unfamiliar world of technology of commerce. And in today's society of commerce, legality and morality are built on different foundations and what the law allows morally sometimes forbids. The moral aspects of today's society are built on the idea that all creatures remain the same and therefore deserve the same treatment. In a column written about bear hunting, a hunter was asked about his "personal views on hunting". In his response he said that, "Hunting is legal therefore not immoral...there is substantial, biological support for bear hunting." (Finsen 47) His defense rests simply on legality, and at no time did he consider the moral aspects of hunting. On one ground he is right, he may legally kill a bear, but it is ethically and morally wrong to do so.

When brought to the attention of society, the second rule of animal rights is the hope that man, has an animal species, will protect the well being of animals. Although morals tell us to follow this as the golden rule to animal rights, human beings tend to ignore their conscience and follow what whatever path leads to success in fame and fortune. To behold that fame and fortune, animals are killed everyday by poachers, hunters, and even well respected scientists. Animals are slaughtered for their furs, horns, and even make-up. Every year 3,000 to 6,000 plants and animals are listed under the Endangered Species Act. And the U.S. is losing species at a rate comparable to that of tropical Brazil. The number of animals killed all over the world is immense. Nearly 100,000,000 birds and 50,000,000 mammals a
