Animals are used as resources daily for human needs and wants. They are treated poorly and live in conditions that are inhuman. In factory farming these animals are kept in cramped spaces with very little space to move. They are pumped with many antibiotics which can make the animal create resistant bacteria that lands on our plates. These animals have very few laws that protect them in this sort of environment.
In the entertainment business these animals are trained to do many unnatural tricks for amusement. They are abused and neglected while being trained. It is legal for trainers to use bull hooks to train elephants to sit and stand on two feet for entertainment. Animals in this business are on the road all the time shoved in small crates to transport to the next location. These animals also have very few rights to protect them from these harmful acts.
For clothing it is kind of the same situation as factory farming, but some animals are abused while people are collecting their fur and they are also having their throats cut while still conscious feeling the pain of the blade.
Finally animals in laboratories are neglected and pumped and rubbed with chemicals and different mixtures of things to see how harmful it is. This is all for the safety of humans so they are not harmed by the experimental mixtures.
These animals have very few rights protecting them from abuse and neglect. We are using these certain animals for out wants and needs, which I believe is okay to a certain extent. If we are treating them with respect and care, and killing them humanely with out them feeling an ounce of pain should be our goal. The laws today that are protecting them are very minimal and have loop holes. I believe it is our duty to stand for these animals and give them a voice. It is our responsibility to protect them from harm and give them rights with no loop holes to protect them.
