In a research done by scientist shows that 92 out of every 100 drugs and food laws that passed in animal testing fails in humans.

Animal rights movements earlier have should us that animal have been around for a while

One topic that many scholars are debating right now is the topic of animal rights. The questions are, on what basis are rights given, and do animals possess rights?
