Animal Rights

     "Isn't man an amazing animal?  He kills wildlife--birds, kangaroos, deer,
all kinds of cats, coyotes, groundhogs, mice, foxes and dingoes--by the million
in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed.  Then he kills domestic
animals by the billion and eats them.  This in turn kills man by the million,
because eating all those animals leads to degenerative--and fatal--health
conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer.  So then man tortures
and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases.  Elsewhere,
millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition
because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals.  Meanwhile,
some people are dying of  sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who kills so
easily and so violently, and once a year sends out cards praying for Peace on
Earth." (Coats, 13)

     We need to realize, that in today's society, animals deserve just as
much freedom as humans have.  Although we are larger in size, we are not

uses as food.  Advocates for animal rights justify their research by presenting
the obvious differences that exist between humans and animals.  These include
size, status, strength, and ability. Sometimes, one who is against animal rights
will take the attitude that “God gave them [animals] to us to use.” What these
researchers fail to recognize is PAIN.  All creatures are capable of feeling
pain.  If a creature is capable of experiencing the pain then they too can wish
for the pain to end.  That right, along with many others, of animals is being
denied to them even as we speak.  Animals have a few basic rights which should
be observed by all, no matter what company or corporation they belong to.  These
rights include freedom, the right to live peacefully in their own environment,
the right to receive respect and most importantly, the right to LIFE.
     Throughout history it has been noted by many, that humans have gained
