Animal Rights (part 2)

Bonjour everyone :)

In my previous post about animal rights, I mention how animals are abuse brutality by inconsiderate people right? So today's topic is on HOW and WHY we should speak up for this living creatures.

As all of you know (obviously), animals can't speak up and even express their own feelings, so we as the human that has been given minds and brains to think, we SHOULD help them! All you need is the courage to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.

So here are some things 'average' people like us can do for this animals,

1. Take care of the animals you have, and encourage them to do the same too. By this, as you get more involve in take care of your pets, it will help you to educate your ownself. Then, you can begin educating other pet owner.
2. Make a donation to any pet organization that helps animal rights. Your donation is needed in helping and fight animal cruelty.
3. You can be creative with certain things, like for example helping with the local abuse prevention education programs for schools in your place or area. Other than that is to approach few stores nearby your are and ask them if they will sell some of your baked goods in their store, to benefit the local shelter.

And here is why many supporters of animal rights believe that animal abuse should STOP,

1. Animals have an inherent worth. They a value completely separate from their usefulness to humans.
2. Every creature with a will to live has a right to live free from pain and suffering.
3. All animals have the ability to suffer in the same way and to the same degree that humans do.
4. Animal rights is not just a philosophy, it's a social movement that challenges society’s traditional view that all nonhuman animals exist solely for human use.

There is many organization that supports animal right, like for instance, the most common and known organization is PETA (People for the Ethical Treament of Animals).
PETA quote that they believe, "animals have rights and deserve to have their best interests taken into consideration, regardless of whether they are useful to humans. Like you, they are capable of suffering and have an interest in leading their own lives". They continued, "PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in laboratories, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry", " PETA's aim is to stop animal suffering, and we use every available opportunity to reach people with our messages"


They are some other organization that supports this "petition". Here are some of the examples I found in Wikipedia,

• Animal Aid (UK)
• Animal Defense League (ADL)
• Animal Equality
• Justice Department (Animal Rights)
• People for Animal Liberation (PAL)
Uncaged Campaign

By the way, here's a picture I found on the net,

Khloe Kardashian

Linkin Park's lead singer, Chester Bennington

Justin Bieber

Glee's Lea Michele
