Animals have rights OP-ED Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Melissa S., Canada Nov 4, 2002
Environment   Opinions

  

Do animals have rights? The answer to that is yes.
There are:
Make-up: Because in labs rabbits are being tested for human products such as skin cream, beauty products, eye irritation, ect.
Food: Lots of people eat animals for their daily meal. For example tuna, dolphin friendly brands, catch tuna with dolpins in their nets and don't bother to let the dolphins go. People called whalers hunt for whales and kill them to sell underground.
Clothing: People are killing animals for their fur and animals die from this process and if the animal does not die they will freeze in winter. Some animals with skin are killed for making intruments like drums.
Circuses: In Russia bears are in russian circuses. If the bears don't obey their trainer they will be killed.
Animals are like human being. So if people have rights animal hqave rights too.

I enjoy writing about many world issues. I feel very connected to my writing. I have just began to write poems, which I think are fairly good. Most of my writing are just facts, so people understand the importance of the issue. That is why they are so short and sweet, so people will read, and remember, and hopefully take action.

you have written a great article. hopefully more people who claim to "love animals" and "respect nature" will realize what is done everyday to animals everywhere.

I agree with you that animals have rights, just as much as we, humans do. They are living creatures and have mothers, like us. Like our mothers, their mothers are going to get worried when they're gone missing or perhaps hurt or even killed. Just like the how kidnapped girl, Cecilia Zhang's mother felt when. Like us, they'd also want to live a peaceful life. Not a dull and poorly treated life we're giving them. Everyone should know how sad and lonely it’s going to be when they’re locked in a cage everyday and being used to do something they don’t want to do. I'd like to ask those animal users and those who don't believe me, "How would you feel if you were kept in a cage away from your family, not knowing how your life is going to end up and have no freedom at all?" This is how animals are going to feel. I'd like to tell every person in this world to think about this question before taking away the animal's freedom and maybe even life. So, give animals freedom and be glad you did!



I would like to Hear more about your Views.
