Do non-human animals have rights?
Do non-human animals have rights?
|
Anything alive has rights in my eyes. But they have different rights, obviously.
And by this, I do not mean they shouldn't be eaten. I love steak, chicken, turkey, etc. |
Well, in Islam, animals have the right to not be treated cruelly.

It's sad that it's not. >: |
Define "rights." Because they don't have a right to bear arms (unless they are bears =D)

I'm not a vegetarian though... |

Animals are living things. Living things live. Thus, they should be treated with respect. |
It's the natural order of things that humans eat meat.
|
They do, just not rights that human have./obvious
|
Animals have the right to be tastey.

This really shouldn't be a question.
Every thing that takes in oxygen is an animal. If Homo Sapiens have rights, than so should others. A fine example of something that should be corrected, are the people that will use live kittens/cats as shark bait. They hook them in the back and throw them into the salty water to bleed and squirm to attract sharks into biting. Now for me, I have a general hatred towards many of the Homo Sapiens. Cats to me are my family and no explanation with suede me otherwise. I know their body language, and I know how to deal with larger cats, so that I'm unharmed as well as them. Yes; all animals should have rights. I am by no means a vegetarian, eating animals is a way of nature. But I would like the animals that I am eating to have had a rich life. To me, anything can have a soul. And should be treated just as valuable, if not more, than human-life. |
LOL if cats are your friends you got some personal issues.

Although, it doesn't give some people the right to mindlessly slaughter animals in hunts for leisure or cockfighting. As in, don't kill for no reason. |
I don't really think animals have rights. Humans can hunt them, but stuff like dogs and chickens shouldn't be forced to fight to death, thats just sick and wrong imo. But hunting is o.k. in my book, most hunters eat and/or use what they kill, its not just -BLAM!- -deer dies- "onto the next one".
There is a difference between having a right and being treated properly. |

Venison is the ****... you cant get that at a store. The only reason I hunt is for the meat... You think I enjoy waking up at the ass crack of dawn and sit in the cold for the sport of it?

Yes, but we need them for food, so they would have different rights.

And I do it for pest control as well, for a few local farmers. Quote:
Besides, if you go out hunting, the animals you shoot have had a good like of freedom, while animals that go into the slaughterhouses often get mistreated. Quote:

They have the right to forever be silent, as they make their way to my dinner plate. XD
No, but seriously, I think they have the right to not be cruelly treated. Human-animals....lol.....XD |
I believe animal cruelty is a crime against life, but eating meat is fine as far as I am concerned.

"Non-human animals"
Your either a human or an animal bro. |
Umm...non-human animals? xD
Well, yeah, I believe they do! They're living things too! Why not? Plus, they were here first. |
animals have the right to choose between being fried or grilled
|
It all depends on where they are. Just like with humans, there's no universal set of rights for anything.
