Animal rights and cruelty?

Question

What do you think about animal cruelty do you think that animals need more rights? I belive they do. What is your opioin?

Answer 1

i think that people should have less rights and animal cruelty should definitely have more enforceable laws stiffer penalties and steeper fines..animals don't need rights,i don't see how human standards can be applied to an animal but i think humans should have less of a right to harm animals so they could live as they should in peace and protected from morons who feel they have the right to harm

Answer 2

Yes, they should have more protection. We could start with smaller steps- animals should be protected from abuse (even if people abusing them are their owners), and in real life we can not expect to see any time soon that animals are not slaughtered anymore for food, clothing, .....but first step should be to have regulations how they can be treated in the process. What I see today are people going into extremes, some couldn't care less of animal rights, some insist on immediate liberation of all animals. And then nothing happens. If we just came down the earth, and take one step at a time, animals might be more protected.

Answer 3

There's a difference to a means to an end and meaningless cruelty. Testing medicines, hygenics, things that will mean something in the long run, that's a means to an end, cruelty for a meaningful purpose. There is, however, a thin line between meaningful and meaningless cruelty.

Answer 4

maximum of those animal rights communities overstep their limitations.. maximum of them are vigilante freaks.. "everybody is attempting to declare that one and all animals-- even the kinfolk ones that may no longer stay for an afternoon removed from a human-- must be enable "loose". How might desire to this in all probability be a sturdy factor.. If an animal can no longer stay removed from people.. and stay to tell the story. Why might or no longer this is a sturdy theory to enable it run loose?? so as that it gets out and isn't any longer able to discover foodstuff and finally end up lifeless? lifeless is greater effective than being cared for with the help of a guy or woman?? i do no longer think of so..

Answer 5

I believe that we should not treat animals in a mean fashion. I also believe that we need to be more responsible for our actions. just because someone has never hit or kicked an animal does not mean they have not been cruel to an animal. Not having your animals fixed and letting them breed unwanted animals or turning animals loose in the wild because we grow tired of them or grow bored with them is also cruel. The true wild animals are suffering because of "Pets" that were turned loose and are now competing for food and shelter.

Answer 6

I think animals should not be deliberately abused. On the other hand I don't think animals should be placed at or above the level of humans on the life ladder. Animals were put on this planet for humans to use to their benefit and comfort. Any rules, or laws that prevent that from happening and prevent mankind from advancing are unacceptable.

Answer 7

This question is a bit like having your house on fire and stopping to smoke a cigarette before you get out. Our constitutional rights are not even being applied to the human residents right now - we should worry about animal rights later.

Answer 8

I think that animals should have more protection under the law, but that we have to be careful about checking the consequences of those rights. For example, if we ban horse slaughter, then thousands of horses will be abandoned or killed very inhumanely, and they won't be able to tell us about it.

Answer 9

na, they´re animals.

how come nobody cares when the wolf eats a sheep, or the lion eats a ox? But if we eat em, all of a sudden its cruelty.

Answer 10

I think animals need rights but it shouldn't trump our rights as humans or our issues.
