Nonhuman Animal Rights

Nonhuman animal rights refer to the ethical belief that animals, like humans, deserve moral consideration and should be protected from exploitation, suffering, and cruelty. This perspective recognizes that animals are sentient beings capable of experiencing pain, pleasure, and emotions. Advocates argue that animals have inherent worth and should have certain protections and freedoms, such as not being used for unnecessary testing, entertainment, or slaughter. The goal is to promote a more compassionate relationship between humans and animals, respecting their intrinsic value beyond mere utility.
