Non-Human Rights

Non-human rights refer to the ethical principles and legal considerations that recognize certain moral or intrinsic values in animals and the environment, beyond human interests. While humans have specific rights, non-human rights aim to ensure that animals and ecosystems are treated with respect, minimizing suffering and promoting well-being. These rights challenge practices like cruelty, exploitation, and harm, advocating for compassion and sustainability. They recognize that non-human entities can have intrinsic worth and deserve protection, fostering a more ethical relationship between humans, animals, and nature.
