  • Animals don’t have rights. I am an advocate for animal welfare. There is no reason to mistreat domestic animals. There will always be disagreements on what constitutes mistreatment. Animal testing is important to ensure human safety but it can be overdone. Lab animals should be well treated to the extent possible without compromising their testing purpose. I also believe most lab animals are generally treated well. Lab workers are not cruel monsters. Many of them have pets and many of those pets are retired lab animals. I have no use for PETA, HSUS and similar groups. They expose the worst offenders and try to make the public think they are typical of an entire industry. PETA also opposes most animal sporting events like dog sled races and horse pulls. They say working animals are being abused. The truth is that working animals are usually cared for and fed better than other domestic animals. Someone who gives an animal a job is a better friend to the animal than the person who takes the job away.

  • Animal testing isn’t nearly as important to product development as it was many years ago, so really that’s just a question to raise problems. I don’t think too many reasonable people truly disagree with PETA’s basic philosophy of treating animals ethically. The problem is that PETA constantly shoots itself in the foot. Every time they do something good in the world they turn around and make fools of themselves some other way. They seem to go out of their way to loose support. They’ve managed to make clown out of their organization so many times that the whole thing is little more than a joke anymore.

  • Depends on what you mean by animal rights. I believe we as humans are obligated to animals to keep them safe and free from abuse. ALL ANIMALS. Not just cute puppys and kittens. Cows, ducks, chickens, pigs…all of them. I’m vegan for the sole reason of how animals are treated on industrial farms and in slaughter houses in this country. Also, because of animal testing.

    I think it’s a terrible terrible person who thinks it’s okay to torture animals just so you can have shampoo or makeup. I couldn’t MAYBE understand it if it were to cure cancer or something and the animals were treated with respect and care instead of like live petri dishes.

    I think PETA makes a joke of themselves. I think if the people in charge there had any sense and would do things differently there would be a lot more vegans or at least people who cared about making changes. I actually hate PETA for making things harder on the rest of us.

  • Animal welfare, I’m all for. Animals rights, no. To have rights means to also having responsibilities and being held accountable for your actions, something animals are not capable of. I’m not against using animals for food and research, provided it is done as humanely as possible.

  • i think peta takes things overboard, there are even rumors that they stage the abuse videos they show, which i hope is not true. i do think animals deserve rights, and things have been getting better for them lately.

  • I feel that we should not torture animals, but it is okay to eat them. I feel that scientific testing is okay as long as the animal is treated properly. As for PETA I live by it People Eating Tasty animals.

  • I think they are very important! I support PETA 110%; they are awesome! I used to be a vegetarian, but I had to give that up as it was having a negative effect on my body.
