animal rights advocacy
Animal rights advocacy is the effort to promote the belief that animals deserve moral consideration and fair treatment, similar to humans. Advocates argue that animals have intrinsic value and should not be exploited or harmed for human benefit, such as in factory farming, entertainment, or research. Their goal is to influence laws, policies, and social attitudes to ensure animals are protected from cruelty, suffering, and unnecessary use. This movement emphasizes compassion, ethical responsibility, and the recognition of animals’ interests, seeking a more humane coexistence between humans and animals.
