Animals shouldn't have rights but they do need some lawful considerations. Since you have to be a human to decipher and defend rights, then animals don't have any. Although there should be laws set to help protect animals but not from themselves, from us. The one creature on this planet that hurt animals the most are people. Too many people think that it's all right to harm animals. Even Tom Regan says that animals are here for us and that it doesn't matter if they get hurt (430). One of the many ways people harm animals are by animal research.

Animal research isn't just studying and trying out different cancer treatments or cures for diseases on animals. Some experiments were done out of curiosity. There have been studies published by the Mobilization for Animals (M.F.A.). "Animals are given intense, repeated electric shocks until they lose the ability even to scream in pain; ... animals are subjected to crushing forces that smash their bones and rupture their internal organs" (King 696). These are only some of the experiments that we do know about. There are many that have gone unreported.

My grandfather used to tell us sto

Another form of animal cruelty that humans perform is factory farming. People put calves in boxes to prevent them from moving around too much. This keeps their muscles from getting tough. They will make tender veal cuts this way. Until they are slaughtered, they are made to live in that box all day long in their feces. They are only allowed to eat and sleep. Cows are also farmed but not in boxes. They are mass produced or rather made to breed. The more cattle you have ready for slaughtering the more money will be coming in from profit.

If you kicked your pet on purpose or even by accident, you would more than likely hear it make some kind of noise. It would sound like a squeal, yelp, or scream from pain. Animals do suffer when they are in pain. They cry, scream, and whine, when they are suffering. It would be impossible to measure the amount of pain an animal is in without communication and complete understanding. Since we can't measure any pain that they feel, and we don't always know when they are in pain, then we should ban all research on animals. Even in the realm of nature or even in domestic capacity there aren't any animal experimentations done. Animals don't use each other for cures or other research. People don't use their pets for cancer research either.

The grain that it takes to feed the cows and calves could feed more people than the meat from these animals themselves. There isn't much nutritional value that remains in the meat from the grain. There is only about ten percent in the meat for people to eat (Singer 55). It isn't necessary to eat these factories farmed animals. People would be healthier eating the food that can be made from the gr
