I think Animal Rights needs to be made stronger in the US. Now I am not arguing that they should have the same rights has humans for instance, I just think their rights need to be more humane. First of all I think animals should be treated with full respect. I don’t think they deserve to be hit or tortured in any manner. Recently, on Mar 11, 2008 Cullman County sanitation employees took care of several injured puppies that were found severely beaten and covered in blood, and in a dog food bag in front of a residence garbage pickup (The Cullman Times). If this were a case involving human babies it would have been handled more seriously. There would be teams of police force looking for the criminal that committed this crime. Considering, how this incident was involving only animals a report was filed by the Sheriff and the puppies were just nursed to health. There was no further investigation on who committed this act leaving the criminal free to injuring more innocent animals. I also find it very inhuman to eat animals. I understand that people may argue that they were put on earth for us to eat them, but what makes us as people any different. It is against the law for humans to eat other humans. Also, you don’t commonly see people going around eating cats and dogs because they have feelings, well so do cows, chickens, pigs and even fish. Animal testing is also another huge matter that needs to be addressed. People who have new products tested on them are compensated for their bodies, but animals have no choice. Scientists constantly use animals as test subjects giving the innocent creature no choice. If the product is faulty or dangerous, it could result in death for the animal. Could you ever see a scientist doing that to a human? In general, I think Animal Rights needs to be perfected in the United States, giving animals a safe and beneficial life.
