Animal Rights Animal rights are a big issue in the world. People think animals aren’t like people because they think they don’t have emotions. Some people think otherwise. In some states, the law takes action for it, in other states they applaud it. There is a lot of different types of animal rights, this paper will cover three points; Animal Cruelty, Factory Farming, and Animal Experimentation. In the U.S. People hurt and kill animals, 32.4% animals are neglected ("Cruelty Against Animals"). Every day in the United States animals are beaten, neglected, or forced to struggle for survival. Animal neglect is not giving an animal the right food, water, shelter or vet care. Animal cruelty

Over 99% of farm animals in the U.S. are raised in factory farms. A factory farm is a big, industrial operation that raises large numbers of animals for food.

Everyone should eat organic meat if you’re going to eat meat at all. Organic meat is animals only raised by grass fed, no antibiotic given to them, and a nice place to live, no caged

Scientist test products on animals, mostly rats, mice, and rabbits, to see if it’s going to be harmful to humans. Scientist use animals to experiment on to inject diseases and try to find out what can cure it. They experiment on animals because they think animals don’t have emotions or a life. They sometimes like to use monkeys for experimentation since monkeys are closer to humans in genes and bodily functions. They do different inhumane tests on these animals; drug injections, given diseases, poisoned, and burned. Also get products dripped into their eyes to blind them. Animal experimentation isn’t
