Animalism

Animalism is a political ideology that emphasizes the rights and welfare of animals. It advocates for the idea that animals should not be exploited or harmed for human benefit, promoting a view that animals have intrinsic value and deserve consideration in ethical decision-making. This concept often overlaps with animal rights and welfare movements, which argue against practices like factory farming, animal testing, and habitat destruction. Animalism urges society to rethink its relationships with animals, advocating for a more compassionate and respectful approach to their treatment in various contexts, including agriculture, entertainment, and scientific research.
